Subcomandante Marcos, leader of the Zapatista National Liberation
Army, told a news conference in a jungle clearing that the rebel army
now ``considers itself free of its commitment to stick to the
cease-fire.''
Marcos said the government had broken the cease-fire by insisting that
governor-elect Eduardo Robledo of the Institutional Revolutionary
Party (PRI) take office tomorrow despite opposition claims of fraud in
the state elections in August.
He rejected President Ernesto Zedillo's offer of secret negotiations
to end the conflict that erupted January 1, saying that Robledo's
resignation and his replacement by defeated gubernatorial candidate
Amado Avendano were preconditions for talks.
