In Italy, about ten days ago, something new has happened , in 62 years of history. The left is out, communists, socialists and even green are out, will be "the first April 25th Brigade Garibaldi where our Matteotti and are not represented in parliament, "he told a companion in a chat messenger.
E 'Curiously, in these days, in Mexico, virtually the opposite is happening. Instead of staying out of the parliament, the deputies and senators of the center-left coalition in These days they're working on . Yes, occupying. Parliamentarians of the Frente Amplio Progressive we are sleeping in with sleeping bags and preventing the flow of work. No, it is the Palazzo Campana '67. Neither of the New Palace Pantera, or the Wisdom of No Moratti. And 'the Senate of the United Mexican States, in April 2008. No joke. But to understand everything, you better make some assumption about an increasing challenge, wherever and however the center of everything: oil.
Mexico is an oil producer, sixth in the world, first in Latin America (Venezuela in front of the data of 2005). The deposits are concentrated in states that face the Gulf of Mexico (Campeche, Tabasco, Veracruz, Tamaulipas). In 1938 President Lazaro Cardenas nationalized the whole oil sector in the country. Were expropriated all foreign companies, mostly U.S. and British and Dutch Shell. Tata Cardenas is still revered as a god by the left half-Mexican, and especially for the events of that March 18 of seventy years ago: the radio address that gives the marching orders by Shell and friends, the army which oversees the reserves. Thus was born
Pemex, Petroleos Mexicanos, a public undertaking which holds a monopoly on the exploitation of natural resources on Mexican territory. And the sale on national soil: here gasolinerias only and exclusively Pemex, there are distributors who do not have the colors green and red and Loghetto eagle. Only Pemex y nada mas. Pemex contributes to the budget of the country for 39%. But there are problems: Although the price of oil has risen beyond the stars in recent years, the accounts of paraestatal are in red, also appears to spread corruption, both at the top of the company in the union. Another premise
necessary: \u200b\u200bin 2000 he won presidential election of Vicente Fox's PAN, the center-right, the first president not from the PRI after 71 years, in short, the PAN, as well as being ultra-Catholic, is liberal and pro-US. The government statunintense years ago because liberizzino pressure on neighboring Mexican oil. And with the PAN to the government begins to spread through the idea of \u200b\u200bprivatizing Pemex, or at least open up some sectors to foreign private companies. In 2006 he wins with the PAN, Felipe Calderon the election (probably fraudulent, but we'll talk about high time), and the privatization project seems to become reality soon.
For months, Pemex is the theme at the center of political debate, in institutions, the press, public opinion. The leftist party, the PRD, strongly opposes. (S) to sell a strategic asset to excellence, looks like a threat, a betrayal to the people of Mexico, like madness. And just remember that numerino mentioned earlier, that 39%, to power a legitimate fear really means a State which is already poor, deprived of its main wealth. Selling it to foreign companies in the name of the ideology of the private work of efficient private. Moreover
the clash is not only the political and ideological, but also technical: the pro-privatization support for liberalization to take full advantage giaacimenti underground with the technology available today is not the Pemex could be explored; opposites respond spades the alleged new explorations, however, seem in fact, enough of the existing fields.
In recent months, there was no talk of nothing else. But the ' parliamentary process had not yet started: therefore speak of Pemex was just a chat bar. How about football this year America is low, the Pumas and Chivas van also very strong. How about the (much loved here) lucha libre : Blue Demon, Superbarrio and others. But two weeks ago, the reform of the oil industry was officially in Parliament. A few weeks and decide the fate of Mexican oil.
Since then, began the Okkupati.
