Blood For Money In South Florida
By Juan Fernando Perdomo *
begin to pay off the actions of business organizations and political parties who reject the integrity of the reforms made to the Federal Code of Electoral Institutions and Procedures (COFIPE). Mexico
Media reports: "For the first time organized around the business is covered against a new law, which gives life to the recently adopted electoral reform.
He continues: "We saw something unprecedented: the seven agencies with voice and vote of the Business Coordinating Council (Mexican Council of Businessmen, Coparmex, Concamin, Concanaco, Association of Banks in Mexico, Mexican Association of Insurance Institutions and the National Agricultural Council), ... announced disagree with the electoral reform on the grounds that threaten freedom of expression of the business. "
In a bulletin recently issued by the National COPARMEX reads:
"With the passage of electoral reform, COPARMEX was ready to defend - through the legal instrument of protection - not only freedom of expression and the right to information, but the principles of non-discrimination, freedom of association and equality before the law, all rights violated and limited for such reform.
"To date, the appeal brought by the Centers of Coparmex against electoral reform, and have been admitted in the first instance, now number 14, which is a clear indication of the strength of our arguments, have caused the different criteria exist in the judiciary in this regard, since we are in full right to defend the Constitution guarantees.
"The demands accepted by the District Courts are promoted by the Centers of: Ciudad Victoria and Matamoros in Tamaulipas, Tijuana and Ensenada in Baja California, Valle del Fuerte, Sinaloa, Cancun, Quintana Roo, Puebla, Aguascalientes , Veracruz, Durango and Zacatecas four more brought by partners in the business center.
"The exercise of a free and informed vote necessarily requires that citizens know the ideology of the party and candidate eligibility, as well as strengths and weaknesses of it, so you can evaluate and make an informed and aware.
"We live in democracy and a free regime should not be limited. The
Democracy is strengthened by the free expression of ideas and proposals by citizens through all means available. His interests are above the interests of political parties. "
The national CANACINTRA said: "We filed suit for injunction against Article 41 of the electoral reform, in relation to the ban on employing radio and television time to any person or entity, considering that it is a precept that violates freedom of expression to all Mexicans are entitled. "
addition, the industrial chamber "believes that constitutional reforms should aim at strengthening fundamental democratic electoral processes by means of the participation of all citizens in shaping the country we need to build, and not by mechanisms which explicitly prohibits views of Mexicans on the political proposals or aspiring to lead the country into any State or municipality, through the mass media, which is a serious setback in the path of democratic consolidation that we have come. " Canacintra
joins the Business Coordinating Council, Coparmex, and Concanaco Concamin as employer organizations that reject the inability to recruit electoral propaganda in electronic media.
Within political parties, the president of the National Executive Committee of Convergence, Luis Maldonado Venegas, along with the party's parliamentary coordinators the House of Representatives and Senate, Dip. Alejandro Burguete and Sen Chanona. Dante Delgado Rannauro, delivered in the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation a constitutional challenge against the Electoral Reform.
The Convergence enforcement action sets a precedent in our country. Is based on the fact that the activity of the reforming power violated fundamental legal and political decisions, as well as supreme values \u200b\u200bof the social-democratic state established by the Constituent Assembly of 1917. Convergence
Electoral Reform reiterates that violates the rights of citizens to include in Article 116 of the Constitution's exclusive political parties to register candidates for elected office. It thus violates the right of citizens to vote and be voted, as contained in Article 35 of the Constitution and is an act that threatens the country's democratic life.
The lawsuit by Convergence also notes that the constitutional amendment on electoral matters in violation of article 28, because it creates a monopoly by concentrating on a state agency procurement and distribution of the mass media.
is remarkable to see this work of citizen participation in matters of general interest to the public.
Why take a citizen the freedom to launch his candidacy without a party, as a citizen?
Why limit an entity's distribution of mass media?
We work for justice, so as citizens or political parties we believe we have by rights. It is a good way to participate! We will see that it ...
