translated from Spanish: The misrule of a modern satrap by Teresa Da Cunha Lopes

By Teresa Da Cunha Lopes
I am surprised (although nothing surprises us) of the relative silence of the nets on the question of the “peace belt”.
Doesn’t anyone think, he no longer said only witty, but even obscene that 12 thousand people are sent as bait, who have no training, who were not protected, who had no way to defend themselves, to “immolate” in a manifestation in which they did not want to be, just because a head of government does not want to appear as a repressor and, those 12 thousand people can not say no because they lose their job ?
Work that does not include in any is its clauses be “meat for cannon” ? Where was human decency, respect for life and labor rights?
No one has thought of the horror that must have passed those 12 thousand victims of the occurrence of a modern satrap, when they went out with their white players, transformed into “human fences”, without knowing what will happen to them during the day of “fight”?
Put yourselves in your shoes and imagine how you would feel when you were cornered, by various times, in front of violent and armed gangs? Without exit, unable to answer, physically and psychologically from a maelstrom of violence that they have not provoked, where they were thrown without complacency, without withdrawal plan, without protection?
There is a statute of the civil service and, no section does it establish that you have to risk your life in functions for which you have not been trained, or trained and which are not even part of your contract.
In fact, no “contract” of those 12 thousand officials is it established that you have to throw yourself helpless in front of violent urban hordes, be humiliated, trampled, painted, wounded, only because a government refuses to use the security forces to control organized street violence of provocateurs. Professional.
Professional provocateurs who are also perfectly identified by the intelligence services. That is, they can be neutralized hours before the start of the demonstrations.
To me, I have no doubt that Sheinbaum & company have today surpassed several red lines and that, for a matter of “image” they are willing to sacrifice civilian lives, they have no intention of defending the property of citizens and have neither a security plan nor political intent to seek solutions.
But they do not hesitant lycrate people and place in present and imminent danger only to wash their hands like Pilates in the face of the wave of violence and overflowing public insecurity. Here, it is no longer a matter of public opinion, whether a crime of serious omission in fulfilling the obligations inherent in your office.
