Corporative homicide in Mexico is not prisoner
México. - The rescue of 33 Chilean miners trapped in the explosion of the 5 of August, 2010, in the mine of San Jose Atacama, nearby to Copiapo, Chile puts on terrible evidence the great blame of entrepreneurs and Mexican governing, they load in the back by the industrial homicide occurred 19 of February of 2006 in the Pasta de Conchos mine, Coahuila, north of Mexico and frontier with The States.
In Chile the directors of the owner company of the mine, the provincial authorities of Atacama, the union of the Miner San Esteban Primera, the president of the Republic of Chile and the Chilean people capsized their faith and their technical resources in their salvage, during more than two months, until the rescue of the miners is being you celebrated in that brother country and the world over, from day 67 in which occurred this tragedy.
As opposed to Chile, Mexico in 2006 and until day, neither German Feliciano Larrea Mota Velasco, the second man richer of Mexico, majority stockholder of the Group Mexico (GMM) and of the Pasta de Conchos mine, nor their shareholder associates, neither the presidential couple Vicente Fox Quesada, and Martha Sahagun; they never they put a foot on the mine to support labors of rescue or at least as comity to give them their condolences to the dowagers and family parents of the dead miners. Thereinafter it happened to him in the charge the current president, Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, and their officials did not made act of presence neither samples of support, either they have authorization economic supports for the relatives. In the rescue of 63 bodies of the miners stay abandoned in the fund of the mine, their grave is the forgetfulness and the indifference of the federal and state authorities.
However Felipe Calderon it declared vainness in his electronic mailbox of twitter: impressive, exciting, the rescue of the miners. Hurry up Chile! Live the hope of the fact that the man can surpass any difficulty! Beyond all base hypocrisy of the governing of Mexico. This tragic stage is particularly serious because sample to all a set of entrepreneurs and political giving to him the back to a group of Mexican miners gravediggers in the misfortune and bad luck, that they can not save the life due to the prepotency they decided that these human workers were "a smaller problem", and there was that to preserve the capital that to the work.
A heavy crockery has fallen on the right-side
In the same context, this industrial homicide was the beginning of the perverse persecution that from the governments of the PAN, Group Mexico and other antisocial companies, it has had to resist with great dignity the National Miners Union with their directing more than 4 years. For nobody in the world is already a secret that the Pasta de Conchos tragedy stemmed from the criminal negligence, of the irresponsibility, of the arrogance and meanness of the principal shareholder of the Mining Group Mexico. The National Miners Union (SNTMMSSRM) that heads Napoleon Gomez Urrutia and the mining workers of that work center, much before the explosion we denounce the awful conditions of safety and industrial hygiene that were prevailing in Pasta de Conchos, and was not made us case.
They have elapsed more than 4 years cynical forgetfulness and of the criminal negligence of these murderous corporative, that only accompany to these Sires of the money, the impunity and complicity of the two last federal governments with their respective officials: Francisco Javier Salazar and Javier Lozano Alarcon. Continue vainness celebrating the miners rescue in Chile. The current Minister of Work and Social Provision, Javier Lozano declared in the moment of the tragedy of the Mexicans in coal mine: "we were not going to risk lives to draw corpses". In fact of the crime that was Group Mexico, with Vicente Fox in the previous federal administration, decided to close the mine only five days after of the misfortune, when there was the hope in fact that the trapped miners were live, concealed the real causes of the tragedy.
These governments of the PAN have followed concealing the mistakes, protecting the earning, the miserable work conditions; they have been forgotten to continuing with the justice to the widows and family parents of the dead miners and to their familiar. Even during the last ten years GMM has obtained more than 400 mining concessions, become them in the greater hoarding from lands and natural resources of the country (the laws antimonopoly where are applied?). Has been outlined with the support of the mining union that is legislated to penalize the industrial and corporative homicide; however it is day that it has not been made anything by the legislative and judicial branch.
The rescue on Chile puts over the lance corner to: the officials, owners, and national executive, legislative and to the judicial branch that they have endorsed the criminal abandonment of the Mexican miners, abandoned them in their anonymous work grave. In Mexico canceled all possibility of life to 5 days of the misfortune and to 120 meters of the surface by is mining and poor only. In Mexico have been offered wretched compensations 7 thousand dollars by each dead miner. In The States are offered 3 million of dollars. The widows and family parents attempted to enter the mine in September of 2008 to recapture to their dead and to give them Christian grave, but they were pursued as criminal and judicially with the accusation of "to invade private property", when they were to some meters of recapturing the remains of the miners. The mining union demands that the responsible, the accomplices and the corruptive in their joint will be carried to judgment and consigned by “corporative assassination" and stated to life imprisonment by the criminal facts of Pasta de Conchos. In Mexico were made shirts with the legend, "My dead mining father only let me this damn shirt". (La Jornada, politica, p. 9, October 14, 2010)
