College students still resist the Ecatepec municipal government headed by Dr. Eruviel Avila Villegas, we refuse to accept the demise of the City University of Ecatepec de Morelos we are part, for the simple fact that there is an agreement signed and endorsed by a council which which was held last April 2009 which states the creation of our university.
The autoridade s municipal have blatantly violated Art. 3 º. Of the Mexican Constitution, the General Law of Education, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights to which Mexico is party, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the American Declaration of Human Rights, and has caused moral damage to more than 750 because college students were invited and accepted first in the university and then through various strategies have been evicted and we have violated these rights. We acknowledge the municipal government of such legal violations and demand compensation for damages.
Importantly that the mayor has denied us the right to free education and the use of a space intended for the institution, has violated academic life through repression, disruption of the student population, threats and false promises of dialogue.
Since the beginning of the new municipal government Ecatepec , the current president has created a series of strategies to disappear our university, as was the purchase of consciences, offer scholarships for a total of $ 600.00 for students to go to private schools, the preparatory courses and offering promises of incorporation and other autonomous universities that does not guarantee the right to education by the municipal government, rather it was a way to take them out of school all this paid for by our taxes which amount could have been used for the key conclusion of the Revo. Another of the acts denounced the harassment by the municipal police presence, calls threatening to students and parents at various times of day and night, the alleged imposition of municipal authorities to act as office manager of our institution. All these outrages we have since last August and to date.
In defense of the above the student community has brought several legal remedies that protect us to continue our university, all this in order to be respected as an educational institution, with the right and keep your registration and use of space. We also know that education needs in the municipality is dormant for more than 32 000 citizens completed high school living in Ecatepec have not found a place to continue their studies at the undergraduate level to enable them to have the possibility of a better life.
denounce to the community and national and international media, the International Labour Organization, UNESCO, Inter-American Commission Human Rights Non-governmental Organizations for Human Rights, the repressive, arbitrary and authoritarian threats which we have fallen victim to defend our right, by the government of Dr. Eruviel Avila Villegas closing the facilities through municipal armed force on 7 January, we responsible for the moral and psychological damage to students and the community at large, the receipt of the documents delivered as students in our entry to the institution which have been removed and sent a Public Library where there is no security and which is not the place where we signed up and that if any of the documents ever loses will be responsible to those who have given and executed the order.
who resisted in defense of our university will not give up, they are more our desire to study than the fear of repression to face us, for as José Martí said: " a cultured people is a free people."
