This paper is a reflection on the movements that have emerged in San Salvador Atenco, in the State of Mexico, where the movement is characterized as a peasant movement, labor, popular and ownership and land defense. This movement was defined from the start as the opposition of the proposed construction of the airport, but not just to be against this project, the aim goes further, since the strip them of their land, involves the divestment of its identity, with the implementation of the project, its traditions, its economic, political and social aspects will be transformed and affected, so this fight is to rescue and preserve their identity and life.
