      <description>&lt;![CDATA[MORENA-MN protests privatization of Mexican national oil company&#34;)&#xA;&#xA;Saint Paul, MN - More than 75 people came together to say &#34;Pemex is not for sale!&#34; at a protest outside the Mexican consulate here on Aug. 24. They denounced Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto’s scheme to privatize the Mexican state-owned oil company, Pemex (Petróleos Mexicanos).&#xA;&#xA;!--more--&#xA;&#xA;The protest was organized by the Minnesota chapter of the Mexico-based organization MORENA, the Movement for National Regeneration. MORENA is leading a movement in Mexico and internationally to try to stop the privatization of Pemex.&#xA;&#xA;The demonstration included several speakers and a performance by the Aztec dance group Kalpulli Ketzalcoatlicue. Protesters demanded that someone from the consulate come out to receive their petition and signatures against the privatization of Pemex. Unable to ignore the protest, a consulate official came out and spoke to the protesters, promising to share their demands with his superiors.&#xA;&#xA;Pemex was formed in 1938 when Mexican President Lázaro Cárdenas sided with oil workers striking against foreign-owned oil companies demanding an increase in pay and social services. On March 18, 1938, citing the 27th article of the 1917 constitution, President Cárdenas embarked on the state expropriation of all resources and facilities, nationalizing the U.S. and Anglo–Dutch oil companies to create Pemex. Pemex now has a total asset worth of $415.75 billion, and is the world&#39;s second largest non-publicly listed company by total market value, and Latin America&#39;s second largest enterprise by annual revenue as of 2009, surpassed only by Petrobras (the Brazilian National Oil Company).&#xA;&#xA;Under the guise of ‘modernization,’ Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), is pushing a scheme to privatize Pemex, which would allow it to be sold off to multinational corporations. This would be a bonanza for the multinationals and would deprive the Mexican budget of huge amounts of resources, leading to inevitable cuts to social programs and services.&#xA;&#xA;A similar energy ‘reform’ passed in 2008, legalizing the sale of national territory to private corporations. Peña Nieto is pushing to unite all Mexican parties into the privatization scheme with the neoliberal Pact for Mexico, which includes the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), National Action Party (PAN) and the Revolutionary Democratic Party (PRD). MORENA rejects this as nothing more than a pact for privatization of national resources in order to sell them off to multinational corporations.&#xA;&#xA;According to Francisco Chavez, a member of MORENA-Minnesota, “MORENA-Minnesota protested today at the consulate in defense of Mexico&#39;s petroleum and Mexican families&#39; economic well being. Enrique Peña Nieto&#39;s PRI government wants to open Pemex up to the large multinationals, many of which were expelled from Mexico in 1938 by the nationalist government of Lazaro Cardenas del Rio.

      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Protesta de MORENA en Minnesota, 7 de julio 2012&#34;)&#xA;&#xA;San Pablo, MN - El Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (MORENA) de Minnesota organizó una protesta afuera del consulado mexicano aquí el 7 de julio, protestando reportes de fraude generalizado en la elección presidencial en México el 1 de julio. Hay reportes generalizados de compra de votos, irregularidades con papeletas, y otra clase de fraude. La protesta del 7 de julio en San Pablo coincidió con megamarchas a través de México y en el resto del mundo el mismo día.&#xA;&#xA;!--more--&#xA;&#xA;En la elección el 1 de julio, los medios de comunicación masivos en México y el Instituto Federal Electoral (IFE) rápidamente declararon a Enrique Peña Nieto como el ganador a sólo horas después del cierre de las urnas y muy antes del conteo de todos los votos. Peña Nieto es el candidato del Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), el partido que gobernó a México por 71 años hasta el año 2000 y era conocido por su corrupción y violencia para mantener su poder al servicio de los ricos. El PRI negoció el Tratado de Libre Comercio de Norteamérica (NAFTA) con los Estados Unidos y Canadá. Cuando impusieron a NAFTA en 1994 eso resultó en la devastación de la agricultura mexicana y el empobrecimiento de la población lo cual impulsó una ola masiva de migración de mexicanos hacia los Estados Unidos. El PRI también es el partido responsable de masacres como el masacre de Acteal en Chiapas en 1997 y la del Tlatelolco cuando masacraron a una cantidad grande de estudiantes protestando durante los juegos Olímpicos en México en 1968.&#xA;&#xA;El PRI perdió elecciones por primera vez en 2000 contra otro partido neoliberal, el Partido de Acción Nacional (PAN). Si se mantienen los resultados anunciados en esta elección, la elección de Peña Nieto regresará al PRI al poder. Eso fue el enfoque de la protesta de MORENA, en contra de lo que tildan como la imposición de Peña Nieto.&#xA;&#xA;Andrés Manuel López Obrador fue el candidato presidencial principal en contra de Peña Nieto este año, uniendo varias fuerzas para intentar derrotar a los dos partidos neoliberales (PRI y PAN). La coalición de López Obrador incluyó al partido socialdemócrata Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) juntos con unos partidos más pequeños y sindicatos y organizaciones sociales. MORENA fue una de las nuevas organizaciones populares que López Obrador inició, con secciones adentro y afuera de México para movilizar independientemente para elegir López Obrador y seguir organizando por el cambio en México.&#xA;&#xA;López Obrador también fue candidato presidencial en la elección anterior en 2006 y según dicen los resultados oficiales él fue estrechamente derrotado en un contexto de reportes de fraude generalizado. En respuesta a los resultados oficiales de la elección en 2006, cientos de miles de mexicanos ocuparon el zócalo en el centro del Distrito Federal de México y rehusaron salir por varios meses, exigiendo el reconocimiento oficial de López Obrador como el presidente legítimo. En la elección la semana pasada López Obrador también fue derrotado con reportes generalizados de fraude e irregularidades.&#xA;&#xA;Mientras las protestas siguen en México, López Obrador también está siguiendo una estrategia legal para desafiar los resultados oficiales en base de la acusación de compra de votos masiva por el PRI.&#xA;&#xA;Protesta de MORENA en Minnesota, 7 de julio 2012&#34;)&#xA;&#xA;#SaintPaulMN #Mexico #MORENA #MovimientoRegeneracionNacional #AndresManuelLopezObrador #EnriquePenaNieto #PRI #Americas&#xA;&#xA;div id=&#34;sharingbuttons.io&#34;/div]]&gt;</description>

El PRI también es el partido responsable de masacres como el masacre de Acteal en Chiapas en 1997 y la del Tlatelolco cuando masacraron a una cantidad grande de estudiantes protestando durante los juegos Olímpicos en México en 1968.</p>

<p>El PRI perdió elecciones por primera vez en 2000 contra otro partido neoliberal, el Partido de Acción Nacional (PAN). Si se mantienen los resultados anunciados en esta elección, la elección de Peña Nieto regresará al PRI al poder. Eso fue el enfoque de la protesta de MORENA, en contra de lo que tildan como la imposición de Peña Nieto.</p>

<p>Andrés Manuel López Obrador fue el candidato presidencial principal en contra de Peña Nieto este año, uniendo varias fuerzas para intentar derrotar a los dos partidos neoliberales (PRI y PAN). La coalición de López Obrador incluyó al partido socialdemócrata Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) juntos con unos partidos más pequeños y sindicatos y organizaciones sociales. MORENA fue una de las nuevas organizaciones populares que López Obrador inició, con secciones adentro y afuera de México para movilizar independientemente para elegir López Obrador y seguir organizando por el cambio en México.</p>

<p>López Obrador también fue candidato presidencial en la elección anterior en 2006 y según dicen los resultados oficiales él fue estrechamente derrotado en un contexto de reportes de fraude generalizado. En respuesta a los resultados oficiales de la elección en 2006, cientos de miles de mexicanos ocuparon el zócalo en el centro del Distrito Federal de México y rehusaron salir por varios meses, exigiendo el reconocimiento oficial de López Obrador como el presidente legítimo. En la elección la semana pasada López Obrador también fue derrotado con reportes generalizados de fraude e irregularidades.</p>

<p>Mientras las protestas siguen en México, López Obrador también está siguiendo una estrategia legal para desafiar los resultados oficiales en base de la acusación de compra de votos masiva por el PRI.</p>
