Videgaray  Minister's magic

Mexico. -   The minister Luis Videgaray raises of their magic hat a rabbit that turned out to be hare for 2015, according to the one which by means of the oil coverings from passed November, “it is guaranteed to a hundred percent “ the entrance coming from the black gold. But from November 13 it was made in front of the collapse of prices and this way “to shield” the public finances, but when making this announcement all world they lifted the brow, already the unsuccessful strategy from origin is not enough. This magic covering only covers 26 percent of the national production and 57 percent of the dear exports for next year, in accordance with that proposed by the Executive and approved by the Congress. In economic politics’ general approaches for 2015 the fixed federal government in 2 millions 400 daily barrels the export platform. Per year, the first concept adds 876 million barrels and the second 398 millions, in closed numbers. Originally they estimated a price of 82 dollars for export barrel, it to reduce it later to 81 dollars and finally to green notes. Of entrance that cutting of 82 to 79 dollars the barrel implied to stop to capture 753.86 million dollars, but if it varied the price, and the Executive and Legislative agreed it, it  didn't make it the production volume neither that of export.     For what they should consider the universe of 876 and 398 millions, in the oil coverings, if it is that in fact the pretense was to guarantee 100 percent of the entrance coming from the petroleum approved in the Law of Revenues of the Federation for 2015. The unsuccessful magician's coverings just consider 228 million barrels however only for everything 2015, what it means, and the equivalent one to 95 days of production (3 months) and 209 days of export (7 months), and the entrance that it lacks, where is it? The not well comic one come to first minister, announced that the Mexican government summed up the oil coverings, by means of “43 operations in the international derived markets” and this way “to protect a price of 76.4 dollars for barrel". For this reason were paid it 697.8 million dollars. This way, it detailed, “they have covered 228 million barrels that it is what corresponds to the net risk, the federal government's equivalent exhibition", (Carlos Fernandez, Mexico SA).    For those dates the Mexican barrel of export was quoted in 70.60 dollars, and the previous day in 73.12. A month later, such a price had collapsed to 51.62 dollars, but the government's spokesmen with its cheerful bills they maintain in its statement: "there is not problem, because we are covered", and the public finances “don't run risk some". However, to the collapse of the export prices they sink two factors: the internal fall of the production and non growth of the imports of raw on the part of The States, the main client is the black gold from Mexico. According to ‘La Jornada’, “with the fall registered in the price of the Mexican petroleum that has decreased in half in six months, the covering hired by the federal government to guarantee the oil revenues of 2015, and with this a third of the federal budget is financed, it will be insufficient, for what the government will have to reduce his public expense, to increase taxes or to increase the indebtedness". The Center of Economic and Budgetary Investigation, in voice of Fernando Ramones, estimates that “with the current prices and the covering type hired by the government, 37 percent of the oil revenues would only be collected estimated in the Law of Revenues of the Federation 2015. This way it is the doubt from where 63 remaining percent that seeks to collect the LIF 2015 will come". (Israel Rodriguez and Susana Gonzalez).          The coup d’état for the federal government  They already take several half a decade that the federal governments that arrive at the official residence of Los Pinos residence have been dismantling the national Congress emanated by the Constitution, and it has been implemented by formal powers of the State, and however they are not the representative of the Mexican nation. In this case one of the institutions that in 1915 it was rescued in Veracruz and later it was consolidated in the Constitution of 1917 it was the municipality that at the moment is rejected by the federation when being kidnapped by the cartel of the drugs. The reformations that are in process proposed by the federal Executive have two lamentable points: In the first place it will take off the control from the public force to the city councils, so that the State government imposes its opinion; and the other point is that it is authorized to the federation that discretionally intervenes with its police power repressing and ignoring the voters that expressed its will in the polling-booths. If some day the town of Mexico has the power by means of the democracy, the city council would have the enough and necessary power, because the municipal government has his roots from the time before Cortes by means of the calpullis that were the organization of the indigenous towns where the indigenous traditions gave abilities in the advice to the old men that were more experienced, and to the youths the control of his town.     The concept of the municipal institution comes from Europe when the Romans colonized the Iberian peninsula and it rooted in the commune that guaranteed the freedom of all the inhabitants of the free municipality and sovereign.  In America, Hernan Cortes founded the Villa Rica de la Veracruz having an independent authority of the governor from Cuba, Diego Velazquez. In Mexico they were base from the New Spain to the being the villages and cities so that the inhabitants in open town councils could solve the common problems, to defend of the English pirates, hostile towns and to impart justice in the created courts and administered by the neighbors of the towns. Our history has been and it is very difficult that contrary to the South of America, there is we have played us to live here; the devil bequeathed us to the neighbors of the north.  The city council of the capital was one of the precursors in the history of Independence in 1808, when it remembered in the assembly of the city council that before the French invasion for Napoleon Bonaparte to Spain, the native mother, now the town assumed its sovereignty, (Bernardo Batiz).     Our city councils have been attacked and delimited by central powers emanated by the Aztec power and later from the center of Mexico for the Spaniards they have been jealous, envious, and scornful toward the strange ones northern and southerners from Mexico. In the inkwell two cases come: in the New Spain around the second half of the XVIII century with the Bourbon reformation imposed the intendancies like authorities; in the viceroyalty with the tribunals of ‘La Acordada’ terrible and bloody; and later with Porfirio Diaz's dictatorship that generated the political headquarters with the militias of the wild ‘rural guards’ of sad memory. Now with the government of EPN - PAN that it bought the necessary votes to arrive to the power and that it was surrounded by the taking of the power with a street battle of the town that refused to believe that the authoritarianism and the corruption have been imposed another time in the federal government. For what the historical errors have been created in turn, and summed up with 'La Gendarmeria', and masquerading of federal police. They return the bloody outrages another time, violating the article 115 of the Great Letter, to the beginning of the article 5º that is not respected. The structural reformations as it has always happened from the Colony they have been imposed without debate and without opinion of the town when rejecting the referendum, giving as a result that we don't have the democratic system, it breaks up with the republican principles, of free municipality; they prepare us for an authoritarian and bloody government, transforming into a State without sovereignty and subject to the interests of the economic liberalism.
