Venezuela burns

National The undesirable involvement in Mexico Venezuela burns By: Carlos Damian February 18, 2014 Mexico has loosened in Latin America its inheritance of Fascist and right-wing country México. - Miguel Rodriguez Torres is the Interior Venezuelan minister (MRT), he said yesterday (13/2/14) that the bloody happened confrontations last Wednesday in their country, those that left three corps and dozens of wounded, were untied by groups of had infiltrated trained in Mexico, in the picture of a denominated plan ‘Mexicana party'. According to the official, between 2010 and 2012 they were carried out meetings inside of and outside of Venezuela to agree the training of groups “to generate chaos and violence, and some of those encounters will have taken place in our country". According to MRT, the confrontations of the eve happened after several days of student manifestations to protest for the insecurity, the inflation and the lack of basic products were consequence of “actions of character of conspiracy” drifted by organizations of “extreme right." The pointed out of the interior politics' responsible Venezuelan can introduce an undesirable factor of tension in the bilateral relationships between Mexico and a nation it mates Latin American. It is imperative to take a short cut and to dissipate to the brevity that perspective; for it is necessary that both governments maintain a flowing communication and of good will and that both pawn the determination of clarifying, and in their case, to disable the possible presence in the national territory of initiatives destabilizers. It is necessary, in any event, to prevent that the episode is translated in a deterioration of the official bilateral bonds, which were about to be canceled during Vicente Fox government and they remained, in that of Felipe Calderon in a tone that it can´t hide ill will, in good measured by the unjustifiable decision of the second published Wikileaks, and such an event was documented in the cables filtered of the Department of State, and this filtered event and published by this Blog it was a decision to rake the differences between the Palace of Miraflores and the American White House. Mexican crash groups "The happened violent facts this Wednesday (2/13/14) they only had a political premeditation; they wanted to defeat a legitimate government, aided in the genuineness and in the constitutionality", he president Nicolas Maduro affirmed this Thursday. It sustained that it faces a plan “preconceived” from Washington to overthrow it. Plus even, their government denounced that in the confrontations they participated groups trained in Mexico and financed among others by the one he is undersecretary of state of The States, Otto Reich. The minister of the interior MRT, supposes that the Mexican party in search of to be creating confusion, and “to take to the country to the civil war ", he adds that “one of the meetings was to prepare hitters' groups in Mexico", around the month of October, 2010. In fact the violent facts and after several days of student manifestations against the insecurity, the inflation and the lack of basic products, they were acts of “character conspirator” and organized by Gustavo Tovar Arroyo, to who described as “radical and Fascist” and it located to the front of the Human and Liberate ONG. It assured that these encounters have been financed by the banker Eligio Cedeño and the mercenary Otto Reich. Among the assistants to the meetings mentioned to Gaby Arellano that, MRT indicated, “it raked” the protest of this week, as well as Vilcar Hernandez, Yon Goicochea and the metropolitan mayor from Caracas David Smolansky, among other right plotters. United States refused to have interference in the internal politics of Venezuela. The spokeswoman of the Department of State, Marie Harf, rejected the “conspiracy theories and rumors." The political crisis of Venezuela Beyond the bilateral environment, it is clear that the Venezuelan political crisis is developed with the backdrop of the persistent pursuit, from times of Hugo Chavez, of a Venezuelan and international right that is not willing to admit that it continues and the process of social revolution is deepened and of fight sovereignty begun by the deceased leader and continued by its successor. Far from expressing their dissatisfaction for institutional and democratic beds, the Venezuelan oligarchy has made systematic use of the violence, the illegality and the destabilize like means to defend its interests and historical privileges, and for them they are true the accusations that link to the recent manifestations with conspiracy to overthrow the government of Nicolas Maduro, current president from Venezuela. The government's performance on the other hand, it has not been exempt of excesses, especially verbal, and the authorities have shown ability lack, but they are resolved to make in front of the expressions of anti-government dissatisfaction. It is significant that the Venezuelan government's accusations are sustained by the diffusion of an audio among the former boss of the Military House of Venezuela Ivan Caratu Molina and the former ambassador of that country in Colombia Fernando Gerbasi, in which both characters affirm, 24 hours before the facts of last Wednesday that tomorrow a very similar scenario will come to that of April 11", in allusion to the intent suddenly coupé d’état happened in April of 2002, and this it was with back and ignominious not well hidden support of The States, this situation moved away the government's former president Hugo Chavez for some hours. On the other hand, it is in persistent pursuit the government for the Venezuelan right against the government of Maduro, and you confirm the destabilization pattern and oligarchical coupé d’état that he comes affecting to diverse governments and Latin American countries from 2002, with the referred temporary deposition and president's Hugo Chavez military kidnapping. That pattern repeated in smaller scale in Bolivia in 2008; it achieved later one year to subvert the democratic order in Honduras; it reproduced, without success, in the police rebellion against Rafael Correa in Ecuador, in 2010; it got in 2012, the overthrow of Fernando Lugo's government in Paraguay, with a blow to the state disguised of political trial, and it has been expressed recently in Argentina with the managerial lunge, agro-exporter and financial that the government of Cristina Fernandez of Kirchner faces it. After a tense calm after the violent incidents happened the eve in the center and east of the capital that three corps left, 66 included wounded 17 military and policemen, with a balance of 69 detainees according to the general district attorney, Luisa Ortega. In opposition in the capital some students rejected in peaceful form, as well as a ‘chavistas’ handful responded to the Maduro president's convocation with the watchword: "United Venezuela against the fascism", and Venezuela has responded to the leader of right opponent Leopoldo Lopez and the gang of opposed criminals to the government, with patience to the intent coupé d’état of “civil paramilitary”. The subversion of the institutional democratic in the countries that have undertaken political projects of progressive and sovereign court can be extremely expensive, even for the national and strange interests that impel it, in the measure in that it bears the risk of being generating null governability scenarios and uncontrollable violence. It is pertinent, in sum that the international community demands the Venezuelan opponents that cease in its intent to subvert a régime democratically elect, have been this way for narrow margin, as the one of Maduro, and that they express its dissents for the strictly institutional and legal beds. The Venezuelan government, on the other hand, it should understand that one of the healthiest effects in the Bolivar’s Revolution has been the consolidation of a democracy in the one that, beyond the intents destabilizers, they exist besides the oppositions promoted by desires inferences, legitimate political and social disagreements. And that the paper of the authorities is to recognize those differences and to spread the necessary bridges to solve them. (La Jornada, politica, p.p. 2 - 22, February 14, 2014).

Venezuela arde

Nacional El involucramiento indeseable de México Venezuela arde Por: Carlos Damián 18 de febrero, 2014 México ha desatado en América Latina su herencia de país fascista y derechista México. - El ministro venezolano del Interior Miguel Rodríguez Torres (MRT), dijo ayer (2/13/14) que los cruentos enfrentamientos ocurridos el miércoles pasado en su país, los que dejaron tres muertos y decenas de heridos, fueron desatados por grupos de infiltrados entrenados en México, en el marco de un plan denominado ‘fiesta mexicana’. A decir del funcionario, entre 2010 y 2012 se realizaron reuniones dentro y fuera de Venezuela para acordar el entrenamiento de grupos “para generar caos y violencia, y algunos de esos encuentros habrán tenido lugar en nuestro país”. Según MRT, las confrontaciones de la víspera, ocurridas después de varios días de manifestaciones estudiantiles para protestar por la inseguridad, la inflación y la falta de productos básicos, fueron consecuencia de “acciones de carácter conspirativo” planeadas por organizaciones de “extrema derecha”. El señalamiento del responsable venezolano de la política interior puede introducir una indeseable factor de tensión en las relaciones bilaterales entre México y una nación hermana latinoamericana. Resulta imperativo atajar y disipar a la brevedad esa perspectiva; para ello es necesario que ambos gobiernos mantengan una comunicación fluida y de buena voluntad y que ambos empeñen la determinación de esclarecer, y en su caso, desactivar la posible presencia en el territorio nacional de iniciativas desestabilizadoras. Es necesario, en todo caso, impedir que el episodio se traduzca en un deterioro de los vínculos bilaterales oficiales, los cuales estuvieron a punto de ser cancelados durante el gobierno de Vicente Fox y permanecieron, en el de Felipe Calderón en un tono de inocultable animadversión, en buena medida por la injustificable decisión del segundo wikileaks publicado, y tal evento fue documentado en los cables del Departamento de Estado filtrado, y este evento filtrado y publicado por este Blog fue una decisión para atizar las diferencias entre el Palacio de Miraflores y la Casa Blanca estadounidense. Grupos de choque mexicanos “Los hechos violentos ocurridos este miércoles (13/2/14) sólo tenían una intencionalidad política; querían derrotar a un gobierno legítimo, amparado en la legitimidad y en la constitucionalidad”, afirmó este jueves el presidente Nicolás Maduro. Sostuvo que enfrenta un plan “preconcebido” desde Washington para derrocarlo. Más aun, su gobierno denunció que en los enfrentamientos participaron grupos entrenados en México y financiados entre otros por el subsecretario de estado de Estados Unidos, Otto Reich. El ministro del interior MRT, supone que la fiesta mexicana “busca llevar al país a la guerra civil”, añade que “una de las reuniones fue preparar grupos de golpeadores en México”, alrededor del mes de octubre de 2010. En realidad los hechos violentos y tras varios días de manifestaciones estudiantiles contra la inseguridad, la inflación y la falta de productos básicos, fueron actos de “carácter conspirativo” y organizados por Gustavo Tovar Arroyo, a quien calificó de “radical y fascista” y ubicó al frente de la ONG Humano y Libre. Aseguró que estos encuentros han sido financiados por el banquero Eligio Cedeño y el mercenario Otto Reich. Entre los asistentes a las reuniones mencionó a Gaby Arellano que, MRT indicó, “atizó” la protesta de esta semana, así como Vilcar Hernández, Yon Goicochea y el alcalde metropolitano caraqueño David Smolansky, entre otros conspiradores de derecha. Estados Unidos negó tener injerencia en la política interna de Venezuela. La vocera del Departamento de Estado, Marie Harf, rechazó las “teorías de conspiración y rumores”. La crisis política de Venezuela Más allá del ámbito bilateral, es claro que la crisis política venezolana se desarrolla con el telón de fondo del acoso persistente, desde tiempos de Hugo Chávez, de una derecha venezolana e internacional que no está dispuesta a admitir que continúe y se profundice el proceso de revolución social y de lucha soberanista iniciados por el fallecido mandatario y continuados por su sucesor. Lejos de expresar su descontento por cauces institucionales y democráticos, la oligarquía venezolana ha hecho uso sistemático de la violencia, la ilegalidad y la desestabilización como medios para defender sus intereses e históricos privilegios, y por ellos resultan verosímiles las acusaciones que vinculan a las recientes manifestaciones con conjura para derrocar al gobierno de Nicolás Maduro, actual presidente de Venezuela. La actuación del gobierno por su parte, no ha estado exenta de excesos, especialmente verbales, y las autoridades han mostrado falta de habilidad, pero están resueltos para hacer frente a las expresiones de descontento antigubernamental. Es significativo que las denuncias del gobierno venezolano son sustentadas por la difusión de un audio entre el ex jefe de la Casa Militar de Venezuela Iván Caratú Molina y el ex embajador de ese país en Colombia Fernando Gerbasi, en el que ambos personajes afirman, 24 horas antes de los hechos del pasado miércoles, que “mañana vendrá un escenario muy similar al del 11 de abril”, en alusión a la intentona golpista ocurrida en abril de 2002, y esta fue con respaldo y afrentoso apoyo mal encubierto de Estados Unidos, esta situación alejó al ex presidente Hugo Chávez del gobierno por unas horas. Por su parte, se encuentra en persistente acoso el gobierno por la derecha venezolana en contra del gobierno de Maduro, y se confirma el patrón de desestabilización y golpismo oligárquicos que viene afectando a diversos gobiernos y países latinoamericanos desde 2002, con la referida deposición temporal y secuestro militar del presidente Hugo Chávez. Ese patrón se repitió en escala menor en Bolivia en 2008; logró un año más tarde subvertir el orden democrático en Honduras; se reprodujo, sin éxito, en la sublevación policíaca contra Rafael Correa en Ecuador, en 2010; consiguió en 2012, el derrocamiento del gobierno de Fernando Lugo en Paraguay, con un golpe al estado disfrazado de juicio político, y se ha expresado recientemente en Argentina con la embestida empresarial, agroexportadora y financiera que enfrenta el gobierno de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Después de una tensa calma tras los violentos incidentes ocurridos la víspera en el centro y este de la capital, que dejaron tres muertos, 66 heridos incluidos 17 militares y policías, con un balance de 69 detenidos según la fiscal general, Luisa Ortega. En oposición en la capital algunos estudiantes repudiaron en forma pacífica, así como un puñado de chavistas respondieron a una convocatoria del presidente Maduro con la consigna: “Venezuela unida contra el fascismo”, y Venezuela ha respondido al líder de derecha opositor Leopoldo López y a la pandilla de criminales opuestos al gobierno, con paciencia al intento golpista de “civiles” paramilitares. La subversión de la institucionalidad democrática en los países que han emprendido proyectos políticos de corte progresista y soberanista puede resultar sumamente costosa, incluso para los intereses nacionales y foráneos que la impulsan, en la medida en que conlleva el riesgo de generar escenarios de ingobernabilidad y violencia incontrolables. Es pertinente, en suma, que la comunidad internacional demande a los opositores venezolanos que cesen en su intento por subvertir un régimen democráticamente electo, así haya sido por estrecho margen, como el de Maduro, y que expresen sus inconformidades por los cauces estrictamente institucionales y legales. El gobierno venezolano, por su parte, debe entender que uno de los efectos más saludables de la Revolución Bolivariana ha sido la consolidación de una democracia en la que, más allá de los intentos desestabilizadores, existen además de las oposiciones promovidas por afanes injerencistas, disensos políticos y sociales legítimos. Y que el papel de las autoridades es reconocer esas diferencias y tender los puentes necesarios para resolverlas. (La Jornada, política, p.p. 2 - 22, 14 de Febrero, 2014).

The pensioners of Mexicana

National Do eight thousand workers say, until when will it be solved the problem of the pensions? The pensioners of Mexicana By: Carlos Damian February 10, 2014 The funds of the pensioners “were not played" Mexico. - A group of workers of the Company Mexicana of Aviation (CMA) sustained yesterday (2/6/14) an umpteenth encounter with integral of the fideicommissum that administers the CMA (Mexicana) airline, without capitalization and ruined by its former proprietor Gaston Azcarraga, with the purpose of achieving the payment of the pensions that they are owed for months. As Mexicana you will remember, after being “rescued” and cleaned up with public money, it was "discorporate" in 2005, during Vicente Fox’s six years, and sold to the Posada Group (owner of the hotel complex), where Azcarraga was majority shareholder and some said that it was “undersold”, to the factic power group of Televisa Co. In less than five years, the private administration dismantled the company and it took it to a virtual crash that gave place to a mercantile competition that has not still been solved. In the process, those affected immediate they have been the workers, among which we can write down technicians and manual, administrative, flight attendants and pilots, and among them; the pensioners, people that in fact have been those most harmed ones, because they lack possibilities of obtaining another employment. But the lingering closing of the airlines has also been horribly onerous for the country and for the economy, particularly for the tourist sector and users of the air transport, which have been exposed to outrages of Mexicana’s old competitors that when being owners of the market, and of the specific destinations of this ruin, they have incurred in all luck of practical abusive and monopolists. Remember you like in the last administration, characterized by their political labor slave and anti-syndicalism that were executed in an implacable way by the former secretary of Work Javier Lozano Alarcon against miners and metallurgists, electricians and the own workers of the airline in difficulties, in sum the federal government who unchained the serious problem, was he ignored of the social and economic problem and it bet everything to the waste and death of those affected as a form of extinguishing the conflict. During the first year of EPN the government attitude didn't change in significant form with regard to which they had its predecessors, and in spite of the exhort formulated last week for the current executive of the Secretary of Work and of Social Forecast (STPS, their initials in Spanish), Alfonso Navarrete Prida, so that he is solved once and it for all the mercantile competition, more of Mexicana’s thousand workers, retired or they don't continue without being able to make effective the perceptions and benefits that correspond them, all time that has never been declared extinct the labor relationship between the company and its employees They are eight thousand workers affected by the conflict memebers of the technical committee of the Fideicommissum of Mexican of Aviation, they presented yesterday their renouncement, after retired workers of the airline demanded it. Starting from this Friday (2/7/14), the new administration of the fideicommissum of more than 5 million dollars (USD) it will be in charge of workers in retirement of Mexicana, to who the company will provide them the available information, infrastructure and consultant ship that require related with the fideicommissum F/797 for the acting of its responsibilities, because will designate an person or several people. The agreement was summed up after both parts sustained a negotiation table of more than five hours and in the one that the liberation of the resources of the payment of pensions was approached for the workers in retirement. From 5:00 AM in the morning of this day the pensioners of Mexican, accompanied for integral of the Popular Barzon, blocked the main accesses and the parking of the tower that it belonged to the airline, located in avenue Xola, in the colonia del Valle, to impede the step to the workers. They are not according with this situation also placed in the windows greatest cardboards and placards with watchwords, besides a black casket in the main door of the building in bereavement sign for the forced landing of Mexicana that takes three and an inactive half years. In the encounter to the one that the leader of the Popular Barzon attended Moral Crecencio Avila like witness, a official paper was signed. In the document 13 people that are part of the technical committee present their renouncement with character of irrevocable, which they gave to the administrator-conciliatory Gerardo Badin and the trustee. They also settled the appointment of the new members of technical committee conformed by eight retired workers of Mexicana. "This is a historical day for the retired workers of Mexicana by virtue of that we have recovered our fideicommissum that was kidnapped by the company that refused to pay our pensions in all moment and to reveal the movements. What we are obtaining with the support of this popular movement is that we recover this fideicommissum. The company committed to surrender the whole necessary documentation to make an audit, to effect of identifying to the presumed responsible for the bad handlings or the null bottom of the same one", Happy Warring Diaz manifested, president of the Association of Pensioners, workers and former workers of Mexicana who it was to the front of the new committee. Those money were not played The Mexican Company of Aviation (CMA), it informed this Thursday that the money that is in the Fideicommissums for pensions and jubilations of the Personnel of Mexican doesn't form part of the mass contestant of the airlines and “it has not been played". The funds of the three Fideicommissums for pensions and the personal pilots' jubilations and flight attendants, they have not been played, except for the willing one for the technical committee, the Secretary of Government (Department of the Interior), and the Secretary of the Work and Social Forecast (STPS), for the case of the retired flight attendants, it said the Company in an official statement diffused hours after a protest of pensioners of CMA. It explained that in the case of the Fideicommissum for Flight attendants and retired Flight attendants, it is the technical committee, the only independent and autonomous entity that has the emporium to value the situation, to decide and to give the instruction so that the resources are used that are in the fideicommissums. The committee is formed by retired and members of flight attendants; they are part of the union designated by the ASSA of Mexico and employees of the company. On the other hand the parliamentary group of the PRD in the Chamber of Deputies demanded the federal government a resolution worthy to the conflict that affects to more than 8 thousand workers of CMA. Legislators Luis Manuel Arias, Eliana Gonzalez, Fernando Cuellar and Agustin Barrios Gomez, they considered that “neither the ridiculous liquidations that offer neither any other palliative, the workers solve in precarious state of unemployment. The bottom of the matter is in preserving the employment source, but to the investors implied in particular they are blocked insistently". When receiving to a group of unemployed of Mexicana, the legislators considered that the offered liquidation doesn't solve the bottom problem, because the excellent thing is to preserve the work source. For Begona Lopez, spokeswoman of CMA’s workers, the process in that they are the negotiations mercantile -competition - it is not clear, because they have passed more than 30 potential investors and up to now all the competitions have been broken to save to the company. At the end of this matter it ibecomes imperative that the judicial instances in charge of the case speed up the solution; otherwise, the current government should begin to think about outlines of public intervention to guarantee the rights of the workers of CMA and even to make possible that the airline operates again. The matter is urgent, not only for the infuriating situation that many workers live, but because every day that passes in suspension of activities the airline its patrimony it is also shrunk, and because the national market of the air transport requires of a bigger competitiveness for the users' benefit and of the tourist sector.

Los pensionados

Nacional Ocho mil trabajadores dicen, ¿hasta cuándo se resolverá el problema de las pensiones? Los pensionados de Mexicana Por: Carlos Damián 10 de febrero, 2014 Los fondos de los jubilados no “fueron tocados”. México. - Un grupo de trabajadores de la Compañía de Aviación sostuvo ayer (6/2/14) un enésimo encuentro con integrantes del fideicomiso que administra la aerolínea Mexicana, descapitalizada y arruinada por su ex propietario Gastón Azcárraga, con el propósito de lograr el pago de las pensiones que se les adeudan desde hace meses. Como se recordará Mexicana, tras ser “rescatada” y saneada con dinero público, fue “desincorporada” en 2005, durante el sexenio de Vicente Fox, y vendida al Grupo Posadas (dueña del complejo hotelero), donde Azcárraga era accionista mayoritario y algunos dijeron que fue “malbaratada”, al grupo fáctico de Televisa. En menos de cinco años, la administración privada desmanteló la empresa y la llevó a una virtual quiebra, que dio lugar a un concurso mercantil que aún no se ha resuelto. En el proceso, los afectados inmediatos han sido los trabajadores, entre los cuales podemos anotar a técnicos y manuales, administrativos, sobrecargos y pilotos, y entre ellos; los jubilados, personas que en realidad han sido los más perjudicados, pues carecen de posibilidades de obtener otro empleo. Pero el prolongado cierre de las aerolíneas ha sido también horriblemente oneroso para el país y para la economía, particularmente para el sector turístico y los usuarios del transporte aéreo, los cuales han quedado expuestos a arbitrariedades de antiguas competidoras de Mexicana, que al encontrarse dueñas del mercado, y de los destinos específicos de esta ruina, han incurrido en toda suerte de prácticas abusivas y monopólicas. Recuérdese como en la administración pasada, caracterizada por sus políticas anti laborales y antisindicales que fueron ejecutadas de manera implacable por el ex secretario de Trabajo Javier Lozano Alarcón en contra de mineros y metalúrgicos, electricistas y los propios trabajadores de la aerolínea en dificultades, en suma fue el gobierno federal quien desencadenó el grave problema, se desentendió del problema social y económico y le apostó todo al desgaste y muerte de los afectados como una forma de extinguir el conflicto. Durante el primer año de EPN la actitud gubernamental no cambió en forma significativa con respecto a la de sus antecesores, y pese al exhorto formulado la semana pasada por el actual titular de la Secretaría de Trabajo y de Previsión Social, Alfonso Navarrete Prida, para que se resuelva de una vez por todas el concurso mercantil, miles de trabajadores de Mexicana, jubilados o no siguen sin poder hacer efectivas las percepciones y prestaciones que les corresponden, toda vez que nunca se ha declarado extinta la relación laboral entre la empresa y sus empleados. Son ocho mil trabajadores afectados por el conflicto Integrantes del comité técnico del Fideicomiso de Mexicana de Aviación, presentaron ayer su renuncia, luego de que lo exigieran trabajadores jubilados de la aerolínea. A partir de este viernes (7/2/14), la nueva administración del fideicomiso de más de 75 millones de pesos estará a cargo de trabajadores en retiro de Mexicana, a quienes la empresa les proporcionará la información disponible, infraestructura y asesoría que requieran relacionada con el fideicomiso F/797 para el desempeño de sus responsabilidades, por lo que designará a una o varias personas. El acuerdo se concretó luego de que ambas partes sostuvieron una mesa de negociación de más de cinco horas y en la que se abordó la liberación de los recursos del pago de pensiones para los trabajadores en retiro. Desde las 5 de la mañana los jubilados de Mexicana, acompañados por integrantes del Barzón Popular, bloquearon los accesos principales y el estacionamiento de la torre que perteneció a la línea aérea, ubicada en la avenida Xola, en la colonia del Valle, para impedir el paso a los trabajadores. Los inconformes también colocaron en las ventanas cartulinas y pancartas con consignas, además de un ataúd negro en la puerta principal del edificio en señal de duelo por el aterrizaje forzado de Mexicana, que lleva tres años y medio inactiva. En el encuentro al que asistió el dirigente del Barzón Popular Crecencio Morales Ávila como testigo, se firmó una minuta. En el documento las 13 personas que forman parte del comité técnico presentan su renuncia con carácter de irrevocable, la cual entregaron al administrador-conciliador Gerardo Badín y a la fiduciaria. También se asentó la designación de los nuevos miembros de comité técnico conformado por ocho trabajadores jubilados de Mexicana. “Este es un día histórico para los trabajadores jubilados de Mexicana en virtud de que hemos recuperado nuestro fideicomiso que estaba secuestrado por la empresa, que en todo momento se negaba a pagar nuestras pensiones y a transparentar los movimientos. Lo que estamos obteniendo con el apoyo de este movimiento popular es que recobramos este fideicomiso. La empresa se comprometió a entregarnos toda la documentación necesaria para hacer una auditoría, a efecto de identificar a los presuntos responsables de los malos manejos o el nulo fondo del mismo”, manifestó Fausto Guerrero Díaz, presidente de la Asociación de Jubilados, trabajadores y ex trabajadores de Mexicana, quien quedó al frente del nuevo comité. Esos dineros no fueron tocados La Compañía Mexicana de Aviación (CMA), informó este jueves que el dinero que se encuentra en los Fideicomisos para pensiones y jubilaciones del Personal de Mexicana no forma parte de la masa concursal de las aerolíneas y “no ha sido tocado”. Los fondos de los tres Fideicomisos para pensiones y jubilaciones del personal pilotos y sobrecargos, no han sido tocados, con excepción de los dispuesto por el comité técnico, la Secretaría de Gobernación y la Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social, para el caso de los sobrecargos jubilados, dijo la Compañía en un comunicado difundido horas después de una protesta de jubilados de CMA. Explicó que en el caso del Fideicomiso para Sobrecargos y Sobrecargos jubilados, es el comité técnico, la única entidad independiente y autónoma que tiene la potestad para valorar la situación, decidir y dar la instrucción para que se utilicen los recursos que se encuentran en los fideicomisos. El comité está conformado por sobrecargos jubilados, sobrecargos integrantes del sindicato designados por la ASSA de México y empleados de la empresa. Por otra parte el grupo parlamentario del PRD en la Cámara de Diputados demandó al gobierno federal una resolución digna al conflicto que afecta a más de 8 mil trabajadores de CMA. Los legisladores Luis Manuel Arias, Eliana González, Fernando Cuéllar y Agustín Barrios Gómez, consideraron que “ni las liquidaciones ridículas que se ofrecen ni cualquier otro paliativo, resuelven los trabajadores en estado precario de desempleo. El fondo del asunto está en preservar la fuente de empleo, pero a los inversionistas implicados en particular se les obstaculiza insistentemente”. Al recibir a un grupo de desempleados de Mexicana, los legisladores consideraron que la liquidación ofrecida no resuelve el problema de fondo, pues lo relevante es preservar la fuente de trabajo. Para Begoña López, vocera de los trabajadores de CMA, el proceso en que se encuentran las negociaciones –concurso mercantil- no es claro, pues han pasado más de 30 potenciales inversionistas y hasta ahora se han frenado todos los concursos para salvar a la empresa. A final de cuentas resulta imperativo que las instancias judiciales a cargo del caso agilicen la solución; en caso contrario, el actual gobierno debe empezar a plantearse esquemas de intervención pública para garantizar los derechos de los trabajadores de CMA e incluso para hacer posible que la aerolínea vuelva a operar. El asunto es urgente, no sólo por la exasperante situación que viven muchos trabajadores, sino porque también cada día que pasa en suspensión de actividades la aerolínea ve mermado su patrimonio, y porque el mercado nacional del transporte aéreo requiere de una mayor competitividad para beneficio de los usuarios y del sector turístico.

The unsuccessful strategy

National The doctor Mireles' videos The unsuccessful strategy By: Carlos Damian January 19, 2014 The citizens of the CAUM, ask not to fall in provocations Mexico. - The Council of self-defenses together of Michoacan (CAUM) it asked the citizens not to fall in provocations for not entering in conflict with the federal armed forces and that they wait the posture that will express through the media, after the meeting that their leaders sustained with government representatives. In the wall of the social net Facebook @valor por Michoacan SDR that the CAUM uses to disclose events and opinions, the organism, requests “to our community ones and whole town to be to the margin without falling in the provocations of the armed forces, yesterday the good sense on us and we didn't respond to the attack of military toward civil, where regrettably five died (people); that the good sense continues reigning among the town". He added: "united we are invincible", and “we will be in the barricades taking care to our family like we have come them making, be with weapons or without weapons". It also accused to the company Televisa Co, ‘the channel of the stars", of publishing the video in at which doctor Jose Mireles calls to depose the weapons, and he offered a version that he can it turns in the electronic address; www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUK68ziRvPA. He asked their followers to clarify “people the manipulation of Televisa Co, in the video of the Doc Mireles (Doc); they seek to apply the one of it divides and you will conquer; you don't allow them to damage the image of the Doc". In an interview the Doc complained that those 'Caballeros Templarios' (CT) they were devoted to abuse of minors than age that they kidnapped before the eyes of the family with luxury of force, and he has a database of all these violations and criminal abuses. It indicated that the edition of Televisa Co, is evident in the minute 3:37 of the video, in which Doc says: "we accept to return to our communities", and a sentence is omitted in the one that puts as condition to depose the weapons “to stop the seven main heads of the Caballeros Templarios". In the video transmitted by the power factic, the leader of the CAU in Tepalcatepec says: we “speak on behalf of all the regional coordinators of the self-defenses, us the only thing that we want is that it recover the right state (edition cutting) not that they get lost the (union) powers". He affirms that “the council manifests that we attach to the rules signal January 13, 2014 today ". Then, they cutting edge itself the audio two second while its lips continue moving and in a new cutting edge he is listened to say: "we accept to return to our origin communities and to reinstate us to our daily activities." The news manipulated by the ‘channel of the stars’ The Secretary of Government informed of the meeting that his executive sustained, Miguel Angel Osorio Chong (MOC), with representatives of the groups of self-defense of the municipalities of ‘Tierra Caliente’, in which they coincided in which the priority is to make be worth the right state in Michoacan. To the meeting the governor of Michoacan and representatives of the secretaries of the National Defense and of Government attended. The state leader expressed his disposition so that in the process of restoration of the municipal public security it incorporates the civic accompaniment, whenever it is given in the picture of the legality. The representatives of the self-defenses committed to transmit that discussed to their respective groups. He commented that the problem of the delinquency is attacked in the municipalities of Uruapan, Mugica and Apatzingan, this last considered center of criminals' operations, where the armed forces settled down. In press conference in Veracruz, he explained that when the military ones moved toward Apatzingan, they met with residents “that were not surely very informed of the works that made the Army and the Federal Police; a struggle was given with a soldier and there was a shot in which a person died." Also, “it is spoken of other person, the corresponding investigation is making; we will be transparent with the information that is given, but up to now, it is a death that we complain deeply and for we love it this type of circumstances not to be given and that the population is fully informed", he said. Hours before that “struggle", he explained, the Secretary of Government had summoned to the self-defense groups to return to its origin places and to be reinstated to its daily activities, as long as the federal forces, in coordination with the state authorities, are taken charge of the security. In this sequence of images that offers us the information that among so much created confusion, it doesn't stop to highlight the manipulation made by the power factic, property of the 'channel of the stars’, without ethics and help it complicity with the government like he has for watchword to make it, in the journalist's space in schedule nocturne, Joaquin Lopez Doriga, where he spread in irregular form a video piece in the one that one of the leaders, the Doc Mireles of the CAU, he appeared to accept with pleasure, “to own name and of all the general coordinators of the self-defenses", the government secretary's call to depose the weapons and to retire to their houses. Something surprising of these leaders that to risk of losing their life and their family before being confronted with the organized crime were already giving the weapons; the contrast that we had in the television screens was unusual, surprising, and the doc accepted that outlined by MOC and for “our friend the governor” of Michoacan. The lack of the federal government's ethics According to Julio Hernandez, the investigating journalist, he writes in 'Astillero': The expressions of the leader of Tepalcatepec, it had been given 'good of health is’ of the hospital ‘Medica Sur’ the night of Sunday (1/12/14) and transferred to a secret place in a helicopter of the federal police, although the government denied such a fact. It was 'kidnapping and ‘watching’ after the singular air accident that had had previously, and Doc was put in front of a camera that recorded what would be diffused a hour in that coincidentally, Michoacan was “invaded” by the army and the federal police to dismantle to the self-defenses". The journalist doesn't doubt neither one second in giving space to the video that came from the dark basements of the power ‘neo-porfirista’. With that smell of journalist with a lot of experience, it was allowed to manage for the federal government, and he only mentioned: "tonight it is not known to where it was transferred (Doc Mireles), neither the reason, but they have arrived me these declarations that I share with you". http://bit.ly/19sX-VEs. At the same hour in that he spread the information that suspiciously had arrived in a providential way, some reporters met in a place that they ignored (they were with the blindfolded eyes and hidden), for not being seen by federal agents and in that place the Doc Mireles he explained that the Secretary of Government had asked him to read a text, but that he was against the disarmament as soon as the main bosses of the templarios were not put in prison. On the other hand university specialists in topics of national security criticized the agreement signed by the governments, federal and of Michoacan in the one that they ask to the self-defense groups to return to their daily activities and with the one which, “in theory", they seek to reestablish the right state in that entity. Rene Jimenez Ornelas, coordinator of the Unit of Analysis about Social Violence of the Institute of Social Investigations of the UNAM, he regretted that the strategy of EPN to counteract the violence in Michoacan is similar to the one that undertook Felipe Calderon’s administration. "It is to face the criminals as if it was a confrontation among armies, this means that they use a military strategy, when what is required is integral". It pointed out that in principle the signature of the agreement is not bad, but ‘it is short’, because an integral plan should include support strategies to communities, to confront the corruption and to investigate and to sanction to managers and public officials of the three government orders tied to the organized crime and that they participate in laundry of money, among other things".

La fallida estrategia

Nacional Los videos del doctor Mireles La fallida estrategia Por: Carlos Damián 19 de Enero, 2014 Los ciudadanos del CAUM, piden no caer en provocaciones México. - El Consejo de autodefensas unidas de Michoacán (CAUM) pidió a los ciudadanos no caer en provocaciones para no entrar en conflicto con las fuerzas armadas federales y que esperen la postura que expresará a través de los medios de comunicación, luego de la reunión que sus dirigentes sostuvieron con representantes gubernamentales. En el muro de la red social Facebook @valor por Michoacan SDR, que el CAUM utiliza para divulgar sucesos y opiniones, el organismo, pide “a nuestros comunitarios y pueblo en general estar al margen sin caer en las provocaciones de las fuerzas armadas, ayer la cordura sobre nosotros y no respondimos al ataque de militares hacia civiles, donde lamentablemente fallecieron cinco (personas); que la cordura siga reinando entre el pueblo”. Agregó: “unidos somos invencibles”, y “estaremos en las barricadas cuidando a nuestra familia como lo hemos venido haciendo, sea con armas o sin armas”. Además acusó a la empresa Televisa “el canal de las estrellas”, de editar el video en el cual el doctor José Mireles llama a deponer las armas, y ofreció una versión que puede verse en la dirección electrónica www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUK68ziRvPA. Pidió a sus seguidores aclarar “a la gente la manipulación de televisa en el video del Dr. Mireles; pretenden aplicar la de divide y vencerás; no permitan que dañen la imagen del Dr. Mireles”. En una entrevista el Dr. Mireles se quejaba que los ‘Caballeros Templarios’ (CT) se dedicaban a abusar de menores de edad que con lujo de fuerza secuestraban ante los ojos de la familia, y él tiene una base de datos de todas estas violaciones y abusos criminales. Indicó que la edición de Televisa es evidente en el minuto 3:37 del video, en el cual Mireles dice: “aceptamos regresar a nuestras comunidades”, y se omite una frase en la que pone como condición para deponer las armas “detener las siete principales cabezas de los Caballeros Templarios”. En el video transmitido por el poder fáctico, el líder del CAU en Tepalcatepec dice: en “nombre de todos los coordinadores regionales de las autodefensas, nosotros lo único que queremos es que se restablezca el estado de derecho (corte de edición) no que se pierdan los poderes”. Afirma que “el consejo manifiesta que nos apegamos a las reglas señaladas hoy 13 de enero de 2014”. Luego, se corta el audio dos segundo mientras sus labios siguen moviéndose y en un nuevo corte se le escucha decir: “aceptamos regresar a nuestra comunidades de origen y reincorporarnos a nuestras actividades cotidianas”. Las noticias manipuladas por el canal de las estrellas La Secretaría de Gobernación informó de la reunión que sostuvo su titular, Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong (MOC), con representantes de los grupos de autodefensa de los municipios de Tierra Caliente, en la cual coincidieron en que la prioridad es hacer valer el estado de derecho en Michoacán. A la reunión asistieron el gobernador de Michoacán, y representantes de las secretarías de la Defensa Nacional y de Gobernación. El mandatario estatal expresó su disposición para que en el proceso de restauración de la seguridad pública municipal se incorpore el acompañamiento ciudadano, siempre que se dé en el marco de la legalidad. Los representantes de las autodefensas se comprometieron a transmitir lo discutido a sus respectivos grupos. Comentó que se ataca el problema de la delincuencia en los municipios de Uruapan, Múgica y Apatzingán, este último considerado centro de operaciones de delincuentes, donde se establecieron las fuerzas armadas. En conferencia de prensa en Veracruz, explicó que cuando los militares se trasladaban hacia Apatzingán, se encontraron con pobladores “que seguramente no estaban bien informados de las labores que hacían el Ejército y la Policía Federal; se dio un forcejeo con un soldado y hubo un disparo en el que murió una persona.” También, “se habla de otra, se está haciendo la investigación correspondiente; seremos transparentes con la información que se dé, pero hasta ahora, es una muerte, que lamentamos profundamente y por ello queremos que no se dé este tipo de circunstancias y que la población esté plenamente informada”, dijo. Horas antes de ese “forcejeo”, explicó, la Secretaría de Gobernación había emplazado a los grupos de autodefensa a regresar a sus lugares de origen y reincorporarse a sus actividades cotidianas, en tanto las fuerzas federales, en coordinación con las autoridades estatales, se hacen cargo de la seguridad. En esta secuencia de imágenes que nos brinda la información que entre tanta confusión creada, no deja de destacar la manipulación hecha por el poder fáctico, propiedad del ‘canal de las estrellas’, sin ética y con la complicidad con el gobierno como tiene por consigna hacerlo Televisa Co, en el espacio del periodista en horario nocturno, Joaquín López Dóriga, donde se difundió en forma irregular una pieza de video en la que uno de los dirigentes, el Dr. Mireles de las CAU, aparecía aceptar con agrado, “a nombre propio y de todos los coordinadores generales de las autodefensas”, el llamado del secretario de gobernación a deponer las armas y retirarse a sus casas. Algo sorprendente de estos lideres que a riesgo de perder su vida antes de confrontarse con el crimen organizado ya estaban entregando las armas y su familia; el contraste que teníamos en las pantallas de televisión era insólito, sorpresivo, y el doctor aceptaba lo planteado por MOC y por “nuestro amigo el gobernador” de Michoacán. La falta de ética del gobierno federal De acuerdo a Julio Hernández, el periodista investigador, escribe en ‘Astillero’: “Las expresiones del líder de Tepalcatepec, había sido ‘dado de alta’ del hospital Médica Sur la noche del domingo (12/1/14) y trasladado a un sitio secreto en un helicóptero de la policía federal, aunque el gobierno negó tal hecho. Fue ‘secuestrado’ y ‘vigilado’ luego del singular accidente aéreo que había tenido anteriormente, y Mireles fue puesto frente a una cámara que grabó lo que sería difundido a la hora en que coincidentemente, Michoacán era “invadido” por el ejército y la policía federal para desarmar a las autodefensas”. El periodista no dudó ni un segundo en dar espacio al video que provenía de los sótanos obscuros del poder neo-porfirista. Con ese tufo de periodista colmilludo, se dejó manejar por el gobierno federal, y sólo mencionó: “esta noche no se sabe a donde fue trasladado (Mireles), ni el motivo, pero me han llegado estas declaraciones que comparto con usted”. http://bit.ly/19sX-VEs. A la misma hora en que se difundía la información que sospechosamente había “llegado” de manera providencial, algunos reporteros se reunían en un lugar que desconocían (fueron con los ojos vendados y ocultos), para no ser vistos por agentes federales y en ese lugar el Dr. Mireles explicaba que la Secretaría de Gobernación le había pedido leer un texto, pero que él estaba en contra del desarme en cuanto no fueran detenidos los jefes principales de los templarios. Por otra parte especialistas universitarios en temas de seguridad nacional criticaron el acuerdo firmado por los gobiernos, federal y de Michoacán en el que piden a los grupos de autodefensa regresar a sus actividades cotidianas y con el cual, “en teoría”, pretenden restablecer el estado de derecho en aquella entidad. René Jiménez Ornelas, coordinador de la Unidad de Análisis sobre Violencia Social del Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales de la UNAM, lamentó que la estrategia de EPN para contrarrestar la violencia en Michoacán sea semejante a la que emprendió la administración de Felipe Calderón. “Se trata de enfrentar a los delincuentes como si fuera una confrontación entre ejércitos, es decir, usan una estrategia militar, cuando lo que se requiere es integral”. Señaló que en principio la firma del convenio no es mala, pero se “queda corto”, pues un plan integral debe incluir estrategias de apoyo a comunidades, confrontar la corrupción e investigar y sancionar a empresarios y funcionarios públicos de los tres órdenes de gobierno ligados al crimen organizado y que participen en lavado de dinero, entre otros”.

Effect cockroach

National Sedena rejects versions it has more than enough two civilians' death Effect cockroach By: Carlos Damian January 15, 2014 Federal policemen dismantle and they lock in the military barracks to the preventive policemen Mexico. - The federal forces assumed today the security in the biggest municipality in the ‘Hot Earth’ of Michoacan State, whipped for months by the violence and considered the main bastion of the criminal organization the ‘caballero templario': more than 400 troops they patrol the streets and they watch over the exits to Cuatro caminos, Buenavista, Tomatlan and Aguililla. However 80 percent of the trade shops continue closed and the service of suburban transport remains suspended from Friday, when opponents, to the defense groups set on fire three vehicles, stores and partially the caballero templario set on fire part of the governorship. After the noon of this Tuesday (1/14/14), elements of the army and of the Federal Police (PF) they siege downtown, of about 130 thousand inhabitants, and they placed patrol cars in front of the headquarters of the city council. At the same time, airships of the federal forces flew over the first square in the face of the astonishment and the villagers' uncertainty, some of which applauded the unfolding. Near the 13 hours, it part of the contingents of the PF and the militia moved toward the Municipal Direction of Public Security, where it dismantled the preventive policemen and it assumed the works of security. This task was coordinated by the Army to whose troops each one of the short and long weapons that the local policemen behaved were given, as well as the ammunition. The weapons and cartridges were deposited by the soldiers in a truck of the Secretary of the National Defense (Sedena). As long as the agents of Apatzingan were quartered. A business proprietor, Chacho N. located in the portals, says: "They are mistaken if they believe that they give us more trust with the presence of federal militia; people are afraid, the city is in crisis and it won't be solved this way the situation". AT the 15:30 hours the governor Fausto Vallejo arrived to this city and he met in private with controls of the 43 Military Areas, located in the periphery, as well as with members of the groups of self-defense of ‘Hot Earth’ (Michoacan). Later to be transferred to the municipal palace, where he dialogued with mayor Uriel Chavez. At night he returned to Morelia (Capital of the Michoacan State), to sustain an encounter with their cabinet. Citizens' distrust The federal government's actions before the crisis of bankrupt state that one lives in Michoacan, far away from contributing a factor of stability and certainty in the entity and to the country, they have generated a climate of uncertainty in the public opinion and volatility to the circumstance of that state. We have that indeed, the unfolding of the Federal Police in the areas until recently they were controlled by the self-defense groups and community defense groups of indigenous, announced by the Secretary of Government, Miguel Angel Osorio Chong, it has been received with skepticism; the call to the same ones to that give the weapons was rejected by the leaders of the advice of self-defense of Hot Earth, and to make matters worse an operative one military of disarmament carried out in the town of Antunez it derived in the death of three corps two adults and a smaller one at the hands of soldiers, since they entered in the town shooting their weapons. This tragic event should be investigated and illustrious what illustrates lack of origin of using to the armed forces in police functions. We as everybody we agree they are military that they have been trained to liquidate the enemy it doesn't stop to pursue criminals neither to prevent crimes among civil, for what this event forces us to remember the numerous episodes of violence and violation against the population that they have taken place in the circumstances in those that it has been abused of military unfolding in regions affected by the peak of the organized crime rate. In contrast, the government answer of the current moment is similar to those conceived and executed in its moment during the last six years, and whose uselessness has been exhibited, in fact, for the permanency of criminal organizations and for the prevalent insecurity, the one that in turn has conformed the cultivation broth for the formation of the self-defense groups that they should have taken charge of the public security in the areas in those that the Federation has carried out spectacular unfolding of public force for, later to leave them abandoned to its luck. A factor that excessively is very clear, it is the lack of consistent and solid official information about what really happens in that entity. For lack of it, it is unavoidable the proliferation of rumors and fragmentary data that, far from clarifying the panorama, they multiply the confusion and the disinformation. Apart from this, in this context of violence and death we have in the state a ' second war against the drug-trafficker', with this shift of aggressive actions grieves it reached a noisy concentration of the federal government's forces to scare to the ‘templario’ empire in its origin residence the municipality of Apatzingan, with an extreme armour, either aligning vans wolf of recent model, with an enormous unfolding of weapons and personal police and military placing faces them of the municipal presidency to force to this criminal organization it is necessary to move of its headquarters. Confusion and violence The Michoacan’s civic was already 13 years old and they didn't leave the criminal problem. At the beginnings there was not detention some of troops or racketeers belonging to those 'caballeros templarios' that were made call in a principle 'familia michoacana' and they were accepted since by the citizens they were 9 years old of tolerating to ‘Los Zetas', and 4 years later he/she settled the ‘familia michoacana’ that displaced to these criminal ones but later it was corrupted and it began to get paid 'piso' to the citizens, at last became ‘caballeros templarios’, a criminal organization that surpassed the abuses of Los Zetas and that it had a religion like own, they had its ten commandments -a doomy guide to kill, to kidnap and to steal -, and Armando Gomez Martin, (la tuta), the leader like the shepherd, a saint that would take them to the victory in its church of the crime. Although both it was dismantled to the self-defense groups that guide Hipolito Mora, and doctor Jose M. Mireles, which are part of the Council of Self-defenses United of Michoacan (CAUM, for its initials in Spanish). there was violence due to the hasty form with which the army made presence, according to videos diffused in social nets and the specific accusations diffused by means of accounts in Internet (@valor Michoacan in twitter and @valor por Michoacan SDR in Facebook, for what we infer that SDR is the initials that correspond to 'risk' situation, what constitutes a luck of unofficial spokesman of the movement of popular armed resistance in the entity. Which are those that take the load of the 'war intern' against the caballeros templarios (CT). Some of the leaders of the criminal organization CT, they are: Arturo Plancarte Solis, Armando Gomez, Martin (la tuta), Dionicio Loya Plancarte, Nazario Moreno Gonzalez who gave origin to the doctrine of the Caballeros Templarios, Arturo Cruz Mendoza, Jesus Vazquez Macias (the Chicano), Humberto Zurita Reyes the criminal operator that investigates the merchants requesting 500 thousand pesos and its Merry Christmas gift, and Juan Diego Negrete Arriaga that tries to fasten fire a pharmacy, when threatening the merchant that should not open its business, since didn't have permission of CT. According to the referred facts, clearly they indicate us an absence worrisome: that of a coherent and integral government strategy, and in this context we accommodate to the police, intelligence organization, politics, economic and social, that makes these factors that we should have to make in front of this phenomenon of lack of public security that begins to become confrontations of great scale among armed groups. If the administration of EPN is not able to formulate it quickly, although it is very pragmatic the president, we have that the country will live another six years of violence decontrolled, institutional decomposition and multiplied barbarism.
