Chilpancingo, Gro., The Coordinator of the Human Rights Center of the Tlachinollan Mountain, Abel Barrera Hernández, by participating in the forum the fight for the autonomy of the indigenous and Afromestizos peoples of Guerrero, which took place in the town of La Cortina, of the new municipality Ñu Savi (formerly Ayutla de los Libres), made a call to the Supreme Court of the Nation (SCJN) to what understand what the matrix that guides indigenous peoples, which does not necessarily have to be governed from this Western individualist model of justice.

Why is there no justice? He questioned: Because the SCJN was of pure family, of pure powerful people who took over the plots of the Judiciary: When was an indigenous being a judge, minister or magistrate? To date we are not aware that there is a minister belonging to an indigenous people, who speaks their language, who feels here with people, to come to the communities; We have never seen it; How will the justice of the peoples understand? How will people be listening to people if they are never close to peoples?

We need a SCJN that is close to the peoples, that knows the life of the communities. As Crac-PC we went several times to the SCJN to challenge the regressive law that wanted to break down the community police in the government of (Héctor Astudillo), but all the governors have been againsthe said.

Before, during his speech in the forum, he said that it is a historical moment for the indigenous peoples of Mexico and Guerrero, and recalled that from this place, the curtain, Manuel Ponce Rosas and Raúl Lucía, community defenders “murdered by the mayor of that time and the group of crime that began to form in Ayutla de los Libres, in February 2009, in February 2009, in February 2009. Support for communities.

We cannot forget them, Ayu-Tla is the warrior lineage, and now municipality ñú Savi (which is governed by uses and customs). The peoples have risen. It has been proven that mayors governed by political parties subject to class or group interests to ignore the claim of justice and equality. Here is a bastion of resistance, where the peoples raised the weapons because there is no justice, so it has fought so muchhe said.

Uses and customs

“That is why it is a community territory, where its justice and security system was built based on the uses and customs. Since those times there were community police, commissioners and commanders (of the CRAC-PC) detained, and the colleagues have confronted public ministries; they have stopped them because they do not understand that indigenous peoples have their own systems to be governed.

They have always pretended to pay justice, that the rich is given the truth and that the poor is punished for being poor; That is why it is important to break the control of institutionshe stressed.

The event was present Hugo Aguilar, who aspires to hold the position of Minister in the Supreme Court.
