The EPN’s team supports the sale from the country type garage to the outsider

Mexico. -  The energy reformation and their secondary legislation won't allow combating the poverty and the inequality like the government of EPN offered, senators of the PRD noticed who intended to modify the Law of the Mexican Fund of the Petroleum for the Stabilization and the Development (FME, for their initials in Spanish), so that it is really bound to social objectives. As for Mario Delgado (PRD) he intended to modify that law that is included in the notebook it has more than enough oil revenues, this with the purpose of settling down that a week of the oil production it was dedicated to support a million youths that every year abandons the High School one. They are raw 12 million barrels that “we could label; (they are) six days that can change the destination of the country". The previous one was one of yesterday's central debates (8/5/14), before the fifth verdict of the secondary legislation of the energy reformation was approved. People of the PRI-PAN sustained that the FME will allow to generate saving and investment of long term.    The transnational outsider will deduce payments for affectation of lands  Of entrance, when presenting the verdict, the president of the Commission of Treasury, Jose Francisco Yunes Zorrilla (PRI), he said that it will operate as public fideicommissum that will decide the payments and considerations to the contractors, and it will be managed with total transparency, since it will have the obligation of making public in Internet the information on the payments to the foreign oil companies and the revenues received by the State by concepts of bonuses and assignments. In turn, senator Alejandro Tello Cristerna (PRI), it stood out that that bottom will administer the long term oil revenues and when they overcome 3 percent of the GDP, recommended to the Chamber of Deputies, the figures in that they will be used will be 40 percent for the long term saving and up to 60 percent in other items: 10 percent for the universal, other pension system 10 in projects of science technology and renewable energy, 30 by projects of oil infrastructure and 10 percent in scholarships. However Mario Delgado (PRD), he responded him that “relation order is pure fiction", and so that finally resources arrive from that bottom to science and technology the rate of growth it should be bigger to the GDP and it at least in next five years it won't happen". All these cheerful bills of the PRI-PAN when they have been made reality in the education item, long term saving, you grant a scholarship for the youths, science and technology, oil infrastructure and all these beauties that decorate to the Mexican taco, if we go back to the past in these matters the reactionary and conservative right-wing, it has never made it in these thirty years of neoliberalism.    The payment for affectation of lands of until three percent of the revenues that they obtain the transnational ones for the exploitation of petroleum and gas them will be able to deduce it from their costs, as it points out the law of hydrocarbons. A reservation of the PRD that intended to modify that point and that the payment was carried out before taxes; it was rejected by most PRI-PAN. Also, the position was discarded of imposing as obligation the presence of social witness in the negotiations between the company and the owner of the affected property. Senator Luis Sanchez (LS) he noticed that one leaves defenseless to peasants and ejido’s men in front of the big offices of the foreign corporations and it complained that it doesn't clear up in the law how long it will take the “temporary occupation of properties". He will be able to be for 30, 40, up to 50 years, and when they return them to their legitimate proprietors they won't be good for anything. It is an incongruity that the State protects to the companies national outsiders not putting an it collides of negotiation, and it illustrated the entities that will be affected by the extraction of “gas shale and petroleum."     The outsiders include the rent of properties in the production cost  The senator explained that it is 5 thousand 866 public land, of 33 thousand 877 towns in 260 municipalities of 12 states. "This illustration is only so that they remember it, it will have plundering, and the proprietors of the earth won't receive anything", but that garbage, their waters will be poisoned, and the unbreathable environment.  From their bench senator Patricio Martinez (PRI) LS rebuked: "It would be good that it made a revision of the geologic investigations that there is. The information that I have is that difficultly in five municipalities of the Chihuahua State has the security of the existence of that gas". He also told him that it would be convenient that it made the reconciliation and to subtract of those 260 municipalities 62 in those that one has prospecting of the existence of gas shale for those municipalities in the Chihuahua State". “NO!" Senator LLS -responded -, “in no way I have said that there are 60 municipalities of Chihuahua included here. This is information of Pemex, not mine. And there is only a municipality of included Chihuahua where now is known there is gas shale". The sarcasm and the ignorance came out to it floats of the senator of PRI. Also, senator Francisco Garcia Cabeza de Vaca (PAN) it stood out that the Chamber of Deputies ‘enriched’ the notebook that sent to the Senate, being sensitive with the knowledge that the rural population is in a precarious economic and social situation, and that under those conditions they show, among small proprietors, public land and communities, near 90 percent of the property in Mexico."   He insisted in that with the modifications made by the deputies “you will offer bigger artificial certainty and social justice to the future use contracts or of superficial occupation, when granting bigger benefits to the proprietors and regular of the lands, and of course, to public land and communities", gotcha the fantasy this concluded in the country of the marvels. Fidel Demedicis (PRD), he insisted in that will modify in the verdict, “only a word, a verb: instead of 'they should be' social witness that he/she says to participate 'they must be’. If they don't make it, they will leave the peasants (indigenous communities) in the vulnerability before the big ones transnational", outsiders and to the citizen they will reduce it to a third class in a country of second, and they will consider to this produced country and strange to the regular Mexican.   The most expensive in the world  In accordance with the classification of Bloomberg, Norway is the country that has the most expensive gasoline in the world. In fact it is Mexico to which corresponds the first place, if it takes in bear mind the relationship minimum price-wage. The Norwegian pay in their currency the equivalent one to 8.48 dollars for gallon, but they have a wage average diary of 237 dollars for gallon of Magna gasoline (the most economic gas). The Mexicans pay 3.33 dollars for gallon of Magna gasoline, but the minimum wage is from 4.49 dollars to day. A Norwegian can pay 2.3 tanks of 45 liters of gasoline with a day of wage, while a Mexican and assuming that it has an automobile winning the minimum wage, this it would need to spend eight and a half days of salary to fill the same tank. Although they repeat us an and another time in the electronic means the federal government's publicity that this it is our country, and we wonder that side of America is our property and our culture, since the Americans repeat us that we are Central American and our fantasy of being North American is only that a wonderful dream. With all our laws legislators they try to create this country of fantasy created by the foreigners so that in our country the citizens occupy the lowest work positions with a wage of misery. And we wonder that it would pass with this country of Mexico, if some day there were not Mexicans. We say this for the great quantity of Central American trying to live since in Mexico they are expelled by the misery and the Mara 18 and Mara Salvatrucha's violence; because in The States they don't want them and they stay in this country.
