José M. Murià: Diego Prieto’s move and others

AND

l National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) is really complex and extremely difficult to administer. On the one hand, it is true, it has some figures that turn out to be true Greeting hats and that do excellent jobs without causing any problem and giving us many satisfactions. They are those that allow them to be proud of those who are also in that payroll.

But there are, likewise, a holgazanes and transa cauda that have become true experts in Go carrying it with minimal and bad yields. Some are based, then, on the diligence and quality of their work, and the others, which are not few, on a disciplined union fidelity with which the fact that their work is almost null.

The case that the teacher Diego Prieto has remained in office for nine years and has achieved splendid results truly attracts attention and predicts that he is able to overcome the most diverse difficulties inherent in the public function.

I have lived in the INAH, with only a couple of getawaysmore than half a century. I consider that perhaps I have not been brilliant, but either; Otherwise the National System of Researchers (SNI) would not have installed me on its cusp.

I could have retired for years, but I like my job a lot and do it in the shadow of Diego Prieto was a true added value. Now the time has come to leave. After its successful management, censored only by the worst trade unionists, which, it should Living cultures.

Interestingly, after having compared by its innovative force the management of Diego Prieto with that of Guillermo Bonfil Battle, 50 years ago, it turns out that the next step of one is very similar to the other: Prieto goes to the strengthening of Living cultures; When he died in that bad accident, Bonfil was in charge of strengthening the popular cultures.

Indeed, the current government is worrying very seriously about improving, respecting its unique characteristics, many conglomerates that participate in very marginalized and traditionally vituperated cultures that, however, have not lost their brios. The current government has turned to see them and to hold their hands that, in this case, will be mainly Diego Prieto. From my point of view, I think who decided to name him had a huge success. I will send myself to the tests if I still exist when the six -year term that now runs is over.

I cannot refrain from commenting, on the other hand, that his place in the INAH is now occupied by a colleague of his, also of the first category, and an experience in the first quality Asaz trade: anthropologist also the man, and with a remarkable prestige, he has so far been director of the INAH Center of Oaxaca, among many other functions within the same house. It is evident that it is not intruder and also knows what the chamba is about. It is Joel Omar Vázquez Herrera, whom we wish him much success, although now I can no longer put myself at his orders; However, if it requires me for any specific issue, you know well that I am not one of those who crack.

With all the defects that want, in short, INAH is a charity to which Mexicans who really want our country have much to thank you.

Finally, I dare to say that the good treatment he has given him The day To the change of Chamba of the teacher Prieto and the ascent to the place that he occupied of the teacher Vázquez, honors justice and confirms that ours is a newspaper of First.
