The towns and organizations who we integrated reunited the social and popular movement of Rescuing mesoamericano resistance in San, the 19 Salvador del al 21 of 2004 July, in the V Mesoamericano Forum, we ratified our conviction and commitment continue fighting in all the region by the defense of the rights of our towns. For that reason it is our will to advance in the construction of the popular power like condition to guarantee the self-determination of the towns of the region.
During these three days of debates in different tables from discussion we have stated the iron popular opposition that grows as opposed to in all Mesoamérica the neoliberal policies and their instruments the ALCA, the TLC, the PPP and the agreements of the OMC --, These policies have generated devastating impacts on the natural towns and resources of the region, supeditando our lives to the logic of the gain and the interests of the transnational companies.
