|
Two weeks have now passed since the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Zapatista uprising on January 1st, 1994, and much has been written and printed about it since then. The words and actions of the Zapatistas during the four-day event have been scrutinized and analyzed, leaving little else to be said. A range of opinions from the Mexican media has already been shared here by Schools for Chiapas. We bring you a personal account of one of the many guests of the Zapatistas.

It would seem that, to a global society, self-absorbed by its technical-scientific advances, turned in on itself, narcissistic, fleeing towards escape and pleasure, which is rushing us towards climatic and civilizational catastrophe, the memory and the presence of communities like the Zapatistas would repeat to our ears every day memento humanitatis: remember humanity, that it is the relationship of care with all beings that humanizes us and makes hope possible. For all this, thanks to the Zapatista communities.
