Provoked by the recent kidnapping of two and murder of one member off the EZLN, SupGaleano warns of the impending crisis created by the actions and inaction of the government of the State of Chiapas under Rutilio Escandón.
Looks like the Zapatistas are about to take arms against a paramilitary group in the region? holy shit all support
Seems like ORCAO is part of a desestablizing effort on Chiapas working for Rutilio Escandón, the governor of Chiapas. State government has been systematically sabotaging negotiation efforts between the federal government and the zapatistas, and there has been a long line of brutal repression, particularly outstanding is the violent repression of normal school teachers protesting over the right of taking pen and paper tests instead of online tests in Mactumatzá. Those tests are mandatory to keep their positions and the repression was completely uncalled for.
Federal government is in a particular vulnerable position, Rutilio Escandón is affiliated to the PVEM party, which as of a few weeks has become a key player as AMLO's legislative majority hinges on their support. Who knows what will happen if the zapatistas end their historic 26 year truce.
I can't stress enough that it is a pretty solid bet that the state government is forcing the zapatistas' hand here, an end of the truce would be absolute lethal poison to AMLO and probably prematurely end his "fourth transformation" lofty goals.
Not even, they're some sort of offshoot of the former ruling party in Mexico, PRI, meant to capture votes from clueless voters turned into a syphon of electoral budget money. It represents a handful of rich families, mostly, some of them are some sort of modern feudal lords in Chiapas (like the Velasco family). They believe in nothing. They're not even a party, despite acting as one.
Of course i am not aware of specifics but yeah, the state supported coffee union or something along those lines have been not happy with zapatistas not playing ball with them and have been burning down coffee depots and shit for a bit. it seems that zapatistas have reached a breaking point with that.
crazy shit, it would be the first straight up war action by them since they declared themselves autonomous almost 30 years ago, im pretty sure

So...the PVEM are literal eco-fash from what I read. Absolute nightmare group of people.
