New weapon of Mexico against the cartels of drugs
México. - From close up May 26, in Michoacan and Guanajuato, non identified attackers destroyed at least Sabritas four local and 49 vehicles of the transnational company. The aggressions have followed a similar rule: hooded and armed men with rifles AK45 they dew with gasoline cellars and they throw bombs Molotov to the units of the transport, to set on fire them later on. It has transcended that troops government commissioners for the combat to the delinquency organized in those entities have used vehicles of the corporate one to spy their movements and to move in areas controlled by the drug traffic and that the referred attacks would be the criminal answer to that practice.

Without omitting the condemnable thing that it is the intentional fire of public or private goods it must point out that the police and military forces they should not be protected after the logo of private or public companies of other entities. Of being certain the version that they have come using the transports property of the company Sabritas whose company is devoted to already surrender in the stores the product well-known, it would represent it an irresponsibility of big proportions, so much of the public controls as of the executives of the company that would have authorized similar operation.

Sabritas
Sabritas has modest origins. In 1943 Pedro Marcos Noriega it began to travel the Mexico City in their bicycle selling French fries, corn fries, chickpeas and beans. Five years it puts him the name of ' Sabritas' (apocopation of flavorful and fried). In 1966 Group Pepsico decides to invest later in the business and two years the first plant it was inaugurated in the colony industrial Vallejo. PepsiCo is the company that produces the Pepsi Cola and other acquaintances marks: Quaker, Tropicana, trenches Gatorade, Gamesa, and Lay’s products. Sabritas says that it is the main consumer of industrialized potatoes of Mexico, with 230 thousand tons, as well as one of the main consumers of corn, with 115 thousand tons, in both cases. The president of the group is Pedro Padierna.

Little less than a month of the presidential election three facilities were set on fire in Michoacan, where in Lazaro Cardenas at the 22 hours (5/25/12) to the facilities and seven vehicles fastened them fire being roasted; this group of having hooded took in the hands carafes of gasoline, bombs Molotov, and assault rifles. When seeing this fact amid the night the neighbors they opened up for the force the doors and windows of the property before the rescue’s body arrived. In Apatzingan, at 2 in the night (5/26/12) another characteristic group of fellow men attacked the cellars, after the collapse of the roof there was risk that you collapsed the thatched top of the cellar and it was about to fall on neighboring housings, for this case they were evicted near 40 housings.

Plan destabilize of the country
In the municipality of Uruapan (5/26/12) at the 15:30 hours they set on fire a cellar to a side of the highway Uruapan - Taretan. This squadron of armed men feinted to the watchman, they dewed with gasoline the facilities and they set on fire them. More than 30 vehicles they were burned in the triple it attacks. The neighbors of the place were surprised and certainly they began to knit their doubts of the armed attack. Among these hypotheses they comment that the aggression was because Sabritas refused to pay “protection "to the criminals. The floor payment is since a much extended practice in the district it is a quota that should be covered to the local mafias, and another is that that happened was because they spy them the policemen and the armed forces by means of the vehicles that are property of Sabritas.

It will be that some bombs have been changed by others. In this sequence of aggressions we see that if the facilities of the managers are not sure, they catch fire their plants, it is terrified their employees, to their plants and now they have to leave the country their families for fear of a kidnapping, of a murder, then they get lost something valuable: the security of the families and of the citizens.

Attack drug-trafficker terrorists
That police and military troops use vehicles or facilities for operations of intelligence of a private mercantile company it suffers a high and unacceptable danger for the life and the directive physical integrity and employees of this facility, and this is for itself, contrary to the basic rules that a constituted state must observe in any armed confrontation. Besides, to look for covers in a mark commercial subtraction all seriousness to the acting of the government forces, it operates against the authority and until against the self-esteem of policemen and military, that that in turn distorts the way and purpose of the fight against the delinquency, so affected in the credibility by the bad results that it has hurtled.

In third point, the referred memory must necessarily imply a consideration to the company that it is what distorts its constituent purposes, it muddles and it converts it partly obliging belligerent of the armed conflict. In sum, it is inevitable that the involved dependences clarify to completion if an agreement has existed with Sabritas so that the forces of the order use their transports, their cellars, or in its case their facilities, so that in the successive thing they abstain, of similar agreements that put in risk the life of the employees of this transnational company. The cartels of criminals have interpreted the publicity of Sabritas like: "you cannot burn only one ". Who is swing the cradle? (La Jornada, politica, p.p. 2- 6, May 28, 2012)
