In the middle of a offensive academic against stake of the Armed forces in labors related in one way or another to the National security to the inside of the Republic, the President López Obrador used part of the morning on Monday the 6th to explain the reasoning about the military role in activities that have to do with national stability.
The decision to use the military for topics related to security It was not from the current six-year term, but rather comes from the key point in which the PRI State abandoned direct control of criminal gangs and the doctrines of public security – that is, common crime – were modernized and institutionalized, while the The overflow of insecurity affected the stability essential for investment, development and republican democratic functioning.
The strategic replacement of old PRI politicians by technocrats in 1983 was recognized in the National Development Plan of the Government of President Miguel de la Madrid, the first in a long cycle of national planning: the national security doctrine that was established in terms of defense against Any foreign interventionist harassment was transferred to what the Constitution had already assumed since the birth of the Constitution of Cádiz of 1812 and which would later be extended to the constitutions of 1824, 1857 and 1917: internal security as a function of the State to combat crime. within the Republic that affected political, democratic, economic and development stability.
The problem has been that section VI of article 89 of the Constitution clearly establishes the presidential power to exercise the criterion of internal security in maintaining stability within the borders, without going through special legislative permissions. However, it is one of the few presidential constitutional powers that lacks regulatory law and that has had gradual adjustments to the Magna Carta to allow the military to assist the security police forces in the fight against organized criminal groups that have the capacity to violence superior to that of conventional police.
The entire long list of books that have been published in the last three years on the activities of the Armed Forces in the three security areas – public, internal and national – has not taken the care to review with legal doctrine the legal powers of the laws that protect military activity and that are included, as President López Obrador recalled on Monday, May 6, in five legal missions:
1.- Defend national sovereignty in an international scenario plagued by the winds of war and direct and indirect interventionism, especially from the United States, which wants to place American soldiers or offensive missiles in areas allegedly controlled by drug trafficking cartels within Mexico.
2.- The care of internal security as the function of the State to participate in activities that guarantee sovereignty and rights in institutional and territorial areas that appear as targets of capture by organized crime. The Armed Forces have strengthened the internal security structure against criminal groups that have high economic, firearms and criminal capacity and that have subjected territorial areas of State sovereignty to their criminal interests.
3.- The participation of the Armed Forces in social development and in activities that have to do with guaranteeing the well-being of Mexicans in remote areas of the Republic or far from the interests of commercial companies and in infrastructure construction activities.
4.- Contributing to the development of Mexico is one of the functions and missions of the Armed Forces that appears in its organic documents and that allows the use of the capacity of the Army and the Navy in the construction and maintenance of the infrastructure that naturally the private sector disdains due to low business profit.
5.- The fundamental role, recognized in the world, of the participation of the Armed Forces in relief work for the civilian population in cases of disaster, such as the DN-III Plan that has already been taken by other armies in the world to give practical and social functionality to the organizational capacity of the Armed Forces.
The presidential reminder about the constitutional missions of the Armed Forces exhibits the bias of books and studies that disdain the military function in the stability and sovereignty of the Republic.
