WikiLeaks: los campamentos de Reforma del 2006

Contrario a lo que las empresas de medios y propaganda de la oligarquía intentaron imponer como historia de lo que en los campamentos sucedió (caos y violencia), los "ojos que todo lo ven" de la embajada estadounidense reportaron así —cable 06MEXICO4292_a— lo que en los campamentos de Reforma sucedió:

1.- "Overall, the environment in the Zocalo and on the blockaded streets was very much like that of a block party, with live music, street vendors selling food, and even chess tournaments taking place under tents. Supporters emphasized that the protests would remain peaceful, but indicated that more forms of civil resistance might be forthcoming."

2.- "The general atmosphere of both the Zocalo and the blockaded streets seemed to be rather festive. Vendors selling food, jewelry, and clothing, among other goods, were common. Most demonstrators seemed to be enjoying themselves. One tent near the Palacio de Bellas Artes even had a chess tournament under way."

3.- "An older woman from the state of Guerrero said she came to the Zocalo out of anger about alleged vote-buying in her local town, claiming the PAN was paying 300 pesos per vote. At the Tabasco camp, a young man commented that the Tabasco group's 100 participants planned to stay until the decision of the Tribunal. In the event the court does not rule in their favor, they would wait for instructions from AMLO."

4.- "Poloffs made a follow up visit on August 2 to reassess the situation in the Zocalo. Compared to two days prior, the permanent encampment had become somewhat more organized, with many more tents spread across the plaza. The crowd appeared about the same in number, if not smaller, as more tents had taken up space along the main plaza. As on Paseo de la Reforma, many tents appeared to be sparsely populated. The overall atmosphere was still festive, with music playing and street vendors selling their goods to the plaza's new tenants."
