AND
Major General Jesus Leana Ojeda, a graduate of the General Staff, has made, from none other than besieged Culiacán, an exceptional, scandalous and highly illustrative statement (or confession, as you prefer).
When will peace return to the capital of Sinaloa (and surrounding areas)?
he was asked at a press conference, with the prairie on fire due to the fierce confrontation between the mayiza and the chapiza, a bloody backdrop that would lead to some glimmer of institutional hope, but Leana Ojeda, who is also the commander of the third Military Region, based in Mazatlán, was too frank: We want it to happen as soon as possible, but it is not up to us. It is up to the antagonistic groups to stop their confrontations with each other and to leave the population in peace, so that they can live in tranquility.
.
Such a stark admission of the preeminence of the criminal groups led to the point being pressed. Does security depend on these criminal groups?
insisted a reporter, and the lucid general elaborated on this kind of adaptation of the Calderonist They kill each other
: It depends on them (the criminal groups), they are the ones who want to carry out the attacks and they are the ones who are taking lives. Not us, on the contrary. We are here to prevent them from having confrontations and losing lives.
.
There is no need to add more ink: General Leana Ojeda has revealed the essence of the six-year policy regarding organized crime. The military force only allows confrontations between organized crime groups to flow, waiting for a winner or a truce or negotiation that will return peace to the communities. Hurry up, antagonistic groups
in stopping doing their confrontations
!
The words of the aforementioned military chief were spoken with another impassive witness of the battlefield on one side, Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, who is dealing with the disaster resulting from the episode, still unexplained and much less punished, of the flight of the Chapito Joaquin and the legendary May to the United States, plus the murder of the elected federal deputy, Héctor Cuén, also unsolved and which constitutes an example of the institutional and social despondency that Sinaloa suffers today.
Meanwhile, in the country’s capital, within the framework of the traditional parade of the 16th, the general secretary of National Defense and the admiral secretary of the Navy expressed gratitude and praise to President López Obrador and full willingness for the next period of government, which will be headed by Claudia Sheinbaum. And on the legislative agenda, the beginning of the process of constitutional formalization of the current reality is being prepared, which in fact maintains the National Guard attached to the command and administration of the Sedena.
As for judicial reform, yesterday the process that will lead to the popular election of judges, magistrates and ministers, as well as the integration of new judicial bodies, began. The President of the Republic had this Sunday inserted in the Official Journal of the Federation ( DOF) the decree promulgating the aforementioned changes (although it did not add a shout
triumphant on the issue, something that his adversaries feared), which should fully close that cycle.
But the opposition maintains hopes of stopping the reform through the same judicial means, by pointing out that the provisional suspensions granted by five judges so that the vote in chambers would not be carried out or, in the event that it had already been carried out, that the result would not be published in the aforementioned chamber were not respected. DOF. The endurance
is considering taking the case to international bodies if the national response they are hoping for is not forthcoming. See you tomorrow!
