Well madeline penman is a regional researcher for the americas and the Center National and joins us now from mexico city via skype good to have you with us on the program madeleine and 1st of all these numbers are fairly difficult for many of our viewers to comprehend just what are the reasons behind the surge in the home aside rate in mexico welcome truly to what locals of the door has promised the president in terms of moving away from the military strategy that weve seen over at decade in mexico in fact the reality is that his presidency has not moved away from that right section and we see more and military on the streets and we ever have before in mexico and studies that actually showing that this approach with the front. To tackling organized crime in fact is that way to to increase in violence so the National Guard that locals article creates. With his new presidency is in fact the me and that may be cloaked in in a socalled civilian disguise but in fact remains the same for the same. Training and in the navy in mexico has been certainly the court that this is related to the war like. Problem and so it seems that that will lead to an increase in the by that so if youre saying that Excessive Force is the reason why there are so many homeless sights on mexico streets and this is why the because 100 and over 120 People Killed in one day seems astonishing and its time to see the current policy of the mexican government. Well we census 2007 that a. P. S. Violence has increased in mexico so where into the 2nd decade of a war on drugs and still thirtys in mexico generally have a policy of take no prisoners and in that sense normal rule of law institutions using the Justice System to ensure that crimes properly investigated there is a principle approach to counter these mechanisms are not being relied on so that for sort of. An all out i 5 to see 2 sons or is going all the same or it is a drug cartel and unfortunately we think that this is the only increase in escalation of violence and an increase in the loss of human life and many times of saying that this is the sole to. Cross file with people being. Apparently presented as criminals that are not criminals with the use of torture to extract false confessions and within full of disappearances as well there are more than 40000 disappear because many of those over the grass the prefer the person they were thing is and in too should. Fail because when no more rule of law making this is simply not working and less of those present behind for parts and. Or change where is where does the solution my vend does the president look to bring in this policy of hugs not bullets are you saying hes not hugging enough. Well actually what is missing is our strategy to strengthen policing institutions so right now mexico as has been lying for over a decade. And the maybe who are not trained to do no most civilian policing functions unfortunately what the voters of the presidency did was extinguished the federal police have very little plans to strengthen. The the capabilities of policing institutions and so theyre relying on an institution that is trained really to be in war like situation the not trying to protect this is a key issue the other solution is acting in a corner we were to the huge rise of violence the huge driver of young people going into the bank of organized crime however less of of ago has. Programs and size agrees that minimum wage which we heard to have some effect and i think the court ok matalin penman live from mexico city thank you very much indeed for your phone. Thank you.
