After months of protest, which culminated with the blocking of a highly transverse freeway, the fox government has declared that the Texcoco airport plan will be canceled and the farmers can keep their communal lands! The media called these "negotiations" but the farmers said their land was never up for sale. The farmers celebrated, and will continue to celebrate till Wednesday. Their machetes will no longer be used as weapons, but to work their land which has nurtured the farmers for generations. A great victory for the people!
