Sasha Hartzell | El gato montés diarioA la espera decomenzar la marcha, los estudiantes de la UNAM seturnaron para cantar en la Ciudad de México el martes 2de octubre, en una manifestación en memoria delmovimiento estudiantil de 1968 en el que más de cienparticipantes fueron asesinados en la misma área 50 añosantes. El equipo de limpieza de calles de la ciudad miró,esperando que pasaran los manifestantes.
Esta semana, la Universidad de Arizona está recordando el
histórico levantamiento estudiantil en la Ciudad de México,
en honor a su 50 aniversario. Profesores locales y de la
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, la universidad
más grande de América Latina, están colaborando para
conmemorar a los estudiantes mexicanos de 1968 que
lucharon por un sistema educativo más democrático y
mantener la universidad prácticamente libre de matrícula.
Aunque cientos de personas murieron en la masacre de
Tlatelolco el 2 de octubre, los estudiantes triunfaron y hoy la
matrícula sigue siendo de un mínimo de 25 centavos por
estudiante.
Mientras tanto, en la Ciudad de México, los estudiantes están
recordando el movimiento del '68 de manera diferente.
Apenas unas semanas antes del 50 aniversario, los
estudiantes que protestan pací�camente en la UNAM somos
atacados por una pandilla de choque, parte de la red
conocida localmente como porros ; Ahora, una vez más, los
estudiantes se están movilizando.

Vestidos de rojo, miembros de El Frente Popular Fransisco
Villa , el Frente Popular de Fransisco Villa , participaron en
la marcha por el 50 aniversario de la masacre de Tlatelolco
en el movimiento estudiantil de 1968. La organización
marxista llevaba pancartas que decían: "No olviden el 2 de
octubre, es la lucha combativa".
“Porros are, among other things, groups of aggressors,
golpeadores, who are paid by UNAM’s authorities or even
sometimes by the same Mexican government, PRI. It’s sort of
cataloged as a paramilitary group,” said Felix Roberto Lopez
Roldán, a Philosophy student at UNAM.
Paramilitaries have been totally discredited in the country,
however, according to Dr. William Beezley from the UA
History Department. “No one in Mexico can rely on
paramilitary again. But using porros is a way to get around it.”
In general, porros are technically students- it is less obvious
they work for outside interests, sparking less public outrage.
In a recorded special message, UNAM Director Enrique Graue
said the attack was staged by people “who represent outside
outside interests that evidently want to destabilize the
university,” though he failed to specify who.
In the Sept. 3rd attack, cellphone footage captured UNAM
security standing by, refusing to protect the protesters. One
guard was recorded saying they had orders from above not
to intervene. “For two hours porros attacked and UNAM’s
security didn’t do anything — they were there and didn’t do
anything,” said Camila Zuleta, a highschool student from the
protest.
Fourteen students were injured and two hospitalized. “They
got stabbed and one girl got hit in the head with a pipe. One
of them even got a piece of his ear ripped o�,” said Roldán.

On Tuesday, Oct. 2, a group of UNAM students in
Tlatelolco, Mexico City paste a print commemorating those
killed in the 1968 student movement before joining in a
city wide march. Students covered the walls of Tlatelolco
buildings with messages about the 1968 movement, the 43
Ayotzinapa students who were disappeared in 2014, and
the porro attack at UNAM in September.
These gangs of porros have historically been utilized to
repress students in Mexico. “50-60 years ago it was some
students and young people working for the government
speci�cally to try to control other students,” said Dr. Eugenia
Allier, a UNAM professor who spoke at the UA last Thursday.
“Now they try to control students but it doesn’t work
anymore, you cannot control half a million students, not in
the same way as in 68.
Dr. Allier says now porros are only able to provoke- which is
exactly what they did this September. Their attack provoked
tens of thousands of students to take the streets in a new
student movement, almost exactly 50 years after the last
mass mobilization.
UNAM students and supporting faculty went on strike, closing
most of the faculties in the main campus. On Sept. 5th,
thousands of students rallied, turning the nearby metro
stations and main campus into a sea of chanting bodies.
Again they mobilized on Sept 13th, marching miles through
the streets of Mexico City to the Zocalo, the city’s center.
UNAM faculty and employees, community members, and
participants from the 1968 student movement walked
alongside current students in solidarity.
“The education model in México is very authoritarian and
conservative. The student movement makes this structure
shake,” said Dr. Hugo Luis Sánchez Gudiño, a UNAM
professor of Political and Social Sciences.

On Tuesday, Oct. 2, students in Mexico City marched from
the sight of the historic Tlatelolco Massacre, where over
100 participants of the 1968 student movement were

killed, to the city center. The students organized
themselves by college, gathering under banners and
wearing matching bracelets to identify each other.
Through assemblies, UNAM students from all faculties have
collaborated to draft a petition of seven demands:
punishment for both the puppets and puppeteers who were
responsible for the Sept. 3rd attacks, increased
democratization of the university with more student, faculty
and worker control and participation, increased funding for
schools and students, increased security- particularly for
women, the eradication of porros, the removal of University
Director Graue and of the university’s head of security, and
the continuation of free tuition.
“The problem is the director, who is the highest authority in
UNAM, is chosen by the government council, formed by
people who are from the government- these last years from
the PRI- so that has something to do with everything that’s
passed at the school,” said UNAM biology student Vanessa
Peláez, marching in the demonstration on the 13th. The
students are demanding a system overhaul, making the
director’s election a democratic process within the school
itself.
These issues have been simmering for a long time but the
thing that made everything explode, made everyone take to
the streets, was the attack of the porros, said Alejandra Lopez
Lejano, a UNAM philosophy graduate, “The movement is not
just from UNAM but has extended to all the public education
in the country, even private universities are participating in
topics that involve education and security.”

media and militarization
Yet this budding, country-wide movement has been largely
absent from US and international mainstream media. Dr.
Hugo suggests the imminent historical change of political
power in México could be responsible.
“Today, everyone wants to be well with the President-Elect,
because they have kept silent on the subject,” said Dr. Hugo.
“Having dealt with the issue would have generated
discomfort with the AMLO team.” This December, PRI, the
political party who held o�ce for 77 of the past 89 years, will
make way for the new leftist president-elect, Andrés Manuel
López Obrador (AMLO).
La UA, que estableció una colaboración formal con la UNAM
en 2015, está más cerca de los eventos en México que la
mayoría. "Es importante que los estudiantes de la UA y otras
personas vean cómo los estudiantes pueden involucrarse en
la política y cambiar o intentar cambiar su sociedad", dijo el
Dr. Beezley, quien habló el martes pasado en el Programa
Especial de la UA, México-1968 . Dijo que los estudiantes y los
maestros de ambos lados deberían adoptar la actitud, "esta
es la oportunidad de aprender realmente de otra persona", y
luego hacerlo.
