México. - In the context of the economic brutality in Valencia at the weekend they happened (2/18-19/12) accompanied by the National Police repressing with unusual violence to the students that protest, against the cuttings to the educational budgets undertaken by the right-wing government that Mariano Rajoy heads (MR) who looks for in that way to satisfy the demands of the European Union and of the international organisms before to cover the social necessities and to guarantee fundamental rights. In their intents to evacuate people that are not according that are family parents in their majority, professors, students and parliamentarian, of the streets and of several teaching centers, the forces of the order injured to dozens of people, they arrested without justification to teenagers students, sifting journalists and they untied judicial persecutions with base in charges that as it has been demonstrated with the videos of the facts, they are invented.

What they show the recordings of images is on the other hand; it is that frequently the antidisturbance elements has undertaken it to blows against people that didn't make more lack than to be in the places in which the police loads were developed. An expression that illustrates the bloody attitude of the police against the demonstrators is that the police boss Antonio Moreno used who referred to the demonstrators like “the enemy". For further civic exasperation, that official described the performance of the police like “a reserved and measured answer” to supposed “physical assaults” of those mobilized in defense of the education.

The brutality repressive post-Franco’s era
Of course, the police brutality, to which several voices in the Spanish means compare with the charges of “the gray ones", as previously they were called to the Franco’s force, in reference to the color of the uniform dressed by the repression’s forces. This repressive police brutality has climbed the initial dissatisfaction exponentially, and now the demonstrators don't only demand that the determination is deposed of clipping the educational budget, but they demand, also the delegate's removal in the Comunidad Valenciana of the government from Madrid, Paula Sanchez de Leon. It is necessary not to lose of view that the police brutality liberated by the régime of MR is only not the most recent episode in a saga of violence necessarily physical of the government against the population.

Indeed, the political class of Madrid decided to transfer the costs of the crisis in which the country is sunk to the population in general, which should have faced the increase of the unemployment, the reduction of its level of life and the loss and the contraction of educational services, of health, housing and others. If the government of the Party Socialist Spanish Worker (PSOE), abandoned to his political platform that promised the promotion and the defense of the state of well-being, his succession in the Moncloa, in charge of the Popular Party of MR, and of Jose Maria Aznar, he makes in front of the uneasiness popular resultant by means of the police brutal force and it allows to make out, at the beginning, the authoritarian tendencies that justify that it is described to that police organization as post- Franco’s era, not only because it was founded mainly by former officials of the dictatorship, as the recently deceased Manuel Fraga, but also for an inheritance ideological that cannot hide.

The raw economic reality
That happened in the old continent is mere chance if we place in perspective the Mexican scenario, for thirty years of governments with neoliberal politicians, they have made us load with an imaginary crisis, putting under an obligation to allow that they reduce us the wage at alarming levels, in other words they have “frozen” the salary increases. They have eliminated employments and they have not generated enough for the growing market labor Mexican. We have suffered affectation to the programs of the field, education, culture, housing, alimentary and of health. The above-mentioned has caused a violent scenario, without opportunities, this way they generated a violent explosion of the town that gives for result “the war against the organized crime", the political system in advance was early to this social explosion taking out the military ones and marines to the streets.

But far away from rescuing to this excluded sector of the social progress, of generating employments making works like: to make bridges, highways, hydroelectric preys, to create companies to refine those derived of the petroleum, to rescue to the field of the lack of water and seeds, to offer rescues of these social sectors hit by the crisis and to dignify the conditions of the old men life, women and children, it has been opted to spend enormous resources in an effort of containing to the organized crime by means of the military force. They go to the neighbor of the North for consultancy to put an end to this misery of the Mexican’s town, and both they come to an agreement in acquiring weapons of thick caliber, airplanes, and helicopters to make profitable the consultant’s office of The States. Generating a “intestine war” intense in the Mexican north that is where the big capitals and employments are generated, it is the area where the wealth expands to the center, and south of Mexico. For origins inexplicable the rich Mexican northerners extend now to the south of The States.

It is necessary to wonder if it won't finish something similar in some scenarios of the old continent. The governments of the European Union would have to look at themselves in the Mexican mirror. In sum, Spain has been placed by its previous and current governing in the face of the possibility of an escalade of social explosions, repressive broadsides and it discourages as the one that takes place in Greece. If the Hellenic scenario ends up repeating in Spanish lands, MR and its team they won't be able to argue that they ignored the perspective. (La Jornada, política, p.p. 4-8, 21 de Febrero, 2012).
