In
recent years, the Mexican government has devoted itself pursuing the people who
it considers its enemies. Those people are considered to be enemies because they
oppose the government’s interests or because they have fought to defend
democracy with their ideas, strategies and principles, and to usher in a
welfare system that is fairer and more balanced for the most vulnerable groups,
among them the working class.
In
order to achieve this objective, those in government have used threats,
repression, corruption and even the cruellest and most sinister dententions and
assassinations that a modern society could imagine. Particularly in the period
between 2000 and 2012, the PAN (National Action Party) governments led by
Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón devoted themselves to deforming the state of
law and perverting the application of justice. This was coupled with major
inefficiencies in public administration and increased corruption which
completed our country’s collapse. This was marked by: worsening marginalisation
and poverty, a lack of honesty and transparency, insecurity, the loss of jobs
and opportunities, the handing over of the country’s resources to foreign hands,
the shameful subjugation to the country’s most conservative and hypocritical
corporate groups, and the xenophobic and demented repression of democratic and
independent union organisations.
With
this corrupt mentality they politically pursued their adversaries using all
sorts of arbitrary actions, illegal means and abuses of power. One of these
methods, favoured due to its inherent perversity and cowardice, has been the
manipulation of Interpol in order to threaten their opponents and confine them
one place in which they are forced to remain so as not to run the risk of being
arrested without justification, thereby eluding the hatred of their pursuers
who have employed the media to manipulate and shock them by threatening the use
of Interpol’s Red Notices for the purpose of detention and eventual
extradition.
In
my particular case, for the last seven years they have absurdly and unfoundedly
attempted to maintain a Red Notice based solely on manipulation and deception,
basing it on lies and slander and through public attacks by corrupt media and
journalists. To their disgrace, these attacks are totally ignored outside
Mexico. Fox, Calderón, Marta Sahagún, as well as their partners, employees and
complicit businesspeople, have deceived themselves into thinking that the rest
of the world shares their dirty, perverse mentality.
They
corrupted judges and media, and shameless, abject, mercenary lawyers with no
ethical criteria, who set themselves up as the dross of the noble legal
profession, and of course they corrupted unscrupulous individuals recruited
from the scum of the union movement. To their humiliation and frustration, none
of this helped achieve their disgraceful aims.
From
the start, the Canadian government rejected all this unfounded rubbish based on
untruths, and instead they offered me better protection and gave me a home in
this great country, which has one of the most noble and correct justice
systems, and higher levels of education, of security, of social wellbeing, of
solidarity and of respect anywhere in the world. The Mexican government’s
slanderous and maligning theatre collapsed and was swept away into ridicule and
disgrace, before the indifference of those in power.
At
the same time, distinguished, brave and honest judges and magistrates whose
decisions salvage the little honesty and confidence that remain in the Mexican
legal system, unanimously resolved in the First Collegiate Tribunal in Criminal
Matters of the First Circuit that Interpol Mexico and the Office of the
Attorney General of the Republic (PRG) violated the Constitution when they
imposed that unfounded Red Notice which was motivated only by their morbid
political persecution. This dignified decision in my favour makes it clear once
more that although there are judges, magistrates and ministers of the Court who
are merely taking orders, there are others who are honest and brave who will
not let themselves be pressured, corrupted or intimidated, and they save the
image of Mexican Judiciary Power.
The
excellent decision from the First Collegiate Tribunal in Criminal Matters,
which is based on the principles on justice and respect for democracy and human
rights, as well as the wise strategy of the Los Mineros legal defence, exposed
the most serious aspect of this situation, which must be analysed in depth by
jurists and political scientists as well as by the current government itself.
Interpol Mexico has no representation or legal validity given that when it was
created as a dependent directorate of the PGR and was affiliated to International
Interpol, it did so without the legally required approval or ratification from
the Senate of the Republic.
What
is more, Interpol Mexico maintained that Red Notice entirely illegally, that is
to say, for the last three years they were in violation of the Constitution,
knowing that the illegitimate arrest warrants had already been removed
precisely because they were unconstitutional.
Enrique
Peña Nieto’s government now has before it the huge task of applying justice
correctly so as to act honourably and improve the image of Mexico abroad,
because readers can be sure of one thing: if this had happened in Canada, or in
any developed country, the civil servants who acted outside the law, like Fox
and Calderón and their crowd of collaborators and complicit businesspeople,
would not only have lost their jobs, but they, the real criminals, would have
been imprisoned and would still be in prison today.
