The vicissitudes of Ciudad Juarez have a long history. Originally called Paso del Norte, which is not a minor detail, was an important settlement English to spread from there, many missions without much opposition from indigenous peoples. It was also the only point where I could cross without too much difficulty then-mighty Rio Grande into the United States. Paso del Norte on the Mexican side was in 1848 when, with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the country ceded to the United States more than two million square kilometers of its territory. The French intervention has also had its impact in this border city, Benito Juárez in the struggle was forced to move his government to the last point of Mexican territory: Paso del Norte, there were installed the powers of the Republic in 1865, a about our country that suffered the consequences of changes in the Rio Grande river. It was under the rule of Porfirio Díaz, many years after the struggles Juaristas that Paso del Norte, changed its name to Ciudad Juárez in 1888, two years before the troubled twentieth century.
Today, Ciudad Juárez, is about one and half million inhabitants, making it the seventh largest metropolitan area in the country and was considered by many analysts as the laboratory of neoliberalism. Despite its name change, Juarez is still an important step towards the north. The maquiladora industry, read early the advantages of a geographical point connected with safe passage to the north, the maquila transformed the face of that border town and it was she who gave the city the final blow, neoliberally talking about: the annual growth rate of Ciudad Juárez was reduced to 1.34% during the 2000-2005. The reasons? The Chinese and their products and endemic violence that the maquiladora industry itself had helped to sow. The value of life was reduced to value time / span of bodies in relation to the maquila.
territorial disorder progressed over the desert. Colonies and neighborhoods, peripherals, abandoned were populating the landscape of a city whose boundaries began to be challenged by the ability death. With a rate of 191 homicides per 100 thousand inhabitants, Juárez was transformed into its own black legend. There is no way to replenish historicity in such a short space, but suffice to say that Lomas del Poleo, the cemetery in the open field where many bodies have been found written female violence is the sum of 380 hectares which are located just a side of the border with New Mexico, and one of its boundary runs parallel to the vast property, owned by billionaire Chihuahua, Eloy Vallina Laguera, called San Geronimo, now, despite the resistance of the inhabitants of this vast desert land has privatized. The "bi destinations" are tied to the desert geografía. La biografía de miles y miles de personas encuentra en esos páramos el obstáculo que ponen los dueños del capital.
Ya no hablamos aquí de los “cárteles” y sus aceptadas disputas por un territorio que cada vez vale menos (basta un recorrido por las calles de Juárez para dar testimonio del exterminio y el repliegue)…No son Vicente Carrillo frente al Chapo Guzmán, aunque la lógica mediática de los poderes se regodee en esta parte de la historia y efectivamente haya poderes cupulares. Hoy los clanes han tomado la palabra.
Los clanes mandan y disputan sus emblemas. En una zona metropolitana sin control, donde la voracidad de los constructores con complicidad de las autoridades en turno, neighborhoods grow exorbitantly, without history, without roots, without memory. In a city which confronts the neoliberal horizon, where the productive body is only that to which value is extracted for 3 months before being sentenced to his own exhaustion, in an area of \u200b\u200bfree passage, whose value lies in its geographical location is plausible to understand the violence they go ... ants frightened by the storm to come, prey on the body of the scorpion.
No public transportation in this terrible mess that was the Paso del Norte, residents are forced to move in some way ... hope neoliberalism Ships daily tribute of blood ... cars unbranded and unclaimed proliferate, some Small logs are expected future ... many machines are on the verge of collapse
not better close your eyes and pray for the extermination of the "bad." In this story there are drug dealers all ... it is important not to forget the greed of capital.
