Technically we are in crisis

Mexico. -   We are in an economic crisis although technically it is not fulfilled the rule to diagnose a recession: a reduction of the GDP during three serial trimesters. It is said that the calculation of the GDP is not good to determine the real economy of the families and people; it is a macroeconomic indicator that “doesn't have to do directly with the country neither with the Mexicans.  We need to observe that it is passing with the production of wealth, the value of the goods and services, people's well-being". One has that the population's impoverishment and the reduction of their consumption capacity one comes feeling from last year. To the hole of the public finances for the low oil prices add the deterioration of the exchange rate, the fall in the sales of the self-service stores and in the consumption of gasoline. We have not probably played bottom but, “it is probable that after the elections the strong cuttings begin to the social expense. They are playing with the times". At the moment the cuttings were gingerly thought so that the government didn't leave harmed electorally.     It is also affirmed that the efforts of Treasury and the Bank of Mexico to control the devaluation of the peso, of agreement with economist Julio Bolitvinik, far from protecting the real economy, they try to contain the foreign capitals that have investments with a higher yield that that of The States, at the moment they will stay this way since the Federal Reservation it will go up their rates this year. When being devaluated the peso, the investors lose, and this “although the officials don't understand it, it is good for the economy that the peso is devaluated", because our currency overvaluation is at the moment, it should be quoted at least in 20 pesos for dollar. "It would recover this way the lost international competitiveness", the wages would be more competitive, and the prices to the tourism would be lower. A solution to solve the crisis would be: to stop to depend on the petroleum to finance to the State and to follow the international standard. "To finance to the state with taxes, but to those that more has and more can pay them". That on one hand and to lower the wages of the high officials, “to remove them prerogatives, to make an even cutting of 40 percent", (la Jornada Enrique Galvan).     Anything for users   The phone giant AT&T has made three movements in Mexico. First it sold their actions of America Movil, later it bought the phone of cellulars Iusacell of Ricardo Salinas Pliego (TV Azteca), and lastly it announces that Nextel acquires. This last one corporate it is the third supplier in users' number after Telcel and Telefonica Moviestar. According to the information this American giant has known how to move his money since he received 5 thousand 900 million dollars for the sale of their actions of America Mobile property of Carlos Slim, later he paid 2 thousand 500 millions for Iusacell and it will invest a thousand 875 millions for Nextel. It still has a capital surplus to invest it in their expansion in Mexico. The operation should be approved by the Federal Institute of Telecommunications and for the court of Bankruptcies of New York, since NII Holdings (owner of Nextel) it is in process of bankruptcy. After being known the notice, the actions of America Movil in the Mexican Stock- exchanges fell 2.4 percent, to 16.86 pesos for action. Perhaps the investors see that it already has in front two powerful competitors: Telefonica Moviestar and AT&T. In this way like the business of the companies and the consumers are moving, very well thank you.     We have been bombarded by useless and pernicious publicity about the reformation of telecommunications that will benefit to the Mexicans and all this advertising garbage that we will receive a reduced collection of long distance it is mendacious, and some citizens have been calling to their suppliers to know how much they will pay from now on. This whole repeated announcement the consumers are taking a great surprise: everything will continue equally. You are a compliment and honest worker that you have hired the internet service at some time and it is mentioned in the publicity packages that they offer “until” certain access speed and still others have received invoices altered by this service that they say they have increased from 10 to 12 megabits. However alone you will receive much less, because it happens that they give you 8 or 6 less than the package, A thing is access and other the swinging service. But if you will claim they tell you that in the contract it says until, therefore it is much less, depending on the state of your line. It is supposed that SCT and the Profeco will force to the supplying companies to guarantee the minimum of speed and continuity of the service, because we receive a great quantity of power cuts in the service a month, and this expert can only check it. It consults to your supplier: Time Warner, perhaps obtain something better than the national companies.     Edomex style is applied  Rivers Piters moved politically more attentive to the desires of the tenant of Los Pinos residence that to its political organization PRD, such a situation generates suspicions and they say that it explores the political land with the intention of being postulated by the PRI, trying to build a multiple candidacy in Guerrero, and its presence in the Secretary of Government supports the speculations. In having summarized bear in mind this political demon it pays the precariousness that reigns in the political institute of the Aztec sun, because the applicants to the gubernatorial none has victory possibility in that entity. Carlos Navarrete, the directing maximum of this party says that the pretense of Guerrero's citizens when refusing to collaborate and of impeding the elections it is equal to a “soft” coup d’état. Something that bothers the responsible citizens and social activists is Felipe Calderon's action (FC) and Vicente Fox that they have manifested their feeling against the Venezuelan president. Nicolas Maduro (NM) accused him to FC that he has nexuses with the drug dealers and these finance him his diverse activities and it pays that said by NM his scholarship of Oxford, neither Vicente Fox obtained it (as manager of the Coca Cola). To FC they were accumulated the personal attacks when being reached by the news that is the main of the accused for the French Florence Cassez of having caused her serious damages starting from the “scenery unaware to the reality” by means of which processed it as kidnapper, (La Jornada, Julio Hernandez).    Calderon and their paramilitary vice-president Genaro Garcia Luna main producing of police homemade movies; one of the main operators, Luis Cardenas Palomino;  former federal procurator of justice, Daniel Cabeza de Vaca; to senator Roberto Gil Zuhart, and to the journalists Carlos Loret of Mola and Pablo Reinah, together with the company Televisa Co that it diffused the assembly. Another topic of Calderon their little alignment with Gustavo Madero's decree that maintains it excluded and due to this the Mrs. Margarita Zavala she has few possibilities to leave elect for some political position. But in the blue and white political party they throw heaps of mud to the face some and other, when peeling the control of that political institute for what they seek to be awarded severe punishments by dirty game in the final of the Super Bowl. Calderon had among its hosts to the eternal candidate of any political position that Calderon always proposed, and this is playing an assembly of humorous farce, because Cordero was captured in an image of a chain of American television where the final of American football was played. The fantastic candidate met with Juan Ignacio Zavala and the dynamic duet they were disguised as patriots, and simultaneously missing in this event the last period of sessions of the federal legislature which if it was matter of labor clock check it, responding to the questions with lack of sport chivalry and any intellectual reaction.
