Abstract

A friend of ours who works in this municipality had told us that at a guerrilla assembly a vote was taken to decide if our association should be considered a military objective, and they had called a meeting to speak to us. A friend and I went to the meeting place, which was a school. I thought that from there we would go somewhere else, but no. The commander came there, with her face covered by a balaclava. She explained that we were their enemies because by promoting participation, we were deceiving the people, giving them the illusion that they could win their rights that way. By promoting participation we were the pretty, illusory part of the State which they were destroying. We were damaging the guerrilla movement, so we were their enemies.
