Stories from The Debate

April 18, 1974

CALDERÓN, SUCCESSOR OF AVM. Senator Alfonso G. Calderón was “uncovered” by the League of Agrarian Communities and Peasant Unions of the State and later, by the Federation of Popular Organizations, in events that took place in the offices of the PRI Steering Committee, as a candidate to succeed to Mr. Alfredo Valdés Montoya. The PRI delegate thanked the Cenopist representatives for their visit, who made it known that they have proposed Senator Calderón, who has deep knowledge of the problems, as a candidate for governor.

NIXON URGES WORLD PEACE. Washington. President Richard Nixon urged Latin America to collaborate with the United States to achieve world peace while outlining the agenda of the “new dialogue” currently being carried out by Washington and its hemispheric neighbors. “Our friendship with Latin America constitutes the backbone of the structure of peace that we are trying to build.” This was stated during a meeting at the White House, between the Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, and 24 foreign ministers from Latin America and the Caribbean. Nixon expressed confidence that “we could work more closely with you in maintaining peace beyond the confines of our side, just as we could work with you in maintaining peace in our hemisphere.” The North American president spoke before more than 112 guests and it was his first in-depth speech on Latin America since he began his second administration 15 months ago. “Politically,” Nixon said, “you can expect that the United States will not seek to impose its political preference on your countries. We will not intervene in the internal affairs of your countries.” He then dedicated several paragraphs of his speech to the topic of the “new dialogue,” which began in Tlatelolco and continues with the current conference. Nixon made it clear that for the United States, the agenda of this new dialogue means peace, political freedom and economic growth.

NAFTA SINKS AGRICULTURE. The agricultural sector faces an unprecedented financial, production and marketing crisis, as a consequence of the erroneous agricultural policy, the drought and the federal government's failure to create conditions that truly favor the development of the countryside, denounced the president of the AARFS. Miguel Tachna explained that the problems in the countryside have worsened as a consequence of the Free Trade Agreement, where norms and laws were established that have prevented this activity from taking off.

US ASYLUMS MEXICAN MILITARY. The Angels. Jesús Valles, former captain of the Mexican Army, was asylumd by the United States authorities, who considered that his refusal to “kill indigenous people” in Chiapas could make him a victim of the Mexican government. Valles, 31 years old, declared before immigration authorities that he refused to comply in January 1994 with superior orders to kill anyone suspected of being a member of the EZLN in the Lacandona Jungle. The former captain fled Mexico with his wife across the Texas border in 1995.

Sylva Mónica Ruffo Kelly, who completed her basic and high school studies in Los Mochis, stayed two years in El Centro, California, where she perfected the English language. She joined El Debate in September 1994 as a translator and later, in 2000, she became an assistant editor at El Debate de Los Mochis, tasks that led her to take charge of the entertainment page for more than 10 years and the newspaper archive. Upon the death of the City Chronicler, Don Evaristo Fregoso, in September 2003, who wrote the Los Mochis column 50 and 25 years ago, Ruffo Kelly took over the history column, which he later changed to Mi Ciudad 50 and 25 years, in which he narrates what happened in those years on the same day of publication of the newspaper EL DEBATE of Los Mochis.
