Manuel Terrazas life is fully interwoven with the struggle for a world with more democracy, social justice and above all, a world of peace and brotherhood among peoples.
He was a founder of the World Federation of Democratic Youth (JCP) and early active militant in the struggle for peace and solidarity between the peoples of the world. He was also leader of the World Peace Council (CMP) and president of the Mexican Movement for Peace and Development - MOMPADE.
Terrazas had done the cause of peace and solidarity among the people the reason of his life - links the struggle against war with the struggle for emancipation and liberation of people, always saying that could not have peace as long as imperialism continues to oppress the people around the world.
In recognition of his dedication and commitment to social change, the Mexican people had elected him three times a congressman, and he became one of the most respected personalities in Mexican political life.
He had been always speaking as a fighter for peace, sovereignty and solidarity among peoples. His name is among the greatest of this century, the example of his life of dedication and struggle are the inspiration for thousands of peacekeepers around the world. The name of Manuel Terrazas will be present forever in the Pantheon of fighters and peace builders relations internationalist and fraternal solidarity.
Our condolences to his family and friends.
