Suspended for the Day of the Dead holiday, Napoleón Gómez Urrutia’s national tour would resume its schedule. The first presentation of The Triumph of Dignity, at the Museum of Anthropology, had the former Secretary of the Treasury, David Ibarra, and Senator Ifigenia Martínez as guests of honor.
There was then a yellow traffic light, so the Jaime Torres Bodet auditorium had restricted access, but just three weeks ago, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Monterrey – the hometown of the leader of the mining union – there were more than 500 guests. Likewise, in the courtyard of the old Government Palace of the Oaxacan capital, where the Morenoist senator was accompanied by the state president, Alejandro Murat, and Susana Harp.
On Wednesday 3, in Zacatecas, the general secretary of the SNTMMSS would be with Raymundo Cárdenas and José Narro at the Calderón Theater to present his book. Before, according to the program, he would visit the Morenista governor David Monreal and offer a press conference at the Quinta Real hotel.
On the outskirts of what was once a bullring, a hundred miners, affiliated with the union’s dissidence, were stationed to repudiate Gómez Urrutia’s visit.
Gómez Urrutia could not leave the Quinta Real. Hidalgo Avenue had been taken by half a thousand nonconformists. Visibly exasperated, he used social networks to denounce the coup, to which he added the governor and the capital authorities. “It is not possible for them to act like street joints (sic), commanding, paying and financing these shock groups to attack the miners and their leader.”
Yesterday at noon, accompanied by eight of his colleagues, Gómez Urrutia reiterated his complaints against the owners of Grupo Bal, Grupo México and Altos Hornos de México, who acted – he insisted – in complicity with the governor of Zacatecas and the municipality of Fresnillo, whose mayor is Saúl Monreal.
The presentation of the book by Gómez Urrutia, summarized the spokesman for the Morenoist parliamentary group, César Cravioto, was an attempt to sabotage “the dark forces.”
While Zacatecan Senator José Narro Céspedes, who was among the presenters of the play, demanded that the FGR attract investigations into the case; to the INAH, to hasten to present the corresponding complaint, and to the Ministry of Labor, to immediately cancel the registration of the Mining Front, a trade union organization headed by Carlos Pavón.
“La Marrana is responsible for this shameful act, for this aggression carried out by the group of gorillas paid and sent by Peñoles,” insisted Gómez Urrutia, who referred to Alonso Ancira, Alberto Baillères and Germán Larrea as “the greatest enemies of the miners ”. Narro Céspedes accused the owners of the mining companies for having financed the dirty campaign against AMLO in the presidential campaigns of 2006, 2012 and 2018.
“Our country does not need that type of businessmen,” said Gómez Urrutia. But from Zacatecas they reminded him that in his complaints he omitted to point out that those who protested were actually miners dissatisfied with the non-compliance of the union leader, who owes them almost 55 million dollars. Just two weeks ago, a third award issued by the Federal Conciliation and Arbitration Board obliges the Union of Mining Workers and Gómez Urrutia to hand over their corresponding part to the former workers of Industrial Minera de Cananea.
Sabotage of a cultural event (sic) or montage? Gómez Urrutia went to “heat up” the plaza? With the collective censorship of the Monreal Ávila, the Morenoist senatorial bloc that publicly protected Gómez Urrutia took sides in the presidential succession.
