In March 2001, the march from Chiapas part of the Color of the Earth that will lead a delegation to the EZLN in Mexico City. The stages of the caravan through all of Mexico to bring up the question of recognition of the autonomy of Parliament. The image of
thousands of bases of support along the road to San Cristobal de Las Casas in the mist of dawn to greet the bus with the commanders in the capital to start with all of us "international" I think it is something that is not easily forget. Greetings behind which there was a collective bet: get in the game to talk to many, from their communities, from their own experience to deal with other worlds and other realities. To provide its strength around and beyond it because we could build something bigger, something common.

And that's what today still continue to do and to explore the belief that none of us is self-sufficient, that none of our stories alone builds the pick of the change but only the power of finding a new town to be resistance and opposition and simultaneously building an alternative, can give rise to different world that we must build. The march
it spoke to us about the need to address the challenges, let go of our strongholds and security to meet new hand with the aspiration to build with thousands of men and women, a different future in Europe 'which looks to the Mediterranean Sea .
