Biggest earnings of the capital
México. - A man that responds to the interests of the financial capital is Agustin Carstens Carstens profile (ACC), governor of the Central Bank (BC, in Spanish), if we refer to the official's insistence on the opening of Mexican Petroleum (PEMEX) to the private capital. If we remove to Chapo Guzman, 10 of the 11 richer men from Mexico that appears in the ‘Forbes magazine’ they kneaded its fortunes starting from being made with the control of public goods or of obtaining public concessions. When we rounding: one will be able to see the pressure behind to carry out legal changes or the interest of the private capital is of telecommunications and of their defenders in the public apparatus to take advantage of the crisis context and to make sure bigger profitability for their capitals.

The opening politicians respond to interests of the great capital, we being able to remember some sentences that they appeared in the weekly publication ‘Financial Times’, in the one that the governor of Central Bank (CB) struggles to take out what you tune to the private capital in some circles ahead it has been called the “structural reformations". ACC has outlined that “the next president from Mexico should disassemble the monopoly in the energy in the country and to give a shake to the sector of telecommunications to achieve bigger rates of growth”. At this time it is important for the candidates to the presidency and for the following one to begin to think about the structural reformations.

The governor of the CB apparently ACC says that Mexico faces the form of translating an appropriate macroeconomic mark in a bigger economic growth, and he has insisted in that the structural reformations will make possible that the Mexican economy grows to rates of 5 annual percent, more than double the average of the last decade, in which the country has been governed by the PAN. It is suspicious that the governor of the CB of Mexico is incisive on the supposed structural reformations, that which puts in evidence that the constitutional objective of the stability of the exchange rate and the purchasing power of the currency that are the commands of the CB assuring rests in the entrance of capitals.

ACC summarizes when saying that it has decreased the inflation and it has been through reducing the dollar via the entrance of capitals. With these iterative sentences, it is constituted as the one registered of the change to the being the causing one of enlarging the sphere of influence of the foreign capital in the Mexican economy. In this context the important structural reformations are: to impel reformations to open Pemex with CFE to the private capital and to reduce the labor costs of the patterns, for that reason the insistence in changing the labor laws in Mexico to continue punishing the economy of the workers reducing their purchase power and to maintain them in the outsourcing without labor benefits, without pension and without IMSS.
It plunder miner. Free hands
This aberrant circumstance and pervert consents it the federal government managed by a small group of corporate, national and foreign, they desolate millions of acres so that they “squeeze” to the underground of gold, silver, uranium, lands strange and diverse minerals, abundant in the national geography. To change such companies supposedly “they pay” between 0.33 and 7.5 dollars for hectare concessioner, while the rich states in mineral resources don't receive more than the scum, the trash and scorn of these “new rich ones". In this context of irrational exploitation of the natural resources it urges a new legislation to the mining law so that the enormous mining wealth of the country benefits their original owners. It is considered that 95 percent of the mining of the country corresponds to the big consortia and they are them who keep the complete cake.

In accordance with the mining Chamber of Mexico the Canadian company Goldcorp is the biggest producer of gold in the country, the which it not only benefits of the national metal, but of the one sustained increase of the international price - around 700 percent in the last eight years - until arriving at a historical level, to the one that now buys the federal government, the same one that concessions the mining areas. To give an idea it is what, the mining industry in Mexico has left the tourist industry behind in what refers to reception of foreign currencies (in 2010 and 2011, 15 thousand 500 million dollars and 11 thousand 900 millions, respectively) and it is only located below the remittances (21 thousand 300 millions). Almost 26 percent of the mining extraction in Mexico is gold (around 4 thousand million dollars only in 2010), and everything she is in hands of particular concessions to who the federal government buys them the Mexican gold with money of the Mexicans.

Months behind, ‘La Jornada’ published the following point “it has given and it continues giving this earth" that only in the first decade of the XXI century, with two governments of PAN (2001-2010), a small group of Mexican companies and foreigners -with the Canadians to the head - they extracted double gold and half of silver that the Spanish Crown stored in 300 years of conquest and colony’ period, of 1521 at 1821, in what today is Mexico, in accordance with the one mentioned statistic. In the decade of administrations of the PAN, with Fox and Calderon in Los Pinos’ residence, the corporate miners obtained 380 tons of gold and 28 thousand 274 tons of silver of the Mexican mines, against 182 thousand tons and 53 thousand 500 tons, respectively in the three centuries of Spanish Colony. Certainly without forgetting that 20 years behind the invaluable national reservations of copper surrendered to a single company, Grupo Mexico whose owner, German Larrea -the second richer man of the country -, not even made it the intent of rescuing the bodies of the 63 miners that, five years after the explosion, they stay under hundred of tons of coal in the mine ‘Pasta de Conchos’, Coahuila, Mexico. The miners' tragic and bloody destination in Mexico. (La Jornada, política, p. 30, March 23, 2012)
