Mexico. -   Inhabitants of the homestead La Escondida one, municipality of Aguililla, Michoacan, maintains blocked from Sunday (09/07/14) the step of half hundred of trucks to the iron mine, to impede that personal of the Profepa it transfers the ferrous material that was confiscated month and half ago, because the company concessionary, New World Mining Corporation, (NWMC) it didn't have the necessary documentation. The founder of the self-defense groups in this town of the western mountain, Jorge Vazquez Valencia (JVV), he said that it is illegal that the Profepa began the transfer of the mineral, because it is not the instance to which corresponds to make it, and in any event it would be the Service of Tributary Administration (SHCP). He remarked that the mineral was confiscated because NWMC didn't have in order the documents, but the mineral is the earth’s owner property and completely legal, for what they should not take it to them without before to pay it. The mineral began to be extracted two days ago of the yard of the mine La Escondida one and transferred to the facilities of NWMC, located to a side of the freeway Uruapan-Lazaro Cardenas, to distance of the population of Petacalco, Guerrero, “but it is something illicit because Profepa is not a dependence executor", it accused.  
 
Through his account of Facebook, JVV affirmed that in passed July the federal government confiscated 200 tons of ferrous mineral, but added, the villagers worry about it them to be taken more than 300 thousand tons of the mineral that is to earth flower. He explained that some days ago authorities of the Profepa were presented in La Escondida one with a dated document September 3, directed to the civil and military authorities, in which the federal dependence requests the load of ferrous material of the mine, as well as of the patios of maneuver of Las Bolsas and La Haciendita, among other to transfer it to the facilities of NWMC.  Jorge Vazquez Valencia made responsible the commissioner for the Security of Michoacan, Alfredo Castillo, of ordering the operation of the transfer of the mineral, action that it said, is illegal. For at least one decade, members of the delinquency have been devoted to extract in an illicit way, iron of the mines of municipalities of Aquila, Coahuayana, Arteaga, Aguililla and Lazaro Cardenas, what caused the dissent of the villagers who for that reason and for the insecurity they conformed self-defense groups.   
             
The governor of Sonora monopolizes water 
The party of PT in Sonora it denounced that to the prey that governor Guillermo Padres sent to build in his ranch ‘Pozo Nuevo’ -in the Arizpe municipality - it stores 10 million cubic meters of water at this time, enough to endow of liquid during two and a half months to Hermosillo (State’s capital), and that the construction of a curtain of that prey would have cost more than 11.3 million dollars, when the leader declared -in patrimonial documents - that the property had a value of 333.33 thousand dollars. The politicians of the PT gave a document with date 4 of July of 2011, sent by engineer Luis Flores Vasquez, with professional identification 1515158, where Guillermo and Miguel Padres Elias certify before it would notice it public number 60 from Cananea that the Pozo Nuevo ranch had a value of 393 thousand 38 dollars and that this document was part of Guillermo Padres' patrimonial declaration like senator, when it was president of the Commission of Agriculture. September 5, 2014, in the ninth ordinary congress of the PT, the delegation Sonora, PT subjected to this congress a sentence one where it is denounced the governor of Sonora Guillermo Padres Elias (GPE) for “cheats and corrupt."  
 
The congress agreed to subject on the part of the parliamentary fraction of PT, so much of the Senate as in the Congress, an agreement point to integrate a commission legislative that it  investigates if governor Guillermo Padres and its brother Miguel uses his children smaller than age like facade to make money, and that in his case they demonstrate how the ranch of its property passed of July 5, 2011 of having a value of 393 thousand 38 dollars of illegal construction -without any permission the prey it was made in the governor's terrestrial property - to have a curtain of hydraulic prey of 11 million 33 thousand dollars and an established sawing of walnuts of 350 hectares with an approximate value of 17.5 millions dollars that they add in total 28 millions 83 thousand dollars. With this fraud to the nation and deviation of resources that he makes the governor will have the possibility to see it waxed by many years, although knowing to our authorities is a politician that enjoys impunity and corruption and he will live many years to count it in some village of France, located in some Swiss chalet, with a panoramic of fable.  
 
Ombudsman of the state demands to responsible for contamination 
The state Commission of human rights (CEDH, with theirs initials in Spanish) it interposed a penal demand and a civil demand against who is responsible for the contamination that affects to the Sonora river, in damage of more than 22 thousand inhabitants of seven municipalities of Sonora State. Raul Ramirez Ramirez, president of the CEDH, gave to know that the accusations intervened in the delegation of the PGR in Hermosillo, last Friday (09/05/14), and this Monday they were ratified (09/08/14). “The accusation is for omission crimes, for the damage, and it is necessary to remember the following thing that what happened was for supervision lack, but also for negligence of the mine", he said in press conference. In accordance with the ombudsman, “there are enough test elements to credit the negligence; that was the cause so that the spill was given. Group Mexico had the obligation of watching over the construction of the prey of having leached (with its three pools in the event of accident that never made  it), and of the one that spilled out 40 millions of liters of toxic in August past, and it is guarantor and directly responsible", although it says cynically that it rained that it was a strange company the one in charge of the works of the pool of having leached, and GM took a long time in acting criminally since in spite of the accusation of its spilled toxics it continued sending to the river other fifteen days more its poisons to the adjacent river to the mine, for what poured its poison to the river two months (August - September), it was denounced by the legislators that flew over its facilities where it had deposited its leached. 
 
After interviewing with agricultural producers and cattlemen of the area, their losses already ascend to more than 133.3 million dollars, and he explains that the CNDH, so much state and national they can emit recommendations and accusations with base in the reformation of 2011, where it points that they have the possibility to interpose penal accusations, due to the economic affectations, of health and productivity. Also, the governor said that the federal government left alone to his administration as for assisting the emergency in the Sonora river. In interview broadcasting, leader GPE considered that the executive of the PROFEPA, Guillermo Haro Belchez, it should give up for not having advanced the worst contamination in Mexico, what maintains in emergency to the inhabitants of seven municipalities of Sonora. As for the accusation that in the Pozo Nuevo ranch, located in the community of Bacanuchi, Arizpe, stores water 4 million approximately and more. The governor defended and he argues that it is the liquid that spilled out freely, to take advantage and to avoid floods in its property. He sustained without to move that the National Law of Waters contemplates the construction of this preys without carrying out steps before the National Commission of the Water, and the other federal government's dependences allowed him to build and to leave without water to this whole community for its selfish, corrupt interest and coward. The federation should send it directly to the jail for robbery to the nation, to deviate federal-state resources, to act as a not well comic one and he lies cynically.
