In Mexico giant march and general strike demand justice for murdered women

Candice Yanez Download PDF flyer One contingent in the giant women’s march in Mexico City March 8. Photo: Alan Roth. Millions of women in Mexico went on a historic, nationwide strike on March 9, boycotting workplaces and other spaces, like schools and marketplaces, to protest gender-based violence and the government’s impunity in face of the country’s surging femicide rate. Workplaces and public spaces−parks, libraries, and public transport−were nearly empty with only men present because women joined the 24-hour protest, called “Un Día Sin Mujeres” or “A Day Without Women”. It is the largest women’s strike in the history of Mexico, whose past is rich with mass labor and student strikes. The mass protest was organized to demonstrate how the absence of women impacts society. ...

Mexico offers political asylum to Julian Assange

Julian Assange speaks to the media from the balcony of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in May 2017 Mexico has said that it was ready to offer political asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, after a British judge blocked his extradition to the United States to face espionage charges. "I'm going to ask the foreign minister to carry out the relevant procedures to request that the UK government releases Mr Assange and that Mexico offers him political asylum," President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador told reporters. The leftist leader welcomed the British court's rejection of the US request to extradite the 49-year-old Australian publisher due to the risk of suicide, calling it a "triumph of justice". "Assange is a journalist and deserves a chance," he said. Lopez Obrador sa...

Obrador’s Visit to Trump is a Betrayal of the U.S. and Mexican People

by LAURA CARLSEN Photograph Source: Israel.rosas83 – CC BY-SA 4.0 To praise a tyrant is to insult a people. López Obrador’s proposed visit to Washington is an insult to the American people, and especially to the 37 million Mexican migrants who live in the United States. The purpose of the state visit with Donald Trump on July 8 is to celebrate the entry into force of the Mexico-United States-Canada Treaty (T-MEC) on July 1. It comes at the worst possible time. First, AMLO is traveling to the United States at the height of the pandemic in both countries. In the U.S., a new outbreak concentrated in the southern states has secured its position as the world leader in deaths from COVID-19, largely attributed to the lack of measures and strategies by the federal government and t...

US Drinking Beer, Producing Cars and Military Tech at the Expense of Mexican lives

by TAMARA PEARSON Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair Fridges in Mexico are empty of beer because production has ceased as the product isn’t considered essential. However, US company Constellation Brands is defying local orders and forcing Mexican workers to continuing producing its Corona and Modelo beers for export to US consumers. The company is just one of thousands of US-owned brands operating on the Mexican side of the border so they can plunder Mexican resources and take advantage of extremely low Mexican and migrant wages, while sending all the goods north. Together these companies form vast factory-scapes of cities where they hog the water and leave locals without. The operations of these companies take on an even more sinister tone in a country where deaths du...

COVID-19 Comes to Nezahualcóyotl: a Mexican City Confronts a Pandemic

by JOHNNY HAZARD Photograph Source: Mauro Parra – CC By 2.0 One of the cities most vulnerable to Covid-19 in Mexico is Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, often known simply as Neza, which is adjacent to the east side of Mexico City and specifically to the boroughs of Iztacalco and Iztapalapa. The latter has the highest Covid infection rate in the capital city. Nezhualcóyotl is named for “the poet king” of the indigenous people of the region once dominated by Lake Texcoco. The lake has undergone an intentional drying process since the arrival of Cortés and his gang in 1521. The city of Neza was founded recently, 50 years ago, from a series of “informal” settlements on the sandy soils of the lake bed. It is now the most densely populated municipality in Mexico, with over 15,000 people...

Who are the Narco-Terrorists: George H. Walker Bush: The Bush Family and the Mexican Drug Cartel

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, In December 2019, Donald Trump offered to intervene in Mexico, i.e. “to go after the Drug Cartels”. The Mexican president turned down Trump’s generous offer. And then President Trump confirmed that his administration was considering categorizing “drug cartels” as “terrorists”, akin to Al Qaeda (with the exception that they are “Catholic terrorists”). They would henceforth be designated by Washington as “foreign terrorist organizations”. What is the intent? Create a justification for US-led “counterterrorism” (military) operations directed against Latin America countries? Extend the “War on Terrorism” to Latin America? “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P). Go after the “Narco-terrorists”. ...
