The political culture of the Copala Triqui region has been characterized by factionalism and armed confrontation among leaders, neighborhoods, and political organizations. The political violence has led to the emigration of more than half of the population. Many families have settled in colonies close to the agricultural regions of northwestern Mexico. While migration has allowed the Triqui to overcome factionalism and armed conflict, another violence-almost invisible, unrecognized, or even considered part of everyday life, normalized-brings hunger, disease, despair, and humiliation. En la región triqui de Copala, la cultura política se ha caracterizado por el faccionalismo y la confrontación armada entre líderes, barrios y organizaciones políticas. La situación de violencia política ha provocado la emigración de más de la mitad de la población. Muchas familias se han asentado en colonias cercanas a las regiones agrícolas del noroeste de México. Si bien la migración al noroeste de México ha permitido al pueblo triqui superar el faccionalismo, eludir los enfrentamientos armados y los asesinatos políticos, otra violencia-casi invisible, no reconocida o incluso admitida como parte de la cotidianidad, normalizada-provoca el hambre, la enfermedad, la desesperación y la humillación
