Illustration from a lithograph of Flora Guerrero and a carton of The Voyeur, which serve as the image for the playbill of staging The story began ... in 1998. My email account reach some news sent by friends and friends of mine who do not see since I left the highlands of the country, political, though not geographically, that we call Mexico. I get excited, I get disgusted, wrap me with tenderness, I dress and undress me going from hope to despair and vizconversa .
A shares me the II National Theatre in Tetela del Monte which took place earlier this month was a success and asked if we encourage them to bring something to the third edition. Another
me realize how drug trafficking and its associated dynamics are putting at risk the social network in Morelos, particularly in Cuernavaca.
Yet another tells me, among accomplice and mocking and David Hevia premiered his version of Life is a Dream, Calderón, Casa del Teatro, and asks me why I am preparing everything and praise of Sor Juana and snacks culled from Quixote Cervantes .
Another tells me that Sara Lee, partner of the Movement Against High Electricity Rates in Candelaria, Campeche, prisoner of conscience from the July 10, 2009, received the National Prize for Human Rights "Don Sergio Méndez Arceo" this year, and sends me pictures of when we deliver that same appreciation to the General Gallardo and the organizing committee of the Zapatista consultation 1999.
And finally, one of the most strange, he opens his heart in the middle of the memory that came a year after the death of his older brother, Josean, because of A/H1N1 in the middle of the negligence and ignorance of doctors and health officials, their relatives are among those who received the promise, in this case, Marcelo Ebrard to be attended to prevent new infections and to respond promptly to any; promise was not fulfilled.
The cluster of sensations and other news about me cause I am encouraged, therefore, to break the silence that had been guarding and eventually there were only expressed in itself the character of my absence: the self-imposed exile.
The country was since then, the year of my self-imposed exile, wrapped in a kind of shock from which to date has not recovered completely finished, framed in the political events for which we crossed in 2006 (the term is due to reasons chronological):
- Starting the Other Campaign, the Zapatista initiative which, among other characteristics had the branching off of all of the self-left party as Subcomandante Marcos under his nickname of "Delegate Zero of the Sixth Commission undertook yet another year of meeting the so-called civil society neozapatismo and supposedly organized against capitalism from the bottom left ;
- electoral fraud, which served as a touchstone de facto government headed (forgive the understatement) Felipe de Jesús Calderón Hinojosa has come to mean more than the continuation of the democratization of Mexican political system that some naively hoped would start with Vicente Fox, in the magic pass us back to the old days of the PRI perfect dictatorship, and
- The creation of what the consultants lopezobradoristas (Salinas yesterday and today) were to call the Democratic National Convention; scenario rather multiple tracks circus that was swapped in the erection of a self-appointed also legitimate president and eagle that all republican [sic ] invests and is of a paradoxical rebellion institutional fewer former PRI Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
On the one hand, the Other Campaign that as its name suggests distanced himself from the electoral process in 2006 to build a bridge which will be heard together the diverse efforts of social, political, economic and cultural development in Mexico are declared as anti-capitalist and anti-neoliberal, and from there build a agenda different from the political class in power, was brutally repressed, sometimes openly and blatantly, as in San Salvador Atenco and the Zapatista support base communities, sometimes in a buried throughout the country (because they "all Telcel Mexico's territory ") against sex workers, indigenous resistance, calling youth counterculture project and so on.
On the other hand, Calderón's government, which for some artists and intellectuals were characterized as typical of a "modern right," has undertaken to clearly signify a counter system that focuses its batteries to finish dismantling the few social, political, economic and cultural factors that had survived thanks to the resistance of countless individuals, groups, collectives, organizations and peoples against 70 years of "institutionalized revolution."
And why downtown?, The López Obrador mobilized thousands or if you want millions of people against privatization oil industry and put more or less in check to the owner of the Eagle's Throne, but at the same time, allying with paramilitary groups in Chiapas, colluding with the PRI caciques that election campaigns are launched, giving the City of Mexico Salinas de Gortari Camachas and silent, for example, privatization of water service continues in the capital with the appalling consequences and many are living at the lack of the vital liquid.
result?
The Zapatistas, meaning it not only the EZLN or anything else to communities and indigenous peoples in resistance and rebellion (but not forget), autonomic processes including, it seems consolidate minimum operating unit that can articulate the National Programme to Fight that just since 2007 has been discussed little by little, neither seems able to make the qualitative leap that needs to move from defensive organization against repression on the offensive proliferation of projects from the bottom left are matched to the experience of the Good Government, whose work is increasingly more threatened under the constant pounding counter featuring the entire class political and military.
The "modern right has" given up to its obligation govern this country. Haiga achieved the Presidency of the Republic by means of fraud (as we assume many many) or haiga reached by way of a tight and questioned why the election result, the Calderon administration (sorry for the double euphemism) has done nothing but give us the reason to those who have argued that the interests of TPTB and not the defense of sovereignty, and democracy building, nor the pursuit of common welfare, and the achievement of a safe and worth what you have to "Youngest Son" Castillo Peraza hanging their underwear in Los Pinos, there are, By way of example, the new Federal Labor Law which aims to pass in Congress (with a working culture in place that already is in violation of the Constitution through outsourcing contracts), the fundamental reforms in the use and enjoy energy (framed in the gradual privatization of the oil industry and the demise of Luz y Fuerza del Centro), the relinquishing of control of strategic areas in security at the Pentagon, the FBI and the DEA (with offices of these agencies Americans in the country's capital, patrols of its agents throughout the country and Mexican military training by foreign consultants residence in Mexico), the increasingly clear reduction of cultural policies for the tourism market (where the same Elton John sing at Chichen Itza and Joaquín Sabina in Los Pinos, in the name of combating piracy and subscription in secret ACTA agreements such as individual rights are violated), the privatization of goods and services related to health and right to a decent education (a network of research institutes and a dismantling frank Educational Quality Agreement signed fast track and, sometimes, in secret) and his stupid campaign to combat drug trafficking crime (causing a problem public health will become a national security issue, as dictated by the doctrine of low intensity warfare designed in the U.S.).
Meanwhile, López Obrador, via their political operatives and their organic intellectuals, make the most unusual juggling to justify the unjustifiable and defend the indefensible, including Johannite , legislators who are making fat the broth to the right, shameful political alliances with the murderers and torturers of their fellow party members and, perhaps worse, rather than capitalizing on popular discontent obvious and justified to focus on getting the language Calderon, among which is told the thousand and one ways to be a spurious end fray ... I speak of discontent.
so hopeful in outlook, given that fishing in troubled river, organized crime proceeds. There are, first, drug cartels, the most visible expression of the networks that make up (girls and boys to child pornography or pedophilia, pimping women, men for the killings), but not more than business merely because in capitalism everything can be bought and sold, and on the other hand, the political party that made it possible, he served the table, and tries to feed him, the legs in one side atlacomulqueña or a nice long career in national security apparatus with the smell of roast sweet expected return to the National Palace, now sitting at Calderón in the legs, sometimes with one arm raised in victory by Lopez Obrador, who does know how to do it (there are the world's richest man, Carlos Slim, and society that are most consumed narcotics in the world, the U.S., to account for this in his dual role of guarantees and controls): the PRI ... and yes, I'm talking about organized crime.
