The tribunal of transparency

National They have created a brave dog, without teeth The tribunal of transparency of national information By: Carlos Damian November 9, 2012 An organ is needed with the president's from Mexico total independence Mexico. – At PRD in the Chamber of deputies outlined to reform the Constitution with the purpose of extinguishing the Federal Institute of Access to the Public Information (IFAI, in Spanish) and to substitute it for a tribunal of transparency, it dependent of the Judicial Power of the Federation. In an initiative in this respect, the spokesman of the fraction of the PRD, Carlos Reyes Gamiz (CRG), he explained that with it would be constituted it in the federal Executive's independent organ and it would strengthen in a definitive way the right the access to the public information. When being extended CRG, he said that the IFAI has become a “guardian dog without teeth” to the being finally; an organism of the public administration whose members are named by the Mexico’s president, for what lacks capacity of gradual coercion when the other areas of the administration refuse to accept their resolutions. So in fact this organ only has capacity to give view to the organ of internal control of those instances, for what doesn't guarantee the access to the public information, and when this refuses to the citizens they should appeal in habeas corpus’ trials in the face of the Judicial Power, and only if they win the resource they are given the requested data. However, “the information that doesn't arrive on time, doesn't useful", CRG indicated. The Initiative intends to reform the quarter fraction of the constitutional article sixth in which is defined to establish access mechanisms to the information and expedite revision procedures on the part of specialized, impartial organs and with operation autonomy, administration and decision. Data and documents obtained by means of the Federal Law of Transparency reveal that during little more than three years in that Maria Elena Perez-Jaen (MEPJ), she has acted in this position, it registers 13 trips to the foreigner with a cost to the near treasury to 33 thousand 333.33 USD. The commissioned of the IFAI, frequently carries out trips to the foreigner. MEPJ has visited in “commission” diverse countries like: Australia, New Zealand, and Korea of the South, Hong Kong, India, Brazil and Chile. In the trip to Hong Kong, (at June 9- 18, 2012), the treasury paid 5 thousand 615.13 USD in airplane tickets and a thousand 558.53 USD for travel concept. The commissioned one was outside of the country during 10 days (6 of these working days) and it only participated June 16 in a panel; the rest of the activities subscribes to meetings with members of the Mexican consulate and attendance to forums. When arriving to the Asian country, June 11, only date a meeting with the general consul from Mexico to converse on the exhibition to be carried out the following day. The chronicles of the participations in general don't fulfill those that establish the internal limits honestly for the travel assignment and passages national and international for the commissions in the acting of their functions. The above-mentioned, of agreement with the answers of the own IFAI emitted in reason of diverse applications of information like 0673800038512 number. In visits to other countries the contribution is not detailed for the IFAI. Most of the histories are limited and although they offer details of schedules of lunches or protocol meetings, it isn’t necessary the methodology used for the elaboration of the report and of the impact in the development of the IFAI, and as well as this history the country this full with the commissioners' details in the diverse states of the country. Mexico with the PRI won't be measured in expenses No country should allow that its public debt went bigger to 100 percent of its annual GIP, like it is the case of Greece, Iceland, The States and Spain goes that it runs. This feeble syndrome of spending more than what one has is a symptom that proceeds to more wrongs. The “tragic dozen of the PAN” has taken to the indebtedness to the country to a figure that is about 40 percent of the GIP, something like an fact are five billion dollars and little more. At Vicente Fox first year it was of approximately 17 percent who the government received with a debt of 0.15 billion USD, but in the years of federal administration of the PAN this figure was duplicated. In this lapsus the writer does wonder, where the silver of the money of the loans was and even more that of the petroleum? In this context it seems that Mexico is distant of the economic problems that suffer The States, Greece, Iceland, and Spain, but the dynamics imposed by the federal government to request borrowed to the foreigner it makes us fear the worst thing. The Managerial Coordinating Council suggests that it notices a limit that is not bigger to 40 percent. It would be better 30 percent, but this goal was already surpassed. The CCE is not the appropriate entity to make recommendations, but it suits to assist its call of attention, and although they have not stopped to think in that the Fobaproa, that cancer of the society inheritance of the neoliberal system has added 120 thousand million dollars to the bill of the national debt. For misery of the Mexican nation the PRI that has arrived to the presidential seat it is giving signs that it will spend until the money that is not in the treasury following the economic line of Calderon. First, the 10 millions USD for the “democratic” transition being wasted in trips to the exterior, and now the transatlantic airplane that Enrique Peña Nieto will use for the first time whose price is of 370 million dollars. But as they will buy it to credit, it is supposed that the interests will make that their cost is shot until the sky. According to American reports some republican members of the chamber of representative from The States, the famous operation Fast and Furious, it was conceived and executed with the pretense of affecting to the cartel of Sinaloa. But the certain thing is that the organization of traffickers directed by Ismael Zambada and Joaquin Guzman has received along the two federal administrations of the PAN a remarkable protection, and that the balance of the war of Calderon has been markedly favorable for the mentioned cartel (La Jornada, politica, p.p. 4-5, October 30, 2012).
