In emergency situation the north of Mexico

Priest Pato: The alimentary emergency in the mountain Tarahumara is recurrent
México. - It is dramatic, however the rumour was certain partly (6 corpses) and it was able to put in view of all a truth that most knows but it had forgotten to the population's sector in extreme misery: the indigenous peoples of Mexico, the tarahumaras (raramuris) of Chihuahua among them, they live a chronic famine. Although many prefer not to see it, but they hope to do them with their eyes like flies fumigated to be able to make it, but there are too many evidences of it, as the impossibility of consenting to the three daily foods for lack of economic revenues, chronic malnutrition for the bad quality of the food that they ingest, chronic illnesses that were overcome already, derived of the malnutrition and lack of hygiene.

They are data that stand out whenever some public character wants to thrive with them, or to alarm them to all as if it was an exceptional case, but there they have always been. In the time that was president Vicente Fox this character declared to Coycoyan de las Flores, in the Oaxaca State, of the poorest municipality in the country. Many speeches were said on the situation, but it swims in short it was made to help them to leave the poverty; another point happened later to the municipalities s of Metlatonoc and Cochoapa The Big one in Guerrero State, also of population majority Mixteca.

An inheritance of historical resistance for we aren’t dying
The novelty now is the Tarahumara and the world is seeing like they are suffering the famine, the misery, but the Nahuas of Veracruz can be in this situation, the Tzetzales of Chiapas, the Mayos of Sinaloa, or any other indigenous town of Mexico. All they live in the same condition of poverty, marginal, abandonment, isolation, cultural rejection and racial discrimination. Surviving like they can and resisting for not disappearing for starvation. The above-mentioned doesn't need to be proven it is question of returning behind in the time. To beginnings of the year 2011, the 'National Council for the Social Politics's Evaluation (Coneval) it presented their report about the social development politics's evaluation in Mexico, 2011', with a special section on the development politics and the indigenous towns.

The report is brief and overwhelming, the report agrees that eight of each ten natives in Mexico (79%), they are in situation of poverty, that which means that they cannot satisfy its immediate necessities: feeding, health and education. It is also affirmed that 40% of that percentage to recognize that they don't have revenues to satisfy their necessities. The situation is dramatic. Of all this anything has served that Mexico has signed the Agreement 169 of the International Organization of the Work (ILO), about human rights of the indigenous towns, it had carried out for 20 years; neither the reformation to the constitutional article 2 of August, 2011, where supposedly it was recognized the autonomy of the indigenous towns and their right to decide their own development.

The rights that like town the natives receive from the Mexican state
It is worthy of to stand out that the Mexican town has right to the feeding, education, health, to the work, to the housing and a clean environmental but the situation is different since the State doesn't fulfil its obligations of guaranteeing, to promote and to respect the human rights, it continues privileging the managerial interests in front of the basic guarantees of people. This is presented disguising of projects infrastructures and supposition progress; step has been taken to transnational of the mining, the feeding and the construction.

In this place they are born the rivers that take a bath the fertile valleys of the Yaqui, Mayo and Fuerte. We also find in this place the waters of the river Conchos, with those that Mexico pays The States the flow made a pact in the international Treaty of Limits and Waters of 1944 so that the Americans allow arriving something of the river Colorado to the prosperous valley of the Mexicali. The poverty of the indigenous towns contrasts with the wealth that they inhabit, exploded by people with interests unaware to them. The ethnics of the Tarahumara`s mountain are: raramuris, odamis (tepehuanes), o'odams (pimas) and warijoos (guarijìos). The displacements of their ancestral establishments that the settlers impelled to dominate them, continued with the agrarian reformation, under the argument of forming “population's nucleus” to those which to right them the earth.

Situation of national emergency
This emergency situation, it should force to the Mexican town to assist the alimentary urgency but to thoroughly revise the strategies and political social, and the situation of the Mexican field on the part of the three government levels, and especially, on the part of the federal government that is the one that elaborates the national politicians. For more than 75 years that we had not had such a serious situation as which is registering at the moment for drought, famine, floods, freeze and in general for the change under the climatic conditions. One has that after 20 years of social fights the right was recognized to the feeding in the Great Letter. October 13, 2011 were published in the Official Newspaper of the Federation, the addition of a paragraph third to the article 4, and a second paragraph of the XX fraction of the article 27.

A great quantity is dedicated from economic resources to the Mexican agriculture with faulty results, because the productivity has not been increased. The programs have become dangerously assistance, dedicated to create social benefits without taking harnessed the necessary generation of capacities. 17% of the resources of the Concurrent Special program is only dedicated to the rural development; it is insufficient to solve problems like the infrastructure lack, the earth concentration for big agro- industrial companies, as well as practice of advantageous commercialization for middlemen in detriment of small producers.

For that reason until our days the indigenous populations of Baqueachi and Choreachi continue defending their lands in the agrarian tribunals. But it is not the only spoil that the natives suffer: the irrational forest exploitation that benefits them in anything, now unites the mining exploitation -that this federal administration’s six years has sowed to all the long of the Mexican nation -, and the tourist project 'Barranca del Cobre’ of which they come the contamination and the garbage that they go leaving these foreign depredators seeing to run. This misery doesn't end up because we tear ourselves the broken vestments, but changing the relationship of colonialism and the relationship that there is among the society like collective social-economic, on the other hand they are towns that can design its own development, and lastly to accept its autonomy like social collective organism, and to recognize San Andres' agreements that 15 years ago have not been completed..(La Jornada, política, p. p. 4-6, 14 de enero, 2011).
