Article 39 (Artículo 39)

[ENGLISH + ESPAÑOL]

On the eve of the commemoration of the anniversary of the Constitution of the United Mexican States, it’s worth taking a close look at and analyzing just how obsolete this post revolutionary document has become. This document was supposed to help Mexico become a ‘civilised’ society, yet now fills many with doubt.

Recent structural reforms proposed by Enrique Peña Nieto, Mexico’s President, to alter certain articles in the Constitution have been pushed through Congress with a gangster-like methodology. The article most affected by these reforms, Article #27, protected the resources of the nation from the interests of the national and international private sectors, and established, above all else, the autonomy of the Mexican state in making decisions regarding its resources for reasons of national security,

For a long time, the big capitalists have been pursuing amendments that would allow them to use their wealth to obtain possession of Mexico’s energy, the country’s greatest asset as measured by the “the modern world”.

Today these groups have managed to trample all over the Constitution and tear down the constitutional wall.  With these changes, the capacity of the state to protect the rights of all Mexicans is deteriorating. The Constitution has been amended by rapacious and irresponsible lobbyists, not in the interests of the country, or for the benefit of the people, but for the convenience of powerful corporations.

Our alleged public servants have not allowed any room for discussion and debate. Like mercenaries, they are commercialising policies as if they were merchandise, and selling them to so-called “people’s representatives ” of different political parties to gain influence.

In response, intellectuals and opinion leaders, the opponents of the current regime, have called for the formation of a People’s Congress using the power granted under Article #39, which allows the people to alter at any time the form of its government if it is not working for the benefit of the population.

In the first instance, a proposal to repeal the constitutional reforms in the energy sector will be voted on, and in turn, peaceful civil resistance actions will be organized. The recent reforms, however, have been “reinforced” to ensure they cannot be stopped – complicating this resistance movement.

Mexico’s despair has motivated the people to seek alternatives to counterbalance the biased decisions of the corrupt political class of the current failed state. Just as self-defence groups in several parts of the country have taken up arms to protect themselves against organized crime, civil society is now doing the same. The biggest threat to the stability of a corrupt government is the people themselves, as they begin to organize.

In a country where public institutions continually demonstrate their inability to function, and where there is no trust in the electoral process as political opposition during presidential elections is suppressed, acts of resistance can balance the widespread discouragement and acute individualism promoted by the ruling classes.

The current media spectacle in Mexico surrounding the execution of Mexican National Edgar Tamayo in Texas is reinforcing the devaluation of the deaths of Mexicans that result from Mexico’s own crisis of violence, where thousands are dying in much more horrific circumstances than capital punishment. In turn, this media spectacle reinforces the perception amongst the Mexican people of the dominant paternalism of our neighbour, the USA. Televised statements from the family of the police officer allegedly killed by Tamayo send a message that the death of a person with a dubious criminal record is  “justice”, simply because he was tried under the laws of another country that are coveted by our own.  Let’s hope that actions such as the formation of the People’s Congress generate real options and signify a new trend where people are actively committed to social change.

The good thing about all of this, after all, is that the people are mobilising.

En vísperas de la conmemoración de un aniversario más de la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, vale la pena analizar, que tan obsoleto se ha vuelto este acuerdo postrevolucionario, con el cuál se suponía, nos convertiriamos en una sociedad civilizada de lo cuál, ahora tengo mis dudas. Las recientes Reformas estructurales propuestas por el Presidente de la República, que lograron su aprobación entre métodos gangsteriles en el Congreso, alteraron algunos de sus artículos, siendo el más afectado el  #27, que por cuestiones de seguridad nacional, protegía los recursos de la Nación, de los interéses de la iniciativa privada nacional e internacional y establecia ante todo, la autonomia del Estado en decisiones de este nivel de trascendencia para el pais.  Durante mucho tiempo, los grandes capitales habian estado persiguiendo esas modificaciones que les permitiera ingresar su dinero y obtener  la posesión de los energéticos mexicanos, la mayor riqueza del país en el mundo moderno. Hoy esos grupos, lograron tirar el cerco constitucional con la pisoteada de la Carta Magna que lejos de ver mejoría, empeora la autonomía en las decisiones del Estado y prácticamente deslinda a este, de la protección de los derechos de los mexicanos. Ahora se modifica de manera rapaz e irresponsable por cabilderos que no precisamente lo hacen por beneficio del pais, sino a conveniencia de poderosas corporaciones. Los presuntos servidores públicos, dejan de  fuera de toda tribuna de manera mercenaria, la discusión y el debate, y  comercializan con influencias políticas entre los llamados:  “representantes populares” pertenecientes a diferentes partidos políticos. Actualmente, intelectuales y lideres de opinión, opositores al régimen del momento, han convocado a la formación de un Congreso Popular, haciendo uso de las facultades que otorga el artículo 39 que permite al pueblo alterar en cualquier momento la forma de su Gobierno si este no actúa en beneficio de la población. En primera instancia se votará una propuesta que revoque las reformas constitucionales en materia energética y a su vez, algo complicado ya que curiosamente la Reforma esta “blindada” para no detenerse y también se organizarán acciones de resistencia civil pacifica. El hartazgo ha motivado que la sociedad busque alternativas para hacerle contrapeso a las decisiones tendenciosas de la corrupta clase politica del actual Estado Fallido. Así como las Autodefensas en varios lugares del territorio nacional, se levantaron en armas para protegerse del crimen organizado,  la sociedad civil analogamente hace lo mismo. Lo peligroso para la estabilidad del gobierno corrupto, es que el pueblo se organice. Ahora que ya nadie confía en los procesos electorales eb donde las instituciones públicas no sirven y la oposicion politica no existe o envejece, estas acciones de resistencia pueden equilibrar el desánimo generalizado y el agudo individualismo fomentado por las clases dominantes. Casos como el espectaculo mediático de la ejecución de Edgar Tamayo en Texas, refuerzan la desvalorización de la muerte de un mexicano en plena crisis de violencia en el pais, donde miles dentro del territorio nacional ha muerto en circunstacias aún mas terrrorificas que con una inyección letal y a su vez, reactivan el paternalismo dominante que se percibe hacia el país vecino mediante las declaraciones televisadas de la familia del supuesto policia asesinado por Tamayo, al considerar justa la muerte de una persona con dudoso proceso penal solo por ser juzgado bajo las leyes de otros pais que son anheladas por el nuestro. Esperemos que este tipo de acciones como el Congreso Popular, generen propuestas reales y den camino a una nueva corriente conformada por personas comprometidas con el cambio social, aún cuando la oposición civil se encuentra en una transición hacia una nueva izquierda que haga contrapeso al avasallante aparato politico del momento. Lo bueno de todo esto, es que el país, sigue en movimiento.
