Leader of Zapatistas
Subcomandante Marcos
"The natural wealth that leaves these
lands doesn't travel over just these
three roads (leading to Chiapas).
Chiapas is bled through thousands of
veins: through oil ducts and gas
ducts, over electric wires, by railroad
cars, through bank accounts, by
trucks and vans, by ships and
planes...And what tribute does this
land continue to pay to various
empires? Oil, electric energy, cattle,
money, bananas, honey, corn, cocoa,
tobacco, sugar, soy...and Chiapan
blood flows out through a thousand
and one fangs sunk into the neck of
southeastern Mexico."
