NORMAL FIRST BILLBOARD MAY 1983. CHRONICLE OF THE PEOPLE'S COURT.
THE TEACHERS AND THE GHOST OF Fuenteovejuna
JOSEPH T. OLIVAS CARDOZO
On May 1983, teachers, workers and teachers, students of the Escuela Normal Superior de Mexico, attended the meeting on time of day and party control of the Working Class. Participate in the number of our union, the SNTE. Adding strength to the Democratic contingent of section 11 composed of workers of Fine Arts, INAH, IPN, UPN, Radio Education. Would agree with preschool teachers, primary and secondary sections 9, 10 and 36 DF Mexico Valley. Would be contingent CNTE.
The National Executive Committee of the SNTE, applying the classical repressive policies of the governments of the PRI, since mid-March had been training in the CETis "Rafael where" a large group of people composed of shock brought from Guerrero, Baja California, Michoacán , Veracruz and Jalisco, which were added education teachers physical and DF techniques. Far
teachers were to imagine that we would be assaulted by rappers and gunmen under the command of Luis Moreno Bustamante, a member of the CEN of the SNTE and the then leader lapdog "moral" of the SNTE, Carlos Jonguitud Barrios and his disciple Elba Esther Gordillo Morales, then financial secretary of the CEN.
The call was to meet at 10 am at the intersection of Uruguay and Bolivar. Hence one would move by Uruguay until November 20, where we would take a left toward the base. Entering through November 20 we would return back to the left to pass in front of the Monte de Piedad, turning right to Cathedral and go under the presidential balcony and reclaim the PRI Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado, then president, all the outrages committed against the Mexican people. Would be used to draw the attention of other workers was necessary to fight, to overtake the leaders "charros" and come together as working class. Far
Jonguitud we think that Barrios had a surprise for us. Over 300 kickers "Revolutionary Vanguard" gangster group PRI concentrated in the parking lot that still exists at the intersection of the streets of Uruguay and Bolivar, who were hitting our approach. The rappers had chacos
long wire and kendo sticks. Women were hitting them in the legs with the thread of the clearings, and males were caught from behind and were hanged with the thread of the clearings. Several were beaten coward. Intended to intimidate the cowboys and swear they were told that they were at their best, "fucking" houses because if you saw them again, they would be "mother." However, they did not have the value of teacher-pupil of the ENSM, which angered by the attack on several of his colleagues who taught the bruises on her calves, were proposed to take legitimate revenge. They went slowly gathering up to be 500 or so and joined an attack launched surprise against the charros. The teacher-pupil
the ENSM soon saw their numbers increase with the arrival of more partners and members of the CNTE. Three crashes in which charros took the brunt to the forces of democracy were the beginning of a great street corretiza until November 20. Passing the junction
Uruguay and February 5, in the midst of corretiza, a master of the Valley of Mexico, started screaming, "the truck, the truck, there are the clubs." And indeed, parked on February 5, in the back of a truck with logo SNTE had more than a thousand sticks perfectly cut of approximately one meter long and turned on one end, like baseball bats. Never imagined the charros and Elba Esther Jong CNTE in their hands would stick with which it was intended to be beaten.
Within minutes, the supposedly weak CNTE contingent brought together more than five thousand workers, many fully armed and ready to face the hitters, who persecuted became persecutors.
army presence of several contingents of armed soldiers to stop the phenomenal influence corretiza. The cowboys took the opportunity to reorganize and increase their number up to about 500. The CNTE contingent was increasing with the passage of minutes. More than half hours spent with shouts, exhortations and threats on both sides. Los charros confident in the presence of police and soldiers did not expect the CNTE moving forward.
Quite a sight to see teachers, the humble bench teachers, who all love to treat children, the teachers admired the colonies, poor neighborhoods and villages. Furious, outraged by the conduct criminal, outraged and remain prepared to avoid the ridicule of the hosts of Jonguitud, chanting over and over again the cry of one, two, three, four ..., as a signal to advance. With great dignity and anger at the crime, the serene faces of the ENSM professors, of which we stood, waiting not to offend by omission Dr. Barroso, Armando Vazquez, Enrique Avila, Gersahin Lima, Jesus and Rigoberto López Nieto, Ramirez Blanco, José T Cardoza, José Luis Loa, Nestor Santos, Jesus Heras, Esnel, Chanes.
hard to forget the companions of the Valley of Mexico, José González Figueroa, Aguilar Germain, Palomino, Jose Altamirano, Ramón Cuoho, the teacher Cirila and newly released political disappeared, teacher-student of biology at the ENSM, Ezequiel Reyes Carrillo . Sections 10, 9 and 11 DF Carlos Ezequiel, Ernesto Alba, Rafael Torres, Jorge "The Raven", Cesar, Gloria Mosque, Rosario, Angel Tere, Tobon, Jorge, Emilio Mejia, Artemio, Cesar Ruvalcaba and many other colleagues who do not attend at this moment to memory.
was cool the murder of Misael Núñez Acosta, Misael Palma, kidnapping and subsequent presentation of Ezequiel Reyes Carrillo, low wages, and especially the austerity policy of Miguel de la Madrid and the attacks on public education Reyes Heroles The decentralization of education and the agreement 101. Hovered in the midst of all, the ghost of justice, justice Fuenteovejuna. It was nearly midnight, long half hour had passed out. Half an hour of foreplay continued, until finally it was time for justice, the time of righting wrongs. Shone in the face of "check" Ezequiel Reyes Carrillo, the desire to collect the torture he suffered in the military field number 1 by the government and "cowboys." Ernesto
Alba and Ezekiel gave the signal. With them two in front forward. There were many grievances, there were many insults and humble awareness of teachers was clear the final idea. Had to reach the socket. Little by little the cries of 1, 2, 3 ... were replaced by "base, base ...." More than 5 000 militants CNTE unstoppable move toward the base. Nothing and no one would be able to stop the angry mass, the mass in pursuit of justice, looking out of the prison that once again the cowboys had been woven with a systematic siege. Said socket and socket fury ultimate goal was the goal achieved.
had broken the fence "charro", had been defeated in the street rappers. Many charros were hit with the fury of an employee who exercises the classic Fuenteovejuna justice. The photos accompanying this description better than thousands of words.
Upon arrival at the base, the "charros" Labour Congress mobilized kickers IMSS union, which he charged the teacher with motorcycles. It worked again Fuenteovejuna justice, and shovels were rejected. A final effort "charro" with rappers who rammed railroad locomotives decorated truck, suffered the same fate as the cowboys of the SNTE and the IMSS. Freedom was the way the presidential balcony. Lining
repressive apparatus, we in the presidential balcony. Six bands of war and sought to silence the sound of popular protest. But a people ready for anything ever be silenced. Over 20 minutes the show lost the discipline, more than 20 minutes had to endure Miguel de la Madrid the just demands of the working class. And pay raises for union democracy, not repression, curb corruption, were repeated chants again and again by the humble workers and teachers who gave the president himself a lesson in honesty and civility.
Tired at last move forward and leave the socket Pino Suarez. Was 1 May 1983. Would repeat the feat in 1985, and thereafter ended the parade of "sheep" that had become the first of May. Today with the PAN candidate Felipe Calderón shamelessly seeks refuge in Rome with the Pope, as a new way to make us forget the failure of his promises to "live better" and "jobs president."
let go of all this a simple lesson: Times have changed, changed the party in government, but have not changed the inefficiency of the authorities. The poor organization of the SEP continues to affect millions of students, and the government is more concerned with controlling the thinking and actions of teachers, encouraging individualism rather than improving education. But like then incubated the courage, the discomfort grows and eventually, become like tsunami Fuenteovejuna justice. Today, more conscious, more organized and more permanent.
