The scandal of the shipyard

National Mexico defeated reactivates the economy of Spain, forgetting to their citizen The scandal of the shipyard By: Carlos Damian January 11, 2014 Pemex contracts foreign shipyards by "abandonment" of naval industry: political of the failure Mexico. - At the European market have had but demand the corporative in the shipyards sector the Frenchs, and Dutch; however the Galician naval sector has lost presence in the sector in spite of the fact that currently the principal activity of the sector is concentrated in the Asian countries. It is impact you the miserable vision upon having knowledge as the Mexican officials have abandoned their naval industry by 25 years impelled this action by neoliberalism and try to reactivating to Spanish industry by means of Pemex and that use to this company State’s property as financial instrument to impel the economy and the employment, and in contrast the Mexican citizens, refugees of the economic misery and lack of employment are anchored in The States without consular attention. On the other hand with a vision of "rout", the Economy Secretariat (SE, for their initials in Spanish), asserted that naval industry of Mexico "has been abandoned by more than 25 years", therefore Mexican Oils (Pemex, for their initials in Spanish) had to appeal to the contracting of "foreign shipyards" to widen their floats shipping, something which includes the construction of two platforms to harbor working, known as float-hotels, and hauling seven. The federal dependency emphasized that the Navy Secretariat (SM, its initials in Spanish) solely will be focused in the smaller vessels construction and Pemex will continue the contracts with companies of other countries to widen their floats naval. To a year and month after that the Deputies Chamber approved an agreement point to request SE "implement politicals that strengthen and impel Mexican naval industry in order to increasing their capacities, infrastructure and technology and is reactivated their participation in the development of the country", the dependency answered that "explores" if it can reactivate the national merchant marine. The request was made in the context of the scandal emerged by the agreement signed with the Xunta de Galicia, Spain, for the rescue of the Galician shipyards, that are found in bankruptcy. Originally, the request presented by the PAN was outlining to exhort to the directing of Pemex, Emilio Lozoya Austin, to the fact that "is canceled the agreement signed with the Xunta de Galicia, through the one which is concretized the construction of 14 hauling: seven in Galician shipyards, and seven in Mexican shipyards", agreement whose existence was denied by the company State’s property. The Economy Commission (CE) that administers Marco Antonio Bernal (PRI) changed the way of the petition, which was approved in the ordinary meeting in December 13, 2012. In response, Economy (Ministry) indicated: "The Navy Secretariat is the only one that builds ships in Mexico, and given its infrastructure, it has been had the need of appealing foreign shipyards, since neither the Navy nor the national private shipyards have the capacity to build greater vessels". The official document, which was alternated to the CE, indicates that nevertheless "exist conditions so that the Navy support to the national ship-owners and to implement a program to short and average periods in order to that smaller fret vessels would be built in the country". The political link director of Economy, Emilio Gutierrez, informed the Deputies Chamber that Pemex yes has signed agreements with industry naval of other countries, "in complementary form in capacities and technology". Indicated that this policy "encompasses the period 2013-18 and has between their objectives the promotion and development of naval industry". In contrast with the Economy lag behind, in February of 2013 Energy I inform the legislators Chamber that "the renovation process of the fleet in Pemex Exploration and Production encompasses 81 vessels, through a contracting plan in the long run with period of construction to obtain the modern and reliable vessels service". Promises and more promises The Treasure Secretary for 2013 resulted his bets fail since committed an economic growth of 3.5 percent, and the reality, it does not is going beyond 1.3 percent, in such a way that Mexico is located in the step number 19 of 20 possible. The viceroy Videgaray has not been deposited, and for 2014 assures that the weak national economy will advance "approximately 3.9 percent, something which locates to the nation with a growth up above of the growth waited for the rest of the world, and above some developed economies". Has begun the year and the promises also happen before our eyes but with this promises shift do not arrive to nothing actually. We see that the International Monetary Fund (IMF), favorable to the Mexican technocracy predicts for 2014 an average growth of 3.6 percent, while emphasizes the magic number of 3 percent, in such a way that the nation would not surpass the international average, and this has been discarded. The spokesmen of the government speak of "our commercial associates", though in reality only it is one and it is located to the north, and the Estate Secretary also throws a number, that it is not very removed from the reality. According to the IMF, in 2014 the Canadian economy would grow 2.2, and the American 2.6 percent. Recall us that the Mexican would not happen of the 3 percent, what by certain contrasts with the figure of the viceroy Luis Videgaray (LV), 3.9 percent and Jose Angel Gurria of "more than 4 percent". In these figures must Japan does not pass of the 1.2, and China is enclosed in 7.3 of agreement to the IMF and 5.1 percent for India. Carlos Fernandez, financial researcher, in his informative column "Mexico SA", comments us: "This entire figure is a small tug by crumbs; you understood that to begin to leave of the hole and Mexico requires growing until 6 percent annual supported something that it has not been seen by decades. In these magic figures LV announces, that "in Mexico the economic growth of the last 30 years is of hardly 2 percent in average, in real terms, and that is far below of the expectations of an economy that seeks to leave of the poverty and be converted into an exempt prosperous country". Into this informative context forgot to mention that yet fulfilling his promise of growing 3.9 percent in 2014, the average of the first biennium of the federal administration EPN, it will be equal of mediocre". If we focus ourselves in the Latin American area, the Cepal (for their initials in Spanish) was more generous with respect to economic growth of Mexico: 3.5 percent in 2014, this figure is equal to that of Uruguay and Guatemala. Such generosity of LV, it does not reach to confirm what is asserted, since very up above of our country will grow Panama (7 %), Bolivia and Peru (5.5 both), Nicaragua and Dominican Republic (5, in each case), Colombia, Paraguay, and Haiti (4.5 for each one). They’ll be happy, incredulous Mexicans, we have the renewed growth promise, and though we will not draw to the ox from the gully, we have a "reform" financial, that promulgated in Los Pinos residence, surrounded by some of the bankrupt Estate Secretaries, that is worth to recall, went to "to detonate" the banking credit for productive effects. For such occasion LV, gives us, this speech, that far away we listen in other six years, by chance: "this reform represents an opportunity only so that the financial sector contribute in better measured to the economic growth all including. In Mexico we have a great opportunity that derives from a paradox: we have without doubt one of the better banking systems of the world, solid, capitalized, with liquidity, well handled. However, it is one of the banking systems that less lend in the world, with a credit breakthrough to the private sector of only 26 percent, the credit in Mexico is far below, of the average in the OECD. The financial reform that today promulgates the president will permit to amend this situation and to make of the credit a detonator great of economic growth in favor of the Mexican families". This rhetoric has been repeated from the Fobaproa in 1995 and continues the equal situation. The bankers do not open the key of the credit to the productive private sector and they do not reduce rates neither commissions. Response is the same: a sound guffaw of the barons of the money. But already they were announced the benefits of the "reform” and what is novel is the recovery of the development banking, but with directing as Enrique de la Madrid Cordero in Bancomext, it is difficult since the junior confused to the banking institution of the State with a particular agency of public relationships to promote it politically.
