| | Resume protests in Oaxaca
 On the contrary of what says the oficial speech of the Governor Ulises Ruiz and despite all efforts of the state powers to restaure the "social peace" atmosphere, everything indicates that the presumed "normality" was more an aspect of governmental superstition than reality in the streets of Oaxaca. Yesterday, Wednesday, 10/01, around 10 thousand persons among professors, students, housewives, workers and native, went to the streets of the capital's center, starting from the Fuentes Siete Regiones up to Plaza de la Danza, resuming the journey of fights of the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca, that was interrupted provisionally. Even with the presence of repressive forces, the march passed by peacefuly and once again showed the plurality of the actors and supports involved within the movement. Was expressive the number of women, childrens and elderly, not all of them representatives of the collective of professors of the section XXII of the National Union of the Workers in Education (SNTE) and his relative, that shouted words endorsing to resignation of Ulises as a condition of dialogue with the government and requiring the liberation of the political prisoners, besides the judgment and punishment of the crimes and atrocities commited by the police force against detained protesters. Two days ago, the Mexican newspaper La Jornada revealed that 15 of the political prisoners recently liberated were sexually violated by the polices. The repressive atmosphere was, an outstanding component of the march of yesterday. Eventhough the zocalo (historical center) continues occupied by the security forces, was expressive the presence of militares and polices in the area of the concentration (see the pictures). Some militaries photographed and videotaped the protesters, in an explicit attempt of identification of leaderships of the APPO. Along in the march, the protesters redid the graffiti that had been roughly covered by the government with white and orange ink in the last days. It is curious to observe how the attempt of the government to erase the demands of the protesters inscribed in the walls as marks of the seven months of battle evidences the modus operadis of the oligarchies in Oaxaca for deal with the social conflicts, privileging a kind of solution at the same brutally repressive and truelly inept.
