San Andrés Accords
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The San Andrés Accords are an agreement reached between the Zapatista Army of National Liberation and the Mexican government, at that time headed by President Ernesto Zedillo. The accords were signed on February 16, 1996, and granted autonomy and special rights to the indigenous population of Mexico. President Zedillo and the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) however, ignored the agreements and instead increased military presence in the region.
