Download a video clip of the march<\/a> (50 seconds \/ 11.5 MB)<\/p>\n This is not to say that 100% of the people of Oaxaca City support the continuing protests, marches, and blockades. There are those who would rather see the PFP put an end to all of this by any means necessary. But the numbers were overwhelming, and from the fotos below you\u00b4ll see the diversity of the participants. After watching Sunday\u00b4s MegaMarch, it\u00b4s hard to say that there aren\u00b4t a huge number of Oaxacans prepared to take to the streets despite the occupation, that there\u00b4s a \u00b4small group\u00b4 of \u00b4radicals\u00b4 who control \u00b4one little street in Oaxaca City\u00b4 (to paraphrase ex-governor Ulises Ruiz). It was overwhelming. Not since marching through LA\u00b4s garment district at the 2000 DNC have I felt such obvious support from passersby and workers, from neighbors in windows, waving families and shopkeepers.<\/p>\n Other observations: I didn’t get the foto, but I did see a man who had left the march hand a video camera bag to a PFP agent, presumably after filming the march. A strange glider-shaped and almost silent airplane flew over the march relatively low–it has been circling the city since the ‘government’ announced it was suspending fly-overs by helicopters. The march entered the city center, greeted by PFP lines reinforced by crisscrossed razor wire, penning the troops in behind a dumpster, a burned bus, and other obstacles. The huge march was directed away from the central Z\u00f2calo by APPO organizers. In the interest of demonstrating overwhelming community support and non-violent resistance, marchers headed to the `new Z\u00f2calo,\u00b4 Plaza Santo Domingo.<\/p>\n Most of the fotos were taken early in the march just outside of Canal 9, the state-run TV station and media complex taken over August 1st by local women who were evicted from their blockade earlier this week by the PFP. I watched almost the entire march pass from the one spot, and I\u00b4d easily agree to a million or more marchers.<\/p>\n A video is attached as well, 50 seconds and low quality, showing the march from the Cathedral of Soledad.<\/p>\n http:\/\/elenemigocomun.net\/author\/danielsan<\/a><\/p>\n —<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/elenemigocomun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/vivalalucha_5-11-06.jpg?resize=449%2C600\" "\\"vivalalucha_5-11-06.jpg\\"")
