Although we were back in the mountains of the Southeast, your voice and fight reached us thanks to companier@s who sent the information on how your fights went. We saw when they were born, we saw how you fought. Today we are here with you, we can call you companier@s already.
And we want to say to the National Assembly of Laborers that we are on your side, Your demands for justice are the same as those of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation.
We see that most of the companier@s here are old. And by this we mean that, back in our lands, the aged people are the ones that bond more, The ones who direct us.
I am not commandante, I am a subcommandante. Above me are those who command, the indigenous men and women of the mountains in Chiapas. Men and women like you, simple, humble and hard working people. We always listen to their word with respect and attention.
Because their experience is greater, their wisdom, their knowledge of the laws of the soil.
We do not care about the people who have studied a lot, or that have a good speech. We see and listen to the people with a simple heart, their words, their work, but, more than anything, for what they really are.
We will organize together, we will fight the system and change history, that is what we must do.
And for this reason we say that this is Another Campaign, because the speech of the people comes first - their problems, their fights and then, later, with their words and anger we will create a National Programme of Struggle.
Our aim is not that somebody comes to Tlaxcala
and says what the people must have, but that the people themselves say what is needed. Then we will make a new law, a new Constitution. And then, only then, will we be able to see earth reborn and bloom with dignity.
Compañer@s of Tlaxcala:
Make a decision, think well, and see your hearts being part of history. Enter to the Other Campaign. Unite to this fight that is the fight of many hearts in all México.
