without bending Recognize the legitimacy of the struggle that the Mexican State waged against organized crime does not imply approving specific tactics used by the Government, nor of sharing your vision of the problem (roots, reasons, pads) and celebrate their achievements, or assumptions, or moderate criticism of their errors and omissions. What it should involve both politically and morally, is the social event of repudiation, unanimous, clear and unequivocal "against criminal groups as the perpetrators of violence . Unfortunately, this event has not been given citizenship. By contrast, a large sector of the opposition and the opinion has spread the opposite concept: we live "War of Calderon."
Failure national cohesion against organized crime strengthens it objectively. The case recalls, mutatis mutandis, the English pacifist during World War II. Facing the Nazi enemy-held George Orwell could not stand aside or be ambiguous. It seemed outrageous to many intellectuals debate from a comfortable neutrality while British soldiers fighting in the trenches. In Orwell was not interested in "moral pacifism"-ie, mere self-serving proclamation that peace is preferable to war. He knew that the other side there was no pacifist. Orwell
lashed particularly those who were cured in health "I'm as fascist as you, but ...". Hypocrites or naive, omitted always talk about what would happen the day after an eventual German victory. In some cases, pacifism was hiding something more sinister: a fascination with Hitler. Among the opponents of the controversial Orwell who argued in 1942, there were those who wish to go as far as a Nazi victory would have a "cathartic effect" on English literature and the arts. Therefore, to describe the social constellation or relativized denying the ugly truth (Nazi planes bombing London), Orwell coined the term "Fascifist."
In Mexico, the political purposes of the relativization are obvious: it is thought to identify clearly organized crime as the perpetrator of violence plays in favor of the PAN in 2012. I do not think so. In any case, the relativization (the mere fact of talking about "Calderon's War") has the effect of confusing the public by inducing the anachronistic belief that the President can do everything: starting the conflict, keep and kill it . As in 1942, something grim to mitigate the responsibility of the real culprits as soldiers, sailors and police are fighting every day against them. And since then, the mere utterance of good wishes (made in an indeterminate way, without a clear target) is, at best, an act of naivete and at worst irresponsible, because amalgam criminal violence with violence exercised, in principle, the Mexican state to defend society.
As in that circumstance, have we asked if there is peace among criminals? What if you take over the country? In the few statements that we have (given to organs of the opposition), there is no trace of remorse. And last but not least, has not missed a fascination with the big boss, the strong man. Before
organized crime escalate the conflict and destabilization take further steps as in Colombia (killing of a candidate, murder of ministers and legislators, etc.), The media, public universities, NGOs, opposition parties and bodies and civil society at large should converge at least on one point: national rejection, expressed in full and unequivocal organized crime . This event would not solve the problem, but get rid vagueness, morally isolate the murderers, would remove incentives for the political use of war and guide national attention to the best proposals in this sensitive area by 2012.
Mexicans can and should differ in what you want as you want, except in certain core values. The most precious, of course, is the defense of life, the right to live. Those who attack the criminals, not the Government. Against them there should be a strong social consensus. Enrique Krauze
