The Conago

National
The unfounded posture
The Conago
By: Carlos Damián July 22, 2012
The unilateral attitude of the governors of the PRI
México. - We are immerses in the plenary session of the National Conference of Governors (CONAGO, in Spanish) that was developed in Queretaro State and that it was integrated in great majority by state governors coming from the PRI, the leader host, Jose Calzada Rovirosa (JCR) -who occupied the presidency ‘pre témpore’ of the mentioned organism until yesterday -, he called to the political actors to “not forcing the life in harmony of the country” and “to maintain the institutional bed to exercise their dissents". It is unavoidable to link such declarations with the decision of the presidential applicant of the Progressive Movement, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), of refuting the validity of the election of the July Day for the violations that presumably dominated, during the electoral process, to constitutional principles.

Position in that context, the pronouncement of the governor of Queretaro is unfounded, in the first place because it insinuates that the elected action direction for the Tabasco-man is equal “to force the life in harmony of the country", that which is false: if something has made the presidential candidate of the lefts up to now it has been to conduct their dissent for the legal beds and to drain the different phases that it understands the electoral process. It is not gratuitous that the own presidential applicant of the PRI, Enrique Peña Nieto (EPN), have recognized the right of AMLO to refute the elections before the Judicial Power’s Electoral Tribunal of the Federation (TEPJF, in Spanish).

The supposed democratic transformation
If the posture of the Conago is inadmissible in the bottom, it is also it in the form, because it presents to that organization - that should act as point of administrative coordination among the state governments and how instance of defense of the federal pact - as yoked to the cause of EPN how defender of their aspirations to head the federal Executive's ownership. Such an attitude evokes the times of subjection inevitably from the governors to the central power - one of the characteristic features of the presidential line in the authoritarian Mexico - and it questions the sought democratic transformation of the tri-colored one during the period that has remained in the opposition to federal scale: if the subordination to the character of EPN is clear from this moment, when the electoral process differs of having finished, it fits to infer that it will be much more marked in case the Mexico-man is able to arrive to the Presidency of the Republic.

Apart from this, the speech of the Conago is aggravation particularly if it takes into account that, in accordance with the available indications and with the information presented by the Progressive Movement in its resource of objection to the presidential election, several of the members of the PRI of this conference they still acted as factor of distortion of the popular will in the electoral process under way still, and they were them in any event who forced the democratic institutionalize.

To the meeting they lacked governors of the PRD and PAN
In their plenary meeting 43, the members of the Conago gave to know a positioning on the elections, in which they mention to the report of the General Council of the Electoral Federal Institute (IFE, in Spanish) to point out that the voting favored the former governor of the Mexico State. The meeting, in which took place the tenth anniversary of the Conago, was carried out without the arisen governors of the PAN, except for the Morelos, and without the Executive's leaderships in Mexico City. Marcelo Ebrard; Guerrero, Angel Aguirre; and Chiapas, Juan Sabines. The three last elect under the initials of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD, in Spanish). In total 19 leaders and the host arrived the governor of Queretaro, as well as three recently elect governors: Chiapas, Manuel Velasco; Yucatan, Rolando Rodrigo Bello, and Morelos, Graco Ramirez, this is, seven less than those that they had confirmed their participation.

The host JCR rejected that the PRD-men and PAN-men have slighted the encounter, where there was prevalence of the PRI-men, and it attributed their absence to the intense rains that there was in the country during Thursday and Friday (6/12-13/12). After being known the positioning on the elections, the only leader presents PAN-man. Marco Adame, said that this declaration doesn't mean that it is recognized EPN like winner of the elections. In fact, it told that in the writing of the document the executives were very careful, for not to pass for high that the election is in phase of objections, and for it, recognition was made to the abilities that it has the TEPJF.

The judicial dispute that one lives in the country for the results of the presidential elections framed the works of the Conago. The boss of Government of the Federal District, Marcel Ebrard Casaubon (MEC), clarified that it didn't approve neither it signed the pronouncement of the Conago about the presidential election. He remarked that the position of the GDF “will be given to know once the TEPJF concludes with the qualification” of the elections, that which could be prolonged up to September 6. In their account of Twitter, MEC wrote: "Absolutely false that the DF and I approve and we sign pronouncement it has more than enough presidential election of the Conago". In a bulletin, it was informed that MEC is in San Juan Puerto Rico, in the 24 meeting of Mayors of the Union of Latin American Capital Cities.

With these considerations, and to the margin of the legalize valuation of the presumed irregularities in that the state governing would have incurred in the recent federal election, it is difficult to determine if the points out of Calzada Rovirosa is consequence of an iadmissible ignorance of the phases that they integrate the electoral processes in the country and of the normative ones effective in the matter, or if they are expressions of a bad conscience of the leaders state of the PRI in front of their presumably illegal intervention in the recent elections.
