This paper analyzes a conflict in the communal lands of Tila, in the north of Chiapas, characterized by political violence. Groups of economic, social, and political power are here fighting to gain control over the territory. It is a scenario of multiple tensions between the communal land and municipal authorities, the former with a proposal for autonomy supported by the Zapatista National Liberation Army (ezln) and the latter linked to the Institutional Revolutionary Party (pri), under the new façade of the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (pvem), which seeks to maintain control over the territory.

Keywords : territorial conflicts; social stakeholders; autonomy.
