| Deputies from Morena and allies approved in general and in particular the initiative so that the Secretary of National Defense (Sedena) has total control of the National Guard. |
After a discussion that lasted more than 12 hours, the proposal promoted by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador was endorsed by the legislative majority of Morena, the Labor Party and the Green Party. By agreement of the parliamentary groups, two votes were cast. The first contemplated the three articles of the initiative, as well as the transitory ones, which resulted in 264 votes in favor, 212 against and one abstention.
The second vote, referring to the Law on Promotions and Rewards of the Mexican Army and Air Force, in matters of the National Guard and Public Security, obtained 451 votes in favor, 23 against and one abstention. The initiative aims to give operational, financial and administrative control of the National Guard to the Ministry of National Defense.
However, this police force would continue to be assigned to the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection to preserve its civilian character, although operated by the Army. The Mexican president has pointed out that, when the military have violated human rights, it is because they received instructions from the civilian command, referring to previous presidents. He trusts perhaps candidly that, in the future, whoever occupies the Executive will not order the commission of such profusely documented crimes in Mexico and in the world.
In addition to the above, the announced agreement to transfer the National Guard to the Sedena is contrary to the Constitution. There is no ambiguity in this, the Magna Carta defines the National Guard as an organization of a civil nature and also establishes that this dependency will be subordinate to the Ministry of Public Security. No presidential agreement could be above this double mandate without violating the democratic order. In addition, the National Guard law orders that this police force be a "civilian public security institution, attached as a decentralized administrative body to the Secretary of Public Security."

Just wait, all you haters will come around to support my boy ALMO.
ReplyDeleteNegative 46 percent approval rating, going downhill. Grampa Obrador needs to retire.
DeleteALMO's administration will forever be a joke. 17 de octubre de 2019 would never even occur in countries like Brazil
ReplyDeleteI’m no other civilized country in the world.
DeleteYeah. Consolidate to centralize corruption, even if it's contrary to Mexican constitution, which is often used as toilet paper.
ReplyDeleteQueso
Salió mas Calderón que propio Felipe Calderón
ReplyDeleteMexicans gone look so dumb after all that preaching about not being PRI and not being a thief only to leave in 2 years with nothing changing
ReplyDelete7:12 a lot has changed, specially many chayoteros' pampers that got soiled for lack of MONEY to plug their nasty arseholes...
ReplyDeletethere is still 2 years and hope in spite of the military and the militarized federal poolice, they need a lot of special affairs and iron handed controls after a deep cleanse and purges to get rid of a lot of shit.
Internal Affairs needs to be up and running, the military and police can't be left to their own devices, they have never failed at being corrupt.
ReplyDeleteInternal affairs in Mexico is not as honest, as in USA, bad Apple's are also in there.
Delete7:55 Call it what you will, INTERNAL AFFAIRS with very sharp teeth and independence can control a lot of BS anywhere.
DeleteGenarco used lie detectors to purge opposing police corporations and infiltrate his own elements and many of them remain in office while moonlighting as private security officers and criminals, IA is needed more urgently than the consolidation of GN Under corrupt SEDENA HUEVOS.
