Altamirano, Mexico, Apr 26 (EFE).- Seven members of Mexico’s Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) set off Monday on a trip to Europe, where they will press their demands for social justice and greater autonomy from the federal government.
The delegation bid farewell to indigenous communities near the Jatate, Tzaconeja and Colorado rivers in the mountains of the southeastern Mexican state of Chiapas and are now en route to the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo.
On May 3, they will depart from Isla Mujeres on a trans-Atlantic journey aboard the ship La Montaña to an as-yet unconfirmed port in Spain.
