At least the tourists are happy (Oaxaca)… part II
Senator Cue was the PRD-PAN-PT-Convergencia fusion candidate for Oaxacan governor against Ulises Ruiz in 2004. I’ve yet to hear of anyone — even from PRI — who claims that was a fair election, or that Ruiz didn’t steal the governorship… which is one of the factors leading up to last summer’s “people power” movement.

El UniversalJueves 11 de enero de 2007With torture and sexual abuse accusations proliferating against state and federal authorities handling the arrest and jailing of Oaxaca protesters, a senator from that state brought the issue before Congress Wednesday.
But Gabino Cue even failed to convince his fellow lawmakers to pass a resolution calling on President Calderón to guarantee the safety of human rights workers who are in Oaxaca investigating those very accusations.
The language of the resolution echoed a petition from the Mexican Human Rights Defense League claiming that its members are being harassed by Oaxaca state officials. Other human rights organizations have voiced similar concerns.
“A dirty war has been unleashed in the state against more than 40 non-government human rights organizations,” Cue said.
Local, national and international groups are in Oaxaca to investigate abuse claims by the families of protesters rounded up in a Nov. 25 sweep.
Those complaints, many aired Tuesday in a public forum at the Chamber of Deputies in Mexico City, include forced sex acts, beatings, death threats, humiliation and unsanitary conditions.
At the forum Tuesday, the mother of a student who had been detained read a statement from her son alleging that at least 15 young persons were sexually abused as they were transported to a prison in the state of Nayarit, more than 1,000 kilometers away.
Oaxaca state officials have not responded to the charges, which surfaced this week. Federal Interior Secretary Francisco Ramírez Acuña pointedly refused to comment when confronted by the press Tuesday.
More than 200 people were arrested on Nov. 25 by federal police, who had moved into Oaxaca in October to quell a six-month uprising by activists demanding the resignation of Gov. Ulises Ruiz. They were detained in several different prisons in and out of the state. About three dozen are still in custody.
Though it achieved its objective of calming Oaxaca City´s streets, the crackdown was controversial. Several recent reports from human rights groups say many of the arrests were arbitrary.
“The government was so eager to criminalize the social movement in Oaxaca that it rounded up people who weren´t even involved in it,” Cue said, speaking on the same Chamber floor where the forum on human rights abuses had been held the day before.
…
“Eight months after the conflict started … a sad, disconsolate atmosphere prevails in Oaxaca,” he said. “Nobody is in jail for any of the more than 15 murders; the only ones behind bars are people who participated in the popular movement.”

Mexico’s tequila production, exports reach record levels
dpa German Press Agency
Published: Wednesday January 10, 2007
Mexico City- The global success of Mexican tequila is growing, and the North American country posted records in both production and exports in 2006, the Tequila Regulating Council said Wednesday. Mexico exported 140 million litres of its alcoholic national drink last year, a 19.65 per cent increase over the 2005 figure.Production of tequila – traditionally associated with the state of Jalisco – rose 15.68 per cent, to 242 million litres, the council said.
The largest importer of tequila was the neighbouring United States, with 106 million litres, followed by the European Union with 15.9 million litres. Chile, China, Japan and the Bahamas are also prominent importers.
A total of 778,000 tonnes of agave were used as a raw material for Mexico’s 2006 tequila production.

Department of DUHHHH…
OK, I admit it… I’ve developed an unhealthy fascination with the statistics reports this blog generates. I’m really surprised that there’s over 300 people a day interested enough to read this (less on weekends and holidays, natch). And that I’ve had visitors from places like Iran (Sa’allam — sorry, I can’t do Farsi script) and the Army Intellegence Corps computer in Mannheim Germany (Howdy… Sirs. I assume you were here to plan your trip to Cancan, and not because of the “interesting” folks who come to visit from places like… oh… Iran. Whatever it was, I won’t ask, and you won’t tell).
I still puzzled though, when I look at the reports on search engine terms. How I ended up somehow as a source when you type in “Glenn Beck” is beyond me… but then, so is Glenn Beck. Not having a TV is a blessing: from his internet site, I gather he’s something like the names of Satan — LEGION. As in Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, yadda-yadda-yadda.
Anway, I looked up Glenn Beck’s website. Apparently, his TV show included a segment on this starting revelation:
SEX OFFENDER STING GETS THOUSANDS OF FOREIGNERS
The source is that piece of trash, whack-job yellow journalism rag highly reliable informative source, Wing Nut Word Net Daily.
More than 9,000 sex offenders have been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials through a series of stings called Operation Predator in three years of operation, a 2006 Department of Homeland Security Report says. But some experts are wondering if the efforts are enough to protect innocent American children from being preyed on by returning criminal alien sex offenders
Who are these “some experts”… damned if I can tell. The fine folks at WND then tell us…
Foreign nationals account for roughly 85 percent of child sex offenders arrested by the operation, which was launched by Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge in July 2003, officials say.
Before you light your torches and start chasing the monsters across the border(s), you might want to take a look at this partial sentence…
The program was designed to safeguard children from foreign national pedophiles, human traffickers and international sex tourists
OH… I see. Homeland Security (and pedophiles, disgusting and gross as they may be, aren’t exactly a threat to the homeland, but what the hey…) was looking for foreign perverts, and most of the sleazebags they found while seaching specifically for foreign perverts they found turned out to be… foreigners.
Why can’t the right-wing idiots find a more credible newscaster? Oh… oh…. NEVER MIND…
Bridge closed ahead
In my 2003 book for foreign teachers working in Mexico, I had this to say about the National Holidays:
Thanks to 19th century dictator, Porfirio Diaz, whose birthday was September 15, the day before Independence Day, Mexican holidays stretch an extra day (el Puente) whenever feasible: If a holiday is in the middle of the week, people will just not show up for class (or work) the days before or after if they can make up some slightly plausible excuse.
Them’s were the good ol’ days… I never resented the “sick kids,” the ‘out of town meeting’ or more ridiculous rationalizations I’d hear for why nobody was around on Monday, when Tuesday was a holiday. Yeah, I would get a little perturbed if the holiday was Wednesday and nobody was around Monday OR Tuesday, but it always seemed rational to me.
Mexicans work TOO HARD. Even those fresas I generally worked with put in a lot of hours (though they didn’t seem to be real productive for a lot of the day — but then, fresas aren’t the most productive members of society to begin with), had long commutes home (the buses are still crammed at 8:30 pm in Mexico City with commuters heading out to the ‘burbs). The clerks, the security guards, the janitors — some of them worked even longer hours. And, all those “self-employed” people? When did they go home?
I know Mexico was the first country to put wages, hours and working conditions into their constitution, and I know the Constitution limits the hours you CAN work, but just like Gringolandia, the trend has been to force office workers especially (and everyone generally) to put in more hours at the same rate of pay. I don’t think I was particularly subversive in buying into la puente. Heck, I wanted time off too (and, what the heck… if I got paid to go somewhere at 8 in the AM, knowing full well no one was going to show up, I could plan for my regular trip to the zoo to visit my friends the pinguinos… the zoo’s got a great penguin pen — where you can watch them fly underwater — and I like penguins). Getting paid to go watch the penguins seemed reasonable to me, considering how much “extra” labor everyone in the country puts in.
DAMN. It must be an imperialista plot (“es un complot,” as AMLO always said). They’ve moved THREE holidays to the nearest Monday in the month (Constitution Day in Februrary; Benito Juarez’ birthday in March; Revolution Day in November — which Vincente Fox tried to do away with altogether, but then I think he was trying to undo the Revolution anyway). Somehow they kept Cinco de Mayo on Cinco de Mayo, but that’s not much of a Mexican holiday… if you want a good Cinco de Mayo fiesta, go to San Antonio or Butte, Montana, not Mexico City (I’m wondering if it was kept for the tourists who expect it to be a holiday).
Constitution Day was never a biggie for me, and I always looked foreward to the Revolution Day parade: a military parade in an anti-miltaristic country is a site to behold. The people would cheer for the city garbage trucks, and boo the cops. And, the army accountants, smartly marching with their laptop computers were always a hit.
But geeze, 21 March, not the third Monday in March, is Benito Juarez Day. Benito, along with everything else, pushed through the separation of Church and State… opening the country to Mormons and Jehovahs’ Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists as well as those strange rituals practiced by God’s Frozen People: Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, etc. Benito himself once floated the idea of bringing in Protestant missionaries, but — wise man that he was — realized that Mexican life is hard enough and folks who don’t have saints didn’t throw good fiestas in honor of the local saint’s day. People might work harder, he said, but their lives would be poorer.
But, even Mexican Mormons and Presbyterians need some excuse for a fiesta… and Benito Juarez’ birthday is as close to a Protestant Saint’s day as they’re likely to get. Since I don’t drink anyway, the Protestant and Mormon blow-out at Parque Alameda was always a must-do for me (plus, the sheer weirdness of an all-women’s Marchiaci Gospel singing group is something you don’t get to experience every day).
March 21 is something else — Vernal Equinox. Sacred to all good New Agers, and the pyramids — and the City — are overrun with Norweigan sun worshippers, followers of the Fifth Ra of Switzerland and other very interesting folks. They always assumed the 21 March fiesta was THEIRS (and, in a way it was) … the Mormons and the hippies and the Baptists and those of us just looking for tequila-free “real Mexico” have been shortchanged.
¡Señor Presidente! This is a bridge too far!
Mas tortillas, por favor…
I’d be more likely to blame this on the expected jump in corn prices once the subsidies for corn production end next year, and ADM (“Supermarket to the world”) and Conagra flood the Mexican market with corporate tax breaked, export subsidized , fuel subsidized… (but, God forbid, not “agricultural subsidized”) genetically modified corn and put the Mexican farmers (who were the folks who realized it’s edible in the first place) out of business…
El Universal Martes 09 de enero de 2007
Economy Secretary Eduardo Sojo said Monday that recent increases in tortilla prices reflect several recent developments, including transport difficulties, harvest woes and increased demand from new uses of corn as a fuel source Economy Secretary Eduardo Sojo said Monday that recent increases in tortilla prices reflect several recent developments, including transport difficulties, harvest woes and increased demand from new uses of corn as a fuel source.Tortilla prices went up to 10 pesos per kilo in some parts of the country over the weekend, sparking complaints from those who until recently were used to paying less than five pesos. Industry officials blamed the rising price of corn. “Corn costs 100 percent more than it did a year ago,” said Rafael Ortega Sánchez, director of the National Chamber of the Cornmeal and Tortilla Production Industry.
He also said that middlemen, such as distributors, are contributing to the tortilla inflation.
But, he said, tortilla prices in and around Mexico City are closer to seven or eight pesos a kilo. “In some out of the way places, however, it´s as high as 10,” Ortega said.
In Nezahualcóyotl, a city of more than 2 million just east of Mexico City in the State of Mexico, a kilogram of tortillas was selling for 10 pesos on Sunday.
Meanwhile, federal legislators from across the political spectrum criticized the high tortilla prices, saying they hurt the poor the most. Senators José Guillermo Anaya Llamas of the National Action Party (PAN) and Graco Ramírez Garrido of the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) both said they suspected that a federally mandated increase in gasoline prices, announced in November, was adding to the high tortilla costs.
Ortega Sánchez ruled out a return to government-controlled tortilla prices, but tortilla makers in Mexico City asked for federal action to control other basic costs they say are causing them to raise their prices. They said high gasoline costs are making them less competitive against the “disloyal competition” of the supermarkets, which sell tortillas at cheaper prices.
At least the tourists are happy (Oaxaca)
The APPO menfolk, thoroughly cowed by the PFP, have decided to confront legal authority with the women and children.
Mark in Mexico complains that women and children are protesting against these incarcerations. Probably not for the reason Mark thinks:
At the moment that I regained consciousness, my head was already bandaged. I was very beaten. My face was very inflamed. This eye was almost completely closed [indicating his left eye]. I had big bruises all over my body. And when I woke up, I didn’t have my shoes anymore, my cell phone was gone, as was a camera that I was carrying. I no longer had my driver’s license, my vehicle registration, or my voter registration card—all of the documentation that I usually carry on me. I had nothing, none of that documentation….
Upon recovering consciousness, I began to notice that the agents of the PFP were beginning to transfer the compañeros to an unknown destination. Many were being taken in buses, pickup trucks, and in my case, I was taken with others and we were put on top of each other – we were put on top of each other, one on top of the other – and, well, they took us towards an unknown destination. And during this entire trip, they were constantly threatening us, psychologically torturing us, and hitting us with the weapons they were carrying at the time. They were kicking us and hitting us with the butts of their weapons. They stepped on our fingers, our heads. These people truly created a situation of psychological torture for us.
… The theme of the journey was simply torture. Then there was a time when they parked for about 2 hours and they told us that a helicopter was coming for us, and that it was either going to take us to an unknown destination or that they were going to throw us out of the helicopter and that would be the end of us. They were always constant threatening us throughout the whole journey.
I know the city of Oaxaca very well, and I could hear what the PFP were saying. From what they were saying, I began to realize that they were probably taking us to the Women’s Prison at Tanivet, Tlacolula….
…around 2 or 3 in the morning, we arrived at the prison and I realized that there were many people that they had detained. At that moment, theywere talking about 74 men, 16 women, and 8 to 10 children – children, minors who had been taken to this prison.
What we are doing right now is starting to gather all of the information to see if it is possible to take a public denunciation to the national and international press, to expose wherever possible this whole process and my being a victim of injustice. I also want to tell you at this time that I am still in medical treatment for my condition, and I am paying all of the medical bills for the treatment I am receiving.
John Elderfield looks at Mexico’s most famous execution, — which was not captured on cell phone video for instant replay (and endless exegesis) — but creatively imagined — to give meaning to the lying superpower leader’s who lead their nation into war in the 1860s… and 2000s.
The Execution of Maximillian by Edouard Manet. Image: National Gallery
Last week images of the execution of Saddam Hussein were beamed around the world. News travelled much more slowly in June 1867, when a political execution took place under very different circumstances: the idealistic emperor Maximilian of Mexico, who had been installed three years earlier by a French intervention, faced a firing squad of resurgent nationalists. Learning the news, Edouard Manet made some of the greatest of all political paintings.
…We must also imagine him piecing together fragments of news, knowing that they did not realistically or completely describe what had happened, but offered, rather, the means of an imaginative act of rediscovery to create truly political art. Most of what is generally referred to as political art is really polemical art, simply asserting or reinforcing a belief, or often a blame. Truly political art, in contrast, does not reduce human affairs to slogans; it complicates rather than simplifies.
…Manet made this explicit. He had learned …that the soldiers’ uniform had resembled the French uniform, and he had probably seen photographs of the execution squad and the bullet-riddled clothes that Maximilian had worn. He brought into his studio a squad of French infantry to pose for the picture, and – in sheer provocation on his part – he also painted the facial features of the sergeant holding his musket so that they resembled those of Napoleon III. There was no way that Manet could, then, have received permission to exhibit this painting. Indeed, a photography dealer had been jailed simply for being in possession of some of the photographs of the execution that were then in clandestine circulation.
Manet gave the Sergeant the “real” executioner’s face. The Unapologetic Mexican might be surprised to hear it, but I don’t think he’ll object to being compared to a French 19th century master.
Brozo the Clown, AMLO and the Alternative Presidency…
AMLO has sort of dropped off the radar screen lately. I see that he’s getting his own TV show (early Tuesday mornings on TV Azteca) which should be as entertaining as his old Mayoral news conferences. I just wish he wasn’t such an early riser… he used to hold his daily press briefings at 6 AM
Being pretty well cut off from the media (Azteca and Televisa both traditionally follow the government line) had to have hurt. AMLO, do matter what you think of the guy, is a master at using the media. I expect he’ll use the early morning show much the way Brozo the Clown used “el Manañero” — bringing the “untouchable issues” into the media, where the press has no alternative but to talk about them. It was through Brozo that the Fox administration launched the “desafuero” campaign, leaking “evidence” that the Federal District Comptroller was dipping into the till. (That “evidence” btw, apparently came from the FBI, under the rubric of looking for “terrorists” in Las Vegas casinos).
Brozo and AMLO are a strange pairing, but Brozo’s only innovation was using TV. In the ancient pre-internet days, the Mexico City Times — a crappy newspaper indeed — survived not on the tourist readership sales — but on financing from factions within the PRI that wanted to slip their “spin” to the press (simple and devious. If it was in a second-rate foreign-language paper, obviously it meant nothing to the readership… but it gave the mass-market press something to reference and follow up, and a Mexican, not foreign, source for their information).
This isn’t what I expected from the Alternative Presidency, but give it time. Like Manuel Clouthier’s “Presidency” in 1988 after PAN came in 3rd in the presidential elections — Vincente Fox was alternative secretary of Agriculture ) it’s a way to groom leaders for the next election and — at least in AMLOs case — to act as a think tank and legislative pressure group.
The TV show meets ONE goal of the Alternative Presidency — “opening up the communications media” — but I think he’ll be using this program to start pushing the other goals (the whole list, in English, is in the Wikipedia biographical article on AMLO). Some of the goals — preventing tax increases that fall mostly on the poor — have already had some legislative success, but how much this is due to pressure from the Alternative Cabinet, and how much just because a soft-drink tax wasn’t likely to pass anyway, I can’t say.
Clouthier was killed in a traffic accident (though some PANistas will say it was no accident) too soon after the election to really judge the success of HIS Alternative Presidency. It was never really intended to do much other than put out position papers for the party faithful and keep the organization intact.
However… “Secretary of Agriculture” Fox did become President in 2000 and the Party was able to spend six years broadening its appeal, becoming the main opposition party in 1996, and taking over the Presidency in 2000.
AMLO is starting out with a lot more legitimacy for his “Alternative Presidency” than Clouthier had. Even among non-supporters — and those who don’t support the “Alternative Presidency” — there is suspicion that AMLO probably won.
IN 1988. PAN only received 17.11 percent of the vote in that dubious election (Cuauhtemoc Cardenas received 30.95 percent. That’s the official count, though everyone accepts that the count was manipulated to give Carlos Salinas at least a hair over 50 percent. Cardenas probably received something closer to 40 to 45 percent and beat Salinas, but some of his stolen votes were shifted to Clouthier, who probably had closer to 10 or 12 percent support).
OFFICIALLY, in 2006, AMLO received 35.31 percent, but probably a fraction more. Clouthier was nowhere near second place, and his “alternative government” had a long-term effect that I think will be much more noticable in AMLO’s case. I don’t know if he’ll be president in 2012. Unlike the U.S., Mexico doesn’t start thinking about the next president until a year or so before the elections. But I’d keep an eye on that “Alternative Presidency”. AMLO’s off and running. And, unlike Brozo, he doesn’t need to wear an orange wig to scare the opposition.
YO…
Sylvester Stallone, too?
(Dominican Today, Santo Domingo, DR January 5, 2007):
Mexico City.– Sylvester Stallone defended boxing, praised the hard work of Mexicans and dished out some jabs against U.S. plans to build a wall on its southern border, as the 60-year-old actor visited Mexico City to promote his sixth “Rocky” film.
Stallone said Thursday that “Rocky Balboa,” the latest installment in the underdog saga of the Italian Stallion, shows an ordinary man fighting back against life’s difficulties represented by his stronger ring opponents.
“It’s like bullfighting or certain sports where you understand the brutality,” he told reporters. “The thing is you have two men who are prepared; two men who have trained for this and know exactly what they’re doing. It’s not like two strong men attacking strangers.”
In “Rocky Balboa,” an MGM Pictures release, the aging scrapper is running a restaurant when a computer-simulated bout inspires him to put the gloves back on. In one scene, his character defends his restaurant’s immigrant cooks and waiters against slanderous comments.
“I support Mexicans who work in my country,” he said, adding that the United States depends on the hard work of Latinos to keep running.
In comments to Mexican media later, Stallone criticized plans to build 700 miles of fence along the border as an immigration-control measure.
Such a fence was “crazy” and “ridiculous,” he said, arguing that nations should be able to interact without being divided by walls.
The Mexican government has railed against the fence with former President Vicente Fox comparing it to the Berlin Wall.

Good news (for a change) for Mexican journalists
I had thought about writing on this issue, but I’m glad I waited. Nobody, in English or Spanish, comes close to writing as clearly on Mexican politics as the Herald’s Kelly Arthur Garrett:
Mexican journalism got a boost this week when a Mexico City judge threw out defamation charges against journalist and author Lydia Cacho.
Press freedom advocates generally praised the decision, and Cacho herself told the media she felt like “a survivor of corruption and political power.”
But as welcome as it may have been for Cacho´s peace of mind, Judge Lorenzo Medina´s ruling was a limited one. It marks a new beginning, not the end, of the Mexican media´s quest to criticize wrongdoing without fear of politically based repercussions, including jail time.
Nor does it end the confrontation between Cacho and the man who filed the defamation charges against her – Puebla textile magnate Kamel Nacif. The Supreme Court will soon take up Cacho´s claim that Nacif and Puebla Gov. Mario Marín conspired to violate her civil rights by subjecting her to mental and physical abuse during her December 2005 arrest.
To Cacho, the official harassment and the defamation accusation were two sides of the same coin – the use of the law by the rich (Nacif) and powerful (Marín) to stifle criticism.
Nacif, who was caught on audio tape arranging Cacho´s arrest with Marín, was identified as close to alleged pedophile Jean Succar Kuri in Cacho´s 2005 book “The Demons of Eden.” He promptly filed libel and defamation charges against the Cancún-based journalist, both criminal offenses.
The libel accusation was soon dropped, while the defamation charge stuck until Judge Medina´s decision Tuesday.
Libel (calumnia) is a false accusation in print; defamation (difamación) is any imputation communicated in bad faith that could harm a person´s reputation, even if it´s true.
But the case against Cacho was never decided on its merits. Instead, Cacho caught a break when the trial was moved from Puebla (where the charges were originally filed) to Quintana Roo (where she lives and works), and then to the capital (where “The Demons of Eden” was published).
Just months earlier, Mexico City legislators had officially decriminalized defamation.
“The judge dismissed the charges because in Mexico City there is no crime of defamation to be charged with,” said Carlos Lauría, who monitors the Americas for the Committee to Protect Journalists. “If it were still in Puebla, she probably would have been prosecuted.”
Therein lies the unresolved issue. Mexico City is the only entity that has decriminalized defamation, meaning any journalist outside the capital who uncovers negative information about anybody runs the risk of criminal charges if it´s printed or aired.
“Fearing that you´ll end up in prison obviously has a chilling effect on a journalist,” Lauría said in a phone interview from New York Thursday. “So you may self-censor and not raise important issues like the sexual exploitation of children that Lydia did raise.”
Free-press activists want defa- mation and libel to be civil rather than criminal offenses, with economic penalties rather than prison sentences, and a reasonable burden of proof on the plaintiff. Otherwise, they say, the law is a weapon against the press.
“Current cases of abuse against journalists, such as the Cacho case, are clear examples of how the law is being applied,” Sen. Carlos Sotelo said. “Far from protecting a person´s honor, it´s used to silence critical discussion.”
Sotelo, a member of the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), was speaking in support of legislation that would decriminalize libel and defamation nationwide. The bill has been passed by the Chamber of Deputies and sent to the Senate. Its future is uncertain.
“We´d like to see President Calderón use the power of his office and work with Congress to expedite this reform,” said Lauría. “This bill needs to be approved promptly so journalists will no longer face the threat of jail for what they write.”
Mexico City tourist alert…
I have a tag for “clueless gringos in Mexico,” but “clueless Chinese in Mexico” is a new one on me. I found this in this morning’s El Universal.
A 45-year old Chinese tourist was arrested when he attempted to flee after stealing the figure of a shepherd from a naciamento from one of the annual year-end holiday displays on Paseo de la Reforma.
Zhwo Su Vang Kuizhen, the 45-year old Chinese citizen was detained at the corner of Paseo de la Reforma and Rio de la Plata, colonia Cuauhtémoc, with the sheperd hidden in his coat.
An origanizer of the exhibition had tipped off foot patrol officers in the area of the Asian’s intentions to take the object without paying for it.
The foreigner was detained after trying to make off with the object, valued at about 200 pesos, and turned over to the 61st district Ministerio Publico.
