Actors Felix Mayes, and Feliz Morales featured in El Barzón “The Yoke” (2025), Davis square Park
“The El Barzón movement argued that the loan repayment conditions after the collapse of the peso were not the fault of the debtors but of the government and the banks. Its slogan was ‘Debo, no niego, pago lo justo’ — ‘I owe, I don’t deny it, but I’ll pay what is fair,’ which spoke directly to the anxiety many felt concerning the question of justice. … El Barzón engaged in collective civil resistance to police and banks, blockading homes, organizing marches, and challenging unjust repossessions.”
