Julio Hernández López: Shipyard

A

In response to a reporter’s question, President López Obrador extended an endorsement, at least provisional, to Alejandro Gertz Manero, the highly contested head of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR). I am not thinking (sic) of intervening, of meddling in a matter that has to do with an independent institution, only if there is a serious matter; that is what the law establishesresponded the Tabasco politician.

They insisted on asking him if he did not consider the accusations made so far to be serious, and the Federal Executive replied: I do not consider it, I do not consider it. And you have to see everyone, because politics is not Manichaean, it’s not about good guys and bad guys, it’s not like that. So, there are always differences, interests, and my obligation is to guarantee peace, tranquility, the governability that exists in Mexico. (https://bit.ly/37XY602)./

From the outset, it is striking that the President uses in the case of prosecutor Gertz the plausible thesis of politics as something foreign to Manichaeism, to the division between bad guys and good guys, precisely when in the public discussion is the ardent Morenista labeling of his opponents, legislative and partisan, as traitors to the country from the vote on the electricity reform.

It is not a minor fact, on the other hand, that among the formal accusers of the prosecutor Gertz is Julio Scherer Ibarra, who during the first section of the Obrador was neither more nor less than the legal adviser of the Presidency.

Without that weight, it could be said that it was ex-institutional, but with a series of accusations that have not been addressed or clarified until now, this part of the family that belonged to the prosecutor’s brother, one of whose members was kept in prison for 528 days, until the Court intervened to stop the actions with an open odor of family revenge or protection of secret financial data.

Alecxaí Yllades, Dalia Lara and Luis Gerardo Domínguez recall that Ángel Yael Ignacio Rangel, assassinated by a national guard in Irapuato, Guanajuato, “continually affirmed: ‘science is my priority’”. In addition, he had a great passion for design and plans to start a business together with his friends. He was a founding member of a youth organization for ecology and financed his studies by selling skin care products made by his family”.

grouped under the name Brain drain, the young people state: “if we really seek ‘hugs, not bullets’ in Guanajuato and in the rest of the country, we cannot reduce our demands to fire or lock up the member of the Guard, who only follows the path of action of the national project of security. It is necessary to demand greater transparency in the security forces, investigations into the presumed murdered ‘criminals’, reconsider the presence of the military in operations against fuel theft and abandon the official discourse that justifies the criminalization of young people. We do not want more militarization disguised as ‘security’. We demand memory, truth and justice” (https://bit.ly/3MIFrns).

On another topic: yesterday was the anniversary of the tragic collapse of a section of Metro Line 12, which at the time was called golden and it was presumed as an example of quality and modernity. With 26 dead and about 80 wounded as balance, there are no detainees or consignments for which he has tried to assign himself to problems with wrongly installed bolts.

There is no sanction for any first-level public servant, whether it was the inaugural Marcelo Ebrard, or the one accused of not providing adequate maintenance, Miguel Ángel Mancera, or Claudia Sheinbaum, during whose administration there were complaints and evidence of structural failures. It is likely that everything will remain at the level of Ebrardista Enrique Horcasitas, who was director of the Metro Project.

And from Grupo Carso, from Carlos Slim, it has only been seen that he has released checks to guarantee that there are no accusations against him, taking advantage of the figure of the reparatory agreements, with the help of top-level authorities. Until tomorrow!
