Molotov Cocktail Attacks In Mexico

Communique:
"During the week of Tuesday the 25th to Friday the 28th of November, the following sabotages took place:

- Half a dozen Molotov cocktails were thrown at installations of the tren férreo (metro rail) in Mexico City, causing damage to roads, electricity poles and walls of facilities.

- Incendiary sabotage against a 'control box of telephone lines,' property of Telmex; the box exploded and hundreds of lines were left unusable, 7 public telephones also owned by Telmex were sabotaged leaving them unusable, 1 public phone burned.

- In the early hours of the last day, a 'Banamex' bank was sabotaged, leaving the ATM unusable, thanks to the abolitionist fire of a Molotov.

We claim these actions as a form of 'protest' against the construction of a new rail line (line 12), in Mexico City (D.F.) and Mexico State; already because of its construction many trees were cut down, entire families evicted and land expropriated with large hectares of green areas subsequently deforested.

At the same time we claim these acts in 'solidarity' with the anarchist prisoners in France who were held after investigations into the sabotage of high-speed train lines. [mainstream media report]

Our slogan has changed, we do not like conformism, now we say: 'if they touch one... all respond.'

Revolutionary solidarity is manifested in the streets, attacking in a direct way those responsible for the imprisonment of our comrades, for the destruction of the planet and of the killing of animals.

Revolutionary solidarity is manifested in the form of rage and action.

How beautiful it is to see revenge of the exploited and the oppressors squeezed!
How beautiful is the fire that frees!
How beautiful is the abolitionist fire of the anti-authoritarians!

No to metro line 12!
Stop the deforestation and the displacement of entire families!
For every eviction or abuse of power... fire in the streets!

We claim these actions as:

Eco-anarchist cell for direct attack....

Mexico... November 28, 2008

We are not the vanguard... it is only strategy!"
