translated from Spanish: 68 (6). No one wants to investigate because they are all jointly responsible

to fifty years away from 22 July student movement to the December 4, 1968 there is only one certainty: those responsible for the crisis of institutional violence were poly system Tico, the system of Government and the constitutional State. Tlatelolco was not a crisis of circumstances but an accumulation of systemic and social contradictions. Throughout the 1960s Government of López Mateos and Diaz Ordaz used the armed forces against students and occupied educational facilities and at 68 was repeated the dose. Students and their ideological protests if put at risk the legitimacy of the PRI and its allies in power. Why everyone has been responsible and that half a century after runs the easy alibi: no one knows, no one knew and all regret it. But the central factor in the movement appear clear without that nobody wants to investigate it because many false masks fall: the struggle for the presidential candidacy of the PRI, with the involvement of university authorities. Some relevant data: 1.-in 1969 Gastón García Cantú, director of UNAM cultural diffusion and confidant of the rector Barros Sierra, participated in a group of the Mexican Academy of human sciences to publish the prospectus the dilemma of development, democracy or authoritarianism, as direct and support open to the candidacy of the Secretary of the Presidency, Emilio Martínez Manautou. Among others, he also signed Victor Flores Olea, radical Professor of Marxist left in political sciences of the UNAM; then director 1970-1975 and finally Ambassador of Echeverria in the USSR and later academic of the PRI system. The own Barros Sierra had lost the succession PRI in 1964 before Diaz Ordaz.2-the Regent Alfonso Corona del Rosal had a secret group that supported it and who dedicated themselves to confront Luis Echeverría, Secretary of the Interior. But the succession of 1970 was sung: Echeverria. NATO Díaz Ordaz-Echeverria wove since 1956 when power group was set to face the magisterial dissent: Diaz Ordaz as senior officer of the Interior, Echeverria as officer of the SEP and the triangle ended with Fernando Gutiérrez Barrios, head of political control of the Federal safety. This troika of strength ran from 1956 to 1968.3-Diaz Ordaz was a man of power and force. Student 68 had its antecedent in 1964: the medical movement erupted in full campaign and election of 1964 and its demand was a public dialogue with the new President. Diaz Ordaz granted them a hearing just to make it clear that the State is wouldn’t bend, that doctors should be subject to the order and that the State had the force to crush any uprising. Doctors unloaded its movement and many were exiled. Diaz Ordaz drove student 68 with the same metodo.4.-fifty years of 68 is remembered with tributes, empty phrases, Diaz Ordaz as responsible and no research real to unravel the mystery. The reason is simple: in 1968 all were responsible because it was a crackdown on system/regime/State. Several of those who were in the PRI or worked in the Government switched to the opposition without clarifying its historical responsibilities with 68. All they agree that 68 is only one day of saving; No one should you co-responsibilities direct or moral to be investigated or politicas.5.-the stewards list is long: officials of the Cabinet, political groups from the PRI and UNAM, academic PRI, the PRI structure, great Excelsior press The Universal, La Prensa, El Sol de Mexico, press the dissident but systemic: politics and culture in Mexico, deputies and senators from all parties, all registered parties, all Governors, almost all intellectuals (with the exception not recognized by Octavio Paz), all corporate power (Coparmex, the Bankers Association, Chambers), the directors of political science (Enrique González Pedrero) and economy (Ifigenia Martínez), goldfinches like Muñoz Ledo, all the judicial system, the Supreme Court and Judge Eduardo Ferrer MacGregor slogan and the hard line of the National Council of strike that led to the movement into the abyss. Many of them were now next to the movement. That 68 has only become a lament-0-politics for dummies: politics is a network of interests and secret responsibilities.
