México 2012, año de la sucesión presidencial. Sin duda, también un año de protestas. Miles manifestaron su repudio a la candidatura a la presidencia del priísta Enrique Peña Nieto (EPN). La sociedad civil fue testigo de la manipulación de las elecciones del 1 de julio con el objetivo de imponer a EPN. Los principales actores de la fechoría fueron: el Instituto Federal Electoral (IFE), empresas como Monex, Soriana y el Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI). La compra de votos fue lo que permitió a EPN ganar las elecciones y la coordinación de estos actores garantizaron esa compra.

No obstante a las protestas previas, el 1 de diciembre, cuando EPN asumiría oficialmente el poder, se esperaba una asistencia mayor a las acciones convocadas contra la imposición por actores como el #YoSoy132 y organizaciones coordinadas en el Movimiento Contra la Imposición.
A través de las redes sociales, se convocó a acciones en los hastags #CercoaSanLazaro, #1Dmx y #MéxicoNoTienePresidente. La convocatoria general se hizó para el sábado el 1 de diciembre a las 4 am en el Monumento a la Revolución, lugar donde, desde hace meses, se mantiene la Acampada Revolución. De allí se marcharía a San Lázaro.

Al menos unos cuatrocientos jóvenes llegaron a la Acampada desde la noche del 30 de noviembre. Se pintaban mantas, se leía, se preparaba café y tortas en una improvisada cocina del plantón y se discutía la estrategia de seguridad y de medios. En una pequeña televisión al interior del campamento se monitoreaba como EPN y su recién nombrado gabinete recibía el poder de manos de Felipe Calderón en el Palacio Nacional, eran las 12 pm.

Durante le proteste contro la finanziaria davanti a Dáil Éireann [camera dei deputati] il 7 dicembre 2010, Gregor Kerr ha pronunciato il seguente discorso a nome del Workers Solidarity Movement. Ricordando la necessità di contestare questa finanziaria, Kerr aggiunge che bisogna guardare oltre e sottolineare il fatto che il capitalismo in quanto modo di organizzare la società è moralmente e politicamente bancarotta. Se vogliamo assicurarci che questa crisi finanziaria, e la miseria economica che ha portato a milioni di lavoratori e lavoratrici in tutto il mondo, sia l'ultima allora occorre organizzarci, non per cambiare gli amministratori del capitalismo bensì per rovesciare il sistema capitalista e sostituirlo con un sistema che mette i bisogni dei molti al di sopra dell'avidità dei pochi. ... read full story / add a comment
