Eche: All Sectors of M
Must Provocations
by Pablo Silva
May $ (IPS) - Mexican President Luis
Echeverria yesterday called upon the
leaders of all sectors of the nation to
mobilize against Wall Street's
disruption of his government. As part of
his drive for a new world economic
order, Echeverria announced that he
will convoke it full plenary of military
commanders, governors, congressmen,
peasant and tr3le-union leaders,
university administrators, professors,
students, and the press to expose and
condemn the "criminal provocations"
now being perpetrated by the CIA
against his government.
At the same time. Rockefeller
lackeys in Congress directly targeted
the Mexican president who is the
leading Third World force for an in-
ternational debt moratorium, for CIA
overthrow. In a letter addressed to
President Ford yesterday, 30
Democratic and Republican
congressmen charged Echeverria '.vita
"imposii.g a communist regime in
Mexico... which will constitute a great
danger for tlr:_ United States." The
letter's co-signers include most of the
same congressmen who constitute
Rockefeller's "Lobby for Ther.
monuclear War" led by Larry ti lac.-
Donald (I)-Ga) . which has issued
witchhunt warnings of "KGP, in-
filtration" of Congress and the White
House.
The letter accuses Sec rotary of State.
Henry Kissinger of indifference "in the
face of the serious problem" posed by
Mexico's "heading toward socialism in
the style of Cuba and Chile." an obvious
signal that the CIA is now gunning for a
coup in 'Mexico to replace Echeverria
with a CIA gorilla like Chile's Pinochet.
In Mexico, Rockefeller's threats are
backed by a wave of terror carried out
by the CIA's zombies in the 23rd of
September League. In the - ast two
days the Liga has shot over a dozen
policemen, killing nine. Liga terrorist.

extending the climate of terror, the
confrontations with the CIA-controlled

Echeverria Governor Carrillo Marcor.
In an ad in the major national press two
days ago. the "Micas" accuse Carrillo
of backing the PC.M and call for his
ouster.
Closing Ranks
Echeverria issued his call at a special
meeting with reps -entatives from the
worker, peasant, and popular sectors of
the ruling ' PRI party, as well as
business repres(,-ntatives, organized to

an introduction that noted that "this;
highlights evidence that very in-
fluential circles in the U.S. are
unleashing an offensive against
Mexico." El Dia warns that "this
campaign, similar to those against...
President Allende in Chile" are "ac-
companied by subversive actions," and
directly links the letter to "the multiple
actions of cold-blooded violence and
agitation... in Mexico."
