The
revolutionary mass movement that has been brought into being in Mexico by the
electoral fraud perpetrated in the Presidential elections has reached a point
where clearly the power is there for the taking. If there were a genuine
revolutionary party at the head of the masses we would be on the eve of
socialist revolution.
In spite of the revolutionary movement of the Mexican
masses, the ruling class has decided to go ahead with its manoeuvres to impose
its man on the Mexican workers and peasants. The masses cannot tolerate another
period of right-wing government. They must prepare for power.
The
struggle in Mexico against electoral fraud is developing into a revolutionary
situation and its most advanced point is in the state of Oaxaca. The Marxist
Tendency "Militante", part of the International Marxist Tendency, has
been involved in these struggles from the very beginning and is now one of a
number of organisations being targeted for repression by the state. Urgent
international solidarity is needed.
