The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, EZLN) is an armed revolutionary group based in Chiapas, one of the poorest states of Mexico. Their social base is mostly indigenous but they have some supporters in urban areas as well as an international web of support. Their main spokesperson is Subcomandante Marcos. Unlike other Zapatista comandantes, subcomandante Marcos is not an indigenous Mayan. The group takes its name from Emiliano Zapata, the anarchist commander of the Liberation Army of the South during the mexican Revolution, whose forces were colloquially known as the Zapatistas. 1, record 1, English, - Zapatista%20Army%20of%20National%20Liberation

L'Armée zapatiste de libération nationale (en espagnol : Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, EZLN) est un groupe révolutionnaire basé au Chiapas, l'un des États dont les habitants sont parmi les plus pauvres du Mexique. L'EZLN affirme représenter les droits des populations indigènes dont les diverses ethnies représentent 40% de la population du Chiapas, et est aussi un symbole de la lutte antimondialiste. Le nom du groupe vient du révolutionnaire mexicain Emiliano Zapata. Ils se considèrent comme ses héritiers et les héritiers de cinq cent ans de résistance indigène à l'impérialisme. 1, record 1, French, - Arm%C3%A9e%20zapatiste%20de%20lib%C3%A9ration%20nationale

El Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) es una organización político-militar cuyo mando tiene por nombre Comité Clandestino Revolucionario Indígena-Comandancia General (CCRI-CG) del EZLN, derivado de su composición mayoritariamente indígena. Salió a la luz pública en el estado mexicano de Chiapas el 1 de enero de 1994 al tomar varias cabeceras municipales el mismo día que entraba en vigor el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte. La teoría y la praxis zapatistas lo colocan a la par de otros movimientos de la llamada posguerra fría, tales como el sin-tierra brasileño, el piquetero argentino, el cocalero boliviano, el okupa europeo, o el antiglobalización de sectores de las sociedades urbanas; [...] algunos autores [lo] identifican con una supuesta generación de movimientos de izquierda y anticapitalistas que no buscan, a diferencia de otros movimientos estadocentristas, la toma del poder estatal. 1, record 1, Spanish, - Ej%C3%A9rcito%20Zapatista%20de%20Liberaci%C3%B3n%20Nacional
