official negligence to floods
official management of national waters is a disaster due to the incompetence, negligence and corruption of government on duty. This has returned to show them to the recent flooding in the Valley of Mexico. But in the capital and the country, governments continue with a foolish policy of water privatization. We demand the cancellation of all contracts and concessions to multinationals.
criminal negligence
Rains "off season" that hit the Valley of Mexico, and states of Hidalgo and Michoacan, days 2, 3 and 4 February, exposed the network of complicity which maintained right-wing neo-liberal and neo-liberal "modern left."
In those days there were constant rains both in the northwest of the city, and in suburbs, such as Ecatepec, Nezahualcoyotl, and Chalco, State of Mexico (Edomex). The human losses were more substantial Angangeo, Michoacan, where they have over 30 dead. The dam
Forest, the National Water Commission (Conagua, CNA) killed three workers and one more base was seriously injured by being forced by the authorities, with all the bad weather and high risk implied, to perform risky maneuvers to place a screen in the intake and prevent plugged with trash. The four employees of the CNA, he never refused to perform the dangerous job but argued that
lacked the elements to have the minimum security. Even so were forced to undertake the work to lose their lives.
The three levels of government knew about the contingency
It existed
negligence in all cases because the three levels of government [federal, state, municipal and Federal District Government itself (GDF)] knew about the contingency for bad weather. It is true that rainfall was atypical but it is also true, that were higher than those found in summer. What happened was a complete and absurd lack of communication between the agencies involved.
neglect and poor communication cost material damage to the homes of over one hundred thousand inhabitants of the valley of Mexico. Is likely to recover property damage but long term human lives will be unrecoverable.
Angangeo, Michoacan, is a village razed by the fury of nature but also by the negligence of not stopping the destruction of forested areas and the effects of mining.
data and data will come but no one is guilty
But no one takes responsibility for the flooding in some areas were over 2 meters high. Calderon is guilty at first instance because, due to the extinction of Luz y Fuerza del Centro (LFC), the day of the facts, there was no electric power to move the electric gates. Contractors of the Commission Federal de Electricidad (CFE) did not respond and could not restore the service time electric power.
After the catastrophe, the ANC and its director, Lose Luis Luege Tamargo, blamed Marcelo Ebrard, head of GDF, and the director of the Water System of the Federal District. These, in turn, twisty pointing out that the warnings of the CNA by heavy rains never arrived with the precision and with adequate time to take preventive measures.
drainage of the city and suburbs
Mexico City and its suburbs use three main systems of rainwater evacuation:
1. Deep drainage with 17.3 million m3 per day with their interceptors
2. The Grand Canal with 3.5 million m3 per day
3. The issuer West with 2.6 million m3 per day
This makes a total of 23.4 million m3 per day but, according to Conagua, is only 14.3 million m3 per day. Luege
and Calderon repeatedly insist that deep drainage can collapse. But what collapsed was the whole drainage network of the city by his absurd political war against Ebrard, who also is believed by 2012 presidential candidate.
businesses before and after the tragedy
In November 2009, Luege in reunion with Marcelo Ebrard and Enrique Pena Nieto, governor of the State of Mexico, had agreed that more than 120 million pesos for the construction of the issuer east, one of the most costly and more inflated figures in the federal government, would be used for maintenance of rivers and shallow canals of the city and the metropolitan area.
So, would be rehabilitated the Grand Canal, the Rio de Los Remedios, the Rio de La Compania and other more important and that the work of the tear in mid November. Question: When work was carried out, where are the 120 million dollars invested? We demand clear accounts of his wrongdoing!
In Tabasco, in May 2009 as the Herald announced Tabasco day 14, the Secretary of Public Function detect a diversion of resources for more than 75 million pesos in the execution of protection works, referred to in the Comprehensive Water Plan. The state director of the Conagua, Komukai Celin Omar Puga, I accept the irregularities and pledged to address them to avoid administrative responsibilities and criminal character.
According to the document of more than 800 sheets, held by the Heraldo de Tabasco, corruption and irregularities observed in the public works of the following records: SGIH-OCFS-TAB-08-035-FN-D, and The company involved is CM Gulf with fraud over 2 million pesos, the company Armadora Tabasco is involved in a fraud of more than 4 ½ million dollars to the record SGIH-OCFS-TAB-08-036-FN-D, and the company linked to the file Napoleon SGIH-OCFS- TAB-08-033-FN-D you have to clarify the comments in an amount exceeding 21 million pesos. Here are some examples of equipment that protects Luege.
The administration of the ANC has brought people from different states of the Republic to place at strategic points. Such is the case of the director of the agency's technical direction Cuenca del Valle de Mexico, Martin Ortiz Montes, who boasts of cronyism with Jose Luis Luege, who brought it to Chiapas.
A river fishing in troubled
The population is tired of that, "fishing in troubled river" since, have demonstrated the ability of right-wing neo-liberals to do business with the public treasury is notorious. Moreover, in every misfortune come afloat fraud and unfinished work.
Investigate Luege close relationship with the company maintains Sub Marelher, SA de CV, a provider Conagua constant, since, before becoming director of this was strong promoter of the company, which, in turn, "won" several bids for the installation of "concrete wall hangings."
are already many dead and several floods like Tabasco. There are now many errors, such as subejercicios budget. Only in 2009 was 1.800 billion pesos invested in investment projects, with a budget of 8,640.9 million pesos. That is, only exerted 20%. Additionally, there are many blunders in the management of black people say that politics is "wool and power." How long put up with it as director of the Conagua?
Over 20 years dismantling the National Water Sector
Before the founding of the ANC or Conagua, Miguel de la Madrid dio los golpes más certeros a la extinta Secretaría de Agricultura y Recursos Hidráulicos (SARH), y redujo su presupuesto drásticamente para hacerla inoperante ante los ojos de los ciudadanos. Con estas medidas, le puso a Carlos Salinas de Gortari la mesa para la privatización de los servicios del agua en todo el país. Esa política siguió su curso con Ernesto Zedillo, luego Vicente Fox y ahora Calderón, individuo auto-nombrado presidente de México y del empleo.
Junto a esa política de deterioro y desmantelamiento, disminuye la plantilla laboral de trabajadores sindicalizados, se escatiman recursos económicos para el mantenimiento preventivo y correctivo que como consecuencia trae flooding, reduced or denied employment benefits and social workers base, staff are recruited through out-sourcing outside the law to avoid paying their employee benefits, covering internships, temporary contracts or fees for 3 or 6 months, in some cases up to one year, giving to the institution the same day you go to work, and are denied essential tools for development work.
water services in the City leased to transnational
In the city of Mexico is expected that contracts with multinational water companies, which expired in May 2009 not endorsed because it did not materialize the promises made by corporations.
Floods continue, the shortage of drinking water is constant, no one can deny that the least interest to these companies is the provision of good service, which their owners are looking for easy profit without investing a single dollar, and which are becoming more and hydraulic infrastructure that exists today in this strategic sector.
The consequences in terms of work are in the movement of skilled labor and the attack on the working material, ie, a frontal attack on workers.
Marcelo Ebrard, "modern left", is jointly responsible for the flood of February 4 because, having signed new contracts with the multinationals Veolia (Proactive Environment), Suez (Bal-Ondeo) French capital and Bechtel gringa, supports a range of work is not completed by these companies that in any moderately democratic country, and had been classified as fraud that hurt the people of Mexico City and had been given legal tender for that: either return the money or do good work, or jail for noncompliance.
return, in 2010, the GDF increase rates for water service, but still giving them a higher profit margin for companies foreign service will follow the terrible, the tandem and the poor quality of drinking water. Given this scenario
black workers and general population demand the cancellation of all contracts awarded by governments to private companies. We should not tolerate that we are required to timely payment of water and other services when it is received, it is not just drinking water and good services.
is necessary that the work of dredging, maintenance of water mains and all other service workers return to the Water System of Mexico City, because, on one hand we have the private companies charging a fortune for bad and realized how bad work and on the other hand, there are unemployed workers who do not have to do because they have been displaced by anyone other than the institutions.
