translated from Spanish: “I will not fall into provocations”

Mexico City-after members of the Zapatista Army of national liberation (EZLN) call him “crafty” and “crazy” during the commemoration ceremony for the 25th anniversary of the start of the “forgotten war”, the President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) told media that he would not “fall into provocations”. “They are in their right to demonstrate,” said Lopez Obrador to be questioned by journalists about the statements released by the EZLN.
In his speech of December 31, subcomandante insurgente Moises launched squarely against Tabasco politician and its programme of Government, especially against the Maya railway. Starting with the name of the mega infrastructure project proposed by Lopez Obrador, zapatista subcomandante lamented that the Tabasco politician has used the name of the ancient civilization. “What we don’t accept, to put the name of your MOM”, he said.
Without referring to the President of Mexico by name, but “that which is in power”, the subcomandante Moses declared ready to face the National Guard of Lopez Obrador and opposed to what he called a “destruction project”. Member of the EZLN called “crazy” and brainless”AMLO by proposed rule for rich and poor. In the words of subcomandante that is impossible, because you have to take one side or the other without any possibility of conciliation, i.e., there is no choice but to lean by the exploited or by the equipment operator.
In its first year’s morning Conference, Lopez Obrador was confined to comment that it does not have any conflict with subcomandante Marcos or any other leader of social movements. “I express my respect to his plans, programs, its decisions, we live in a free country, there is no repression nor is there censorship who qualifies? The citizen”, said.
If AMLO well reiterated its commitment to guarantee the right to the free expression of ideas, not clarified as his Government in case of the EZLN is displayed to prevent the construction of the Maya train in the State of Chiapas will: “we will not deal with any group We want peace and reconciliation; There may be differences, but that does not mean that it will fall into a confrontation or a lawsuit.”
