October 11 twenty years since the founding of the Federal Electoral Institute
and this institution is in the eye of the hurricane.
As we approach the 2012 presidential election political crisis,
economic, social, cultural, environmental intensifies in Mexico, especially from electoral fraud
2006. As soon
31 October, elect three new directors of the IFE,
amid a deep disrespect for IFE. Everyone is talking about a setback
of this institution since 2003, and diagnosed the problem
is that parties are allocated seats by "quotas." There is talk of democracy
"fragile." Is that the basic problem, no! The problem is
background.
Will we live in democracy?! According to Article 3 of the Constitution
democracy not only be understood as a legal structure and a
political regime, but as "a way of life based on the constant
economic, social, and cultural life of people". What we live in
Mexico is a kick in the rapidly worsening economic situation
, social and cultural development of Mexico and its people. But
profits of large corporations are on the rise, in 2009,
the Bank of Mexico reports 33% increase output and profits of transnational
Mexican investments abroad increased 556% in 12 months
(La Jornada 21 October) . The knock against the people whom it
tax increase, is fired from his job, he
increase gas prices, gas, electricity,
conditions are imposed on wages and working poor from hunger is possible because he
decide in this country are predominantly large U.S. monopolies,
do not pay taxes and make big business with the banking, energy,
mining, airlines.
In Mexico, neoliberalism and drove him
large corporations are making the decisions in favor of national monopolies and foreign
. Neoliberalism has its own political system is that
system, which prescribes the World Bank together with the free market is that
has been established in Mexico. A party system, "multiparty" of
alternation in power of political forces that obey the same
interests, big business. Thus, no transition to democracy
as they say, but the single party to bipartisanship, the PRI-government
PRIAN the government. The dictatorship of the big corporations that
guaranteed while these two parties, which are complemented
they are two sides of the same coin, are in power. PRI and PAN
Mexico led to the subordination to the IMF and World Bank, the wage freeze, the
privatization of public enterprises, the Free Trade
North America, Fobaproa-IPAB, the Alliance for Security
and Prosperity in North America, the Merida Initiative and the integration
subordinate to the U.S. military.
In celebration of 20 anniversary of the IFE, Salinas de Gortari was the
star, in his speech said: "The proof is
alternation of democracy" and that the IFE mean "a step in building democratic
Mexico." According to José Woldenberg Mexico live in a country democratic
from the 1st "citizen" of the IFE and
alternation in power. According to him "the authoritarian system was dismantled and
built a democratic system in which the Executive is a power among others."
But "democracy" of speaking, is not nothing but
"-style democracy American " disguising the dictatorship of
large corporations who make decisions and struggles to impose
everyone. The transition took a
party system to a two-party system is the classic model of capitalism. A
political system in which the dome has all the control, starting
because they have a monopoly on the registration of candidates. Well controlled
Members who are the ones who appoint the directors of the IFE and appointed senators
Trife judges and choose from the President's proposal
ministers of the Supreme Court. So
all staff are controlled by the dome
the three branches serve a single power, the big corporate capital. So
favor mining companies, and leave without rescuing the miners of Pasta de Conchos
, leaving unpunished the deaths of 49 children in the Nursery ABC and allow the failure of Mexican
striking workers and consumers, not hold
Gaston Azcarraga respect for their rights, and stop the turbines of the hydroelectric
to favor English
gas exploration companies, which ultimately leads to flooding in Tabasco, and allow higher fees
telephony and banking rescue
automotive and foreign at the expense of workers and the people. All
policy favors big monopolies and sacrifices for the working people and consumers alike
.
This allows undemocratic system. The establishment of the IFE and
reforms in 1993, 1994, 1996 have built a bipartisan
seven games still exist all decisions are made by the PRI-PAN alliance
, who are fighting the posts and positions, but are united
the same project. So the alliance with the PAN driving
Jesus Ortega and Manuel Camacho and is not limited to union PRD-PAN in the 2010 elections and
2011, is a step to boost Washington's bipartisan bill
who loves us to choose "freely" between Pepsi Cola and Coca Cola.
But if there is an Alternative National Project to affect
large corporations such as Andrés Manuel López Obrador raised
defend oil and petrochemical, mining so that it is in the hands of the Nation,
attack him openly. The IFE will remove its "spots", while the campaigns TV
Peña Nieto and Marcelo Ebrard are doing very well.
it requires to appear and give account and denied freedom of expression, a clear
criminalization of dissent. Meanwhile in Mexico
continue mud campaigns and money, vote buying, coercion
employees, corporatism, the interference of the authorities, in the PAN
as in the PRI. IFE is clear that the appliance is serving
the powerful and the control of the political system by the oligarchy
proyanki and if there has been change in Mexico has been a change
in reverse.
But in Mexico you live an awakening, a movement to rebuild and renew our country
. On October 2, 2010 met at the Club of Journalists
, Congress raised the sovereignty that
democratic renewal of our society, the basis of financing the electoral process and not
parties, who are the voters who choose to
candidates, the campaigns are fair, with equal time in
media campaigns and proposals, no attack or purchase of voting.
that send voters on their representatives, who must develop
the agenda adopted at the election. Enough of that officials act willfully
! The current political system gives them a blank check and
that is not democratic. When Calderon spoke in his campaign to privatize PEMEX
or start a civil war against drugs? In elections promised
employment be president! But 44 000 electrical fires
hand on the waist. The agent has to obey the interests of their constituents
and not vice versa. Finally, it is necessary to create a mechanism for revocation
terms of reference for officials who fail
with their constituencies. In a democracy, the people will decide, is
empowers and defines the direction of the country. Then it will
improved economic, social and cultural.
We are at a historic moment, the new project to raise the
Nation is the first step to a profound and positive transformation of our country's situation
and the beginning of a process that will bring
democracy and justice and peace.
