Resign?

http://fusion.net/story/25683/the-call-for-mexicos-president-to-resign-is-growing-louder/
The facts seem to be on the side of those calling for his resignation. A survey conducted Mexico’s National Institute for Statistics and Geography confirmed earlier this year that violent crime had increased more in the first 12 months of Peña Nieto’s presidency than in the two last years that his predecessor, Felipe Calderón, was in office. Additionally, 10.7 million households, or 33.9%, suffered some kind of crime last year. Also in 2013: 93.8% of crimes in Mexico either went unreported or were not investigated, mostly due to widespread distrust of the authorities. According to the Department of the Interior, there were more kidnappings during Peña Nieto’s first year in office than in any of the previous six years. The data collected thus far for 2014 is also disheartening.

Yep what a coincidence

He should have canceled the China trip.....Tone deaf.....
(Reuters) - Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Sunday condemned violent protests over the apparent massacre of 43 students after demonstrators set fire to the door of his ceremonial palace in Mexico City on Saturday night.

Tens of thousands of Mexicans have taken to the streets to protest the government's handling of the case of the missing students, and last night protesters in central Mexico City set fire to the door of the National Palace.

"It's unacceptable that someone should try to use this tragedy to justify violence," Pena Nieto told reporters at the airport in Anchorage, Alaska where he was en route to China. "You can't demand justice while acting with violence."

The students were abducted by corrupt police in southwestern Mexico in September. Though the government said on Friday it looked as though the students had been killed, then incinerated by gangsters working with the police, it stopped short of confirming their deaths for lack of definitive evidence.

EPN quote from above source:

“Mexican society says no to violence,” he said, referring to the burning door. “We say yes to justice, order, harmony, tranquillity, and we say yes to the application of justice.”

Too bad it does not apply to the gobierno

So many seem to be glad that the 38 bodies found earlier were not the missing students. Does anyone care who those 38 were?

José Cárdenas criticizes Peña Nieto’s “fitful approach to endemic security issues”:

What Guerrero puts into bold relief is the huge chasm between security efforts at the federal level, where security forces have been reshuffled and consolidated, and local levels, where weak and frequently corrupt state and municipal institutions have proved almost helpless against the armed capability and audacity of the large criminal groups, who have successfully infiltrated those same institutions and forces. Guerrero should be a watershed moment for Mexico, convincing Mexico City elites that the security situation is not a distraction from the economic agenda, but instead that dismantling the operations of criminal enterprises is indispensable to their nations’ stability and prosperity. Clearly, ordinary citizens are finding the levels of criminal violence unbearable and are losing patience with government strategies.

According to sources on the ground and various news reports, upwards of 300 to 500 bodies have been found in fossas (Common graves) in Guerrero.
And correct, no one in government is talking about them. Newly reported 31 students abducted by local police in broad daylight in July this year and unaccounted for but one fossa had 31 bodies in it. This puts the lie to the common Govt. response that it is Cartel killing Cartel.

Here is a reliable source of information with references - BorderlandBeat.com

Things need to change from the bottom up not the top down. Ordinary people are taking matters into their own hands in some communities with good effect.


On orders from Carlos Vásquez Rebollar, the mayor of San Baltazar Chichicapan, Oaxaca, three men who are cousins of the PRI Municipal President, shot people from the community, leaving 17 people

injured, including women and children.

The mayor is a fugitive. (at left)

According to the Supremo, newspaper, the incident occurred on Thursday November 6th at 3:00 PM, when residents of the town were preparing to march in protest against the mayor, in the streets of Mount Isa, where the mayor's home is located. The grievance against the mayor is a common grievance against municipal presidents, he is accused of “illicit personal enrichment”. Citizens charge the mayor with absconding 12 million pesos, and purchasing luxury SUVs and real estate with public funds.

The people of Chichicapan had summoned him on November 5th to a meeting, to account for the allocation of public resources, however, the mayor did not attend.

The actions by the people, enraged Mayor Vasquez, who ordered brothers, Adolph, Roman and Ceferino Santiago Vasquez, cousins of the mayor, to fire on citizens who were outside his home.

The men armed with shotguns and ascended to the roof of the mayor’s house, shooting into the crowd from that vantage point.

Many of the injured were children, passing by as school had just recessed, for the day.

After the shooting, the three shooters, took refuge in the house of the mayor, until the arrival of members of the State Investigation Agency (AEI), who finally arrested the assailants, except Carlos Vasquez, who fled before the arrival of the police, and is a fugitive.

The mayor was from the party of the left....all parties are corrupt.

The Cartel and Goberino are one in the same.
