THE USE OF proxies in beneficiary companies with public administration contracts is a practice that, despite being denounced, continues more relevant than ever in the government of the 4T.
At the beginning of the year, the Head of the SAT, Raquel Buenrostro, publicly denounced a group of companies, among which Rapax SA de CV was ranked first.
We are talking about a firm specializing in property cleaning services, which despite having been mentioned, Compranet report the contracts assigned to it by various dependencies this year.
The INAH directly assigned a higher one to the 25 million pesos through a contract whose validity goes from February 25 (after the complaint of the owner of the SAT) to December 31, 2022.
The Attorney General of the Republic of Alejandro Gertz Manero, the ISSSTE directed by Pedro Zenteno, the National Water Commission in charge of Germán Martínez and Prevention and Social Rehabilitation led by José Ángel Ávila are others that gave him contracts.
Only between the end of 2018, which marks the beginning of the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and 2021, Rapax has obtained a total of 76 government contracts for more than one thousand 300 million pesos.
Buenrostro denounced that there is a group of companies owned by the same owners -use loan names- same as they do not duly pay fees to IMSSThey pay their workers incompletely, they tell them that they are going to give them one salary but they receive another and they are generally a mess.
“Last year we removed several public servants who were dedicated to supervising contracts for the provision of services, mainly cleaning ones.”
Due to the lack of compliance with contracts, the SAT penalized the company Rapax and also requested the Secretary of the Civil Service of Robert Salcedo eliminate them from the framework contract in which they participate by bidding.
However, despite the complaint, this company presumably owned by Marco Antonio Jesús Reyes Saldívar, “The Tsar of cleaning”To the date still making profits.
Although with a lower amount and with a contract valid from March to December 2022, the FGR, under the “other contracts” procedurereceived it as a provider of services.
The ISSSTE did the same, under the procedure of bidding and invitation to at least three peopleand granted him another contract valid from February to December 2022.
Who does Rapax actually belong to?

ANOTHER APP THAT that the government inherited from the 4T is the one it has with the Sanofi laboratory to produce vaccines. The ghost of his cancellation seems to have already dissipated, if you remember the threats made by Andrés Manuel López Obrador himself at the start of his six-year term, which were tempered by the then Head of the Office of the Presidency, Alfonso Romo. This administration has paid the historical debt that totaled more than three thousand 398 million pesos as of December 1, 2021.
