LETTER TO A PRESIDENT WHO PROMISED TO COUNTER THE INSECURITY IN THE COUNTRY
(For Karina Moreno Rojas)

Dear President of the United Mexican States:

am writing to you because unfortunately the situation of insecurity in the country I live now is not what I expected for the dates. The continuing armed robbery has been my family in the streets than before Inquit were quiet and inspires me to write these lines. Just
you took office as President of the Republic in 2003, proposed a plan to combat insecurity in the country, anti-crime and anti-narcotics plan. Stressed that it was just that Mexicans lived in an atmosphere of peace, tranquility and confidence, we deserved to go out with certainty that the police would protect us in the unlikely event of experiencing a robbery or other attack.
It is true that the country had some problems. I was aware that once they had brought, to a distant relative of mine in a taxi for a whole afternoon to take out of cash money from various bank accounts that she could handle and belonged to his bosses. I also know he was on the verge of a violation but thanks to the "rate" was afraid the disease have told her, left her in peace.
You promised to attack crime hard and so far it is holding, but I think the results were not expected. A few days ago to be exact on Saturday, said at Los Pinos, in the last report on the work of the owner of the National Commission on Human Rights, Jose Luis Soberanes, the national ombudsman, about the need that he raised him from remove the army of the streets so that the Attorney General's Office (PGR) work properly, it argues that the military does not.
In its response stated that agrees with him that the military activities should be temporary, but for the moment his presence is necessary, legitimate and indispensable. That is, defended the use of military force to the capture of organized crime and said it will continue despite the risks, criticism and misunderstanding involved.
I must admit that at the time you drew a landscape of tranquility for the Mexicans to their arrival to the presidency, confident that now I would a profound change, starting with the streets and corruption, smiled and flooded a feeling of peace and harmony.
I started to wear skirts without being afraid to climb the peseros or the subway, I believed his words. I imagined a better country, where I could go out and greet those around me without the suspicion of not knowing who he runs the greeting, I thought that families would not need to shut up at night with locks if someone trying to get, I thought the store could send my nephew 12 years with confidence that he will return safe and sound, really thought to go to the ATM to calm soul, and without being turning all the time with the slope of someone going to get when I do my banking.
But now I know I was wrong. The safety of three years ago speaking only do not see it, on the contrary, I am hostage to my fears and misgivings, caught underling of my anxieties and all the powerful, yes, the mighty one who has control of my life with a weapon, kidnapping, his body itself, with drugs and shock, one that challenges me to challenge him and I do not dare to face alone.
Currently in Mexico only in 2008 in Ciudad Juarez killings committed 2 000 400 thousand percent increase in the number of executions in that city. In fact part of the major states with almost daily violence and deaths (including include lots of beheadings) that are: Tamaulipas, Sinaloa and Baja California with 60 percentof killings. It means that unfortunately are young people between 18 and 26 the most crimes committed under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to the Survey Victimization and Perception of Public Security of the Committee of Consultation and Participation.
crime I've lived so close, first with my sister being one block from the house raided two guys who came in a taxi and went to the block counter, grabbed his bag while threatening her with a gun. Months later, at most two, assaulted my aunt when she went to collect her daughter from work, I like to work in pairs to thieves because they too were two. The first approached him and told him to drop the bag, as she did not began to struggle and to one of the handles broke, desperate thief then took the knife while his companion was surprised at my aunt in the back, did not choice but to take her purse.
then went to my boyfriend, out of an ATM with 12 thousand dollars to deliver a capital partner in the bar, stole the money while another man who also went the cashier. They both put a gun near his head. And just last month raided my cousin, aunt, son of that which took his bag, in the pesero. The formula is repeated: two guys sat next to him, made him talk and once they saw fit to give them asked him to bring value and yell or because 'there remained "hidden gun did not think twice and gave what he had of value.
As you can notice, insecurity continues and is even worse, at least before long, my experiences with crime were not so close and now they are. I think in large part this is because you do not has cared enough about the welfare of the Mexican population has focused on the fight against drug trafficking, internal problems within his party, his legitimacy as president, and of course, in the interest of all politicians in power: money.
If only I had a little more love and respect for its people would undertake real campaign against crime and especially against the corruption that is what feeds the first.
Mexico deserves to live a quiet, confident and at peace. Therefore I urge you to reassess the situation in the country, do you really achievements in security with the actions that led out? I invite you to ponder it because it gives the time to analyze the needs and misfortunes of his people so that, working on behalf of people who believed in his work as Chairman and gave her confidence.



Sincerely
