We want you to know that after finalizing the work of the First Worldwide Festival of Resistances and Rebellions against Capitalism, in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, delegates started their return journey to their communities and places of origin. 

Pronunciamiento del Primer Festival Mundial de las Resistencias y Rebeldías contra el Capitalismo

This cowardly aggression on the part of the bad government shows us their fear of those of us below and to the left who, from our communities and peoples, cities and countries, come together in the Festival to get together, listen to each other and share our resistances, rebellions and our pains, with many others who also resist and rebel, to thus multiply our resistances and rebellions, and to make ours the pain of those that are missing.
We make a call to be attentive to coming aggressions and hope for the safe arrival of all the Festival delegates in their places of origin.
