PES gives a candidacy for military ex -president for alleged Huachicol Covid: the country that has only vaccinated 3% of its population and destroy one million dose

The newly created solidarity meeting party, originated from the extinct PES, gave a local candidacy to Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Javier Álvarez Cárdenas, who was denounced before the Attorney General's Office (FGR) for allegedly having collaborated with General Eduardo León Trauwitz, today a fugitive, in the illegal extraction of fuels from inside Pemex during the Peñista administration.

In addition, Mexican investigation against corruption and impunity (MCCI) points out that Álvarez Cárdenas participated, together with Trauwitz, in the negotiations so that Pemex acquired in 2014 the spying system of Vinci - semestering the pegasus malware - for 1.1 million Dollars

Lieutenant Colonel Álvarez Cárdenas is now withdrawn from the army and was welcomed by the PES to be a candidate for the mayor of Naucalpan.The party, which has been the ally of Morena in Congress, decided to run in this election 20 ex -military as candidates for federal and local deputies, as well as mayors, trustees and councilors, all for the State of Mexico.

These candidates were already approved by the National Electoral Institute (INE) and are firm.Among the candidates, both owners and substitutes, are retired military from all military grades: general, colonels, older, captains, lieutenants and sergeants.

The PES leader at Edomex, Isidro Pastor, said the party had reviewed the history of all its military candidates, without having found any irregularity.

“We ask you, to make this proposal, to have a clean sheet of services, at least.We do not want a retirement military to come out tomorrow with a kilometer tail of slopes or signs.It is what we have and have no problem, ”he said.

However, with a criminal complaint on track, Lieutenant Colonel Álvarez Cárdenas passed the “filter” of solidarity meeting.Pastor said he has been aware of the complaint against the ex-military exman, but defended that he, until now, he maintains his political-electoral rights and can be a candidate.This medium failed to contact the applicant directly to question him about the complaint against him.

"The colonel does not know of any investigation and has not been summoned, either as responsible or as a witness or as anything, by the authority," Pastor said in the name of Álvarez Cárdenas.“The strange thing is: why, being known and located, he hasn't been summoned?And that (the complaint) is several years ago.He is there and has no concern. ”

Pastor said that the candidacy of Lieutenant Colonel Álvarez Cárdenas will be maintained, despite the complaint that accuses him of having participated in the Pemex hydrocarbons looting while holding a command charge in the parastatal herself.

“We do not find any element to not include it (as a candidate).Until this moment, for us, (the retirement military) are good people, good candidates, until the FGR does not say anything else.At the moment I had (a signaling of the Prosecutor's Office), we would dispense with him immediately.We have no commitment to anyone, ”said the PES state leader.

Álvarez Cárdenas was part of the Trauwitz team in the Strategic Savaguarda Subdirectorate (SSE) of Pemex, an area responsible for the physical security of the oil facilities - including its pipelines - and that in the administration of Enrique Peña Nieto was commissioned to the military.

PES da candidatura a exmando militar denunciado por presunto huachicol COVID: el país que solo ha vacunado a 3% de su población y destruirá un millón de dosis

The now candidate for trustee was the head of the Strategy Management and Safety and Monitoring Systems of the PEMEX SSE and had, among other functions, to design a safeguarding system against the theft of hydrocarbons and analyze the information of the systems of the systems of the systemsDucts measurement.

According to process, Lieutenant Colonel Álvarez Cárdenas was denounced before the FGR in January 2019 together with Trauwitz and eight other military controls for allegedly participating in an illegal hydrocarbon extraction scheme since the SSE of Pemex.

In May of that year an arrest warrant against Trauwitz was turned, which before being responsible for Security of Pemex was head of Peña Nieto escorts.In 2020, the FGR asked Interpol to broadcast a red card against the general, who presumably took refuge in Canada.

The research folder indicates that Trauwitz and a group of collaborators that he designated in the SSE participated in the theft of hydrocarbons to Pemex through clandestine shots that passed through Puebla, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tlaxcala and Mexico City.

The FGR investigation argues that the general and his relatives created a scheme to prevent clandestine shots from being denounced before the Public Ministry and, with it, the magnitude of the huachicoleum was kept out of criminal statistics.

An example of the criminal operation attributed to Trauwitz is that, in February 2017, two subordinates of the PEMEX SSE were arrested by the Federal Police while driving an official vehicle with two fuel containers, firearms and a pump for theftof duct hydrocarbons.

Electoral commitment for ex -military

The Solidarity Meeting Party bets electorally for Naucalpan, where numerous military reside-in active and in retirement-with their families, because in this Mexican municipality the military field number 1-A is settled.

19 of the 20 ex -military that postulated the PES aspire to charges with roots in that Mexican municipality.Only one is a candidate in Teotihuacán.

Isidro Pastor, leader of the party at Edomex, said that all its military champions are withdrawn and comply with the eligibility requirements established in the law.Article 55 of the Constitution establishes that, to be deputies, applicants must not be active duty in the Army since least 90 days before the election day.

Only the template of the PES candidate for mayor of that municipality, the Nazarea Herrera Maldonado colonel, is made up of another 11 retirement military who aspire to trustees and councilors, both owners and substitutes.One of them is the aforementioned Lieutenant Colonel Álvarez Cárdenas, candidate for trustee.

In the three local electoral districts with head in Naucalpan -29, 30 and 32- the match, respectively, the Lieutenant Colonel in Retire.

In turn, in federal districts 22 and 24 -with the head in Naucalpan- the PES nominated the general of Brigadier of Diploma of General Staff Reyes Robles and the Captain Diploma of General Staff Óscar Eduardo Hernández Mandujano, who was married to a daughter of SalvadorCienfuegos, former secretary of National Defense.

In the Federal District 5 -with the head in Teotihuacán -, the party launched the General of Brigade of General Staff Jesús Hernández Pérez, who until a few months ago was commander of the 39 military zone based in the municipality of Ocosingo, Chiapas.

Three candidates interviewed assured that their presence on the electoral ballot towards the elections of June 6 does not mean a militarization of civil functions, since they are removed from the military service, but said they support that the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador gives the army plus faculties plus facultiesIn public administration.

They pointed out that their main offer to the electorate is to put into practice values learned during the years - even decades - that were at the service of the army: honor, discipline, loyalty, honesty and honesty, they said.

“We give the word of honor.In the military regulation, a military does not give the word of honor if he does not believe he can fulfill it, so we are not going to make campaign promises, we are going to give the word of honor of what we are going to work in as a group, ”says Captain Diplomaof Staff Hernández Mandujano.

"Campaign without uniforms"

Isidro Pastor, an expriista who collaborated in the Government of the Mexican Eruviel Ávila, recounts that it was the retirement military who previously organized and, as a group, came with him to request candidates for the PES.

He explains that his candidacies are convenient because Naucalpan is the main residential seat of military and because the municipality requires greater security, an aspect, he says, in which his flag bearers are specialists.

“Naucalpan's main problem is security, and they participated in internal security tasks in some way and know how to set some objective, they know how to do it, make a diagnosis, how to mark a strategy, design a tactic to solve this.I believe that the problem of insecurity is very serious in this country, it is still a slope of both federal and state and municipal governments, so we make the decision to seek that alternative in Naucalpan, where the largest number of military is settledIn retirement or retirees, ”says Pastor.

The partisan leader emphasizes that candidates come to campaign civil and without badges.

"They are not dressed in the street in uniform but as citizens, they live with citizens, and their interaction with society is not like an interaction with security forces, they are already citizens," says Pastor.“Yes there are opinions in favor and few opinions against, but they have been well accepted because people have the image in the head that the only ones who make the effort that this country is more or less surely are the military, henceOn the outside, the police have not had the best performance or have the best image. ”

"They forget and despise the soldier"

The General Diploma de State, Reyes Robles married, served 45 years in the Army, including a period as a military aggregate of the Mexico Embassy in the United States in the 90s. He is a candidate for federal deputy and his daughter, the oldestKatia Robles Andrade, is also a flag bearer of PES to a region of Naucalpan.

In an interview, General Robles married supports the decision of the current administration to strengthen the Army and give it more faculties.

“I consider that there is a confidence in what the army does, there is a lotThey insisted on honesty, in the word of honor, in loyalty, ”he says.

Married Robles, 67, acknowledges that there are military elements indicated by human rights violations, but ensures that, for the most part, soldiers are loyal and honest.He also laments bad treatment of the population to the uniformed.

“I think that when they know the military truly, it is trustworthy;There may be some situations where all the issues of honesty are not covered, because they do exist, but the generality is honest soldiers. ”

"Yes it has passed, but there says a saying that says:‘ When the population faces difficult situations, they remember God and the soldier, and once the difficult time passed, they forget God and despise the soldier. "That is the saying that many know, ”he says.

For Colonel Nazarea Herrera Maldonado, who served 30 years in the Army and 5 years in the Federal Secretariat of Health of the past six -year term, it is an advantage that the population considers it inexperienced politics.

Candidate for mayor of Naucalpan -in the same form where Lieutenant Colonel Álvarez Cárdenas aspires to trustee-, Herrera Maldonado, 54, argues that he has always been at the service of the population, without distinguished.

“We have worked for all apolitically.Other people might think that we have political inexperience.For us it is a (advantage): we do not have a political formation, our training is work, delivery, service, and that is what we put available to citizens, ”he says.
