There isn't enough money
In the next weeks, the authorizations for productive projects will start and there will only be a budget of 13.5 million pesos for 13 thousand proposals.

Cabo Corrientes Jalisco News.- Héctor Padilla Gutiérrez, Minister of Rural Development of the state of Jalisco, informed that this last weekend during the work tour in the municipality of Cabo Corrientes, they had received a total of 13 thousand proposals of productive projects.

He said that such proposals are doomed from the start, we are in the process of rating them, but the problem is that there isn't enough money for the 13 thousand projects.

He clarified that through the SEDER they will only destine 13.5 million pesos for the municipalities.

He advanced that they don't know up to what point they could get with the short term results.

With all of the results there are from the municipal presidents and producers. And the proposals of productive projects of different types. We decided since the start of the administration to make improvements in all of the municipalities.

In previous years, a large amount of money was concentrated in a few projects, sometimes in only two or three regions, for example in Ciudad Guzmán they took 70 percent of the money that came from Sagarpa and Seder.

However, there are municipalities in this region, which since more than four years ago, have not received the approval of a single project, reason for which we have to level the field in between all of the regions.

"We are going to limit the projects with a high level of investment, with the end of supporting the largest amount of productive projects, and so that there is enough money for each of the productive groups".

He assured that there are companies that during many years have been receiving economic support, this practice has been discarded during the government of Jorge Aristóteles in the state of Jalisco.

During the next weeks the authorization for projects will start, even though we will not be able to reach the majority, as we had commented at the beginning of our meeting with mayors", he concluded.

Meeting of the commission of justice

Puerto Vallarta Jalisco News.- Ramón Guerrero said that for the moment it is unknown exactly how many members of the corporation will leave the municipal police together with the colonel.

Such information should be determined after the meeting of the participants of the Commission of Justice and Honor, who held a meeting at closed doors in the drawing room of the city council.

There, in the order of the day, were the agreed points with respect to those officers who didn't abbey by the rules of the federal law of public security.

Before the meeting of the mayors and representatives of the commission, the Trustee Attorney General Roberto Ascencio, denied having any notification concerning the colonel.

This one, dressed in the traditional white shirt, pointed out that he didn't have any related information, but if the mayor had already declared changes in the corporation, he would obey what was mandated.

Among the most controversial points, which determined that the meeting be held without the presence of reporters, obeyed to the fact that there would be proceedings against a number of policemen that together with Silvestre Chávez, didn't pass the test.

In the interview with the first mayor of Puerto Vallarta, he pointed out that the theme of security is a very clear one, that he would always be in favor of all the officers who had passed the requirements of the law.

This means that they would back up those who had passed the loyalty test, but to date the results of all of the evaluations of all of the officers has not arrived, and thus it is to soon to say how many will be out of the corporation.

When the moment comes the appropriate measures will be taken, he told reporters. With respect to the test to the head of the corporation, the mayor confirmed that the results of Chávez had already arrived and that he did not pass.

This is a subject we are passing on to National Defense, which was the institution that made the proposal that Chávez should be named the head officer.

To closely observe how the social reintegration develops in this municipality, its level of progress, shortages, development or deficiencies, on June 24th there will be deputies from the Reintegration Commission of Congress of the state, who will make a series of inspection visits through the different regions of the state to judge the preparedness of Jalisco in this matter.

The local deputy, Juan José Cuevas García, informed that visits have been organized in different municipalities of the state, especifically to look at the centers of social rehabilitation.

The local legislator made it known that the route of the deputies will start in the Unidis, now of state jurisdiction, to observe the operating conditions of this center of social rehabilitation for juvenile offenders, "we want to know how it is operating, in what conditions it is in, what are they lacking, their shortages, their necessities, because the worst we can do is look at the other way, as if nothing was happening and to let these centers survive according to their luck, when what is ultimately required is our safety, because the rehabilitation of a juvenile offender means security for all".)

He anticipated that the second objective of the visit will be the municipal courts to see the conditions in which they operate and to find how to help them, "we know that on many ocassions there isn't enough support, there is no furniture nor desks nor computers, and that represents severe shortages and delays in the proceedings, and for no motive we can allow that for a lack of a resource the administration of justice is delayed.

He remarked that the visit of the 24th will end in the Regional Center of Integral Justice (Ceinure) of Ixtapa, with the objective of evaluating the conditions of the installations, the personnel and the situation of the interns, so that in the future, with resources and programs of attention, the full social reintegration of the interns can be guaranteed.

We know that for years these types of centers have been universities of crime, he said, "that the last thing that happens is precisely rehabilitation, social reinsertion, but we are ready for this to change, if there is a lack of resources let them be assigned, as is training, workshops, orientation and everything that is needed so that social reinsertion can be guaranteed.

The local deputy stated that the deputies of the Congress of Jalisco, are in tune to support all of the initiatives related to justice, social reinsertion, of opportunities for those who have done a mistake, for if it was otherwise they would be accomplices of repeating a sanction and punishment model that has shown to be inefficient in this society, "we hope that for next year we can assign enough resources to attend the needs of these centers of social rehabilitation of Puerto Vallarta and the rest of the municipalities of the sate of Jalisco".

In recent weeks it has filed several complaints of extortion phone in this language and with local authorities, however, many more go unreported by affected persons, whether or not they have fallen into the deception.

In recent weeks it has filed several complaints of extortion telephone In These journalistic offices and with local authorities, however, many more go unreported by affected persons, whether or not they have fallen into the deception.

The most recent and well known publicly, was the former politician Ismael Macias Garibay, who claimed he was the victim of a telephone extortion, ceded to a cash payment through a bank deposit, however frequently affected by this situation speak to this wording to complain and what to do with these cases

In response, the Attorney General of the State of Jalisco (PGJEJ) announced that it is important for people to be informed in order to prevent becoming a victim of these facts, since criminals taking advantage of the emotional states manipulated people to achieve their economic objectives.

Generally, criminal groups use mobile phone lines, which appear on caller ID as "private number", to make the call and creating fictitious situations, whereby, convincing victims to deposit cash or post codes prepaid cards airtime

MODUS OPERANDI:

The offender either make phone calls to landline (home) or mobile (cellular), claiming that they belong to a criminal group and kidnap or harm made to members of the family of the victim, and to make them believe that they are monitoring in the vicinity home with armed men, thus achieving instill fear in people.

Then, ask the person who gets out of the house carrying a cell phone and charger, or performing a cell phone purchase, making emphasis on having tapped telephone lines, which are monitored and any attempt communication of the victim to their families, come armed to kill a loved one.

Faced with these threats, the victim continues to literally all indications of offenders, and provide them with all personal data that the offender requests, including a phone number of a relative

Having done this, the offender is in constant telephone communication with the victim, asked to go hide somewhere (mall, hotel stays, gift shops, etc.) When you communicate with relatives of the victim into believing they are physically the victim in a safe house, isolated and sometimes say they are torturing, the moment you ask for a "rescue", this being a cash deposit or refills calling card. Thus preventing criminals relatives communicate with each other.

It is noteworthy that these criminals make the calls from other cities, ie never have direct contact with the victim, so use the "conference call" or "tripartite conference," cell phones into believing relatives, they actually have a person deprived of liberty or kidnapped, a language used big words.

The voice is strong, fast talking accents sometimes from other states, using the threat as a means of manipulation and claim to have data of the victim or his family.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Authorities recommend listen and identify what it is called, once you hang up and then note that the offender will call at least three times, so we recommend not to answer the phone all the remainder of day.

It is very important not to provide personal information to strangers under any situation and avoid leaving name in your voicemail, as well as in the contact record them with names and not with their relationship.

THE DATA:

If you receive a call and they say they are belong to a criminal group and they order you to leave home,  first make contact with your family to ensure that they are well,  keep on hand the emergency phone numbers (066) (089)

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party begins a congress on Saturday to overhaul its manifesto and open the door to major changes in energy and tax law to spur faster economic growth.

The PRI, as the party is known, plans to vote on measures that would allow President Enrique Pena Nieto's administration to consider imposing a value added tax (VAT) on food and medicines and to allow more private investment in state oil firm Pemex.

Pena Nieto, who took office in December, has pledged to boost annual growth in Latin America's second biggest economy to up to six percent. To do this, Mexico must overhaul state oil monopoly Pemex and improve its paltry tax take, the government says.

Without levying a value added tax on food and medicines, economists say Mexico may struggle to raise tax revenues, which are currently the lowest in the Organistion for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as a proportion of gross domestic product.

However, applying the value added tax to food and medicine is controversial because it would fall most heavily on the poor, about half the country's population.

Food and medicine have been exempt from the tax, but senior PRI party officials say that element will be removed to give the party more options to broaden the tax take.

"VAT is important. But it's by no means the center of the fiscal reform," PRI party chairman Cesar Camacho said this week, looking ahead to the congress.

The PRI, which ruled Mexico for 71 years straight until 2000, used its stance on the VAT to thwart efforts by the conservative National Action Party (PAN) to increase the tax take during its 12 year rule, which ended in 2012.

Since recapturing the presidency, the PRI leadership has made the case for sweeping change to bolster the economy, which underperformed its main regional peers under the PAN, growing about 2 percent annually for most of the past decade.

Yet the changes sought by Pena Nieto run contrary to many old tenets of the PRI, a party which started on the left and gradually drifted toward the right during its long rule.

Overhauling Pemex, a symbol of Mexican self-reliance which provides a third of the federal tax take, is particularly sensitive for the PRI, which created the company when then-president Lazaro Cardenas nationalized the oil industry in 1938.

Output of crude has slumped to less than 2.6 million barrels per day from 3.4 million in 2004, and lawmakers worry the oil industry will be left behind unless it can improve performance.

Pena Nieto aims to make the monopoly more efficient and more independent. He has vowed to bring in more private capital and has taken inspiration from Brazil's state-controlled oil firm Petrobras, part of which has been publicly listed.

But he is constantly having to defend his administration from accusations that he plans to privatize the oil industry.

During the congress, the PRI will reaffirm that oil is the property of the nation, but stress the need to strengthen Pemex and open the company to more outside investment, a senior party lawmaker told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"We want to keep our options open," he said.

One of the members of Mexico’s House of Representatives has aroused the concerns of her fellow lawmakers, thanks to her choice in clothing…or lack thereof.

Photos of Crystal Tovar Aragón, a 23-year federal congresswoman, wearing a revealing short skirt created a stir in the Mexican media and on social media sites, prompting a fellow congressman to call on Mexican media outlets to behave respectfully and ethically in their treatment and portrayal of lawmakers.

“We strongly appeal to the media to contribute to the construction of a democratic country and promote an equal relationship between women and men, through messages that eliminate discrimination and violence against women,” said José Gonzalez Morfin.
