Indigenous and Zapatista communities settled and visiting Spain organized a first meeting in Madrid called “They Didn't Conquer Us” 500 years after the fall of Tenochtitlan. Since August 11, conferences, talks, workshops and concerts have been held under the slogan "We will not give up" to commemorate "500 years of resistance and rebellion." For this day a march was scheduled from Puerta del Sol to Plaza de Colón under the aforementioned slogans: “They didn't win us! We will not give up! " to denounce the "invasion" suffered by their ancestors. In addition to the activity “Planting a seed for life”, a global action for the 500 years since the beginning of indigenous resistance. the mobilization was organized by the Encuentro de Lucha por la Vida, which embraces fifty collectives from Madrid mobilized to receive the Zapatistas in Spain. This NGO, says the Spanish media, defines itself as transfeminist, anti-patriarchal, anti-racist, internationalist and anti-racist and pursues the defense of historical memory. The Zapatista delegation has been on a tour of several European countries and they point out the following: “We are making the trip that Christopher Columbus made to the Americas, but in reverse; it is a political and poetic message of reinvasion ”. On August 13, 1521, the Mexican capital was taken by the forces of Hernán Cortés, supported in the vast majority by other peoples who sought to rebel against the oppression of the great Aztec Empire.
