Revolución Zapatista

The Zapatista Revolution began in 1994 in Chiapas, Mexico, led by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN). It was a response to economic reforms favoring multinational corporations and the marginalization of indigenous communities. The movement seeks social justice, indigenous rights, local autonomy, and land reform. It employs nonviolent resistance, direct action, and community organization, inspiring global debates on neoliberalism and indigenous sovereignty. While not a traditional armed uprising, it symbolizes defiance against exploitation and highlights the importance of respecting indigenous cultures and self-governance within Mexico’s political landscape.
