Thousands have again rallied in Mexico over a string of
shocking gang-related crimes, culminating in demands for the president’s
resignation. Enrique Pena Nieto’s promises of anti-corruption reform failed to
stop his ratings from plummeting.
The public is most distraught over a security situation that
is in tatters, coupled with a police force that appears to be almost entirely
in the hands of fierce drug cartels. One of them is responsible for the
kidnapping and alleged murder of 43 student teachers in Guerrero state,
becoming the springboard for the protests.
The trail went all the way up to Mayor Jose Luis Abarca and
his wife Maria de los Angeles Pineda. They disappeared shortly after warrants
for their arrest were issued, allegedly for playing a direct role in the
disappearance.
Mexico City on Monday saw a march of thousands denouncing the
president’s handling of the investigation into the disappearances and the
subsequent multiple discoveries of mass graves belonging to victims of similar
crimes.
Protesters chanted for Nieto to resign, waving blackened
Mexican flags and shouting “you
are not alone” in support of the missing students’ parents, who
also marched on Monday. There was a flash of nighttime violence, but the
rallies were peaceful for the most part.

"Kami tidak lagi mengiktiraf Enrique Pena Nieto sebagai
presiden Mexico kerana dia tidak memenuhi permintaan pusat kami, iaitu untuk
membentangkan anak-anak kita hidup," Felipe de la Cruz, jurucakap untuk keluarga
mangsa yang masih hilang', kepada pemberita.
"Pena Nieto tidak adalah pemimpin rakyat Mexico. Beliau
tidak mewakili negara kita. Dia hanya menyumbang kpd suatu perintah global
ditubuhkan, iaitu kapitalis dan pasaran-berorientasikan, "penunjuk
perasaan Marcella Reyes kepada AFP.
"Saya berfikir bahawa Enrique Pena Nieto adalah penipuan
sejak hari dia berlari untuk Presiden. Beliau adalah seorang lelaki yang rosak,
dia mempunyai banyak latar belakangnya, & kita tidak boleh membiarkan Mexico
mempunyai jenis orang ini dalam kerajaan, "kata rakan-rakan penunjuk
perasaan Dolores Yara.
“We no longer recognize Enrique Pena Nieto as president of
Mexico because he has not met our central demand, which is to present our sons
alive,” Felipe de la Cruz, spokesperson for the missing students’ families,
told reporters.
“Pena Nieto isn’t the leader of the Mexican people. He
doesn’t represent our country. He is only contributing to an established global
order, which is capitalist and market-orientated,” protester Marcella Reyes
told AFP.
Guru dan pelajar juga dilihat membantah di negara jiran
negeri Oaxaca, di mana 1,500 dpd mereka megepung lapangan terbang tempatan
selama 4 jam, menye-babkan 2 penerbangan dibatalkan.
2 tahun selepas beliau yg mengambil alih jawatan, penilaian
kelulusan Pena Nieto adalah pd setiap masa yang rendah. Satu tinjauan oleh
Reforma harian menun-jukkan kemelesetan 11 % peratus dpd 50 kpd 39 % peratus
di antara bulan Ogos dan November.
Satu lagi pungutan suara, dengan kertas El
Universal, menyaksikan kejatuhan popularitinya 46-41 % peratus dalam tempoh
itu, menurut Reuters.

Teachers and students were also seen protesting in
neighboring Oaxaca state, where 1,500 of them blockaded the local airport for
four hours, causing two flights to be canceled.
Two years after he took office, Pena Nieto’s approval ratings
are at an all-time low. A poll by the daily Reforma shows an 11-percent slump
from 50 to 39 percent between August and November. Another poll, by the paper
El Universal, saw his popularity fall from 46 to 41 percent in that period,
according to Reuters.

Kemerosotan paling drastik dalam pemilihan bertepatan dengan
kehilangan pelajar dan konflik kepentingan yang melibatkan skandal pembelian hartanah
wanita pertama.
Selepas kehilangan, Pena Nieto berjanji untuk membawa pihak
berkuasa tempatan rasuah di bawah "kedaulatan undang-undang." Beliau
ditangani kongres dengan pelan 10 mata pada pembaharuan pihak berkuasa
tempatan, yang sering dikawal-sakit di majlis-majlis perbandaran di negara ini.
Ia bertujuan menghentikan pakatan sulit di antara kerajaan-kerajaan tempatan,
polis & kumpulan-kumpulan. Pelan ini melibatkan kuasa mentakrifkan dlm
kanun keseksaan dan menerima pakai jenayah-melawan undang-undang khas.
Beliau
juga mahu menghapuskan polis perbandaran dan menggantikannya untuk satu kuasa
persekutuan untuk memerangi jenayah di negeri-negeri banyak jenayah yang
dipenuhi dan bandar-bandar.

has to change’: Pena Nieto pledges reform after 43 students ‘massacred’
Alamat itu berlaku dua bulan selepas pelajar hilang di
Iguala.
"Apa yang berlaku di Iguala menandakan sebelum dan
selepas," katanya kepada orang ramai ketika melawat negeri selatan
Chiapas. "Ia menunjukkan kelemahan institusi bagi menghadapi jenayah
terancang, yang pada hari ini mempunyai lebih nombor, senjata dan kuasa
daripada di masa lalu".
Sementara itu, sehingga 10 kubur besar baru telah dilaporkan
ditemui pada hari Ahad, sebagai carian untuk pelajar 43 terus. Pendakwa raya
persekutuan masih belum mengisytiharkan pelajar hilang mati, mengatakan bahawa
ujian DNA lanjut mengenai mayat hangus baru-baru ini didapati perlu untuk
kembali. Mereka telah dihantar ke sebuah universiti Austria untuk pemeriksaan.
The most drastic slump in polls coincided with the student
disappearance and a conflict of interest scandal involving the first lady’s
purchase of real estate.
After the disappearances, Pena Nieto pledged to bring corrupt
local authorities under the “rule
of law.”He addressed congress with a 10-point plan on reforming local
authorities, who are often ill-controlled in the country’s municipalities. It
is aimed at stopping the collusion between local governments, police and gangs.
The plan involves redefining powers in the penal code and adopting a special
crime-battling law. He also wants to get rid of municipal police and substitute
it for a federal force to fight crime in the heavily crime-infested states and
towns.
The address took place two months after the students
disappeared in Iguala.
"What
happened in Iguala marks a before and an after," he told the crowd
during a visit to the southern state of Chiapas. "It showed the institutional weakness to face organized crime,
which today has more numbers, weapons and power than in the past."
Meanwhile, up to 10 new mass graves were reportedly unearthed
on Sunday, as the search for the 43 students continues. Federal prosecutors
have still not declared the missing students dead, saying that more DNA testing
on the recently found charred remains need to come back. They have been sent to
an Austrian university for examination.
