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.
