'Reforestation' is the pretext used by the authorities to perform the operation against the EZLN support bases.
Hermann Bellinghausen, La Jornada Sunday 31 January 2010, p. 7, originally published in Spanish.
San Cristobal de las Casas, Jan 30. The Good Government Council (JBG) 'the
way ahead' (el camino del futuro), based in the Caracol of La Garrucha, on
Friday denounced the eviction and destruction of the indigenous community
of Laguna San Pedro, in the autonomous municipality of Ricardo Flores
Magon, which took place on 22nd January. The government's explicit
intention is to "reforest" the area and establish private ecotourism
centres in the Montes Azules, within the area of the biosphere reserve.
