email this pageprint this pageemail usPrensa Latina


The proposed privatization of electric energy in Mexico.
Faced with the Mexican rightwing attempts to privatize the energy resources, there will be national resistance to avoid that denationalization, Mexico´s Congress senators warned.

Former chairman of the Parliamentary Constitutional Points Commission, Manuel Bartlett asserted that the battle fought during Vicente Fox´s government will need to be intensified to avoid privatization of Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX).

He also considered that efforts should be made to avoid the same happens again with the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), because it is obvious that President elect Felipe Calderon is ready to give up the country.

For Bartlett everything will be done according to the plans of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, as proven by a recent meeting among the richest Mexican businessmen, which was organized by one of the subsidiaries of the US Forbes consortium.

The attendants to the meeting, where they spoke about a project for a new Mexico, presented a privatizing profile and fostered the so called structural reforms, which are not less than to put the main national resource in foreign hands.

Meanwhile, for researcher Carlos Saxe-Fernandez, the main threat to national security is the attempt to privatize the energy sector, because it is the country´s main source of income, which they are trying to damage.

The president elect´s attitude shows that one of the problems caused by underdevelopment is lack of autonomy of political powers, faced with those economic, asserted the analyst, for whom the circles of economic power will have influence on the coming administration.

Faced with those threats, leaders of the civil resistance also warned that the president elect should understand that he is not in power to yield the national heritage, and that the nation is against that.

The Mexicans are against privatizations, openings, strategic alliances, or any form of depriving the country of its energy resources, the leaders said.
