Official deviations
México. - In the context of the expo Guanajuato. The federal executive, Felipe Calderon H., indicated that the feasts by the bicentenary of the independence and centennial of the revolution are not patrimony of "groups, neither of partialities, but of all the Mexicans", and that they should be a factor of national unit. Such signals coincide them with the various sector critiques of the opposition in that entity by the use indiscriminate of financial resources in the referred exposition, and by the opaqueness with which have been led the federal and state authorities in the managing of the public money devoted to such feasts.

The foregoing occurs in a generalized context of the levity, the improvisation and lack of seriousness in the organization, to cargo of the federal government, of the commemorative acts by the two most important republican anniversaries in the country. Meanwhile in other nations of the continent the celebration by the bicentenaries of the independent gestes has served as pretext for the reflection and the analysis of the past and for overcome the historical damages, in Mexico the authorities have accomplished a unwarranted waste, insensitive and little transparent of public resources in works and puppet spectacles, that infringe the promise of the government of Calderon of having a feast "austere, but unforgettable".

More they concern you results the pledge from the governing group by linking, in wrong form and additionally unfounded, the navy gestes of makes 100 and 200 years with the personal crusade of the Mr. President against the drug-traffickers that is developed currently in the country, for sample enough a button: in Guanajuato the Mr. Calderon indicates to us that it is "in the threat to the safety" public where it is the great threaten to the conquered freedom. More the use in the official expressions speech as "enemies", "traitorous of the country" to be referred to the transgressors of the law biases the public perception of the criminal phenomena and misleads to the population yet.

On the other hand the official harangues to celebrate the "freedom", the "equal opportunity", the "plurality" and the “democratic values" keep few or no relationship to the preferences that are detached of the ideological direction and of the actions of the recent governments, included the current. It is not necessary to attend to determinisms historical to conclude that in the current moment, the country faces a critical situation in various fronts, and that the institutionalism national in its joint does not seem capable of recognizing it and to attend it. In that sense, the evident official deviation in the organization of the feasts bicentenaries.

Corruption and responsibilities
The shambles of the weekend (7-8 of August) in Juarez City, Chihuahua, derived in the relief from four commands from the Federal Policeman (PF), outlines unavoidable tasks for the federal government with respect to the policy of the current public safety. The first of they consists of explaining the mechanisms and conditions that permitted the officials appointment that have links with the drug traffic and they are guilty of various offenses, to delimit the corresponding responsibilities therefore is presented, bring face to face the public opinion, as a confirmation of an involved corruption and complicities net between the criminal groups and the safety instances of the public power.

The serious of the accusations compels to presume some responsibility of officials with high level, beginning by those which accomplished the corresponding appointments and delivered to hands presumably they covenant in damage of third person with the cartels of drug-traffickers the police control of the convulsed border locality. In a perspective widest, caused that it is commented confirms the non-viability of the call "war against the drug traffic", that the federal government began more than three years. In this lapse, in spite of the announcements proliferation on “wrecker blows" to the structure of the cartels of the drug, the society has not perceived a reduction nominatives in the maneuver margin and in the warlike and economic power of the criminal organizations.
This strips the improvidence of a strategy that was concentrated in the persecution polices - soldier of the transgressors of the law without before to correct an environment in the one which the instances of the public power has been revealed, in not few cases, as instruments to the drug-traffickers service, of bands devoted to the kidnapping or of other criminal expressions. Even more, the episode acquires special importance in the moment in the one which is outlined, to initiative of the federal executive, the possibility of creating a new police corporation that would operate under a command only in each entity of Mexico.
In an attempt by reinforcing that proposal, the executive of the Public Security Secretariat (SSP), Genaro Garcia Luna, indicated on Saturday past that the organized crime destines monthly more than thousand 13.33 million of dollars to corrupt municipal policemen of the country, but omitted to speak of the existing rottenness in the PF, exhibited by their own integrating. Either it can be guaranteed that it be armored to the corruption the army and the navy. The force of the state to right requires, in the first place that person that retains what belongs you by right the public power fulfill the laws honestly. They will have to end with the corruption, the impunity, and the poverty. If this not happen will not be able be combated to the delinquency and to end with the violence that travels the national territory as a runaway horse.
