Upon privatizing to Pemex brings death and misery

México. -  The privatizations what is only that bring is death and tragedy. And a graphic example is the explosion occurred 20 of April in the petrochemical complex of Pajaritos Oil in Veracruz, where lost the life 32 worker and more than 100 resulted injured, supported Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO).  From the oil port of Salina Cruz, the Tabasco politician detailed that the petrochemical plant of Pajaritos Oil was privatized, "almost given" to the banker Antonio del Valle Ruiz. To the owner of Mexichem added, "it was made to them easy that of the two working thousand 200 working that only let to 700, neglected the maintenance and safety area, and therefore occurred the explosion". Of Salina Cruz, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador continued the tour by Tehuantepec. Then, in Juchitan, it criticized the position of the leaders of the Worker Coalition, Peasant, "nothing else entertained us and finally were bead with the corruptive of the PRD; we only we say that be of left does not mean to read to Marx, but not to betray to the people". Furthermore it assured the previous capital chief, that to him headline of the Secretariat of the SEP, and their chiefs are bothered because Morena destines half of 19 million 45 thousand dollars that obtains from the prerogatives for the foundation  from free public universities where governs. The Ministry Nuno says that they are schools ducky, but is forgotten to them, or it does not know, that the director of the medicine University in Tlalpan is the scientific Jorge Alcocer, who finishes from receiving the National Sciences Premium. The director of the Engineering school is Javier Jimenez Espriu, who was directing of the Engineering School of UNAM, he added. On the other hand the PROFEPA, institution of the State that is devoted to protect to the environmental closed of temporary way the plant Chloride 3, operated by the company Mexichem, by the substances flight dangerous chemistries during the, accident of the past 20 of April. The federal dependency ordered to withdraw the dangerous residues that were generated during the explosion and that is accomplished a study to evaluate the damages to the plant and to the environmental. The inspectors of Profepa determined that in the zone exists high pollution. According to the leaves of safety that are handled in petrochemical industry, the hydrochloric acid and the one, two dichloromethane are considerate substances highly carcinogenic and there are records of cases of mammary and pulmonary cancer of the workers. The personnel of the company must confine to a sure site all the substances that remained in their distribution lines and the contaminated materials so that they will be handled and destroyed by companies certify by the Semarnat. The Profepa made known that it ordered safety measures and corrective to the plant Chlorides 3, since in the actions for the control of the event were generated dangerous  chemical residues  that was found in process equipment as hydrochloric acid, ethane, ethylene, chloride catalyst cupric and 1, 2 dichloromethane. Referred that all these substances have characteristic of dangerousness and Mexichem it must accomplish a study of the impact of the explosion and to present a program of remediation of the interior and foreign of their facilities. Indicated that there are possibilities of the fact that the materials and dangerous residues generated in the fire could be have displaced in the external and internal part of the complex. The closing industry will not be lifted by Profepa until the company comply with the measures that they were ordered to them, but it does not prevent that work personal of Petrochemical Mexican of Vinyl neither that enter other authorities. According to reports of Material Safety Date Sheet (MSDS, by their initials in English), all the substances that were issued to the environmental are dangerous, but they do not have the same toxicity level. The chloride cupric is considered a very toxic substance for the health of the human; "highly toxic" in all the chain trophic or for the vegetation and "high toxicity" in the middle aquatic. In the event of fire can be formed toxic chlorine steams and acid hydrochloric. There was flight of this last substance after the explosion and was noticeable, since is a yellow gas, and it was controlled with water. Mexichem it must explain to the Profepa if the used water was sent to graves of be confined within complex or release to the creek Teapa, affluent of the river Coatzacoalcos. At world level has been observed high mortality by lung cancer in working exposed to hydrochloric and Sulphuric acid mists. The most dangerous substance is 1, 2 dichloromethane and is manufactured by the reaction of the chlorine with ethane in presence of a chlorine catalyst with ethylene. This alone substance is used to produce chloride of polyvinyl and their mobilization must be confined of rigorous way, therefore they had not been presented flights of the same and has information on the pollution that generates. 1, 2 dichloromethane is decomposed upon heating it intensely and upon burning produces toxic and corrosive smokes, including hydrogen chloride and phosgene. "It should have confined all the water that is used to combat the flight or fire, since is highly corrosive". The MSDS indicates that it is considered a substance highly flamable with acute toxicity, but it is considered carcinogenic type 1B and there are tests of the fact that it can cause cancer to the human if the conditions are combined.  Tailor booth The balances of the economic crisis that we suffer continue producing negative effects for most of the Mexicans and of way labeled for the workers. For those which we produced the wealth are imposed us low wages, drastic personnel clippings, growing unemployment, companies close, shortage of sources of work that offer well remunerated employment, clippings budgets them in health and education and health; the insecurity comes beating to the families and to the workers, and as have followed being imposed the circumstances of place and time, there are few perspectives of reaching improvements in our current situation; on the contrary, this tends to be aggravated. The government far from to outline exits that promote the inventiveness of the Mexicans, is devoted to apply measures designed from the foreign that bet on the companies destruction property companies of the state more important of the country, as Pemex and CFE; the leaders have delivered huge area extensions so that a few mining transnational companies exploit our resources, poison and destroy our biodiversity; they have underhand the illicit enrichment of a handful of potentates, that far from to invest in the country have directed their earnings toward the calls fiscal paradises.  As case denounced of the #panama-papers, it devoted to wash money, to evade taxes, and to speculate with the earnings that these have obtained bleeding to the workers and being carried without measured the natural resources. These entrepreneurs have shown that they do not have country, therefore they do not deserve be Mexican, they have been converted into global financial criminals. The workers by Mexico we will follow insisting that is needed a course change in their economic model depredator, geared toward a system that watch all over the interest of the Mexicans and not of the one percent; the government not can follow to him/her/you betting to the models that dial the directors that come us of the IMF, of the World Bank and of the ODCE. Said instances do not observe nations and their sovereignties, of high-priority way, protect the interest of the great international financial capital. Equally it is rejected the company by the federal government of international treaties as the treaty Transpacific (TTP) or the TISA that only are guided to ransack to without free the natural resources of the country.
