On Sunday March 11, the Zapatista Caravan arrived in the capital, greeted and cheered by an impressive crowd of more than 200.000 people awaiting them in the central square of Mexico City. For two weeks, 24 commanders of the EZLN and hundreds of supporters had been travelling through several Southern Mexican states, staging rallies to mobilise civil society. The EZLN commanders are now refusing to leave Mexico City until all Zapatista prisoners are released, Mexican troops withdrawn from the state of Chiapas and a bill guaranteeing the political and cultural rights of the 10 million indigenous Mexicans is passed.
