Vicente Fox scores victoi
on first day as preside
OAXACA, Mexico (AP) — On
his first full day as Mexico’s presi
dent, Vicente Fox scored a major po
litical victory Saturday, bringing to
the negotiating table a band of rebels
who had frustrated his predecessor
for six years.
As Fox toured Mexico in a victo
ry lap after defeating the party that
has ruled the country for 71 years,
word came from the southern jungle
that the elusive ski-masked leader of
the Zapatista rebels, Subcomandante
Marcos, would restart peace talks
with the government. The rebels had
walked away from the table four
years ago.
Immediately upon taking office.
Fox had made ending the seven-
year-old revolt for greater Indian
rights by the Zapatista rebels a prior
ity, sending an Indian rights bill to
Congress for approval and ordering
troops to withdraw from sensitive
spots in Chiapas.
“The Zapatistas have accepted di
alogue. There’s a new attitude, a new
way of thinking,” Fox said at a rally
Saturday night in the northern city of
Monterrey. “Let’s have dialogue.”
But amid the good news, there
were rumbles that all might not be so
rosy for Fox in the future.
About 10,000 teachers, laborers
and poor Indian farmers marched
down the tourist-filled, cobblestone
streets of Oaxaca Saturday afternoon
to demand justice and aid.
They were stopped by a police
line about a block from the plaza
where Fox spoke to a smaller crowd
to stress his commitment to Mexico’s
poor and Indians.
“I am always open to listen,” Fox

— Vicente Fox
President of Mexico
told protest leaders who were
brought into the plaza to meet him.
“There is no need for violent demon
strations or blocking streets,” he said,
though the protest appeared to be
peaceful.
Fox vowed to concentrate devel
opment efforts in Oaxaca and other
poor, heavily Indian states in Mexi
co's south and to treat Mexico’s In
dian people with greater respect.
“We can close our eyes to infamy
