CDMX.- Although he claimed to be against militarization, PRI senator Jorge Carlos Ramírez Marín confirmed yesterday that the Institutional Revolutionary has an initiative for the military to continue in public security tasks, but under evaluations by civil society and international supervision.
In a video message, Ramírez Marín assured that his criticism is against giving a blank check to the Armed Forces, and that, for this reason, the PRI will send an initiative in which the fifth transitory article would also be reformed, with some padlocks
“I am not in favor of giving our Armed Forces a blank check, they need to have a legal framework, but it is also necessary for society to know how they use it, how it goes, how many results the activity they are doing offers, substituting or participating as auxiliaries in what local police should do,” he said.
According to the PRI, social organizations would determine the variables to be evaluated and international participation would be accepted.
“We did get to work, we created the conditions in which, it could be, with the consensus of all, that we modify that article and guarantee that Congress is the center of the evaluations.
“That civil society is the one that forms and determines the indicators of these evaluations, not three pages, an evaluation, that international supervision is accepted and that the center of the strategy is the strengthening of local forces in states and municipalities. They are those who must do the task, we could promote that in Congress with the work we are doing,” he added.
The Yucatecan senator, who has been singled out from among the PRI members who could change their vote and go in favor of militarization until 2028, added that he will not vote against a policy just to be against a party.
“What I don’t accept is that ‘no’ because of a political stance, not because I entrenched myself, not because I want to beat the other party, I can’t respond to parties, alliances or whatever, I have to respond to those who put me in, the Yucatecans,” he pointed out.
Grupo REFORMA informed since last week that the PRI bench in the Senate would discuss tomorrow an initiative in which points are added to strengthen the mechanisms of supervision and evaluation in terms of strengthening civil bodies.
A legislative source indicated that the tricolor proposal proposes to maintain the bi-cameral commission that the Chamber of Deputies approved last September 14 as part of the reform that extends the Army’s permanence in the streets to 2028.
As well as giving it the power to create a high-level group made up of specialists, academics and civil organizations, who would be responsible for saying what and how the strengthening of state and municipal bodies is evaluated.
