Zapatista leader Marcos breaks silence
Marcos wrote that some Zapatista sympathizers "are carrying out autonomy and resistance ... against us," in a letter that was published Monday by the newspaper La Jornada, and reportedly delivered by Zapatista representative Fernando Yanez.
He also referred to "the disorganized rebellions we are suffering in the EZLN," the formal name of the movement that rose up in the southern state of Chiapas to demand greater Indian rights.
In a somewhat more bitter tone than his past statements, Marcos which insulted all of Mexico's main political parties, left and right.
"The federal government and the Chiapas government say 'the Zapatistas are finished,' when the only thing that's running out for the Zapatistas is their patience."
