* Address the legitimate president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, special informational meeting during the National Movement in Defense Oil in the Juarez Chamber

Friends:

Thank you for your presence at this informative meeting convened with just two days before, because the circumstances warrant it.

As we all know, we are living in times of economic crisis, insecurity and uncertainty. This decline, As we have said before, not a product or fate, or fate, but the result of the policy of looting that have been imposed potentates.

not forget that 25 years ago, a group of white collar criminals over the government, has been taking over the assets of people and the nation and the government budget has been earmarked for the benefit of a few.

It is also clear that this group has been the main obstacle to the democratization of our country. They were the masterminds of electoral fraud in the 2006 presidential election. Do not forget that this mafia composed of bankers, speculators, traffickers and corrupt political influence, which are increasingly identified, walked a smear campaign against us, with the complicity of most media. And when they realized that neither so we win, bet on the electoral fraud and outright stole the presidency of the republic.

For our part, despite the sadness of millions of Mexicans who had farms their hopes for a real change, we decided to put forward our convictions and continue to fight for dignity, justice, sovereignty, freedom and genuine democracy .

So simple, yet profound, from Two years ago we defined our movement was to defend the people, national heritage and that we would work from below and people in the construction of a new Republic to establish a new economy, a new way of doing politics and new social, fairer, more humane and more equal.

also define very clearly that we would fall into the trap of violence, that our movement is peaceful and so we will transform the country's public life, because we are right and we have the involvement and support as never seen in the history of Mexico, millions of women and free men and conscious.

In our political action have always been responsible, putting even beyond our legitimate personal or group interests, the interests of the people and the nation. Proof of this is that 14 months ago warned about the effects that would have the U.S. economic crisis in our country. Today, unfortunately, those predictions are being fulfilled. On August 22, 2007, in a letter to the public, timely addition to explaining how the crisis was brewing in the United States made recommendations and we urge the managers of economic policy, to take steps to protect the people and the country's productive sectors.

But our warnings were ignored. To the extent that Calderon barely 20 days ago, expressed, so vulgar, that if the United States gave pneumonia, cause we here just a cold.

On Sunday 28 September, at the base of Mexico City, proposed an anti-crisis plan aimed at strengthening our domestic production, reduce trade deficit, preventing unemployment and further impoverishment.

Specifically, I recommended to Congress that, among other measures, it should cancel the price increases for gasoline, diesel and electricity, increasing the budget for the field, establishing price supports and subsidies to fertilizer and other inputs, to build three refineries to stop buying gasoline abroad, carry out a program of public works to revive the economy and create jobs, and it proposed to give scholarships to all high school students in the country, which should increase the budget to all the public universities that alimony will be delivered to all adults over the country, and their savings to former braceros and the cancellation of the called the Educational Alliance, which attacks the magisterial sector.

Ten days later, on Wednesday October 8 by morning, we again emphasize the anti-crisis plan, including, say to know how they could save 200 billion pesos in the budget, if suppressed or reduced items designed to maintain the privileges of senior officials. And that money will go to promote productive activities and in relief of the poor and dispossessed.

was until that day, at night that Calderon finally reacted and announced a program for growth and employment while taking the decision to use the reserves of the Banco de Mexico, supposedly to stop the devaluation weight, which was nothing more than a covert rescue potentates ever, that through speculation, promoted and tolerated from above, have been devoured in the blink of an eye, 9 billion dollars, which means more than 10 percent of our reserves.

response, we demand an investigation and punish those responsible, not only to speculators but to officials who took this decision. From now on I can assure you that in all this are involved rinsing them who gave him money and helped Calderón for electoral fraud.

As to plan for growth and employment, should ask the question: why now?, What Calderon was doing all this time? The certain is that they have lost almost two years. Has not rescued the field to achieve food self-sufficiency and increased imports of gasoline and other petroleum should be produced in the country, and while it is common knowledge the immobility of the usurping government, are failing small businesses, industry construction is stagnant, retail sales continue to fall and unemployment rises and poverty. And the worst thing that jumped at the opportunity to take advantage of high oil prices, which are difficult to re-present and most of the surplus has been squandered to maintain the privileges of the higher bureaucracy.

However, Calderon's program is a significant announcement, announced that it will build a new refinery that is, after it sent its efforts to privatize the oil refining and after so much deception in the sense that there was no money and even forbade the current legal framework, as stated in a government commercial on television. Now suddenly found the money and proved that not built by a commitment to national and foreign entrepreneurs to deliver the profitable business of refined oil.

But anyway, this announcement, my friends, means that and not be privatized at least refined oil. And that is a triumph of this movement, all of you, defenders of the oil. Although

remains to be seen if you build the refinery, because Calderon has not been able to hit or a brick, and have proven to be a bunch of useless. Recall that four years ago, Fox made a similar announcement, leaders pledged to Central America to build a refinery and still waiting.

Friends:

call on this assembly because the opinions are being developed in the Senate call for energy reform and need to be informed and vigilant. As explained here what Senator Pablo Gomez, the Broad Progressive Front lawmakers are defending our position as summarized in three basic criteria: Do not accept anything that violates the Constitution does not allow privatization in any of its forms, and not complicit corruption in Pemex.

We have decided to pursue, especially as prepared by technical experts and intellectuals to strengthen Pemex oil revenues without providing individuals, domestic and foreign. Specifically

oppose the following:

1. We do not accept the creation of subsidiaries Pemex, as proposed by the leadership of the PRI. This would reaffirm the policy of Salinas to privatize, in 1992 split into four companies, when in fact what is needed is to integrate Pemex to use the whole value chain and turn it into a lever for national development. The proposed subsidiaries is a kind of division of the spoils to consolidate the agreements between the PRI and PAN.
2. No let-risk contracts, neither open nor in costume. That is, incentive contracts offered by the PAN, or the so-called successful contracts sought by the PRI.
3. We disagree that the new emergency rule proposed by the PRI administrative and PAN, leeway is given for the allocation of works, procurement and services by the procedure of invitation restricted or direct allocation of contracts. It would be grotesque, with all the corruption in Pemex operates, still continue to promote the "contracts to benefit companies and dishonest officials.
4. We will not accept to be allocated to domestic or foreign companies, blocks or areas of the territory or national waters for exploration and drilling of oil wells.
5. We oppose, as proposed by the PRI and the PAN, that Pemex buy bonds and insurance to give impunity to the board and its director, for the damage they cause the company or the capital of the nation. This will be legalized outright corruption and impunity.
6. We reject that Pemex is submitted to the international court decision because it would allow the violation of our sovereignty.

There are certainly other issues that we must take care, however, these are what I consider fundamental.


Friends:

We are about to resolve this dispute so important for the present and the future of the nation. I know very well that it is not an easy matter, are many and powerful interests at stake. I know the size of the ambition of those desperate the privatization of oil.

For example, I have information that Claudio X. González, president of the Mexican Council of Businessmen, closely linked to Carlos Salinas, and who was one of the main promoters of the dirty war during the campaign and electoral fraud, is acting and convincing Manlio Fabio Beltrones, Enrique Peña Nieto , Francisco Labastida, Emilio Gamboa and Beatriz Paredes, finally tying the alliance with Calderon and carry out the privatization of oil.

Why do you think Claudio X. Gonzalez is doing the lobbying? Is he really interested in strengthening and modernizing Pemex? Or is it just your ideology right?
No, it's their greed and lust. This character has interests in the energy sector, in particular doing profitable business in the Federal Electricity Commission, to which he, along with Salinas and other foreign companies have led to ruin, and now seek to do the same with the oil industry which is also the people and the nation.

But I am also convinced that these vested interests can not be above the national interest and that fortunately there is this movement that represents the decorum and dignity of our people.

Friends: Let's be careful because

at any time by the actions of peaceful civil resistance in defense of oil.

From here, we respectfully ask the legislators of the three Broad Progressive Front parties that once you know the final content of opinions on energy, and if they are directed to privatize the oil industry, which they immediately starting the protests inside the chambers, which we will support, while calling for citizen mobilization.

I have therefore decided to suspend my tours of the country's municipalities. I'll stay tuned in Mexico City. Also, I will be reporting daily the people of Mexico not only on this matter, but actions to be taken to urgently address the problems caused by the financial crisis, devaluation, unemployment, famine, and guiding and helping as far as we can, people suffering from all these calamities.

In particular, I ask the brigade across the country to inform and organize their groups and be alert to any call to mobilize and conduct peaceful civil resistance.

Now more than ever it is essential to defend oil. If we did before, more so in these times of crisis, we present with our people and the oil under the control of the nation can save Mexico.

peaceful civil resistance Viva! Viva
dignity of the people!
Viva Mexico!
Viva Mexico!
Viva Mexico!
