The government of Carlos Salinas de Gortari try to build a participatory local government to legitimize the end of the welfare state in Mexico. During his presidency there was a redesign of the public administration and social policy based on municipalities. Salinas, like Lazaro Cardenas, down the executive cenacle level to playing field and accompany their neoliberal populist leadership from regional bases.
His doctoral thesis, inspired by the political and economic utilitarianism, stated that the direct financing of the municipalities allow the development of citizenship and democracy, as well as growth. The National Solidarity Program was thus the most rational public policy coherence built until then.
In the distance, one can see that the effects of multiple supports local governments have been a real tragedy. Administrative decentralization spread to the municipalities, communities and municipalities. The capital has been becoming fragmented municipal telenovela (Mauricio Merino) in a real drama. Thousands of Iguala and Ajalpan are governed by"Vargas" style enhanced with public resources. The Mexican daily disproves the hypothesis of Carlos Salinas, the City is the largest institution failed, seized the chieftainship, inefficiency and corruption. In rural areas especially, there are no citizens, no Democrats, no development; new circumstances have multiplied vassals, courtiers and poor.
A contradiction of what I thought the main representative of technocracy in Mexico, the municipal government extended the decomposition seeking combat, that is, has served as an economic platform and positioning the powers to attach to the Mexican State. Almost no mayor has responded by property damage to the observations of the supervisory bodies, What good is knowing the economic data workimg with effort and accounting care if it's a matter of minutes for the legislative factions and state governments made the conspiracy blind from the same?
Ajalpan matches and are the product of a dystopian Federalism making the municipality a decentralized entity, allied and subject to partisan politics of the belly. In the past, the informal rules of the hegemonic party capital and imposed a fragile stability not exterminated Dona Barbara and Pedro Paramo but limited; now they found everywhere and with multiple financial support to continue their political careers. The City is the preferred site as a springboard and transformismo.
Guerrero and Puebla are examples of feuderalismo causing ungovernability. Iguala and Ajalpan have a structural similarity that can be extended to most of the municipalities in both entities, mayors and state government allies separated from their communities, councilors meanings as administrative managers, corrupt and inefficient bureaucracies and municipalities abandoned the criterion of powers. Wild anomie has developed a fatal form; until now it becomes undeniable. Both states are the lowest in the Democratic Development Index 2014 of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
German Perez Fernandez del Castillo and Enrique Cabrero Mendoza have insisted throughout his academic work on the modernization adequate capital and institutional speed. Promote policies that generate discomfort following a physical impulse; ie returned. Social movements, drug trafficking, lynchings, civil disobedience, etc., are due to action of absolutely incompetent and corrupt political class. The government of Guerrero is the clearest example and Puebla is dangerously close to the same category.
It is necessary to reconsider the municipal legal framework, adapted to a divergent reality of social and ethnic groups, boosting public and private centers Municipal Studies, attend local councils trained personnel and strictly observe bureaucratic public finances. The neglect of economic resources in the municipalities is the main device that strengthens chiefdoms. There are municipalities that have been deprived of family heritage for decades and state governments not only traded with the same, but, lately, the other political levels encyst increasing ungovernability. Will Pansters is not wrong to say that the real dinosaur Mexico is the Cacique; not the PRI. The Cacique has survived the transition to democracy, wears a tie, iphones, helicopters, attends Harvard University, even accredits academic programs and has a high command of English; but he, or she, will never be modern.

A turkey (Guajolota) that fell from the tree

A turkey (Guajolota) that fell from the tree

http://quoruminformativo.com.mx/index.php/2015/10/06/se-cayo-la-guajolota/

During the nineties of the last century, one of the leading critics of accelerated modernization Mexican was Colombian President Cesar Gaviria. When approaching the texts and ideas of South American political, it could come to consider that there was someone else happy with the Aztec misfortune. A vague memory of that time refers to the metaphor of Guajolota employing Gaviria to question the condition of the country. The example shows the difficulty that this endemic species of our region to sleep in trees or branches. Generally, when is too fattening turkeys fall from the trees if they try to climb them; although your instinct and go up above the chickens to reach somewhere in the woods, always they subside. Being a bird of greater weight and size, complete stumbling and falling, turning the scandal of the other flying and having to sleep under them in the appropriate circumstances. This happened to Mexico with the neoliberal march say César Gaviria; in the end, the Mexican Guajolota ended on the floor being mockery and crapper Latin American chickens.

The conflict that has occurred in Volkswagen can serve for comparison of Puebla with Neoliberal Guajolota. The crisis of the German automaker significantly harm the local economy in a time that seems long. Since the company was set up in the state, accompanying pains and pleasures became common. Thousands of workers, over the years, hand made family life and strength to deliver growth and brand development as well as the state. The correspondence was little; but there. The company came to Puebla brought ordoliberalism ideas and austerity that allowed Konrad Adenauer boost postwar West Germany. The lure of Mexican modernization did forget these principles and the perspective of the quality-competition began generating exploitation, abuse, conspiracy and capitalism by dispossession which characterizes the project of the local political class. Volkswagen confused rules with flexible labor market flexibility. The fact that most of Puebla governments have allowed and legitimized their abuse does not imply equivalence in the first world. Volkswagen will also came up with the turkeys: their processed products so underdeveloped not be admitted in post-industrial societies.

Salinas's time to date, no Mexican government raised any complaint against the flood of junk cars coming from the US market. Millions of trucks, cars, etc., were legalized regardless of their levels of pollution, risk and property. It was an export to the United States benefited and harmed the trading of the domestic auto industry. The act continues and Mexico remains the dustbin of Americans. But what America does with foreign countries do not consent to their own territory. Hopefully the lesson to stop confusing collaboration with appeasement is learned.

Puebla could become a city full of automotive unemployment like Detroit (USA) and nobody does anything sensible. The project of the "cell" that the previous state government made it, was criticized too much; however, it is not about to happen the same with "Audi City"? The model city due to accelerated modernization and irresponsible, without having persecuted, is about to pay his arrogance. In the San José Chiapa, and Grajales Nopalucan one overwhelming project that eliminated municipal institutions, collective actors, capital, natural resources, etc. are implemented All events in the best German tradition often called "Holocaust."

The Audi project has benefited little that region and Puebla. The recent international externality comes to confirm. Arguably the opposite of Tlaxcala; state where they think they have not had a better governor and who now lives in the hills of Loreto and Guadalupe. Tlaxcala has seen buoyant growth in its economy after hundreds of Puebla emplacar have come here for their cars, licensing procedures and make government impossible. Particularly outstanding was the case of Huamantla, the true City Audi because from the beginning of the construction of the assembly plant and highway infrastructure, does not cease to receive most of the agents involved in the process since the corresponding region San Jose Chiapa, Nopalucan, Grajales and Eastern lacks the necessary framework for projects of this magnitude. Puebla schizophrenic currency, betting the whole development to the construction of an automotive assembler and almost lose by anti-self that have been promoted policies dramatically. Puebla's government has made a fool of pollution caused attacking cars and seeing the possibility of cancellation in one of its main public policies for the same reason.

What to do to ensure that projects have the desired success? How to avoid the paradigm of local modernization Guajolota? Arturo Rueda considered Puebla, as those indigenous insurgents 1994, did not understand the modernization of state government. For him, Rafael Moreno Valle and Carlos Salinas de Gortari shared a fate: the modernization frustrated as a result of a backward society. Samuel Ramos, however, states that one of the main problems of Mexican identity was the inability to adjust means and ends; so widely it highlighted in our political class and the paradigm of Guajolota. César Gaviria drove in his country moderate neoliberalism. Always points to the importance of recognizing the subjectivity of Latin America, a continent that needs before any hysterical materialism, social justice, democracy, equality, freedom and human rights. The Colombian constitution of 1991 is such a historic project which was the Mexican constitution of 1917. The difference is that our country abandoned aspiration and essential responsibility. Mexican modernity became fickle, arrogant, frivolous and, therefore, small and fragile.

The solution paradigm Guajolota or call it "ratonazo", "and merit", "cruzazulismo", "salting" etc .; It is nothing but responsibility. The ordoliberalism and austerity should be the government guidelines. And yet the specter of populism, it is necessary for governments to govern and, if possible, to govern the country. Extradite "ipso facto" a dozen drug dealers, buy a dozen departures Audi vehicles are bad for a game that has complicated; but ridicule have to get to govern.
