Institutions and Policy Choices in Mexico and Paramilitary

A few weeks
possession of Felipe Calderon as Mexico's democratically elected President, there are still claims and objections by the followers of his political opponent Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
However, the chances that the Federal Electoral Institute recount the votes, or count the votes decide to allow separately may not seem possible. Not because there is no possibility that the irregularities complained that the PRD, "the party of Lopez Obrador did not exist, but because from the beginning of what looked like a dead heat election, which he was a discussion about private or public nature of the vote.
At first glance it would seem a matter lower. Public or private, votes should be counted to determine which was the candidate who brought the greatest number of votes, or what that is win the election. But a wrong decision, the court decided that although the votes had been made with public money, these were not documents, but material expressions of the electoral preferences of the citizens who lose their status as citizens ballot vote. Therefore, what counts, it would have to go to verify the total number of voters for each of the options would be to the records of each of the polling stations, as are documents prepared to support the decisions of citizens in each of the corresponding tables.
Contrary to the statement by the Federal Electoral Institute, the ballots are just that. Roles created by the electoral authorities for citizens to choose the candidate of their choice to govern the destiny of their nation, but ballots are no longer simple, if each citizen is used as a vehicle to express an option to its preferred alternative . Thus, it is as a citizen, that is, the voter, the vote is just not a simple piece of paper with some pictures, some names and colors arranged in some way.
Due to the above is there where it should be a recount. For the same score. Not because the records are filled decidedly wrong, or there are irregularities, which appear to exist, but because the mere possibility that he will occupy the chair of the eagle, was not elected democratically by the Mexicans, generates instability and weakening of institutions that take any effort to wipe out shadows the elections should take place. Not only for the interests of stakeholders, López Obrador and his party, but for the future of the Mexican political tranquility. Otherwise, more Oaxaca, understood as popular uprisings for controversial political decisions, will be the daily bread in that country, and anyone who seeks to overcome the interests of their nationals.
Hopefully not too late for the Mexicans, after the possession of Calderon, very little is what can be done, by institutional paths. Hollman Lozano

Time for Truth

linking Against Senators Álvaro García Romero, Jairo Enrique Merlano and representative Erick Morris Taboada camera to a formal investigation part of the Supreme Court of Justice, one never ceases to surprise. Not because this is not consistent with the law, or because there is no sufficient evidence, over the last five years there - to formally link a criminal investigation, but because Colombia does not often happen these facts.
After the headlines and the vacuous pronouncements, research is limited to collect dust on the shelves of any court. But this time, a little late and who knows if it gets somewhere, has decided to link to two senators and one representative for their " alleged" involvement in the creation and funding of paramilitary groups, as well as the possible mastermind of one of massacres of the loudest I can remember the terrible recent history of Colombia.
But they are only three. What do you mean, where are the others?
In 2002, interview with The Associated Press "the paramilitary leader Salvatore Mancuso said his organization controlled 30 percent of the congress, which was then quickly dismissed by analysts and supervisory authorities, despite the chilling evidence confirming the words of Mr. Mancuso. But the formal linkage of the three politicians, gives credence to the words of Mancuso at the time. However, formally linked to research, are not even ten percent of the Congress which would mean that there are still plenty of "honorable" with very close ties to the paramilitaries.
Needless to say, the need for supervisory authorities to act with much more speed to give the politicians associated with the paramilitaries, as each day passes, the evidence is diluted and the lives of witnesses in danger of hunting as those that have been happening in Sucre in recent weeks.
not just at the national level yet where they should conduct these investigations. Then as it begins to interviews, most of the money stolen from public coffers that ended in the financing of paramilitary groups, was taken from the coffers of small municipalities and townships. In addition, you must also pay special attention to the diplomatic service, having to date, only with the case said the three congressmen, two positions have been associated. The first was the Embassy of Colombia in Chile, Salvador Arana occupied, and the Consulate of Colombia in Frankfurt still occupied by Mrs. Teresita García Romero, sister of Senator Jairo Enrique Merlano.
Yet precisely what happened or why it is necessary that the accused are provided with all procedural safeguards, not by endowments that nevertheless still possess, but by constitutional law that pertains to them. It is part of the functions of the investigating body to weaken the 'evidence' that already seek to wield the accused, in the sense that any support they have given absolutely did so under pressure paramilitaries.
This is not only necessary to do justice to the memory of those killed in the outlandish combat paramilitary, or open to more effectively redress the possibility of so many widows and orphans. But mostly for fundamental step in the process of reconciliation among Colombians in his memory, because the degree of truth to be achieved out of these events will depend on the degree of reconciliation between Colombians, the other, leaving this open wound is allow those who were besieged and paramilitary action violated by support to armed opponents of these, and repeating the cyclical wheel of blood in Colombia.

Hamas and the New Government of Unity


In a desperate move trying to reach the foreign aid that had helped the Palestinian Authority to exist, the Hamas prime minister, Ismail Haniyah has accepted to voluntarily put an end at its government, if it will return the foreign aid that was suspended almost eight months ago, when the rebel movement got to the power.
On one side, it basically means that the international community and Israel have won the battle over Hamas, because it has to surrender the power in order to access the foreign aid . On the other side, it may indicate that Hamas believes so strongly on its tenets that is even able to give up itself before accepting the conditions imposed by the international community and Israel, in order to resume the economical aid. Those conditions were:
1-. Recognize the right of the state of Israel to exist
2-. Forswear violence
3-. Accept previous Palestinian–Israeli agreements that imply a tow state solution.
The alternative that Hamas has found is to create a government of unity with the Fatah movement in order to access those funds that had been kept from the Palestinian Government. To this the U.S. government has said that it will resume the aid as soon as the government of unity comes to power, whereas Israeli officials have said that “any Palestinian government has to meet the three conditions, it does not matter who is in it, what their names are”
On the short term, it is possible that the government of unity between Hamas and Fatah will help to release the funds, but if they don’t accept the three conditions, the same situation is going to be repeated over and over again. Because for what can be infer from the Hamas leaders’ words, they have not yet understood the aims of Israel and the international community, or are just trying to fool them.
It becomes evident if one reads carefully the words of Mr Haniyah’s past Friday statement, when he said that “whoever gets to the Prime Minister office will be from Hamas line” “…We will not compromise…” “…We are going ahead with a government that will not give political compromises”
The alternatives that appear after following carefully what have been mentioned are that Hamas may be playing to get somebody who accepts the three conditions without compromising itself as a movement. A sort of third party that informally accepts the conditions of the international community, but that at the same time may be subject to Hamas pressure.
That because the government of union is the only possible alternative that Hamas has, especially if one considers that the other possible outcomes, stay in power although the economical difficulties will be to commit a political suicide. Whereas not taking part on the government of unity will be to renounce the power that democratically they had won.
The other not less important fact with the Hamas issue is that the too defended idea of democracy has received one of its more terrible stabs from who were supposed to be its more adamantly defendants. It is evident that the way occident understands democracy is not the way of what people want, but what the owners of the world want, that is to say those who have the money. Everything else does not seem to matter.
Neither the effort, nor the intention of the Palestinian to choose Hamas as their government, seems to be considered at the time of placing the conditions of the economical aid. Therefore, we are gong back to the movie of Danto, to the doubts of democracy. Giving reason once again to the words of Saramago when he said that he did not believe in democracy, because those who give the money for the political campaigns in every country, so those who elect who elect before the elections, the Head of Coca Cola, McDonalds and Ford do not go to elections.
At the end, this seems to be only an additional chapter in the already long story of the iraeli-palestinian conflict. Because to take Hamas out of power by convenient reasons, without giving them the opportunity to advance on their praxis as a political movement, only increases the confusion on the region, the furor and the hate with which some of the people sees their opponents.
