Freedom Socialist: Is workers’ power on the agenda in southern Mexico?
Over a million people filled the streets of Oaxaca city on Nov. 5 in the sixth “Mega March” against the brutal government repression of 70,000 teachers on strike statewide and their supporters. In response to an uprising that began to build in May, police have detained over 100 people and killed more than 20, including at least two children.
The demonstrators — women and men, students and the elderly — chanted for the immediate resignation of Oaxaca state governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz and a complete withdrawal of 3,400 federal police deployed by Mexican president Vicente Fox in late October.
