ZAPATA we needed another Revolution?
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Today it has been like any other, until makes moments at which reviewing my email, I read an electronic mail that to me an excellent friend sent (Norm) remembering to me that today -20 of November is day of the Mexican Revolution - without place to doubts the more important historical event that we have been in the last 100 years old.

The interesting thing is that Norm, does not live in Mexico, she is resident in New York… no of my friends or friends of the school, I believe that they have remembered of which we would have to celebrate today.

By the previous thing it is that I ask myself we can celebrate another anniversary of the Mexican Revolution? sincerely I believe that no, and I create it, because after 98 years that have passed from incio of this armed movement, the vindications that once the creators did of the Mexican Revolution - farmers and proletarian classes (same that time later was recognized in our magnanimous Political Constitution) have in the last been annulled to five sexenios of the governments technocrats that has had in Mexico, that of cautious but forceful form, little by little have been dismantling the social democratic State that was from the constituent Congress of 1916-1917.

So that one reformed the article 74 of the Federal Law of the Work so that days so important that to commemorate as the 05 of February (promulgation of the Constitution), 21 of March (natalicio of Benito Juárez) or 20 of November (anniversary of the Revolution) let consider themselves as days of rest obligaotorio? Perhaps the certain answer, never we know it, nevertheless, the reform to this article can be of smaller importance, in comparison with the reforms to 27 articles constitutionalist (for the agrarian distribution), to the 130 (Church-Be relations) in 1992 (government of Salt mines of Gortari) or finally the recent legal reforms within the framework of the “Reformation of the State”. All these reforms without a doubt oppose the original teleología of the Constitution of 1917. All these reforms have been on the fundamental political decisions that they are incompatible with the type of State that constituted our Fundamental Law.

Finally I want to finish this brief commentary with the answer that I would like to have of one of the true creators of the Mexican Revolution, Emiliano Zapata.

- we needed another Revolution in Mexico? -

We will never know what is what would respond to this question if Zapata, knew political, social and economic the situation present. Of which yes I am safe, it is of that phrase that intoned Shelter well Ochoa in the “suriana Ball of the death of Emiliano Zapata”:

- arroyito rebel, who said that one clavel to you…

he says that the head has not died who Zapata has to return

I take leave today vitoreando Zapata, Villa, the farmers and workers who gave their life during the movement…. to the Mexican Revolution

Expectativas!!!!

¡¡¡¡Expectativas!!!!
Translated into English by: Jorge Antonio
El pasado sábado tuve la oportunidad de concluir el ciclo de la "Escuela para promotores y promotoras de derechos humanos" -sin duda ha sido una grata experiencia. Ese mismo día los chicos que nos compartieron algunas experiencias que han tenido en su paso por el activismo, de igual forma, nos invitaron a conocer la página de internet "TAKING IT GLOBAL", por los comentarios que hicieron sobre la página, me interesó conocerla de inmediato, ya que no sabía que existiera una página de internet que contará con muchas herramientas, información, espacios, en fin muchísimo material para el trabajo en el activismo.

Por lo anterior es que considero oportuno, refererirme a las EXPECTATIVAS que tengo de la página y de los diferentes espacios que contiene para los usuarios. La oportunidad de contar con un BLOG como en el que ahora me encuentro redactando, sin duda es una de las mejores herramientas con las que se pueden trabajar, ya que nos permite compartir con diversas personas, nuestras ideas, proyectos, situaciones o simplemente lo que estamos sintiendo. Otro de los aspectos que considero bastante reconocibles, es la oportunidad de interactuar con gente de todo el mundo, lo que se vulve mucho más fácil de realizar con la función de traducción del texto -me pareció una idea genial.

Finalmente para concluir este pequeño comentario y darme así a conocer en este espacio -volviendo con las expectativas- es que espero conocer muchísima gente con la que pueda compartir experiencias, anécdotas, información. Espero que esto de escribir en el BLOG se vuelva una práctica constante y permanente a través de la incursión que ahora me encuentro haciendo en el ACTIVISMO.
