How many people from Potosí will have been displaced from employment opportunities in the state public administration in the little more than 31 months that Ricardo Gallardo Cardona has been in office?
Track the data in the State Transparency Platformin itself complex for the location of information and with an open field for simulation, is not easy if we also add the obstacles that agencies usually use to hinder the right of access to public information.
On March 22, 2022, Digital Daily Astrolabe published a work by Carlos Rubio on The 16 infiltrators of Héctor Serrano in the Chief Officer’s Office of the State Government. It has not been the only agency in which the arrival of foreigners to occupy key positions is identified.
Other cases have been so public that their origin has been evident, such as that of Vania Moreno Solano, from Mexico City, who came to take charge of the State Parks Network for just over a month and by March 2022, she displaced to Carlos Mier Padrón the rectory of the Metropolitan Technological University (UTM).
Digital Daily Astrolabe today presents a work by Carlos Rubio in which he describes in detail the way in which a group of people linked to the PVEM in the State of Mexico He arrived to occupy the main positions in the administration area of the Ministry of Education of the State Government.
“Potosinos, under equal circumstances, will have preference over those born in any other part of the territory of the Mexican Republic or foreigners, to obtain all kinds of concessions, jobs, positions or government commissions, in which the quality of citizen of Potosí”, says article 23 of the Political Constitution of the State.
The mention of article 23 of the local Constitution is relevant not only because of the number of cases in which Potosí people are displaced by outsiders, but also because it fails to comply with the motto adopted by the current state administration: “Potosí for Potosí people” .
“Gallardo Cardona would do well if he ordered, in an exercise of proactive transparency provided for in the law, to make public the list of Potosinos who have been displaced by non-Potosinos after the waves of layoffs and new hirings,” was noted in this space when the information about the Mayor’s Office case was published.
However, if Article 23 of the Constitution that they protested to comply with and enforce is not honored, there is less to expect that they will do so with the slogan “Potosí for the Potosinos”, which only has propaganda purposes and does not have a minimum of commitment. real.
The real commitment of the governed, clearly, is with its external allies. In what other ways do you reward, mainly to the PVEM, the support that these alliances with foreign political actors represent?
Access to public information is so difficult that documenting the arrival of foreigners to all areas of government takes time, and by the time there is certainty, it turns out that the “Potosí for the people of Potosí” became “Potosí for the Potosinos…neighbors.”
