I dunno this particular incident but much of the Zapatista (lots of diverse local groups) action takes on the ongoing racism, social and economic injustice faced by indigenous groups. Most of the rich ag land/ resources of Chiapas are owned by far fewer rico Ladino landlords- A great gulf between rich and working poor who struggle to afford corn for a tortilla, let alone cars. a labor issue, Not condoning it, but I have seen the 70 year old guys toting 80+ lbs of someone elses produce, strapped to their head and back, up mountains barefoot, as the town's one overpacked bus wizzes by.
