BROTHERS, SISTERS, COMRADES:

The intervention of the Federal Police (PFP) in our state, rather than any sort of defeat for the popular movement in Oaxaca, has fortified its convictions and desire to continue in the struggle. The incursion of the PFP to our city has only added to the repudiation and the organization of marginalized sectors of our population, who have now incorporated themselves in the struggle; the unjust violence of the grey soldiers [the PFP wear gray uniforms] has multiplied the resistance from the barricades and the willingness to defend our city.

Once again, Fox and Calderon have made a mistake by trying to fold the teacher's and popular movement, the grand strategist, Eduardo Medina Mora, ex-president of CISEN and currently federal secretary of public security Eduardo Medina Mora, was mistaken; Diódoro Carrasco was mistaken, the PRI and the PAN were mistaken in wanting to impose terror amongst the citizens and war in a peaceful civil movement

Dreams of reelection for Monsignor Abascal will cost him quite a lot, for having decided to nullify dialogue and negotiation by the use of repression; the hypocrisy of swearing to god yet having his hands covered with the blood of our people show what negotiation and diologue mean to the ultra-right.

The response from our people has been one of great heroism and they have defended the movement with the force of reason, dignity and organization.

The barricades in our districts and neighborhoods are synonymous with civil resistance, but also a great historical lesoon for the times to come, the barricades are already revolutionary schools for the popular movement, where the fight against the oppressors show the valient attitude of free men and women.

In this great school our people are formed to combat government imposition, be it state or federal; call him Ulises Ruiz or Felipe Calderón.

The taking of the Zócalo by the gray soldiers has been a characaturesque victory and if they think that with it they are going to stop the popular movement, they will once again be mistaken; even committing the biggest atrocities against our people, they will not be able to calm this social discontent that is spreading and growing in the state and in the country, inevitably we will all come together in the revolutionary struggle.

If Ulises Ruiz is thinking about 'governing' with the permanent support of the PFP, we tell him that in spite of that it will not be possible for him to govern, because the popular movement will always find diverse forms of struggle against the authoritarian politics of the PRI (Party of the Institutional Revolution).

The orders of Fox and Calderón leave bare the stamp with which this fascist regime will resolve social conflict, and the treatment that will be given to opposition and criticism; Fox and Abascal should be put on trial politically and judicially for their direct responsibility in the deaths of Oaxacan citizens and the atrocious human rights violations in this new dirty war that is being brought against this legal and peaceful movement; Calderón should be taken from Los Pinos (the site of the presidential palace) on December first as an impostor and and for validatinng repression to protect the mafioso interests of the PRI.

To the oligarchs and administrators in turn, Fox, Calderón, Ulises, Abascal, we say that the story is still unfinished, for us it is only the beginning of new stages and forms of struggle, the final victory will be that of our heroic and dignified people.

Compañeros: don't let the Repressive Federal Police intimidate us, let us all keep taking measures to avoid dispersion, disorganization, and against our mobilization, and for this is is necessary that:

1. We maintain unity between the teachers and the people above any sort of tactical disagreement.

2. The teachers suspend all negotiation with the Department of the Interior (Secretaría de Gobernación) and postpone the return to classes until the PFP withdraws from our state, the dirty war against our people is suspended, and the cacique Ulises Ruiz steps down.

3. Keep reinforcing the barricades and blockades with physical presence and its creative defense

4. In the coming days we convoke a mass popular mobilization in the state to renounce the presence of the PFP, demand the immediate leave of Ulises Ruiz, and to declare Felipe Calderón Hinojosa unwelcome in our state.

5. We continue strengthening relations with the people of towns, districts, and neighborhoods work centers, and people willing to mobilize themselves to condemn this repression and to defend the dignity of the Oaxacans.

6. Continue promoting popular self-defense as the response to government agression.

7. Combine the resources of legal, semi-clandestine, and clandestine struggles to avoid detention, forced disappearance and assassinations of the direction of the popular movement

8. Establish anew points of meeting and organization outside of the military-police ring, by delegations, work centers, collectives, organizations, core groups, and that we keep track of our companeros to avoid disappearances and infiltrations.

9. Establish alternative forms of communication that pass along information from the popular movement.

10. We efficiently coordinate the movement regionally to continue responding with organization, mobilization and political actions, and continue with these forms of struggle until the fall of Ulises Ruiz Ortiz even with the intervention of
federal military and police forces.

11. Begin forming popular rings around the military-police forces that are posted in some points of our capital city, seeing as they are an army of occupation without popular support.

12. Spread organizing, mobilization and massive political actions to renouce the repressive action of both state and federal governments, and that we spread the rejection of the politics of the PAN and the PRI reflected in the two people, Felipe Calderón aand Ulises Ruíz.

13. Continue organizing caravans from different points of the country in solidarity with the Oaxacan people, and that international solidarity actions solidify in political actions to renounce the fascist regimen of Fox and Calderón.

14. Maintain permanent contact with national and international non-governmental Human Rights Defense organizations so that they may observe, denounce, and establish mechanisms for the protection of the human rights of the Oaxacan people.

15. To be informed, detect and denounce the meeting points, routines and movements of troops and commanders of the locall military-police forces as well as the PFP

16. To be informed, detect, and denounce the pro-government traitors and paramilitaries.
