The spokeswoman and candidate for a coalition of indigenous groups, who will seek to run as an independent candidate for the presidency in Mexico’s 2018 elections, will not campaign to seek the vote, nor expect to sit in the “coveted chair” of political power ” of the ones “who are above the others”. She will open a debate about the war against the indigenous peoples of México, executed through mining and highway construction projects, and other big infrastructure development projects that are imposed by the government. Her word will express the position of the Concejo Indígena de Gobierno, composed of 71 community representatives, of 58 first peoples of the country, who decided to confront the industrial development model, which not only has forgotten and confined them, but who is now threatening them with their extermination and that of Mother Earth. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this broadcast of the Voz Pública program, from Mexico City.
