Wrong and corruptive State

México. -   After Several communities of the municipality of Uruapan - Capacuaro, San Lorenzo, Caltzontzion, Angahuan and Corupo - demanded yesterday (14/9/14), the exit of their lands of the Rural Force, corporation integrated by the presidential commissioner from Michoacan, Alfredo Castillo Cervantes (ACC), with ancient integrating of groups of self-defense. The inhabitants indicated that members of that body have various assignment abuses, demanded that is them permitted be defended according to their uses and habits and threatened with expelling to the "rural force" with the weapons if they don´t retire and they leave of their lands.  It is not this first accusation neither the first dissent with the Rural Force. Already the past June 6 of inhabitants from the municipalities of Apatzingan and La Huacana presented before the State commission of the Human Rights Watch complaints against these groups by improper use of the public force, illegal detention and theft. 23 of July, Villa Madero inhabitants were expressed against the extortions and authority abuses that attributed to integrating of the Rural Force; makes hardly four days, in La Ruana, municipality of Buenavista Tomatlan, merchants and producing of lemon denounced that they were victims of quotas collection by elements of the corporation headed by Luis Antonio Torres Gonzalez (LTG), call Simon, El Americano.                                                                                                  The American was investigated makes some weeks by his presumed appearance in a video to the side of Servando Gomez, nickname La Tuta, attribution that after was denied by the authorities. In other Tierra Caliente localities has been indicated that between "rural men" are found ancient ‘templarios gentlemen’ infiltrated. It is meaningful and concern you that now those signs out and dissent are extended to the Tarasco Plateau, inasmuch as various peoples of that second zone have been organized, according to their/its uses and mores, in community policemen and this happened even before emerged the Michoacan’s self-defenses, and the presence of the Rural Force there it is, consequently, unnecessary, inasmuch as would give cause for an auspicious climate for confrontations armed with the inhabitants. In general terms, the by heads against the corporation created by ACC - presidential commissioner - reinforce the perception of the fact that Michoacan’s conflict has been pretended, more not solved, and of the fact that the Rural force, far from be converted into factor of peace, stability and legality, it can be in process of be constituted in an armed gang more, from among the many that already operate in the entity: state and federal policemen, army, self-defenses, community policemen and also indeed, the criminal organizations that be far of have been suppressed.    They are fought by the control of strategic places The ex leaders of groups of self-defense Hipolito Mora Chavez (HMC), of the tenure of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, known as La Ruana, municipality of Buenavista, Tomatlan and Luis Antonio Torres, the American, chief of the call group H3, they will be processed prison for have headed the confrontation of the past 16 of December, in the one which died 11 persons, informed the commissioner for the safety and development of Michoacan, ACC. In his zone of control of HMC were assaulted by the American - LTG - with assault weapons, pickup trucks pick up armored and making show the paramilitary of his be able of fire and much more military of part of the American that of part of the directing of the owners union of truck farm of lemons, and decided to liquidate to the group that commands the HMC, owner of orchards of lemon. In press conference, the federal official emphasized that the two former self-defenses have as limit date to be presented before the judge of the cause until this 26 of December; of the contrary will be the federal authority those which will go by them. He said that before the request of the governing Salvador Jara Guerrero, the federal government determined that the Mexican Army and the Federal Policeman will assume the total control of the safety in Apatzingan, La Ruana and La Mira places.  The foregoing also because the integrating of the Policeman Rural Force and the former self-defenses "did not know to observe the institutions".  The official commissioner warned that "all people that is found navy accomplishing labors of self-defense will be jailed as of this moment". Emphasized that what occurs in the three mentioned sites is not a public safety problem, but a topic of social conflict, because in these three points there is no a peak of the delinquency, "but rather we are before the fight of groups that are disputed the control of these places that they are strategic for other type of activities". In so much, in Mexico City, sources of the State Judicial Power informed that a judge in penal matter from Michoacan State released in recent hours at least 12 apprehension orders against ex policemen and self-defenses involved in great shots on Tuesday (12/16/14), of the last week in La Ruana, municipality from Buenavista, Tomatlan, that let 11 dead, between them the corpse of the son of Hipolito Mora.  Although the American had already threatened the junior of Mora when not receiving his crop of lemons, for what already had married case with the Mora’s son. The Castillo commissioner made emphasis in which in spite of the advances in safety matter, exist groups that they have not understood the new stability conditions that requires the entity for its development. "Concretely there are groups of disguised self-defenses interest that fight the control of Apatzingan, and other group that are disputed of the leadership of their region, other type of objectives in the region of La Ruana or in the control of the minerals managing in the tenure of La Mira".  From on Tuesday (12/23/14), the Mexican army and the Federal Policeman installed review filter in the exits of Cuatro Caminos, Aguililla, and Buenavista. Military commands, of the Federal and representative Policeman of the ex rural policemen identified with the ex leader of the self-defenses Hipolito Mora, were gathered this noon in the municipal palace to arrive to an agreement that permit the eviction of the mayoralty that maintain stopped from on Sunday in the tomorrow to demand the detention of leaders templarios as La Tuta. The leader of the union of lemon cultivators, commented that it is quiet and knows that the American acted by own initiative, since 15 of December let of belonging to the Rural Force. Transcended that followers of The American that let of belonging to the Rural Force, delivered the weapons just as HMC and from today on were committed to be presented before the judge, though yet they have not defined if in Apatzingan or in Uruapan City. It is known that followers of the American have closed Cuatro Caminos - Apatzingan, and Apatzingan - Buenavista in demand of the exit of the federal forces of the region to insist that they were not responsible of the confrontation. In the same way, the referred facts reaffirm said what is in its moment, in the sense of the fact that to the governmental omission in public safety matter was added a set of improvised or rushed official actions: the recognition to the self-defenses force was given the company with some doubtful legality leaders, and after a unwarranted persecution against directing several and groups. With the conformation of the Rural Force was repudiated by far communities. In the middle of that triggering contradictory, the government let of accomplishing, however, the one which would have had to be their principal task: the full neutralization of the criminal factions through the police measures combination, economic, social and political, in the context of the respect to the human rights and the restitution of the state to right in Michoacan. Finally the commissioner there have assignment serious defects upon supporting meetings with personages of the organized delinquency, is found would be of the legal framework, lacks constitutional sustenance and violates the sovereignty of Michoacan, furthermore is added the failure to solve the conflicting safety situation.   (La Jornada, politica, p.p. 2-7, December 27, 2014).
