Pemex (MEXICAN PETROLEUM): LIES
At this time in the political national view, the beginning of debate postponed about petroleum reform of Calderon is needed a recapitulation of some trues that are half lies or are pure lies about the proposal of the reform broad casted for the media and approved for some "intellectual" spokesmen. It is not true that Pemex "it is not going to be privatized, even is fortress", as the government message repeats one and one, again. Pemex it is privatized in activities that build the petroleum industry of Mexico as are the sectors of exploration, perforation and extraction of the petroleum as well as their refination, transportation, storage and sale of derivatives of the same. It is not true that an intense discussion have been done about the reform as Calderon told. Yes, have been a lot of TV cartoons to explain that we could find the deep treasure, newspaper advertisements in favor of the big enterprises and opinions of radio and TV broadcasting, but it is not an objective, plural and wide discussion.
It is not true that the proposal is legal because pretend modify the constitutional article number 27 {that says that all the goods in the land are property of the nation}. Yes, it is illegal because pretend modify secondary laws {those which are below in hierarchy of that article} a clear violation against the Mexican constitution since no one secondary law could be above of their law disposition. It is not true that in case of approval of the reform, as Calderon said, would be a "lever of prosperity that allows the surpassing of poverty could guarantee the education and health of all Mexican". It is true that it is pure demagogic because this implies the surpassing of the poverty of 55 million of Mexican, the plenty social economic development that even no one well developed country have even got. Is not true that Pemex have not technological capability to build refineries and give maintenance as well wide the gasoducts {Pemex cand do anything of those things}. Yes it is true the lack of responsibility attitude of the government to do not build refineries in 20 years and abandon the maintenance of ducts.
Is not true that taken of the Congress by the Frente Amplio Progresista is the highest illegality done "in democracy", as many want to say like those men defenders of the transitory and transitocracy. Yes, it is a highest illegal thing that the great majority of the deputies and senators, in front of the unconstitutional proposal of reform, do not comply with their obligation of respect and make to respect the Constitution, illegal initiative, illegitimate and anti national.
It is not true that Pemex needs the kind of technical autonomy and administratively proposal. Yes, require one, which offer to it the budget autonomy and the Council of Administration do not be conformed by representants of the President {the spurious one, that is the ilegitimate one like Calderon}, even that must be chosen by the Congress Union and State congresses with petroleum facilities (and of course those that have not petroleum in their territories).
It is not true that Pemex will well administered without major syndicate or administrative changes. It is true that inefficiency and corruption will continue since the high bureaucracy and syndicalist leadering will be not touched as well as their high salaries and bonus. It is not true that the business of petroleum it is not of high security of the State. It is true that any project of economical development and social must be including, with participation of the people and ecologically self-supporting and healthy from the economical point of view, strengthened with the capability of value added by the way of refination of gasolines and the support to productive chains that strength the economical internal market.
For that is it required an State politics in the area of petroleum and energetic matter in the long run. It is required that statesmen and even no of a "presidential" representative salesman of illusions {I could say the people, since the current "president" do not represent the majority since is not recognized like that}, nor even of legislative representants whom intend to approve all the initiatives showed as if they were extending a check in blank disadvantageous for the population and wil being of the high majority for the benefit of some people of national and foreign private interests, same that goes in detriment of the lower strength and "legitimacy" of the State institutions. Petroleum reform, that is not energetic, is the acid proof if a politic transition gets a democratic content or an oligarchy character remains.
