KKE: Hands Off the Communist Party of Mexico and the Front of Communist Youth!

On October 2, Mexican police violently attacked members of the Communist Party of Mexico (PCM) and the Front of Communist Youth (FJC) as they were heading to a demonstration commemorating the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre. Eight communists were arrested and several were injured in the police assault.

In a statement, the International Relations Section of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) notes:

 

Mexico's Communist Youth marks 12 years since the state crime against the Ayotzinapa students

On 26 September 2026, Mexico marked the 12th anniversary of the disappearance of 43 students from the Raúl Isidro Burgos Rural Teachers’ College of Ayotzinapa, following the attacks of 26–27 September 2014 in Iguala, Guerrero. 

Twelve years and three successive federal administrations later, the fate of the students has still not been fully established; remains belonging to only three of the 43 have been identified. Thousands again marched in Mexico City on the anniversary, led by the students’ parents and accompanied by students from other rural teachers’ colleges, demanding truth and justice.
