Warnings in Mexico of hidden agenda in Peña-Nieto Obama meeting

by the El Reportero’s wire services

The next meeting at the White House between Presidents Barack Obama, and Enrique Peña Nieto, of Mexico, will be a political staging with a covert agenda, says the La Jornada diary.
An article by Carlos Fazio says that Peña Nieto’s official visit to Washington occurs when the Mexican head of state has ‘its legitimacy in the red and politically weakened.’
He mentions regarding this ‘the State crimes of Tlatlaya and Iguala’ as well as ‘scandals of opacity, corruption and conflicts of interest’ that, as he says, affect the presidential environment.
The publication notes that starting in January Obama will govern with a Congress under Republican control, which will shorten his room for maneuver, while the disappearance of the students from Ayotzinapa and other facts have kept Peña Nieto ‘since three months ago in a virtual condition of astonishment.’
He argues that the ‘covert agenda has as nodal point the consolidation North America as an geographical space integrated by Canada, United States and Mexico, under the economic and military control of Washington.’
‘Such consolidation occurs in the face of intercapitalist competition in the markets and the appropriation and plunder of the global geostrategic resources,’ he adds.
He claims that the increase in the structural crisis of the system comes accompanied by economic and energy wars, geopolitical upheavals and destabilization operations of the Pentagon and NATO axis in areas of influence of Russia and China.
Fazio takes into account the recommendations made known in October by the Council of Foreign Relations, ‘powerful global shadow government based in New York’, which advocates preserving the ‘imperial hegemony’ by deepening integration with Canada and Mexico for economical, energetic, security, environmental, and social cooperation.
He mentions the unified security strategy for North America, based on which Obama should support efforts of Peña Nieto to strengthen the democratic governance in the style of the one applied by Alvaro Uribe in Colombia, under the auspices of Washington.
He makes reference to the border cooperation, ‘with the subordination of the armed forces of Mexico to the Pentagon’s Northern Command, which, since 2013, through the Merida Initiative, has intensified training courses to military personnel and native civilians in irregular warfare, counterterrorism and counterinsurgency.’
He concludes that the Mexican president was called to Washington ‘to deepen the delivery’, especially in energy, with the implementation in this area prompted by the Aztec executive for the opening of the hydrocarbon sector.

Civilian search for missing students to begin in Mexico
Families of the missing Mexican students of Ayotzinapa teacher training college make preparations to begin a civilian search next Saturday.
In a cultural festival held yesterday at the Avenue of Chilpancingo, the capital city of the Guerrero state, Felipe de la Cruz, spokesperson for the families of Ayotzinapa students forcibly disappeared in last September, urged population to support the search.
He said that all intellectuals have been called for a forum on February 2nd to discuss the situation in the Guerrero state, claiming that elections will not be held until the return of the 42 students disappeared in the Iguala city, in Guerrero, (one was found dead).
He also urged political parties not to make profit from this movement for midterm elections in next June since they use it in spots “in a shameless and inhumane way; using our slogans, marches and messages to make political propaganda and win the people’s support.”
