The land belongs to those who work it!

Inhabitants of Cruxton, in the municipality of Venustiano Carranza, Chiapas, have denounced a continuing attempt by the Chiapas state to rob them of their land. 70 police invaded the land on 18 June, threatening the local people. The police were accompanied by civilians, to whom it appears the state wishes to give the land. It is also reported that a subsidiary of the Canadian mining company Frontier Development Group has been granted concessions for part of the land.

The inhabitants of Cruxton, adherents to the Other Campaign, have appealed for solidarity to reinforce their struggle for their land.
