THE DANGER FOLLOWS
Tomás Oropeza Berumen
The threat of structural reform continues to hang over the head of the Mexican people. Has not been averted the danger they are approved.
For now it depends on the appropriateness of political parties and legislators. In the calculations to be taken ahead of July elections in Mexico State and Federal, 2012 in which the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) is considered as the most likely winner given the debacle of the de facto Party National Action Party and the lurching of the Revolution Democratic.
By the time the pre-election situation has inhibited the faction of politicians of the PRI until a few days ago was determined to "pay the political costs" of approving the amendments unconstitutional National Security Labor and promoted by members linked to the state governor Mexico, presidential candidate Enrique Pena Nieto Atlacomulco group, to shatter the achievements of workers and hand over power to the Mexican army and impose a civil regime - military in the country.
The PRI split over the threat of punishment vote at the polls where the workers could retaliate by giving their votes to the economist Alejandro Encinas, candidate of the Labor Party (PT), Convergence and the Democratic Revolution (PRD)-after the alliance broke up the national president of the Aztec sun set with Felipe Calderon.
The two long-awaited reforms alluded to by the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and big business have not been ruled out due to popular mobilization but are suspended only by tactical considerations of the PRI, who were divided at the time of striking the stab against the working class and the country. Senators PRI
Francisco Labastida and Manlio Fabio Beltrones less awkward than the group of deputies from Peña Nieto announced that they will pass up reforms in the Senate in the Senate and that the stabbing stopped against the Mexican people.
In the case of labor reform deputies announced they will conduct a consultation to decide their fate, without it being clear who would be consulted, how much would the sample, etc.. As for the changes to the Safety Act, not be ruled out that these are approved in one of the two remaining sessions to be held in the remainder of the year.
The large amount of criticism on both projects from the social democratic left and the feeble protests of unionism neocharro played a role, but do not create an independent political force and opposed to capital up to stage a national protest movement to alter the balance of power.
labor reform intending to carry out the PRI-PAN alliance and to promote the subcontracting (outsourcing), job insecurity, lower wages and more precarious employment "-is designed to destroy unions and collective contracts work (CCT) and thus the social base of that sector of the political class, which is explained by the "labor sector" of the PRI is this May rebelled against the line of Peña Nieto, who is so starting to see might not be the PRI candidate, given that that party's internal contradictions mafia are red hot.
On the other hand the unions 'independent' and their leaders, many with decades in the trade union leadership, as Francisco Hernandez Juarez of the union of Telefonos de Mexico, Agustin Rodriguez Fuentes, the STUNAM, etc. also oppose reform for similar reasons. As unions have served as a platform to reach elected office and to clamber on the Mexican political class.
workers certainly have many reasons to reject the labor reform. They know that if approved
suffer greater exploitation and difficulties infinite self-defense.
Given the scandal that occurred during the last weeks the issue of reforming the National Security Act, the issue overshadowed the former but is not detached from it, because what is at bottom a policy to impose higher police control - military and capitalist exploitation of the Mexican people.
must vigorously oppose the claim of Felipe Calderon by a gross violation of the Mexican Constitution, acquire the power to declare a state of national emergency or regional arbitrarily.
also must not allow the army to achieve the adoption of a framework Legal allowing you to perform arbitrary arrests, prospect homes, espionage and arrests, take the law into their hands. This would lead to a decline unparalleled in history. A worse scenario than the dirty war of the seventies. Comparable only to what happened for decades in South American countries.
While in Mexico City workers in both the corporate unionism of the PRI and the National Union of Workers and militant unions like the electricians (SME) and many others carried out two large demonstrations against the labor reform and government strategy combating drug trafficking, the reality is that the working class continues to act purely on the defensive.
Elsewhere in the country, as in the northern state of Chihuahua, one of the hardest hit by drug violence and the army, the working class is so helpless and lacking in class organization that the recent May 1, the commemorative march was led by César Duarte PRI governor and the municipal police. Depriving tens of thousands of workers and workers in the sweatshops of the right to express their discontent and raise their claims in that class militarized entity where the population rejects the presence of the feds.
