Mega-March to Surround Federal Police in Oaxaca

Sat Nov 25 2006 The 7th Mega-March Will Attempt to Surround Federal Police for 48 Hours
November 25: The Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca has called for a seventh mega-march with the idea of encircling the federal police who have been stationed in the center square of Oaxaca City since November 2nd.

December 1st is the looming date on the horizon, when fraudulently-elected Felipe Calderon is supposed to become president of Mexico, and Oaxaca’s largely-deposed governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz would be eligible to appoint a new governor. With this in mind, the popular movement in Oaxaca has been gearing up for a final push in organizing and defending its autonomy.
