Synopsis "Estado de Emergencia: De la Guerra de Calderon a la Guerra de Pena Nieto"
Carlos Fazio nos ofrece un libro imperioso que desenmascara la propaganda oficial, desmonta la estrategia gubernamental en materia de seguridad —con énfasis en las autodefensas michoacanas— y nos ayuda a comprender el Estado de excepción no declarado que se vive en México.El autor aborda temas fundamentales que no han tenido suficiente visibilidad mediática, entre ellos:•;El monopolio de la fuerza del Estado y el paramilitarismo.•;La economía criminal en el mundo actual.•;México en el marco de un Estado de excepción sin declarar.•;La práctica de una política oficial de facto centrada en el derecho penal del enemigo.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIOPNCarlos Fazio starts from an unsettling premise: in Mexico, there is an undeclared state of emergency, where it is possible to trace the history of a true official policy of extermination.For more than a decade, a process of paramilitarization has been underway in various regions of great geo-strategic importance. In this way—explains the author—behind a supposed war between the good state against the bad criminals, there is a brutal dispute over territory, markets, and resources. In the framework of this molecular civil war of everyone against everyone, regulatory violence has been used to finish off the "internal enemy" and the "competitors" in the criminal economy, but also to control the public.From the so-called "death squad" in Ojinaga, to the Monterrey Tech students killed by the military, to the case of the Almanza brothers in Tamaulipas and the massacres in Tlatlaya and Tanhuato or the disappearances of the teachers in Iguala, Fazio documents an incessant series of atrocities in which Mexican state agents have been involved. In these cases, we can see a historical pattern of cover-ups and impunity, the result of which is a complex link between armed groups, political-economic elites, and a population that has lived for too long between grievances, outrage, and fear.
