NECOECHEA-GRACIA, Gerardo e MERINO, Alicia De Los Ríos. Political Violence and Popular Mobilization: Chihuahua, 1972. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2021, vol.16, n.39, pp.117-151. Epub 24-Maio-2022. ISSN 0122-8803. https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.39.2021.2962.
This article discusses the People's Defense Committee (CDP), organized in the city of Chihuahua (Mexico) in 1972. The Committee, we argue here, emerged as the result of a convergence process of social struggles taking place separately through the 1960s. Such convergence occurred, first, due to the action of a political-military group and the repression that followed; and second, due to the networks of relationships that had been emerged among those involved in the various social struggles. For this reason, this article describes the path of the armed groups and the student, urban popular and union movements in Chihuahua: the CDP was a common point of arrival. The subsequent social protest was qualitatively different because of the strength gained by unified and concerted actions.
