Teachers belonging to the North Coast Magisterial Movement led a march on Wednesday on Avenida Francisco Medina Ascencio, going up to the main square of Puerto Vallarta, to fix their stance against the recently passed Education Reform.

The contingent began with around 2 thousand people who were mainly teachers affiliated to the CNTE and SNTE and who also make up the mentioned movement, plus some parents and students, carrying banners and placards. As they advanced this number increased, according to participants to more than 3 thousand.

Originally it was convened at 8:30 am in the parking lot of the airport, but then they decided to start at 9:15 in Plaza Marina, to not give a bad impression to the tourists.

The participants walked almost four hours to reach the main square, where an assembly was held and their positions were clarified. Some teachers and parents took the floor and presented their arguments to participate in this movement that was convoked in all the municipalities of the state of Jalisco.

"We are in favor of an educational reform which contemplates 8 percent of the GDP for education and not 4 percent, we need more investment in education, we are in favor of an education reform which contemplates a maximum of 35 students per group, to be able to have a quality education near the children (...) sadly only 10 percent of the schools in Puerto Vallarta are half acceptable, sadly 90 percent have a deficiency of some sort, that is why we ask and we require from all levels of government that we fight in favor of education", explained professor Pablo Ruperto Gómez, of the high school Foránea Federal number 29.

While this was happening, a committee of 12 teachers requested an audience with the mayor of Puerto Vallarta, Ramón Guerrero Martínez, but he was not in the presidential compound and they were attended by the Councillor María Guadalupe Anaya, who heads the Education Committee within the city​ government.

Outside this group no other professor was allowed to enter into the City Hall building.
The purpose of this meeting was to ask the mayor to be the spokesman of rejection to the approval of the Education Reform of the State Government. They agreed to a meeting on Monday September 30th at 11 am, as announced by the spokesman of the committee, Lorena Jiménez Andrade, director of the school Niños Héroes de Ixtapa.

The professor stressed that there is a commitment on the part of teachers who left their classrooms this Wednesday, to make up the day depending on the dynamics of each institution, so that students are not affected by the lack of service.

Finally, the group disbanded and minutes after 1 pm the demonstration was over.

aguaPVMIn order to verify and monitor the progress of the rehabilitation of the north center collector, in its first and second stages, as well as the results of the environmental contingency that was presented last July after a portion of the central manifold collapsed, a few days ago the general director of the Lerma Santiago Pacific Basin, of the National Water Commission (CNA), José Elías Chedid Abraham came to this city.

César Abarca Gutiérrez, director of SEAPAL Vallarta, said the that the visit of the official of the CONAGUA consisted of an oversight tour through the manifold repairs of the Fluvial Vallarta zone and the Mexico-Mojoneras Avenue, in which the federal government has allocated an important part of its resources for improving this infrastructure.

He also said that he delivered a detailed report of the work done to address and resolve the problem of sewage runoff recorded last July in the colony Cinco de Diciembre, as a result of a collapse in the central manifold, which resulted in a environmental contingency in the beach Camarones, which has an official certification since more than five years ago.

Abarca Gutiérrez added that the timely attention to this contingency and the work done to repair the damage in the collector in order to prevent it from turning into a major problem, deserved the recognition of the federal official towards the water and sewer utility organism of the city.

He also emphasized that Chedid Abraham left satisfied with the efforts made by SEPAL Vallarta, with the support from the federal government through the CONAGUA, to give a comprehensive solution to the issue of the central manifold, and in general to the old and outdated drainage system of the city that causes these problems.

He noted that the director of the Agency of the Lerma Santiago Pacific Basin personally confirmed the advances in the rehabilitation of the north central manifold, in its first and second stage, and he had confidence that soon the work of the third stage will begin, to thereby solve an important part of the infrastructure and start planning what will be done in the following years to give a final solution to this issue.

teacher-demonstrationMembers of the National Coordinator of Workers of the Education performed for the first time, a massive protest, here

For the first time since the teachers' movement of resistance against the so-called education reform started, dissenting teachers of Puerto Vallarta marched en masse, generating strong traffic chaos for nearly three hours.

Yesterday, more than 2 thousand 500 teachers marched to Plaza Marina Square in front of City Hall in the city center, on the Boulevard Francisco Medina Ascencio, causing traffic and inconvenience to merchants, drivers and some tourists who arrived in a cruise.

Dissenting teachers, belonging to the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE), would gather in front of the OXXO of the airport but finally to "not affect tourism" they decided to assemble in front of Plaza Marina. To the detachment were added other groups of teachers from different schools along several avenues leading to the Medina Ascencio like the Politécnico, Fluvial Vallarta and the Bypass.

In this way, said the local teachers that are unhappy with the new education laws, they are adding to the national movement of "peaceful civil disobedience" to which the magisterial leaders have convoked. They say that the new laws harm them because it affects their labor, their age, their durability in their jobs, and their job security, among other things.

AGAINST SELF-MANAGEMENT
Some teachers said that it is not true that they are against the assessment as stated in some media, but against the fact that it is a punitive assessment tending to layoffs without recognizing their seniority, others mentioned that they require training in order to deal more effectively with the evaluations, as so far they only get "light courses", according to their statements.

The dissenting teachers noted that educational authorities should also be assessed, they said that first they should correct their own errors before attempting to evaluate the teachers; as an example they mentioned the errors found in the free textbooks of this school year.

Furthermore, with the aim of adding mothers and fathers to their cause, the teachers assured that with the Education Reform, parents will have to pay the expenses incurred on school grounds, by way of mandatory fees; they said that the parents will have to pay all school services and maintenance.

When they reached City Hall, the teachers had a brief rally in which they defended their arguments and asked the public to be informed and join their dissent, with the intention that the federal government "reverses and abolishes the new education laws".

no-more-taxesThey urge their companions in the Congress
In the next session, PAN deputies submitted a point of agreement to thoroughly analyze the proposal of the federal executive

Members of the parliamentary group of the National Action Party (PAN) in conjunction with the president of the PAN of Jalisco, Miguel Monraz Ibarra, consider it important that the proposal by the federal government on Tax Reform, is subjected to a thorough review, as they consider that it is a reform that significantly affects the economy of the people.
Among the points raised as part of the proposal are: increase in the income tax, VAT on tuition, rent and purchase of houses.
The president of the Economic Development Committee in the Congress, deputy, Juan Jose Cuevas García, said that there has been no economic development in Jalisco nor in Mexico. He mentioned that there is an economic downturn in the country that is serious, and this reform that will be carried out will significantly affect the economy of each person in Jalisco and in Mexico.
He made a call for: "No more tax burdens on the captive taxpayer", he also said that it is not possible that both the president of Mexico and the secretaries are touring the country to ensure that the reform is passed, currently the work is up to the lawmakers to decide whether or not to approve it.
He expressed his refusal to collect taxes on mortgages because it hits hard on the people who have the least and and work the most. No to the removal of the fuel subsidy because fuel will soon become much more expensive. No to the deficit which may lead us to a debt. No to the collection of VAT on tuition, which is a throwback, EPN is wrong if he thinks that all who go to private schools are rich.
Likewise he made a call to the government of the state to be on the side of the people of Jalisco and not of its party, he stressed that it is important to make an analysis, review and approval of the proposal.
He said that it affects middle-class workers. Inflicting additional levies that are unjust and inefficient. It hurts the growth potential of the economy. And furthermore it seeks to obtain most of its resources through funding, indebting the people.
He recalled that during the PAN administrations the federal borrowing times prompted by the PRI were left behind and now we are back to those times with these types of reforms proposed by the federal government.
He also said that far from being a tax reform it is a miscellaneous tax. It would seem as if the PRI seeks to obtain resources for 2015 at the expense of Mexicans, stopping the generation of wealth and jobs.
In the case of the maquiladora industry, "now they intend to implement a VAT to the maquiladora sector, which presently accounts for two million three hundred thousand direct jobs in Mexico and nearly eight million jobs considering the direct and indirect jobs."

The Councillor for Movimiento Ciudadano, Susana Mendoza Carreño, provided a report of her work during her first year as a mayor, in which she questioned the municipal administration of Ramón Guerrero Martínez and recalled debts of the former mayor Salvador González Reséndiz.

"I pledge to promote transparency, accountability, efficiency in financial instruments, fight for real advice from consultants and experts, so that the Council to which I belong travels on the right path of legality. We offered to change history and in this we must strive: it is not possible that every three years, you fall into a "move away so that I can take over", a repetition of the same vices, the same practices that impoverish the municipality and, what is worse, that the hopes of thousands of Vallartans die in respect to being able to change history", she said in a closing his speech.

In the event the notable absentee was the mayor Ramón Guerrero Martínez, and the General Secretary Antonio Pinto Rodríguez. However there were their counterparts Óscar Ávalos, Candelaria Villanueva, Jesús Anaya, Miguel Ángel Yerena Ruiz, Humberto Gómez Arévalo, Otoniel Barragán and the trustee Roberto Ascencio, besides representatives of the chambers of commerce and the director of Seapal Vallarta, César Abarca.
Among the initiatives that the council meeting has presented are the development of a Risk Atlas of Puerto Vallarta, the installation of regulations for gas stations, distribution, transportation and storage of hydrocarbons in Puerto Vallarta, the wage equalization asked by the lighting staff; repayment of financial resources to people to which they have been promised since 2008 by commercial establishments and which paid to the municipal treasury 110 thousand pesos; fire extinguisher allocation for the four delegations, first aid kits, megaphones, flashlights and all the necessary equipment that is necessary to help and service the people for 100 thousand pesos.

Mendoza Carreño assured that she had put in her bag 82 thousand 700 pesos for the delivery of 650 groceries packets for poor people and had supported every month three children: one with a DIF grant, a Kids Club Chivas player and one more with medicines. Also through the provision of eyeglasses, supporting single mothers, supporting elderly people, payment of medicines, and transfers to the city of Guadalajara, Mexico City and abroad.
Civil Protection Commission

She convened 96 meetings, starting on October 2 with the accident of the secretary of the mayor in the Municipal Administrative Unit, so that reports on the conditions of the property could be developed.

"It did not have an habitability permit, the premises were not suitable to house City staff, let alone citizens who come daily to the various government agencies to perform administrative procedures".

Evacuation routes were evaluated and problems of the housing development of La Aurora: "where there is a proliferation of stands with gas tanks and electrical installations that do not have the necessary security measures, coupled with changes in the internal structures of the departments, excluding a specialist report, authorization of the Planning Management, Land Planning and Civil Protection . The changes have caused severe damage to the structures of some load-bearing walls of the buildings, jeopardizing the safety of the inhabitants. "

"A tour of the 27 colonies was made where homes are located in high-risk areas like in Cañadas and Bosques del Progreso, where 12 families were relocated to safer housing due to the rainstorm, the payment of four months' rent was managed, for the months of June to October 2013, in the amount of 100 thousand 800 pesos, which were delivered in its entirety and directly to the landlords upon the signature of a promissory letter, it should be mentioned that in the previous administration, the same management was performed, but the resources were not delivered completely to the affected citizens".
On next Thursday at 10 am, the councilor will render the report regarding the transient commission of the delivery and receipt.

dam-curtain

The draft budget 2014 of the federal government allocates more than 980.2 million pesos for the construction of the Dam El Zapotillo, while the National Water Commission (Conagua) evades interviews to confirm the progress of the project or if the curtain of the reservoir will be of 80 or 105 meters. In the height difference, the flood of the town Temacapulín is at stake.
Since 2008, the Federation has accumulated a budget allocation of five thousand 569 million pesos for the project, which represents almost half of the total cost.
Last August, judges of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation canceled the agreement signed in 2007 by the federal and state governments of Jalisco and Guanajuato. The executive authorities then modified the height of the curtain of the dam from 80 to 105 meters to expand the storage capacity and benefit León, Los Altos de Jalisco and the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara but never took into account in the amendment the Congress of Jalisco.
The Attorney Carlos Enrigue Zuloaga was consulted on this issue: "It's not going to full court, it is simply referred to the governor (Aristóteles Sandoval) so that he can determine his will". This means that there are two possible scenarios: the agreement is signed again and the local Congress is considered to ratify the curtain at 105 meters, or the height is 80 meters and the flooding of Temacapulín is prevented.
Following the ruling of the Court, the governor of Jalisco reiterated his position that the height is 80 meters, but the Federation has the last word.
Representatives of all the parliamentary factions of the State Congress have already visited the zone in conflict and announced the creation of a special committee to address issues related to El Zapotillo. To date there is no news from the legislative body.

house-of-culturehouse-of-culture2

While the Antorchista Movement of Jalisco and the federal representatives of this organization got 3 million pesos to restore the House of Culture of Amatitán, the Mayor, Jaime Villalobos Rivera, has been in charge of hindering this effort, denying the social managers the right to visit the property, announced Salvador Ibarra landeros, Antorcha Campesina leader in the tequila Valley, adding that for this reason they will protest in front of City Hall, starting at 11 am on Friday September 7th.

A few days away from his First Government Report, Villalobos Rivera lambasted against the antorchistas without giving concrete arguments or explanations, only under the guise of "ignoring their efforts", without taking into consideration that now, thanks to the Social Movement activists, hundreds of families have obtained high impact benefits, which translate into road works and support for field work, areas in which over 30 million pesos have been invested, besides that there are several follow up projects, as well as other new ones that are being included within the production sphere.

Jalisco's Antorchista Movement, led by Eduardo Campos Flores, with the support of the federal deputies of the social organization, were able to allocate an investment of 3 million pesos for the renovation and maintenance of the House of Culture of Amatitán, interested in that the artistic activities are carried out in a dignified and comfortable space, with the aim that they constitute a formative and humanist contribution in the people.

In this regard, Ibarra Landeros said that a few days ago, the Antorchista Works Committee of Amatitán, received the engineers of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Public Works of the State of Jalisco (SIOP), who after inspecting the abandoned culture facilities, announced that within a month they will begin work on a comprehensive improvement of the property.

The leader explained that culture, in the artistic sense of the word, enriches and provides an alternative expression for the people, for which it is evident that there is a simple, but effective equation: "better human beings make better citizens", so in this march they are seeking to raise awareness in the mayor so that he does not hinder the project.

It is important to consider that emanating from the tour of the Antorchista federal deputy, Brasil Acosta Peña, where about a thousand people gathered at the House of Culture, an initiative was made for providing a better space for developing the talents of the people of amatitán. So during months of solidary fighting and with the decisive action of the municipal leader, Salvador Ibarra Landeros, the goal finally materialized.

Along 15 years, the House of Culture has been excluded from any budget which revitalizes it, leaving it in terrible condition, but now 3 million pesos are being used in major finishing touches: to finish the facade, replace the roof, build a backstage for artists, introduce air conditioning, expand the stage, to which floor boarding will be added, and rehabilitate restrooms, among other necessary things for its rehabilitation.

With a strict security protocol, changes in the cheer ceremony, as well as a repressed demonstration, the first cheer of Mayor Ramon Guerrero Martinez took place.

Since a few hours before the traditional cry of independence, the main square of this city began to get full of hundreds of spectators of the first ceremony led by Mayor Ramon Guerrero Martinez.

From 9 pm, department directors and special guests entered the building of City Hall, where they were offered a cocktail.

Near the hour, councilors, some directors, military authorities and other special guests waited for the mayor on the antechamber of the presidential balcony.
Among them was the representative of the governor, Andrés González Palomera, who by a change in the protocol, was asked to leave the area where the ceremony would take place. Obeying this, he chose to leave the area with his wife.

Seeing what happened, the councilors Humberto Gómez Arévalo and Susana Carreño urged him not to go, and managed to make him return to his place. Something else that was noteworthy was that other guests of the State Government were denied access and remained in the courtyard of the building, where the cocktail was carried out .

The mayor went out to the balcony around 10:50, immediately rang the bell and omitting the reading of the Declaration of Independence he said: "Mexicans, let us remember the heroes who gave us our country", then he started with the speech of the heroes of Independence.
Meanwhile a group of people who showed a blanket that read the message: Consultation In six months. Are you staying or not?, were obligated by Municipal Police officers to lower it.

Similarly the mayor was questioned about this manifestation and whether he would comply with the campaign pledge of submitting a consultation for his tenure in government, to which he replied: It is a day to celebrate, Viva Mexico.

Following this there was a show of pyrotechnics in the outdoor theater Achilles Cerdan, better known as Los Arcos.

Once Ramón Guerrero ended the ceremony he was asked for the motive for which he had implemented such a strict security protocol, to which he replied that it was coordinated by the 41st Military Zone according to their standards, exonerating himself from the restrictions to the guests who were left without participation in the ceremony.

governor-joins-mayorFor the sake of Jalisco

The mayor of Zapopan attends the First Report of Activities; applauds public policies that provide Jalisco's youth with opportunities.

The Governor of the State of Jalisco, Jorge Aristóteles Sandoval Díaz, attended the first report of activities of the mayor of Zapopan, Héctor Robles Peiro, where he reiterated his commitment to maintain security efforts and metropolitan coordination.

In his speech, the Governor celebrated that Zapopan is the first municipality of Jalisco, in completing confidence tests in their security personnel, and on this topic he said that he was going to continue working with a lot of responsibility from the State to purge police corporations.

Sandoval Diaz also applauded the efforts of crime prevention that were being made in 29 marginalized colonies of the former Villa Maicera where gang activity has been detected, and spoke of the importance of providing opportunities for the young people of Jalisco, who need opportunities, spaces, education and well-paid jobs to leave behind the figure that indicates that 51 percent of those held in prisons in the state are young people between 18 and 29 years old

In terms of sustainable metropolitan development, the state governor called the mayors of the municipalities of the urban area to work together to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of the capital of Jalisco: "The Metropolitan Area overflowed due to poor planning, saturation of vehicles and the lack of alternative transportation" he recalled, "for which the state government has decisively driven non-motorized mobility, [but] without the participation of the municipalities this effort will be less effective".

Finally he confirmed the support from the State Government to Zapopan, and to all municipalities that contribute to provide welfare to the greatest number of citizens.

* The Mayor Ramon Guerrero announced that next year they will be supporting less fortunate families with footwear so that their children can go to school

With the delivery of materials of the program 'Casa Digna' carried out this Thursday by the mayor, Ramon Guerrero Martinez, the mission to support this year a total of 7 thousand families across the municipality to have a better home was accomplished.

On this occasion, 204 thousand households benefited from the colonies of El Toro, Lomas del Calvario, Lomas del Coapinole, El Calvario, residential development Héroes de la Patria, Lomas de Enmedio and El Mangal, representing nearly 5 thousand people that were benefited in this zone.

He further stated that it is a program that is here to stay, so that in the next two years, those who are most in need will continue to be supported, so that they can improve their home and at the end of this administration, may have a decent place to inhabit.

"That's the goal of this program, I want end my term with the grounded satisfaction that this government could help you so they can have a heritage and a house, I want to go with that satisfaction but also, that you my friends help us so that this program that was born from you and was made for you, stays for Vallartans", said the mayor.

He said that this scheme of municipal support is a result of the savings achieved in many areas, such as travel and the payment of telephones for officials that were made in past administrations, "today we're delivering these savings to the people who have less with the same pesos that the city has, and today I tell you that the greatest resource, the greatest effort of my government, is going to the colonies and for the people who have the least; that was the commitment, to be a citizen government, a government that goes out to the street, that listens to people and that based on listening to people, puts itself to work".

The Vallartan Mayor said that this commitment is also reflected in other actions, such as the delivery of 52 thousand backpacks and packages for children of basic level and just over 20 uniforms, for which he announced that next year, in addition to these supports, school shoes will be delivered to students in the municipality.

Vallarta will have 50 new security patrols

He said that with this, it is sought that there is a permanent unit that looks out for a number of colonies, which will be strengthened with the optimization of lighting that takes place in the harbor and the rehabilitation of roads that start in the following months.
