APPO

I promise i´ll write more explaining the whole protesting situation here very soon. Sunday perhaps, but for those very curious, or very bored this weekend, not enjoying the rolling stones festivities in halifax, below is a Link to the APPO´s official page. I havent looked at it yet myself, but it says it has videos and should explain who they are.
generally the APPO is the Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca. Essentially they are a big organization of all the groups of people from Oaxaca state that are against the Govenor of the state, Ulises. The groups included in the organization are the state teachers that started all of this, the Communist party of Mexico, and other groups that think the govenor is corrupt. I cant say i disagree with them through all the stories i´ve heard, and just then general feel of the population including my house family. But this isn´t necessarily the best way to go about it, especially since all the other governors of mexico have pledged their support of Ulises.
I warn you they´re a bit radical sounding with a lot of propaganda that makes you take notice. But i reassure you, we are safe and careful while we´re here! Its actually a really well made website just goes to show, never underestimate anyone! Check it out and i´ll write more explaining it in english as i understand it, and more of what reactions i here from locals and my ProMéxico staff!!!
