day like today BORN IN 1966, BEGAN AS BRIGADE AND THREE YEARS LIVED IN NICARAGUA IN LATE 80'S

A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE OF SOLIDARITY WITH NICARAGUA

THE PAST 25 FEBRUARY FILED WITH ITS PARTNERS THE DOCUMENTARY "THE GREAT WHORE WE WENT 'COLLECTING THE EXPERIENCE OF THE DIGNITY TOUR BY THE COMMUNITIES OF THIS COUNTRY

- How did this project?

- Born in 2009, when that celebrated the 30 anniversary of the Sandinista revolution. From the international solidarity committee wanted to make an album in tribute to all those who fought and gave their lives in that way. We then with the participation of Abraham Castellon, a songwriter Nicaraguan Malecon Magofermin Records and the collective. In July of that year we present the disk, and among all involved, we began to consider bringing the disc to the communities where we work from doing years in Nicaragua. When we gave shape to this project, we decided that it would finance with our own resources. Throughout 2010 we were doing gigs in Aragon and with the money we collect is paid for the instruments, which at the end of the tour were donated to the Youth House of Santa Rosa del Penon (Nicaragua), van, etc. The nine people who traveled the trip paid out of pocket.

- How does materialize in a documentary?

- For concerts took a camera with the idea of \u200b\u200brecording the shows. We wanted to do something around with all that material. We thought it would be a good way for people who had contributed something to this idea knew what he had been, but also, in Nicaragua, we wanted the people in the community have that memory. Already been sent copies, and it seems that even they will put in some television. We understand that solidarity is something round, during the tour lived with many people, from the Nicaraguan media supported the initiative. And we wanted to return everything received in some way.

- When you think about cooperation activities, the music seems to fit. How have they achieved?

- From the Committee understand solidarity as something people to people, rather than the use cooperation. More preferable to link social and political struggles. From the beginning maintain ties with Sandinista groups, denouncing the abuses they have suffered communities. Our activity in Nicaragua comes also through resources, but the main objective is to condemn inequality. We understand that people are also entitled to have fun, fun. These communities are more difficult to reach and every concert is just becoming a party. Is another fundamental right, access to culture and fun.

- What was the reaction in the community?

- From the beginning, the reaction is to work so that everything goes smoothly. Since the sectors linked to the Sandinistas gave us a lot of technical support. All equipment was living in the homes of the people, for example. They were also happy with the party, to see a battery. Many people in communities remember and send us email to know when we return.

- What is now the future of documentary?

- We've posted on the internet, on vimeo.com. We do not want commercial, the goal is to reach many people as possible. Now we want to continue presenting in Aragon. After the screening we did in Zaragoza, will continue to rotate through several villages. The musicians will also attend one of these places.

- Where does the title?

- is an expression of there. The quote is from Abraham, just before leaving on tour, while watching the map. Something like "finally did it."

HARASSMENT, INTIMIDATION BY THE FEDERAL ARMY IN COMMUNITIES IN FORMING THE MICHOACAN FNLS

The National Front of Struggle for Socialism (FNLS) reports that on Wednesday February 23 this year, a federal military convoy entered the Indian community Ihuatzio Tzintzuntzan municipality using violence against population. At 9:00 pm assaulted a young group who forced a halt with big words and so arrogant to review with shoving and threats they said they were going to break the mother if not left to the routine.

The next day continued their campaign of harassment, playing house to house and asking parents or mothers to care You want community? The answer they received was unanimous, " not, according to the customs of the community, she can take care of itself." From this day are quartered in a private home in the community without the consent of the civil authorities, ignoring respect for custom, laid down in Article 2 of the Constitution of the United Mexican States, which talks about the right to self-determination of indigenous peoples and the right to the establishment of community police.

Ignoring discontent and discontent of the people set up roadblocks at the entrance to the community, a place known for Sanabria. The special characteristic of the checkpoints are authoritarianism and arrogance with which the target population, preventing the free transit to the municipality and the city of Patzcuaro.

want to reiterate that these events have been occurring in other communities where it operates and the FNLS roots, take days of struggle by denouncing serious human rights violations and constitutional violations by the army and federal police to require the live presentation of the disappeared by the Mexican State is criminalized our struggle.

In this same situation are the communities of Union and Progress Tables, Municipality of Charo. In the first, the first Tuesday of March, at approximately 21:30 am two trucks and two military trucks took over the community, creating anxiety in the population. Currently quartered without the community gives its approval for this, the second, the same day two military vehicles entered the main road through the community, pointing their guns at women, children and the elderly. Once in the last house, turned and with the same authoritative pose withdrew.

This is due to increased violence institutionalized and systematized conducted by the Mexican State justified in the alleged "war war on drugs" where costs are paid by the people, totaling more than 35 000 victims , Besides this the crimes against humanity against social activists, human rights defenders, including the murder of relatives of Josefina Reyes Salazar, Malena, Elias and his wife, Maricela Escobedo, Susana Chavez ... only to denounce and demand justice to the abuses and violations of the Army and Federal Police who directly and indirectly is leading this violent scenario and state terrorism.

Militarization is a strategy, which in practice is the application of a military police state fascist practices. Practices that have been reflected Enforced Disappearances in political and social reasons, the murders, to impose a climate of terror, the creation of paramilitary groups to threaten and intimidate the organized communities.

We hold the federal government for any act of repression, of all crimes committed in Michoacán against social activists, as well as physical and psychological integrity of the members of FNLS, and what may happen in communities which has roots.
