go to original April 11, 2013

CUERNAVACA, Morelos - Javier Sicilia warned of the possibility of generating a new social revolution in Mexico if the federal government does not listen to the conflicts in the teacher ranks and community police.

The poet said that the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity was the last peaceful movement in the country, and that he anticipated this during the caravan in Veracruz.

While attending the announcement of the "Don Sergio Méndez Arceo" human rights prize, Sicilia said it is a mistake that the federal government does not listen to what is happening in the country.

"We said that this was the last peaceful movement that this country was going to have. And they accused us, saying that we were going to radicalize. It was not so. They did not understand us, they would force the radicalization," said the activist.
