Is It Bad To Switch From Honors To Regular

The continuing wrong

Reasons Jorge Fernández Menéndez

15-Apr-2008

Eighty-five percent of the population rejects the actions taken by the PRD to "close" (as I have tried always, all the coup) the Congress, as Surveys released in the last hours. To strengthen this impression, the PRD and Lopez Obrador leaders have decided, at least as I write these lines, strengthen your position and insist that they leave the stands if there is a debate in the format, time and even components they want, which should extend at least until August, with the aim of which is crimping the Union address, while maintaining the country paralyzed for more than four months.

When your enemy is wrong, say those who know, should not distract. And López Obrador is wrong with this action as well as with the famous sit-in 2006: no social support, there is a positive impact on the resources (Lopez complained after two months had more coverage than anyone in the political world , that the media have criticized what did you expect?, does Tejero received many compliments when he took at gunpoint English Courts to try to curb the democratic transition?) have unified the other party against and have exposed the internal fractures in the PRD. People have been very bad so far and Lopez can not understand that the rest of the country, their decisions seem esoteric and have no followers. Somehow looking out the problem and said on Sunday: there is a new "complementary", it is media and includes the Supreme Court (is it because you still have open criminal proceedings or for the election of the PRD will end in the Electoral Tribunal? ) and to lift the footage, you must do exactly what it says and try to impose party that has a little less than a third of Congress.

The temptation then is to send as the devil as they send the institutions, as again López repeat on Sunday. It would be wrong. In part this is what these characters want: the use of law enforcement by the federal government. And as you know it is difficult to apply on a group of louts with trade, blackmail that the only way to be endless dialogue proposed. You really have to look at measures that are beyond these two options for further work, if a PRD sector better, if the Stockholm syndrome make it impossible, no way. The police should be and attempts to contain more violent footage of the venues. At the weekend, the idea that they who lead this movement is that calls to take the rooms adelitas session on especially in the Senate. The small detail is that they have no immunity and that can not afford. These groups are small but defiant, somehow must maintain control of the process in a city like Mexico, which guarantees the rights of citizens when to take action against the infantry of his political boss. There they were on Sunday in an act intended to ignore the country's institutions and support measures that violate the law, the Secretary of Government, Social Development and Public Security Secretary capital.

But the issue is the debate: on Thursday, when they took the stands, and was holding Carlos Navarrete agreement to a debate of three weeks, more enough in the case of a subject that has been discussed ad nauseum for years, in order to analyze the sector and enterprise. Even with that the PRD would have prevented the approval of the initiatives during this regular session. Now proposes a 50-day debate and it appears that the FAP also rejected. The choice should be clear: the PRD accepts the proposal or losing it. Because you can move in other ways: for example, what better than a query without limits?, What would happen if Congress opens tomorrow, an internet site for all institutions, all specialists, all citizens who have proposals to do in the matter, to be presented? A space that is open access to review, read, rate. What if the Energy Commission, with a functional advisory committee, appointed by two-thirds of its members, reviews all such proposals in three weeks and then, based on them, make modifications or additions are necessary?, " What would be more universal, more comprehensive, more democratic than a query like this?

At the same time should follow the legislative agenda: the Chamber of Deputies are initiatives of all kinds (about 40) offer a great variety of subjects from secondary education to the appointment of the Comptroller of the IFE. One option may be the alternate sites, but would be otherwise: to make the platform do not need dozens, that some hooligans with rushes jurisdiction over them is enough. Should be legislated in Congress, but sometimes forgets that it is not necessarily in full and these initiatives need only a simple majority for approval: are you prepared all FAP lawmakers not to intervene in these debates and Production of these laws? Ultimately have to take responsibility, are subordinated to what she said Lopez or make their respective decisions.

If the PRD does not want to discuss, do not do it, unless you want to participate in the legislative process, which lies outside, if your officials and leaders believe that one day may be unaware of the institutions and the next day to ask from resources and political support, someone needs to remind them of their contradiction. The continuing wrong and away from people, but someone is responsible for making them pay the bill. In politics nothing is free.

Fabric Coverable Belt Buckles

for the "defense of Pemex" aniqulan the PRD and AMLO



Ricardo German Political Itinerary
El Universal

Sunday April 13, 2008

is not a joke. Are you serious that a good portion of leaders and rulers of the PRD leaders are highly concerned over the cliff to a handful of ambitious lead the party, the most important and influential training Mexican left has reached in its history.

's no joke that the accusation Andrés Manuel López Obrador intends to "a coup" within the PRD, which among others launched the party's number two yellow, Guadalupe Acosta Naranjo. It is seriously some of the builders of the PRD see Mr. legitimate, as the most important leader of the Mexican left, the man who can carry the power that political force, which promotes the transformation of Mexico and finally reached When the less fortunate. No, wise minds in the PRD, which is but do not dare to express themselves public, and see AMLO as an "infiltrator" of the PRI and the right to end the PRD. And no, it is a joke.

And while today they do not say in public, show their faces to express this concern, the fact is that there will be a long time to do so. A year ago, maybe two, no one imagined that the Mutts and Lopistas today is to say what they say in the dispute over control of the party yellow, and the battle of public money. In two, three or four years once the votes charged political clumsiness of Tabasco, many recognize publicly that López Obrador was responsible for the suicide of the PRD, but also strengthening on the right and the return of the PRI to power.

And indeed, if we calmly consider what is happening, with a little common sense and without the passion that leads to fanaticism and messianism of amlistas, come to the conclusion that the legitimate does everything to destroy the left and its most important banner, the PRD, but also destroys their real power centers-who are in Congress, and even seeks to demolish the fledgling and fragile democracy that every citizen has cost us much, but at PRD marginalized and their hard lives. As always, we split. The suicide



Suppose that Mr. López Obrador right, the right perverse blue and tricolor right opportunity to trick the 100 million Mexicans fools we are, of course, and that will make Pemex into a family business. Let us assume that, in fact, the family Mouriño aims to become the modern version of Carlos Slim, as shouting in delirium in the Lopistas-profitable oil business. And let's assume that AMLO and his loyal are lit, sent from heaven to save the country, to redeem the souls of heretics and punish traitors. Let us assume that all this is true.

So if that is true, why destroy the image and influence PRD? What's Not from July 3 AMLO have charge of placing explosives on the pillars of the PRD? What is not political suicide, the so-called peaceful protest? What not to save the oil from the clutches of evil requires a strong party with a legitimate leader? Why, if that is an unquestioned premise, AMLO destroyed the PRD in its ambition to control the game?

Well, let's assume you were wrong, that by walking in the oil binge did not realize they were destroying the PRD, and is understandable, if the government did not realize the scandals Bejarano and Ponce, and have clear everything.
Why then
AMLO and his claque are shooting at the head of its centers of power? What are we talking about?

It is elementary common sense and even logic. But apparently not given to the basics, to common sense and logic. Of course, given for suicide.

What is it, but cut off his head to the PRD, the "closure" of Congress? Okay, for those who do not understand. Where has the PRD political force in the institutional level? What strength and how can the PRD institutional instruments to defend Pemex? Where does the money for the survival of AMLO's movement and oiled to keep a large majority of the party? The answers to the last three questions is: "The representation of the PRD in Congress." Is that clear? But what meant the closing of the Congress by the FAP?

For that, destroy the strength of the PRD in Congress, not only politically, but its image and its side against the already close election 2009. Who in their right mind would vote for the PRD in 2009? Of course, beyond the fans who no longer see or hear, and that at the end of the incongruity and delirium, now justify that AMLO and his chatty, wish to remove basic freedoms, such as expression, no. Remember that protected the left for 15, 20, 30 years? Yes, freedom of expression. What preach today? Close your mouth critics of the Left. Old, many fans today AMLO justify and promote what young defenders. Pure consistency.

Why say that AMLO will be noted in a few years as the head of the suicide of the PRD?

Because the alleged defense of oil, which is more than your "donkey" to come with political life in 2012, destroys the PRD, yellow parliamentary groups and, last but not least, it destroys the nascent democracy. That is, in their struggle for defense of oil called pure Machiavellianism applies: "The end justifies the means." That is, the AMLO power ambitions justify the destruction of the PRD and the nascent democracy. And last but not least, encourage the consolidation of the right and the return of the PRI. Does not it seem a mole?

Not many years ago PRI fans told us "Stalinists" for criticizing the PRI. Fewer years ago PAN fans said that "Government paid us, for criticizing the blues and their governments. Today we say we pay the PAN and the right to criticize AMLO and his PRD insane destruction and nascent democracy. Time will put everybody in place.

Mexican politicians denigrate Farsantes circus performers

For now, with sorrow and shame, we recognize that in seeking to define the frauds of the Mexican political class insult to a group of professionals who, quite rightly, claim that compare them with politicians, Federico Serrano-Diaz, director of Broadcast Atayde Hermanos Circus, offered the next lesson we accept with humility:

"Dear Mr. German, repeatedly in his writings do you references to the circus compared to the national political class. I dare to think it is ignorance rather than bad faith, but the truth is that such comments have helped to degrade the public perception of what is 'the circus': ancestral and live performance art, essentially democratic, and that our country has ancient roots.

"The circus works like clockwork: a trapeze artist can not change their flight path, or a juggler capriciously altering his routine, a trainer of tigers or improvise their act. Behind the circus is all that there is no politics in this country focus, rigor, discipline, evaluation of individual effort and collective self-confidence and on peers, elegance, precision and beauty. It is the art of astonishment.

"On the other hand, the exercise of the circus never hurt anyone, while our politicians, with their stupidity, do harm to millions of citizens. 'I wish the scenario was as narrow as a tightrope rope: it would take many inept the desire to go on stage, "said JW Goethe.

"I would send you some opinions from people more qualified than I do about what is and means the circus, and deserve to be taken into account because they are great artists and thinkers of universal culture:


The real circus
"No I know exactly what the circus has given me, but I saw people risking their lives with an infinite grace and elegance to entertain his fellows, and it seems to me more than enough "Maxim Gorky.

"The circus is the only show I know that while they look, gives the feeling of living in a happy dream": Ernest Hemingway.

"The circus is a small enclosed arena that surrounds us into oblivion for a moment we can leave ourselves to merge into a world of joy and wonder that leads us to the heart of a mysterious universe": Henry Miller.

"Every man, woman or child leaves the circus cooled, refreshed and ready to survive. The circus is a radical break in the pattern of reality: the beauty from ugliness, excitement to boredom ": John Steinbeck.

"Since childhood, from memory to relive the past, and also from the present course, the circus is always a paradise": Vicente Leñero.

"I hope that reading the above quotes help to give you notice, Mr German, the comparisons between the two worlds are not only unjust but a little light and even silly.

"In Mexico, Circo Atayde Hermanos is 120 years old in 2008. And in that time have fallen Porfirio Diaz and the PRI have gestated generations of new rich thanks to the policy, expanded rail and disappeared, there were crimes of State and the 1968 and 1971, and Mexico is very different in those 120 years. However, the circus is still there.

"Of course there are circuses of different standards and quality, as with any other human activity. The same happens with the media, journalists and politicians. That is why we believe it is irresponsible generalization. Therefore, through this channel will show the deep discomfort that causes the community circus that bad policy is presented as synonymous with the circus, which constantly make communicators like you.

"If the Mexican political work as a circus, art would be a perfectly organized, and it is not. We therefore believe that the circus is at odds with the Mexican political class and the demeaning way of doing politics.

"In any case, and with much good will, the truth is that many Mexicans and especially the circus professionals believe that our policy is a farce (comedy short piece), played by a multitude of doodles (person or thing defective. Men do not deserve respect informal), but you can never say that politics is a circus, with acrobats, jugglers and clowns. Do not confuse the terms. Thank you. " So far the letter.



On the way 10 years after his death: I need the opinion of Octavio Paz But it is also true that it would do much good to all politicians to read them. Sure, if you can read!
