Mexico City: Barricade at CCH Vallejo in solidarity with prisoners & for a Black June

On May 11, 25 encapuchadxs (hooded ones) blocked the avenue 100 meters away from the entrance of the College of Science and Humanities in Vallejo. This street agitation came as a response to the calls for a Black June (boycott of the upcoming general elections in June) and as a way to honor the anti-authoritarian compañeros Fernando Bárcenas, Miguel Betanzos, Luis Sotelo and Abraham Cortés who are currently imprisoned in the dungeons of the Mexican state.

The barricade lasted for more than an hour during which police from the Federal District approached several times. Eventually the encapuchadxs used homemade firecrackers to cover their retreat. At the end of the action a police roadblock one block away from the barricade was attacked with stones and firecrackers which forced the police to abandon the site.

Mexico: Responsibility claim for attack on PRI headquarters in Oaxaca

On May Day during the massive march by Section 22 of the National Education Workers Union (SNTE) in Oaxaca a group of 15 comrades decided to break with the sheepish normalcy of the march and storm the headquarters of the PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party, Mexico's ruling party) in the name of our imprisoned comrades.

Immediate solidarity to:

Luis Fernando Sotelo

Fernando Bárcenas

Abraham Cortes Ávila

We also claim this action in the name of the people's struggle for autonomy and the boycott of the electoral process.

For a Black June everywhere

Death to the state and long live anarchy!

Mexico: EPR Calls For A Boycott of the Upcoming Elections

05.05.15: The insurgent guerrilla group, EPR (Popular Revolutionary Army), has today released a statement in support of boycotting the upcoming elections. Calling voting, supporting the terrorism of the State.

“History has shown us that voting legitimizes the regime, which is responsible for the conditions we the people live in, misery and poverty. Voting is legitimizing the unemployment and low wages. Voting legitimizes and supports the erosion of our constitutional rights and our inalienable human rights such as the right to employment, education and life. It is legitimizing the terrorism of the State against the people, accepting and applauding the assassinations, forced disappearances, extrajudicial executions, torture, repression, harassment and hunger over the people as political terrorism.”

They mentioned the case of the students of Ayotzinapa, that were disappeared by the State, adding, “It is clear that these crimes against humanity is a crude reflection of what this police state is and the terrorism of the State. The repressive and unpopular government continues with their criminalization of popular discontent, solidarity with the normalista students of Ayotzinapa, is the proof that the State has neither the will nor the means to find the detained/disappeared because it is the one responsible for that. It is proof of its participation in the crimes against humanity. From the government institutions, it denies its role in these crimes of the State.”

On April 30th at approximately 1:00PM a group of about 30 encapuchadxs (hooded ones) interrupted regular traffic outside Acatlán School of Higher Studies with barricades. For over an hour and a half the encapuchadxs distributed propaganda encouraging a boycott of the upcoming elections along with the call for agitation in the name of a Black June in all territories administered by the Mexican state. Banners were hung in solidarity with anarchist prisoners and cries were heard alluding to the Chicago martyrs of the 1st of May.

Upon the arrival of trucks and motorcycles of the Mexico state police the barricades were lit, rockets were detonated and rocks and molotov cocktails were thrown at the thugs in uniform. Soon after the encapuchadxs retreated with no arrests being made.
