This article states that they want complete independence from their government and in result have to deal with poverty, yet is this article a little one sided? Looking at other sides of this issue articles state that the Zapistas (though wanting to be independent) are actually wanting government aid to help their poverty and illiteracy (https://www.globalenvision.org/library/3/721). Can the Zapistas and the government come to a compromise?

There should be a middle ground solution. Instead of panhandling or no panhandling near kids. There should be a solution that meets in the middle that not only supports children's safety but the well being of the homeless as well.

What about the homeless? They have the right to be able to get the little change/food scraps that they can.
