Ciudad Juárez, Chih., February 17. Elements of the Estado Mayor Presidencial (EMP) that were guarding the hotel where President Felipe Calderón met this day with officials and business of the locality to define the program strategy to combat crime, blocked access to human rights advocates, most government critics.
There was pushing, jerking and strokes among troops of the Federal Police (PF) and the demonstrators, mostly students and members of civil society, which sought to approach the meeting place.
From eight o'clock, the elements of the EMP virtually besieged the Camino Real hotel, which the president arrived at noon, and blocked the entrance to the activists who participated in the working group on human rights.
This table was installed along with others, which discussed various topics: education, economy, social development, security and justice, and health as part of the forum we are all Juárez. Build the city, which is intended to define the strategy against organized crime announced last week the federal chief executive.
Among the people who were prevented from passing Cipriana Jurado, Imelda Marrufo and Marilu Andrade, who were finally allowed to enter and a half hours after the start of the forum.
The local PRD congressman Victor Quintana was not allowed to go through the argument that "you definitely have banned," explained one member of the EMP.
About 13 hours, dozens of university students and social activists were removed by members of the PF when they tried to approach the conference venue. The police made about 300 meters to retreat, there was shoving, jostling and bumps, but the incident did not happen to adults.
Two hours before the protesters began a march at the facilities of the Technological Institute of Ciudad Juarez, carrying banners with legends in demanding the resignation of Felipe Calderón.
At the beginning of the tour were concentrated about 150 people, mostly young students, but joined Technological Avenue, until they reach about 300.
assaulted reporters outside the hotel, located in one of the tourist areas of the city, a group of local reporters took pictures when elements of the EMP and the PF were stripped of cameras, phones and radios. Were taken to a vacant, distant about 50 meters, and there were beaten.
attacked communicators are called Daniel Dominguez and Oscar Amaya, Radio 860; Carlos Moreno and Miguel Lozano, Net Radio 1490, David Fuentes, local Channel 5 and a correspondent for Notimex, and Veronica Castillo, who was dragged, abused and retained by the presidential guards.
By pushing and punching, the reporter was rescued by his colleagues and members of the Diocese of Ciudad Juarez, with a dozen elements of the EMP was annoyed.
When Elizabeth Flores, who works in a publication of the diocese, was with the journalists, was about to be posted to a patrol, but other communicators rescued.
employers criticize the new strategy
The representation of the Chamber of Commerce and Tourism in Juarez, local business people, the Union of used car dealers, the Alliance of Merchants of Wines and Spirits and representative groups of professionals from various branches , criticized the new strategy to bring down crime, announced last Monday the head of the Ministry of Public Security, Genaro Garcia Luna.
One of the points more emphatically rejected was the review of vehicles with foreign plates, arguing that "Ciudad Juarez is visited by thousands of Americans who are not criminals and come out to bars, nightclubs, dance halls and other businesses that now, the new strategy are considered promoters turns black crime. "
They reported that if the federal government intended to combat organized crime with that perspective, understand the reason why in 2008, 2009 and so far in 2010 have been made about 5 thousand murders.
"Impeach Garcia Luna "
merchants and professionals participated in the analysis tables and announced their withdrawal from the talks until Garcia Luna is removed from office by ignoring the constitutional guarantees and respect for human rights.
