Rebuilding the military airport to make it commercial or completing the Mayan Train involves challenges, but in the end these are works for which there are consultants or companies that assist in the projects…
The murder of Ángel Yael and the injuries suffered by Edith Alejandra, both students at the University of Guanajuato, confirm that the National Guard, made up of elements with military training, is not the solution to the country’s public security problem.
As if that were not enough, they arrested the wrong guard, despite the fact that it was a platoon whose members witnessed what happened, it is even said that the command never gave the order to shoot, so let’s not talk about obedience…
The event occurs when the government of López Obrador exceeded 120,500 intentional homicides, registered throughout the six-year term of Felipe Calderón, which accumulated 120,463.
As time goes by, the tasks, responsibilities and resources that the federal government gives to the military, both Defense and Navy, increase, despite the commitment of so many years to return them to the barracks that López Obrador professed during the campaign.
Now a bill is underway to formally incorporate the National Guard into the Armed Forces, a process that would only formalize what actually exists. The owners of the corporation are military, 23,000 former federal judicial agents and 90,000 come from the military, from where they have never been separated.
The comments that have transpired maintain that the initiative will not pass, that the legislators will apply the same vote to it as to the counter-reform of the electricity sector, but it cannot be guaranteed, they are not alien to prejudice, pressure and complicity in the matter.
There are those who say that the Armed Forces have only confirmed their loyalty to the commander in chief, even more so, that they demonstrate their preparation in multiple activities such as building airports, trains or driving oil trucks.
But they are not naive, the military knows perfectly well that the rulers are passing through and they will continue, that is why they shield themselves as General Salvador Cienfuegos tried to do in the past six-year term when trying to certify the activities of the military in public security and define their return to the barracks, it did not happen and López Obrador came to give them all kinds of tasks.
Two cases that confirm the care taken by the military to avoid problems in the future: the president’s acknowledgment that he was the one who gave the order to release Ovidio Guzmán and the recent revelation by General Gustavo Vallejo Suárez that there is no demonstration of environmental impact for the construction of the Mayan Train, a procedure that must be fulfilled according to the law, Semarnat has been omitted.
In both cases, surely there are many more, the military has been careful not to suffer consequences, the arrest of Cienfuegos left a bitter experience.
Rebuilding the military airport to make it commercial or completing the Mayan Train involves challenges, but in the end these are works for which there are consultants or companies that assist in the projects; It is not the same with public security, they are not prepared for this, because it is not in their DNA, the soldiers are prepared to kill, their mission is to defend sovereignty, they do not know about techniques, public security systems and investigations; It’s not your job either, so you have to go back to the basics, not in this government that every time it makes a mistake, blames the past, never assumes and never corrects.
