Chiapas: Censorship of Heraldo de Chiapas newspapers over criticisms of governor

On 11 April, the front page of the Heraldo de Chiapas ran the headline “Chiapas, at the edge of collapse because of Manuel Velasco’s lack of experience.”  The article below this headline claims that “Four months have shown that the lack of experience in public administration on the part of governor Manuel Velasco Coello has generated an economic paralysis which keeps the managerial class at the edge of disaster and the countryside unproductive.  Besides, jobs are on the decline, leading to desperation among the people [...].  It should suffice to mention that the General Secretary of Governance and the State Attorney General’s Office which are the two institutions that ought to create governability and certainty within the legal and political transition of the state–yet they remain in the hands of officials installed by Juan Sabines.  This all has resulted in recurrent criticisms, arguing that there is no reason to depend so on the previous administration, or indeed that [Manuel Velasco] is protected the interests of a government that wasted public resources, leaving the state bankrupt.”Once the newspaper and its article began its rounds, it was denounced that in Tuxtla Gutiérrez presumed governmental officials censored a large number of the edition for the merchants of the Mexican Editorial Organization (OEM) and furthermore bought up all the copies that were transferred to the Union of Spokespeople.  The denunciation details that people with short hair (reminiscent of the police) surreptitiously followed the spokespeeople and merchants so as to “buy the newspapers” or snatch them up.  It was also indicated that the vehicles that were carrying the newspapers to municipalities close to the capital were intercepted.  Two merchants affirmed that they were “held up with pistols by presumed police who took charge of decommissioning the newspapers.”For this reasons, the State Council on Human Rights (CEDH) opened an official complaint and issued precautionary measures for the governor, Manuel Velasco Coello. The executive secretary of the CEDH, Diego Cadenas Gordillo, noted that “an official complaint was lodged, toward the end of investigating the events that are detailed in the note referred from the journalist Fermín Rodríguez; in it is described the events that could result in violations to human rights, particularly regarding access to information, freedom of the press, and freedom of impression, as well as of publication.”

Chiapas: protests in several municipalities against the taking of office by new commissioners

Motozintla (@chacatorex.com.mx)

On Sunday 30 September, the mayors who were elected on 1 July were to take office, though this transition did not occur without incident in Motozintla, Chicomuselo, Bejucal de Ocampo, Frontera Comalapa, Mazapa de Madero, Villacorzo, Cintalapa, Tila, and Las Rosas.

The situation of violence took place in the Motozintla municipality where sympathizers of the PRD-PT-Citizens Movement coalition set fire to public buildings (including the City Hall and prison), beyond attacking patrols to protest the failure of the Electoral Tribunal of Judicial Power, which ruled in favor of Oscar Galindo (PVEM).  They also released 80 prisoners from the jail, although 40 of these were subsequently recaptured, many of them of their own volition.  The Chiapas state-government detained 31 persons after the disturbances.  Milenio journalists denounced on their part that they were attacked by 10 state police after taking photos of the burning city hall in Motozintla, as of other buildings.

In the nearby municipality of Chicomuselo, where the Trife handed victory to the PVEM candidate when the Institute for Elections and Citizen Participation in Chiapas had already recognized the victory of the PRD candidate, another patrol was set alight.  The mayor was kidnapped by sympathizers of the PRD candidate.  In Frontera Comalapa and Bejucal de Ocampo the mayors were also taken forcibly by left-wing militants.

In San Fernando, PRI militants kidnapped the mayor to protest against the mayor-elect (PVEM), whom they accuse of pertaining to a family that has been in power from one election to the next.  These militants were met with tear gas.

On the Petalcingo highway, a roadblock was maintained, and PRI members set fire to the home of Limberg Gutiérrez, the father of the mayor-elect of Tila, Limberg Gregorio Gutiérrez Gómez (PVEM), who is to take power from his wife, Sandra Luz Cruz Espinosa.

Another series of conflicts and blockaders occurred to protest the exiting administrations.  In Villacorzo, the mayor was taken in a home together with some of her assistants by municipal workers who demand that their wages and benefits be paid.  In Tapachula, the PAN official Karla Selene de la Cruz denounced that she was assaulted by the secretary of city hall, following her demand that her salaries in arrears be paid.  On 28 September, indigenous persons from San Juan Chamula blockaded the highway between San Cristóbal de las Casas and Tuxtla Gutiérrez to demand the payment of debt in their municipality, as well as the ending of different work-projects.  Municipal and transit police as well the Civil Protection force of Teopisca went on strike, blockading the highway between San Cristóbal de las Casas and Comitán for eight hours, to protest their not being paid.

National: Reactions to the recognition of EPN’s electoral victory

Handing over of document confirming the PRI’s victory (http://www.enriquepenanieto.com/)

On 31 August 2012, Enrique Peña Nieto, candidate for the coalition Commitment to Mexico which is comprised of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the Green Ecological Party of Mexico (PVEM), received notice that he was officially accredited president-elect, following the validation by the Judicial Electoral Tribunal of the Federation (TEPJF) of the 1 July election.  He will take office as president on 1 December of this year.  In this way, the TEPFJ unanimously rejected the denunciations brought forward by leftwing parties to invalidate the presidential election.  Surrounding the Tribunal were more than 500 federal police, who protected the center from behind sandbags.

In light of the TEPJF’s decision, the reactions came quickly.  Both the Progressive Movement, led by Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO, candidate for the leftwing parties in the July election), and social movements (#IAm132 in particular) and civil organizations rejected the failure of the magistrates.  Thousands of persons took to the streets of Mexico City to protest and surround the TEPJF center in protest.

AMLO called for a mobilization on 9 September in the Zócalo of the capital so as to discuss steps moving forward.  He declared, “Hopefully it will be understood in this way how they defend the regime of corruption, while we are prepared to abolish this.  We will not sign any cease-fire, nor will be concede anything, even though they continue to attack us, accusing us of being bad losers, messianic madmen, or just hungry for power.”

For his part, President Felipe Calderón congratulated EPN and wished him the best successes as Executive.  PAN members said for their part that they did not support AMLO with his demands, but they will call for transparency in election (in particular, that the IFE resolve the two complaints regarding the Monex case).

Similarly, PRI representatives called for resolutions to be observed.  EPN himself gave a speech in the center of the Electoral Tribunal affirming that legality is fundamental for democratic governance, and that all candidates should have to respect this.

National: Symbolical 24-hour occupation of Televisa

On 26 July, during 24 hours, thousands of members of the movement #IAm132, workers from the National Electricians’ Union (SME),and the Front of Peoples in Defense of the Land from San Salvador Atenco, together with individuals from other social organizations, undertook a symbolic blockade at the offices of Televisa Chapultepec, some hours before the opening of the TV transmission of the Olympic Games in London.  The action is a one of those agreed upon during the National Convention against Imposition, held on 15-16 July in Atenco, where a plan of action was declared toward the end of preventing Enrique Peña Nieto (EPN) from assuming the presidency.  The peaceful action amounted to a rejection of the informational policies of the firm, which seeks to impose EPN as president, according to the crowd during the day of action.  Another of the demands expressed by those in attendance was for the democratization of media.  The cry of thousands was clear: “We are blockading this TV of lies so that they never return.”  They recalled that they had undertaken a struggle in the streets so that the following not be forgotten: the previous student mobilizations of 1968,1971, and1999; the massacre of Aguas Blancas in Guerrero; the abuses in Chiapas; and the electoral fraud and the dismantled barricades of Atenco and Oaxaca. The #IAm132 movement called on the people to organize itself: “This will be the first step, and it should begin in communities, schools, plazas, milpas, and neighborhoods.”

In the manifesto addressing the people of Mexico, six points of action were proposed, including the democratization of media and the reform of health and educational systems, stressing that “Televisa and TV Azteca are merely the most visible principle instrument of the oligarchy that rules over this country, the existing powers which with their interests impose and break governance.  These are firms that produce and distribute manipulated and confused information so that the public be fed knowledge that is convenient to the political-economic regime, so as to impose on the administration which executes neoliberal capitalist projects, national and international.”

The human blockade allowed workers to leave the media offices, where chiefs, conductors, editors, and the majority of journalists remained, so as to continue the transmission, even if some editors work night shifts.  They also reported that a provisional study was taken in the alternative center, and that those who remained at the blockade in Chapultepec developed links.

National: In the presidential elections, a controversial electoral process and results

Elections in San Cristóbal, 1 July 2012 (@SIPAZ)

The presidential elections of 1 July have exhibited a divided Mexican society.  On the one hand, the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) that was to administer these elections declared on election night that the candidate for the electoral alliance “Commitment to Mexico” between the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the Green Ecological of Mexico (PVEM), Enrique Peña Nieto, defeated Andrés Manuel López Obrador, candidate of the “Progressive Movement” coalition comprised of the Party for Democratic Revolution (PRD), the Labor Party, and the Citizens’ Movement.  In third place came Josefina Vázquez Mota of the National Action Party (PAN), leaving Gabriel Quadri de la Torre in last place (PANAL).  These results were based on the Program of Preliminary Electoral Results (PREP), which indicates the tendencies without necessarily declaring these to be final.  Following the IFE’s announcement by means of its president, Leonardo Valdés, President Felipe Calderón openly supported the IFE’s position, which had granted victory to Peña Nieto.  The PRI candidate then declared himself winner of the elections, while López Obrador expressed on the night of 1 July that he would determine his position once official data on the electoral count had been released.

Beyond this, following the elections there have been presented demonstrations of incomformity with the process, as with the results of the election.  Part of this has to do with the mobilizations taken up by the movement #IAm132 on 2 July due to the irregularities that had been reported from several voting locations in the country, as well as due to the victory awarded to Peña Nieto by the IFE without its having official results.  For his part, López Obrador declared on Tuesday 3 July that he would challenge the results, and that a recount should be had in more than 100,000 voting spaces, given the evidence of irregularities there.  He denounced that the PRI electoral campaign exceeded the spending limits that had been established by law, and that votes had been bought as well as coerced by the PRI apparatus.  The IFE has reported that in the official computation of the vote that began on 4 July, 54.5% of the votes (78,012 booths) would be reviewed.

As of 4 July, according to 98.95% of the PREP’s findings, the following were the results for the presidential election: Enrique Peña Nieto 38.15%; Andrés Manuel López Obrador 31.64%; Josefina Vázquez Mota 25.40 %; Gabriel Quadri de la Torre 2.30%.

National: presentation by Acuddeh regarding human-rights violations committed from 2011 to the first third of 2012

On 26 June, the organization Urgent Action for Human-Rights Defenders (Acuddeh) presented a report regarding human-rights violations committed against rights-defenders during 2011 and the first third of the year 2012.

Alejandro Cerezo, coordinator of Accudeh, indicated that based on information from public institutions, it can be seen that from 2010 to 2012 there has been a 418% increase in rights-violations against rights-defenders.  The report highlights that this increase cannot be attributed to organized crime, but rather to the Mexican State itself, given that of 87 documented violations, 47% were committed either through acquiescence or “directly by persons or groups of persons who act with the consent, authorization, support, or instigation of the State–for example, paramilitary groups.”

The aggressions most frequently denounced have been death-threats (47% of the total).  Furthermore, the report reveals that female defenders are vulnerable than are males, given that the former are often assaulted on more than one occasion.  The report claims also that the directors of these attacks seek to dismantle independent collectives, given that the majority of the assaults target leaders of these organizations.

Also present at the event were the following individuals: Tannia Falconer, coordinator for Mexico Projects of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation; Javier Hernández Valencia, representative of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Mexico; Agnieszka Raszynska, executive secretary of the National Network of Human-Rights Organizations All Rights for All; and Miguel Concha Malo, director of the Fray Francisco de Vitoria Center for Human Rights OP AC. Miguel Concha stressed that the document is important in informational terms but also in practical ones, given that it explains which risks defenders face and how they might prevent them and defend themselves against these.

National: Approval of Law for the Protection of Human-Rights Defenders and Journalists

On 30 April 2012, the Chamber of Deputies unanimously approved the Senate bill that requests a Law for the Protection of Human-Rights Defenders and Journalists.  During this session, the assembled also observed a minute of silence to honor the memory of the journalist Regina Martínez, who was murdered on 28 April in Xalapa, Veracruz.

The law creates a public committee and a mechanism of protection to attend to human-rights defenders and journalists who have received death-threats, intimidation, and harassment due to their work.  The urgent measures of prevention should be applied no later than three hours after the complaint, and among other things there is considered the possibility of police protection, cars with tinted windows, protective vests, evacuation, and even temporary relocation for rights-defenders and journalists as well as their families, if this is seen to be necessary.  It will also create means of prevention that seek to develop public policies toward the end of reducing the risk-factors that favor aggression.

Human-rights organizations and journalists who have worked for the construction of this law congratulated themselves with this turn of events, and they called on the Federal Executive to publish it as soon as possible in the Official Daily of the Federation.  If it is true that “the law is not a panacea,” as Alejandro Cerezo notes, director of Urgent Action for Human-Rights Defenders, it “represents a first step for the prevention and protection of two populations who share the same risks in their activities.  It actually has many virtues in its content, which could help to surveil the efficacy of the mechanism, which includes the creation of a Consultative Council and a Government Council made up of journalists and persons who are defenders of human rights.”

Mexico: 172 aggressions against journalists in 2011 – Article 19

On 20 March, in the Museum for Memory and Tolerance in Mexico City, the organization Article 19 for Mexico and Central America publicly presented its report “Forced Silence: The State, complicit with violence against the press in Mexico,” which documents a total of 172 aggressions against journalists in 2011.  Of these, 9 were murders against journalists and 2 against media workers.  Also reported were 2 disappearances and 8 attacks with firearms or explosives targeting media offices.

The report also notes that the major aggressor against the press continues to be the State itself: 53.63% of attacks were committed by public officials, in contrast to 15.63% of these being committed by elements of organized crime, though this latter force commits the most violence aggressions.  Dario Ramírez, director of Article 19, commented that these statistics “show to be untrue the version promoted by President Felipe Calderón, attributing to drug-traffickers violence against journalists.”  The states with the highest number of registered violent attacks as exercised by public officials against the press are Chihuahua (47 cases), Veracruz (33), Oaxaca (25), Chiapas (19), and Mexico City (17).

The report notes that National Commission on Human Rights’ (CNDH) Program on Assault against Journalists and Civil Human-Rights Defenders lacks an adequate methodology to register and document attacks.  Dario Ramírez detailed that “the number of complaints regarding violations of right to free expression made by those who work in journalism has increased, in contrast with the number of recommendations regarding the situation of violence and impunity faced by the press” (22 in 2011).

Also denounced was the fact that the Special Prosecutorial Office for Attention to Crimes against Freedom of Expression (FEADLE), an office that since its creation in 2006 has changed names on four occasions and seen its budget diminished by 72.36%, has undertaken penal action in 27 cases, having succeeded in releasing only one condemnatory sentence, reflecting the grave situation of impunity in terms of the prosecution of crimes against press-workers.  Furthermore, in 2010 FEADLE was observed to be inadequate 91.79% of the time.
