AND
The Secretary’s speech Marina Almirante Raymundo Pedro Morales Ángeles on September 16 to which President Sheinbaum forced him, because she was not scheduled, scarcely fulfilled the duty to inform about the terrible fact that overshadowed the members of the Navy of Mexico, the most respectable institution we have.
The speech is written with evasive arguments, false presumptions and use of colloquial phrase, improper when the nation was being talked about. He spoke airily but did not say who he was referring to many wicks were burning, the road will be long and bitter.
First Mecha, Admiral Morales pretends to surprise something that he had to know a long time ago, before being secretary. Customs business penguins in the hands of their subordinates had long been discussed, they were public for a while. As an example are alarm cases such as Manzanillo, Ensenada, Guaymas.
Almost 11 months passed since he assumed his responsibility and is until now, through the presidential push, who acts alluding without specifying or facts or facts, why?
His predecessor as outgoing Marina Secretary, when delivering the command, did nothing inform him as he did with the prosecutor and the Secretary of Energy. Why did you forget the Secretary of the Treasury, official authority on whom customs depend? Callar is a serious fault when hiding facts that he knew and that until now had concealed, could be covered. The damage is not less, its omission is a great damage to the nation.
The second fuse is from the outgoing secretary, Admiral José Rafael Ojeda Durán. He delivered the position last October and in doing so he silenced what he already knew about him Huachicol Prosecutor, criminal acts of some subordinates and their two nephews, omitted to inform it in the delivery, also covered, why?
Third Mecha, why has the two linked deaths, suicide and an accident in a shooting field be left in the dark? To excuse a possible crime, champion explanations are used.
Fourth Mercha. On the case, surely within the Secretariat there have been drastic decisions, some punitive other prophylactics, why aren’t they known? They are of the highest national interest and for the good of that prestigious institution. The transparency, ethical form of democracy, must deprive of ancient prejudices of opacity.
Fifth Mars. The case being a national problem, why the Secretary of the Treasury says nothing of the fiscal damage caused.
Sixth Mecha, the Anti -Corruption and Good Governance Secretariat seems that it does not even find out something for which law should participate.
Seventh Mecha. The Governor of Veracruz, then Secretary of Energy, according to the former Secretary of the Navy, was informed and she also silences.
Consequences:
1. The case opens serious fissures to the government, means a severe blow to the presumption of honesty. The smuggling filtration was a setback in style. The opposition will take advantage of the issue to constantly question the seriousness of corruption combat policies.
2. Our prestige before the international community has been hurt. The United States pressure will be intensified that has argued that the Government of Mexico is not consistent and worse, that the president is afraid.
3. The problem evidenced that the armed forces are not alien to criminal networks as boasted. From these days they became vulnerable and for today the reaction within it cannot be anticipated.
4. Inside and outside the government and their party will sprout adversaries well armed by arguments that are supported. The theme is part of the opposition arsenal.
5. The Congress of the Union in its two cameras will be a fight with everything undesirable that we imagine today, everything will become difficult and dirty.
6. The long silence of nine months of Admiral Morales Secretary of the Navy has caused serious damage to the nation, it must be sanctioned, if not it could be said of a saying that selective impunity exists. He, who swore to comply and enforce the laws of the country, is missing as a public servant and his military honor.
7. For the benefit of the opposition, a subject of constant accusation has been created, as Morena does it with Calderón.
8. The case, still without connection at the moment, will be enhanced with the Hernán Bermúdez/César Augusto López scandal and AMLO’s shadow will return to the discussion reopening another flank, perhaps the weakest of the president.
The task of governing the country is a problem of the greatest proportions and it seems that we are just beginning. As serious as that, if not measured decisions and adequate times, the trace of the Almirantes scandal would mark the country and the government in the cruelest way.
