@FelipeCaldeRON = Persona non grata
Sergio Aguayo
(December 26th., 2012). - In a few days Felipe Calderon will be installed as a research professor at the Kennedy School of Harvard University. I maintain that it is an insult to our victims, an attack on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and a violation of the principles that advocates American university.
Calderón reported back positive macroeconomic figures, freedom of expression and access to information. It can even be understood that the war against organized crime was necessary, because they had to confront the problem, albeit it was arguably the strategy adopted and the way he managed the conflict. The former President has a indefensible behavior toward the social cost of the war: more than 60 000 deaths, at least 25 000 people missing, 260,000 displaced, tens of thousands of migrants kidnapped, etc..
In the Bill of Rights and Responsibilities of the Kennedy School, it’s said that those who are part of that community, are characterized by respect towards "the dignity of others" and to take into account the "impact that policies have on people." In the misión of Harvard University, it’s read that its members will assume "responsibility for the consequences of [the] personal actions."
Calderon did not respect the dignity of the victims, dismissed from the consequences of their policies and evaded responsibility for his acts. The actions display him as someone indifferent, irresponsible and inhumane. In none of his farewell speeches included some words of empathy for those who paid the bills for the war on crime. More serious was the firmness with which withheld information about what was happening. I demonstrate this claim with the persons that are missing, one of the most serious violations of human rights.
To gauge its meaning, I use a text from Peregil Francisco in El País (December 23) in which tells the story of Argentina Sen. Norma Morandini, who discovered, thanks to a text published in this newspaper, that in 1977 the military launched her two brothers into the sea from an airplane. In a few sentences condensed the burden size that she had to bear over 35 years: "It's very hard and very difficult to convey the meaning of the word disappeared. It's a ghost. But to be a ghost it is nothing. Without any presence.him t odie, you have not seen you die and nobody expressed any condolences, no liturgy or tomb. You never think them dead; that is very different than to expect them appearing alive. "
Calderon commited himself several times to create a national register of victims because he declared last October it is important that "we all know where the people who suffer most." Now we know that at least in the case of Messing, the Attorney General's Office had throughout the six years the record: but it was never released. When his government ended PGR officials gave him the correspondent of the Washington Post, William Booth a list with 25,000 missing (published November 29th.).
The Research and Training Center for Civic Proposal a ivil organismo I preside, received from Los Angeles Times correspondent’s Tracy Wilkinson, that she obtained a document from PGR employees with names and conditions of 20,851 people disappeared Turing @FelipeCalderon six years term in office. Whoever takes the trouble to check the text (www.propuestacivica.org.mx) determine the low priority given to the issue, the complaints were not investigated. Sources within the PGR peñanietista say they can not find those files, which perhaps means that were stolen by the retreating calderonism.
Part of the American people is concerned about what is happening in Mexico. Between the Indicators is the decision of the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University to grant Marcela Turati M. Louis Award Lyons for being one of the reporters who reports "systematically on victims in the war on drugs, " and because it protects journalists threatened, according to the foundation [u][color=red] [i]"Mexico had became one of the world's most dangerous countries for the press."`/i]
Within the university there are those who think differently. [b]The director of the Kennedy School, Professor David Ellwood, called former President Calderon as "…a living example of a public [...] committed." A baseless assertion [u]because evidence shows it as an insensitive ruler: his government failed to investigate what happened to the missing and deliberately concealed important information for families
Instead of naming him persona non grata the Kennedy School decided to insult and violate its principles to be complicit in the concealment of one of the most egregious humanitarian tragedies and important century. A shame. .
