Violence in this country is generalized,
as is repression.
And across the entire Mexican territory
there are countless acts of brutality and violence
that we experience in our daily lives.
Land is being given to neoliberal corporations
and people are defending their territories.
When people come out to defend their territories,
the way to protect capital or neoliberalism is with repression.
When Peña Nieto first stepped into Congress
to start his term as President of Mexico,
a very brutal police operation was unleashed,
in which a comrade is lethally injured.
He died a year later from his injuries.
Another comrade lost their eye.
Many were injured.
For me it represents
the vision of the future that Peña Nieto brought with him into office.
To the extent that he had to mark
his first day with a taste of how things were going to go.
It's also very important
to look deeply within ourselves.
And by that I mean
to look at our daily lives
- our relationships as individuals
and collective members.
How are we thinking about patriarchy?
It's not only neoliberalism.
It's not only capitalism.
There's a much larger system
that's attacking us,
and constantly punching us in the face.
Especially for us here in Mexico.
So it's very important
for us to be constantly reflecting
and giving feedback to one another
as comrades.
