broken city in which we live is not ours. It belongs to the enemy. For years, many of whom sold to the public, partly for their own benefit, the myth of Monterrey unique qualities in the country and self-sufficient. We ended up believing. What is more, we did so because here the strength, indeed, had different connotations, but we became uncritical.
not know that by the last century and with the exception of the stately mountains were not very different from other peoples of the north. We leave in oblivion the reasons for our development, thanks to maritime transactions through Tamaulipas and railways were a commercial area, a mine in a city literally and-steel industry.
This does not indicate that our efforts to replicate across the country. The work, discipline and austerity led us to a solid upgrade. Generations grew up and made possible thanks to work the property after the father and son after the grandfather in the same factory. No one finds it strange to get up early, take the shuttle, arrive on time employment. Work, work, work. More work, less spirit. Therefore, never or very few have been fully public, we did not care much to be country by looking at our corner. Our future in the village. In contrast, welfare was paramount to us and please the boss and the leader.
Years passed and we were not related over, naturally, with trading partners of South American rather than Mexican entities whose relevance and momentum humanistic still take us by surprise. Know too the history of the rest of the nation, what became of the other as we looked only to the north (the country that certainly has not assumed responsibility of all regional) and ourselves. And as magnify our strengths, we also grow the fallacies with other regions: the South, sloths, the center, rogues. We never stopped to think how fast we were approaching those concepts that are present throughout the republic. What we expect from a country with a single party and still features that identify it.
This does not mean to be stressed that we do not have significant merits: this grew the political opposition, both right and left, here are innovated in terms of industrial, commercial empires were born here, the media here had a big boom . We can say we were happy. Blindfolded, but happy. I spoke of our strengths, especially in culture (see: The Rapture .)
Many things, however, took us by surprise and changed our course over time: migration, economic crises, natural disasters. A year awoke to the news that we were 2 million times larger, more populous, with more needs. And there was a claim decided in time for redress of social demands and the centurions of misery, the authority continued to pay more attention to the flourishes of their own interests than to the urban reorganization and social integration. We grew physically, but still acting as leaders hold half a century ago: the daily event, the popular division, the promise in the air. In end. Corruption. Not a really modern.
worst thing is that as citizens we did not grow at all, partly because we allow for the domestication of the business, politicians and ourselves: do not raise our voice, never defended the working classes to achieve better final, learned to dissenting view with suspicion and disinterest in seeking justice (see: At the foot of the Easter ), hence the social changes in the rest of the country, we in awe. Even citizens know our contributions largely forgotten by the huge, brutal oblivion we suffer as a disease.
Since we self-proclaimed self-sufficient, no one warned of the mistakes we were making. Maybe if they had said to us we would not have heard. We were so large, we said. So unique. But we were not very different. They said we were best city to live because our American facade created welcome. But it was everything.
Thus, the story reached us and one day and we were not the same: larger, more chaotic, more class, less outstanding social demands. Domestic crimes began to disturb us, fighting between gangs intensified, the consumption of drugs was being written between hospitals, graves and prisons. But we did nothing.
The company took a wrong course and even immoral, more trades, more consumerist, less humanistic, more disordered. I had very little to our left it in the road, worst thing is that other states also were on the same story. Our problems seem worse because we are afraid and have not broken the mirror against which we have been sitting and looking delighted us.
drug history we have written everyone, ranging from apathy we had to try to understand and demand slows. No one has written better than the media. The synthesis is simple: authorities turn a blind eye for decades, too much money, alternating politics, September 11, close air and sea border with the United States, all for land battle between cartels, organized crime explosion. The perfect breeding ground for this were the social backwardness and poor education. Today, we do not know where to put the head.
Many have written to intentionally on them, the worst days of Monterrey, and stress with defamation than how it is possible that the former industrial capital alive right now. Monterrey lives his worst days, because Mexico all the live well. The breakdown is even and if it took to get there is because other areas first entered a restructuring process that is not over. Crime hits much here because there is money. Pega, too, because we have the same political and judicial class all states: mediocre.
Although some are at the forefront of this defect.
impunity which we live is partly due to citizenship was inserted into the framework of indifference and corruption of which we complain today. Cooperate, we became part by not demanding justice and solutions, and today we need a high quality authority, brave and modern we do not have because I never ask. Know the minimum steps to remove, to demand accountability. Therefore, the city in which we live is not ours. It belongs to the enemy. Understood by hitman enemy, the public servant who makes the grass grow in a park and that their games are rusting, the official who allows third floors or living in the media but without doing anything. The authority does not provide justice for complicity. The authority to stop fleeing to all criminals, all criminals, from stealing a mirror of the car until it kills pedestrian on the street.
Monterrey's enemy, so is the city for being indifferent. This is a mea culpa would seem that we are assuming, there have been several media spaces open to discussion on what's happening in the city, why we got to where we are and how we can get out of it. This discussion in contrast to others, is being given and an expedited manner. Not appropriate, but is occurring.
To make matters worse, natural phenomena collapsed to an entity on which not just the blood flowing. Within months of a hurricane, the cities, especially metropolitan area, continue destroyed, rivers and sewers without dredging, roads hampered. And we, domesticated and patients as we have been, dull, get up every day, we got on the cars, we go straight to our destinations seeing nothing, doing something to demand disappear rivers full of debris, broken streets and dirty streets maddeningly flow slow.
Rivers of poor people who will never leave the poor while not acting decisively to remove them from the backlog.
injustice. How slow and few effective we have been calling for justice for all that hurts us every day. But not anymore, and with just say, we take a giant step.
Yes: we need a dredging. A deep dredging city to mark national pattern. It can. A dredging in the government, institutions, society. A full stop to allow us to reconsider, correct defects, appreciate our history and values, and move on with resolve and urgency, humble and great at once, to achieve justice, paz, la pujanza.
Y por qué no, hasta la felicidad.
Un desazolve que nos despierte, que nos haga incorporarnos, dejar de estar de rodillas como nos han querido tener y que lo hemos dejado. No, no debemos dejar que nos vuelvan testigos protegidos, delatores. Menos víctimas.
Debemos ser la autoridad que manda a la autoridad. Una verdadera ciudadanía.
