The indignant teachers

National They suffer lacks and incomprehension The indignant teachers By: Carlos Damian September 2, 2013 In front of the complaints of residents of the Capital they explain: the union fight “is not a whim" Mexico.- The magisterial dissidence organized in the National Coordinator of workers of the Education (CNTE) it carried out last Tuesday (8/27/13) more street mobilizations; the most notorious, in South Peripheral, to the height of the headquarters of TVAzteca. In another context, groups of villagers in diverse points of Guerrero they demanded, in public manifestations, the deliberation of the Community Guard they detainees in passed days, especially the event of the Regional Coordinator's leader of Community Authorities (CRAC) of Olinala, Nestora Salgado Garcia. The marches and the rising disorders roads generate convulsion in some sectors of the society that spread to see to the demonstrators like a direct threat to the daily normality. Such perceptions are fed from diverse informative means, which mash to their audiences with the message that it is intolerable the “impunity" of those who express political, social and economic uneasiness by means of meetings. At Zocalo’s camp, a labyrinth of roofs and tents We are before an unpublished situation that we didn't see from the 68’s, where the television conductors lynch them and they put them of example to hit them and to repress them with soldiers, since it is not possible such a manifestation in Mexico City. The thousands of indignant teachers with the educational reformation with which the federal government prescribes to backs of the town and graduates of the education face every day with this labor injustice, in “theirs sit-down strike in resistance” in the Zocalo Square of the Mexican capital, all the material lacks that it imposes the precariousness: from the lack of water, bathrooms, water closet and watering-cans until inclemency of the rains and the illnesses. However it doesn't stop to surprise their good spirit and until their capacity to face the difficult situation to blow of laughs, games and until jokes. Even, during the stops, marches and sit-down strike, the youngest jump or they play, like it happened yesterday in Bucareli Street, near the Department of the Interior. It will be this condition of union activity of the south, perhaps not, because apart from Oaxaca or Guerrero State they also come from Puebla and Michoacan State. Some come spontaneously from all parts of the Republic to find out and without believing it they are inside the manifestation, sometimes. It highlights the organization capacity, mobilization, their patience and physical resistance, although many have already fallen prey of intestinal and breathing illness, like they report in one of carps “three or four” of medical services that maintain between the labyrinth of roofs and tents. If some homage had to make the magisterial bases, they would have to be the rope, to the cardboard or the plastic, magic solutions to appear of anything, in some minutes: houses on the stone, bathrooms on strainers, water closet on hole when opening the covers of the tubes of industrial water, cellars for the provision donated by organizations and citizens with solidarity. We also find some auditory for the assemblies, clinical, offices, bedrooms and to projection rooms of documental. With all the above-mentioned on the back of the teachers, to also invent paths, squares and labyrinths, tortuous riddles even for themselves. To enter to the sit-down strike for Madero, Moneda, Pino Suarez, or November 20 is to enter to a small lost city or a field of refugees. In spite of it, the camp works intense and cheerily for two weeks, to against all lack and in particular of the shortage and of the attempt of the rains. If the cloudburst arrives at night, it is necessary to wake up, to stand up or to sit down in the heap of suitcases for not being wet, as a chicken. "We live in resistance and that implies a sacrifice and annoyances that we are willing to continue supporting", Charly says, after a moment of distrust the fourth year-old professor of basic in a small town of Oaxaca. The above-mentioned is understandable because like he comments Eligio Hernandez (EH), member of the press commission and propaganda of the union section 22, it has been detected “strange people” that spy the activities of the camp". Even, during the chat with Charly, some neighbors commented about the robbery of their belongings, another of the risks. EH abandons a while their work in front of a laptop, it is carved the eyes and he comments that in the camp there are commissions of security, hygiene, health, foods, publicity, and squad, as those that go to the streets and schools to inform on the movement. Teachers of Guerrero State explain that this protest “is not a trip of pleasure by no means it is a whim", because with the plans to privatize it is in risk the future of the public, lay, gratuitous and humanist education", as well as “the labor rights achieved along the Mexican history." To maintain a worthy attitude, they add, “it has their price", quoted in annoyances, risks of repression and the anger of many citizens of the capital, “to those that we request those excuses and their understanding". From the entrance of the Madero Street it leaves kind of a commercial area. The sales of the teachers are in fact very few. Most in mallones, sweaters, belts, dominoes, hand lamps, sodas, sandwiches and other they are offered, to all lung, for the traveling ones always who have already invaded the Plastic City. Although in the Michoacan’s area the teachers have already installed a carnitas’ shop and in the Oaxaca’s part another of ' tlayudas', the mentors are, in the face of all, buyers of goods and services. If their group has not organized a kitchen or some neighbor doesn't invite them, they have to look for breakfasts, foods and dinners (between 100 and 120 pesos in total, a day). The biggest problem is the precariousness of latrines and public bathrooms, in those that there is always line. Of the first ones there is several in the surroundings, as business (5 pesos) or in restaurants, although the government of the capital installed some portable ones in the corner of Moneda Street. Of the seconds, the services of more traffic are the Marbella bathrooms near the headquarters of the section 9, in Belisario Dominguez, where they charge 45 pesos. There are families that they lend them their particular bathrooms (20-30 pesos) and they serve those breakfasts and foods. "The life of the striker begins at 6 in the morning and it finishes passing the midnight; to the awakening the first thing is to go to the bathroom and to be cleaned", Charly shares under a roof of plastic tied to the east grill of the Metropolitan Cathedral, at the 22 hours of a rainy night. In the whole day, he adds, each techer spends about 150 pesos on the average that each who it puts of their pocket. He remembers that the Oaxaca’s governor Gabino Cue has said that its payments, retained, will be liberated “when they return". But other teacher put out the face of among the spreads and it clarifies: "If in 2006 we tolerate six months without getting paid, now also we can make it." Although the legislators scream and they demand bills to the government like the teachers in strike they take out the money to stay in the great Constitution Square. The union teacher's reasons The government's messages are taken partly out of a factory of lies and others are paradoxical, poured in an environment of closed doors and deaf hearings in which the true impunity benefits the murderers of dozens of people's thousands, and we can mention that which the number of the deaths is happened in the context of the strategy of security implanted by Felipe Calderon and What´s that, in so far in the current federal administration, it has not varied in significant form, to those who plunder the national arks by means of illegal "commissions" and to who, from the political or managerial power, they twist daily, in its profit, the letter and the spirit of the laws. With all him before mentioned we paint a picture of violence, impunity and injustice that it pushes the demonstrators to leave the streets and highways of the country it is not a desire to harm the citizens of the capital, but the impossibility of achieving, in the channel of the institutions, justice, security, legitimate representation and other demands; to say the less ones that one manifests by means of marches, blockades, stoppage and other mobilizations it is the alarming institutional collapse in course in the country in all the environments.
