Intelectuais cobram candidatos no México

Sylvia Colombo

A campanha presidencial mexicana acaba de começar, com vistas à votação do próximo dia 1 de julho. O favorito para ganhar o pleito é o candidato Enrique Peña Nieto, do tradicional PRI (Partido Revolucionário Institucional), que esteve no poder por mais de 70 anos. Em segundo lugar está a candidata da situação, a ex-secretária da Educação Josefina Vásquez Mota (PAN). Em terceiro, tentando recuperar o prestígio perdido depois da derrota em 2006, o esquerdista Antonio Manuel López Obrador (PRD).

Mal começaram a campanha televisiva e os comícios, os candidatos já têm o primeiro desafio. Responder às perguntas de um grupo de quase 50 intelectuais e artistas lançadas nesta semana, sobre assuntos que consideram centrais.

Os pontos mais polêmicos do questionário são o que se referem à violência do narcotráfico e a privatização parcial de algumas estatais importantes. Com relação à violência, há muita inquietude no país por conta dos mais de 50 mil mortos causados pela guerra ao crime organizado iniciada pelo atual presidente, o conservador Felipe Calderón (PAN). Seus críticos dizem que as ações do Exército provocaram uma reação ainda mais negativa entre os delinquentes e não fez com que se diminuísse a quantidade de drogas que atravessa o país com destino aos EUA.

Nestes seis anos de governo Calderón, a atuação dos jornalistas sofreu grave assédio. O México já é o país latino-americano mais perigoso para o exercício da profissão. Há ameaças de morte, bombas colocadas em jornais e rádios, e até sequestro e morte de profissionais.

A continuidade dessa política é um grande desafio para os candidatos. Se resolvem dar um passo atrás, podem abrir espaço para que os chefões do tráfico, já com bastante influência em alguns Estados, impossibilitem o governo do próximo presidente. Se acentuam a guerra contra o crime organizado, podem causar ainda mais mortes.

O documento dos intelectuais é assinado por nomes como o escritor e ex-chanceler Jorge Castañeda, o ator Gael García Bernal (o Che Guevara de “Diários de Motocicleta”), a autora Ángeles Mastretta e o ex-reitor da UNAM, principal universidade do país, Juan Ramón de la Fuente.

  1. The next time I read a blog, Hopefully it does not disappoint me just as much as this one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read through, however I actually believed you would probably have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of crying about something you could possibly fix if you weren’t too busy seeking attention.

  2. I will immediately grab your rss feed as I can’t find your email subscription link or newsletter service. Do you have any? Please let me know in order that I could subscribe. Thanks.

  3. Hi there! This article couldn’t be written any better! Looking through this post reminds me of my previous roommate! He constantly kept talking about this. I’ll send this information to him. Fairly certain he’ll have a great read. I appreciate you for sharing!

  4. Many thanks for making the effort to talk about this, I feel strongly about this and love studying a great deal more on this matter. If feasible, as you gain knowledge, would you mind updating your weblog with a great deal more information? It’s extremely beneficial for me.

  5. I have read a few of the articles on your website now, and I really like your style of blogging. I added it to my favorites blog site list and will be checking back soon. Please check out my site as well and let me know what you think.

  6. You are my breathing in, I have few web logs and occasionally run out from brand :). “Yet do I fear thy nature It is too full o’ the milk of human kindness.” by William Shakespeare.

  7. You lost me, buddy. I mean, I suppose I get what youre stating. I have an understanding of what you’re saying, but you just appear to have overlooked that you’ll find some other individuals within the world who see this issue for what it really is and may well not agree with you. You may well be turning away a decent amount of men and women who may have been supporters of your blog.

  8. One more thing to say is that an online business administration study course is designed for learners to be able to easily proceed to bachelors degree programs. The Ninety credit certification meets the other bachelor diploma requirements so when you earn your associate of arts in BA online, you should have access to up to date technologies in such a field. Some reasons why students are able to get their associate degree in business is because they are interested in this area and want to receive the general education necessary previous to jumping to a bachelor college diploma program. Thanks alot : ) for the tips you actually provide within your blog.

  9. What are you saying, man? I know everyones got their own viewpoint, but really? Listen, your web site is interesting. I like the effort you put into it, especially with the vids and the pics. But, come on. Theres gotta be a better way to say this, a way that doesnt make it seem like most people here is stupid!

  10. Howdy! This blog post couldn’t be written much better! Looking through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He continually kept talking about this. I am going to forward this post to him. Fairly certain he’ll have a very good read. Many thanks for sharing!
