México. - The change of the presidency of the directive table of the Chamber of Deputies, a sector of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) it authenticated yesterday the reformation of the PRI and PAN to the article 24 of the Constitution to establish in Mexico “the freedom of ethical convictions, of conscience and of religion” and to allow legally this way in private “the cult acts, ceremonies or devotions” in private and in public. However, their realization and diffusion stay enclosed to inform and to request permission to the authorities. In a debate of seven hours, a sector of deputies of PRD and PT, and the PRI-men of Oaxaca State, they reproached the hurry to approve a reformation that, they noticed it represents an advance of the churches and a setback to the lay State.

The PRI tied the votes of the ‘Nueva Izquierda’ current, on condition that the PRI-men chose Guadalupe Acosta Naranjo, (GAN) of the PRD, as president of the directive table for four months. Accomplished the exchange, those 'chuchos' celebrated with screams and small jumps in its seats. Emilio Serrano was one of the happiest. "A sector of the PRD today it was lent to demolish to the lay State", Avelino Mendez Rangel expressed. The ex president of the directive table, Emilio Chuayffet facilitated that the PAN and PRI discussed in the Commission of Constitutional Points in the full legislative the approval of the political reformation.
Porfirio Muñoz Ledo (PT) it questioned; "From when it stops Chuayffet here it was religious? He is part of a Muslim minority that will be flat with this reformation". The president of the Commission of indigenous Matters, Jorge Gonzalez Ilescas (PRI), it reproached from the tribune that the reformation constitutes a setback and he forgets that entering the Churches in the life economic politics and social Mexican caused lamentable facts in the history. "It isn’t in vain the ideology of Benito Juarez (ex-president of México) and the defense of the lay State of the most universal of the Oaxaca-man", it exposed.

To the living room legislative's end, the deputy Hilaria Dominguez, she exclaimed":” Long lives Juarez!" Her partner Sami David that stayed no longer to the session for not having to vote to favor, but neither in against, he responded: “Religion and jurisdiction"! In the exchange of screams: Porfirio Muñoz Ledo (PML) returned: "That was the scream of Miramon!”. In this exchange of screams it seemed that the ghost of Maximilian of Hapsburg became present in the living room legislative. Javier Corral (PAN) we accuse the Jacobinism of PRD and PT. Carlos Flores (CF) was solaced of the reformation, approved by 199 votes to favor, 58 in against and three abstentions: "we don't know why so much scandal, if we only change three words", he alleged. Did somebody question him, Long Lives Cristo Rey? He spit the words CF, when responding, if it is a normal bring up to date of the Constitution.

The Mexican right-side give gift to the Vatican
The calendar of the visit of the Pope to Mexico (23-26 at March, 2012), it will be very adjusted, the certain thing is that, in symbolic and practical terms, the overflowing public presence of B-16 will mean a blow to the memory of what has been the political current of Benito Juarez (Juarismo), in its historical slope of constitution and defense of the concept of lay State. Mainly because he seeks to become a luck of spectacular historical claiming of the Mexican right-side; as an offering to the luck of the conservative Miramon and Mejia in the hill of the bells.

Of such a luck that the last controls of the clerical expansionism are demolished and to propitiate the legalization of the character confessional in the schools, the realization of massive acts outside of enclosures of religious cult without requesting permission to the authority, the obtaining of concessions for radio frequencies and television through those which to emit own programming and the artificial characterization of the Catholic directly as the dominant Church in the country and excluding as regards conscience. In reason of giving execution to the commitment that Enrique Peña Nieto university graduate of a school of the 'Opus Dei', made with the ecclesiastical local controls in the sense of approving in the Camera of Deputies the adaptations that correspond to San José's Pact and when building a new road to demolish the lay State.

The certain thing is that in the Mexico of the appearances and the simulation, the Catholic Church hardly takes advantage of the contained spaces in the constitutional modifications authorized in San Lazaro and now they wait for its authentication and eventual revision. However the Mexican State had maintained that legal reservation in its favor, that of an artificial prohibition that could be negotiated. Now the victorious clergy legalizes what exercised by means of discretionarily and, therefore, it obtains an legal and politics power that it will be able to transfer openly to the social and electoral lands. The Catholic Church obtained what has been demanding in the public spaces, an expressed license to influence in the electoral elections of 2012.
The Mexican State gives spaces of power more and more in front of powerful groups of pressure like the chain of TV, the managers, the armed forces are: the army, the marines, and policemen, paramilitary and now with the Catholic Church. With this joint the right-side confess that takes refuge in the PAN looks for the help of the Pope's figure to win votes in the 2012, and it hopes to win with Josefina Vazquez Mota the presidency of the Republic.
