  • The Free Rebel Zapatista Municipalities (Spanish: Municipios Libres Rebeldes Zapatistas) commonly known as the Zapatista Municipalities are self-governing territories in the the far south of Mexico which are controlled by Zapatista support bases and majority Mayan communities. They were originally founded in 1994 after the Chiapas conflict and Zapatista insurrection, however were brutally crushed by the Mexico's Veracruzist government under Pablo Hidalgo de Veracruz in his attempts to destroy all opposition to his regime. In 2015, following Sierra's resolution to go war with Mexico, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) joined the fight to topple the Mexican regime, supporting opposition forces in the 2015 invasion of Mexico. The municipalities reorganised themselves as self-governing entities and changed their strategy from campaigning for indigenous autonomy, towards a plan to push for full independence from Mexico in light of the conflict according to a series of communiqués from Subcomandante Javier in June 2015. The Rebel Municipalities consist of 27 loosely associated self-governing communities, known as 'caracoles', which are governed through Good Government Council (Juntas de Buen Gobierno) which are open to everybody in the community and involve cooperative direct decision making. The councils have established their own set of laws and programs which are implemented in the communities. The decisions made by the councils are communicated to a central assembly by elected delegates from each council. The territories claim adherence to self-organised socialism, workers self-management, autonomous Marxism, and anarchism. The municipalities strongly associate and align themselves with wider anti-globalisation, indigenous rights and ecologist organisations. The Zapatista Municipalities are not governed by the EZLN, however are united behind, and rally behind the EZLN's main activist and spokesperson, Subcomandante Javier in the current conflict. The main export and economic acitvity of the communities is the cooperative farming of coffee, which is self-managed through the Zapatista coffee cooperatives, which provides economic support for the communities and the Zapatista cause.
