The Frente del Pueblo en Defensa de La Tierra or Community Front in Defense of Land, was formed in 2002, by residents of San Salvador Atenco, to resist their forced displacement by the government of Mexico. The government planned to displace them to make way for a new Mexico City Airport. Wielding their machetes, the FPDLA became a symbol of popular protest in Mexico.
