MEXICO CITY, April 5 (Process) .- Since August 2007, when he became President of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judiciary of the Federation (TEPJF), which seeks reelection, Maria del Carmen Alanis has built a personal empire by network of relationships with prominent figures from all political parties, the three branches of the union, private enterprise and academia.
is not uncommon, as you can prove to be political criteria, affective and business which often lead to court action for Alanis, who is embroiled in another scandal when caught in a surreptitious meeting on March 9 to alleged pact with emissaries of the Governor Enrique Peña Nieto TEPJF that cleared him of violating the Constitution, as was the decision of the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE).
The cast met at the home of Alanis in a meal, not dinner, as clarified by his fellow judges, reveals the sign of relationships: The advisor to the IFE Marco Antonio Baños, its exsocio in the consulting firm and Demos identified as an aide to Senator Manlio Fabio Beltrones, and expriista Enrique Ochoa Reza, an aspiring director and his subordinate in the TEPJF.
Other attendees were PRI federal deputy Luis Videgaray, campaign coordinator Eruviel Avila, candidate to succeed as Governor Peña Nieto of the State of Mexico, and Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada, a representative of his party to the IFE and the brother of Fernando, a businessman who comes to 240 thousand pesos monthly Alanis advise on political lobbying and media communication.
A fifth guest of the meeting, who on Wednesday met with Alanis 30 to request to be excused from the trial Peña Nieto, as confirmed by Alanis itself to the leadership of the National Action Party (PAN), was Frank del Rio, a of his friends who allegedly operates, along with Benito Neme Sastre, in favor of the PRI governor.
Disclosure by the newspaper Reforma that secretive meeting in the penthouse of Alanis, placed under suspicion by the PAN, which has supported the promotion of Margarita Zavala, her friend since childhood, "forced her to proceed in a misleading and caused anger among judges .
When, on Friday 17, the newspaper column published in the Fray Bartolomé institutional details of the meeting, Alanis began a vacation until 22, but returned to his office a day earlier, when the whirlwind column, Roberto Zamarripa with the title of the dinner, he added details of the meeting.
No matter that the judge Alejandro Luna Ramos was in office as president of TEPJF by operation of law, Alanis began to issue instructions to stop the scandal, such as sending letters to the newspaper through the Coordinator of Social Communication, Octavio Mayer, but he judges as Flavio Galvan claimed.
- I am the president! "He said.
"You were not acting," he said Galvan. Do not know what it means to be president by operation of law?
"Sorry, I was wrong," he admitted after a long discussion.
On Tuesday 22, two days before the PAN formally requested to do so, Alanis posed to judges in closed session excuse to intervene in the case, by rapporteur, which internally is interpreted as a ruse for not committing to Peña Nieto, as it has done in cases in which simply absent.
These issues include the ratification of fines on broadcasters, the challenges of the PAN in state elections or actions promoted by opponents of the current New Left of the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), which supports it.
For now, as he said Gustavo Madero, president of PAN, the party is suspicious of her, although, at the meeting of Wednesday morning, denied that the meeting with the PRI and the Minister has agreed Bathrooms exonerate Peña Nieto.
Agustín Castilla federal deputy, witness the meeting of the leadership of the PAN with Alanis, reveals, "Marianne told us:" I categorically deny that I was charged that there was agreement and even economic offers. Is false. It is a meeting as I have many. Maybe it was not relevant, can be discussed '. "
Castilla says the judge anyway is at a crossroads: "If you excuse, some might think you're agreeing with the arguments that say that at that meeting he discussed the matter of the State of Mexico; if not, it could also be thought to have any interest in the matter. "
But, he says, even" if the court upholds the decision of the IFE will be those who think that pressing left or could be a rapprochement with the PAN; whether to revoke the resolution, shall be construed to confirm an agreement in the framework of this meeting with representatives of the PRI. "extravagance
The TEPJF may reverse or affirm that Peña Nieto violated Article 134 of the Constitution, which prohibits the use of public resources for personal promotion, and Article 128 of the spots payable Cofipe national television on the occasion of his fifth report of government, as the IFE decided on 18 January. Beyond what the ruling, Alanis consolidates his power within and outside the TEPJF not cut corners.
Supported by the 2 billion pesos TEPJF budget for this year, Alanis has become more obese at the institution for positioning in the labor structure to your friends or judges, and to pay lucrative contracts to companies and people linked to it.
The goal: Re-elected in August as president of TEPJF to qualify the presidential election, in which he intends to participate Peña Nieto, only to be minister of the Supreme Court Justice of the Nation (SCJN), where it enjoys the friendship of ministers and Mayagoitia Guillermo Ortiz, and Fernando Valls Sergio Franco.
austerity does not go with Alanis, when he became President of the Electoral Tribunal in August 2007, after Galvan resigned "for health reasons, the institution had a staff of 886 seats, but by March 2011 totaling over one thousand employees.
Despite having a team of social communication, with 43 public servants, Alanis multimillion dollar sums intended advice on the matter: for example, awarded a contract to Total Strategy, lobbying firm owned by Fernando Lerdo de Tejada that in 2011 only amounts to 2 million 784 thousand pesos, at a rate of 232 pesos a month for "consulting services in strategic disclosure."
little less than that amount and for a two-year contract, the agency pays Ferrer and Associates for advice on campaigns: a total of 2 million 180 thousand pesos. Friend
Alanis, the electoral exconsejero Rodrigo Morales Manzanares got a contract, effective from March to December last year, 809 thousand dollars for "professional services for consulting on electoral matters."
for "consulting services", from June to September the Crown TEPJF Rafael Funes paid 290 000 pesos. And the civic association Civic Inclusion gave 527 thousand dollars to "develop the project for Children like me."
Each member of the Editorial Committee of the Electoral Tribunal, who meet occasionally, you are paid almost 150 thousand pesos. These include Lorenzo Córdova Vianello, Alvaro Rafael Arreola and Michel Estrada.
The Electoral Tribunal, even 50 thousand 270 pesos allocated to the maintenance of seismic warning receiver.
Another fact: The TEPJF paid 6 million 300 thousand pesos to the sculptor Henry Carvajal González, known as Sebastian, a sculpture called "The ways of justice to the XXII century "as part of celebrations for the Bicentennial of Independence and the Centennial of the Revolution. The sculpture was donated to the UNAM and stands next to University City Stadium.
Friends TEPJF payroll has grown, too, because Alanis has permitted judges to hire friends and relatives. She herself, who earns a salary of half a million pesos a month, has used the institution to expand its political ties.
hired as Alanisdepartment head Patiño Ramon Muñoz, son of the director of the Faculty of Law, UNAM, Ruperto Patiño Manffer, who serves on the Academic Committee of TEPJF.
allegedly at the request of Alanis, Patiño Manffer signed a letter on behalf of the Law School to support Ochoa Reza, who serves as director of the Center for Electoral Training TEPJF-election as an aspiring director.
Along with Ochoa Reza, who was one of those attending the meal with emissaries of Peña Nieto, Alanis drives to the IFE's General Council Mayans Cecilia Tapia, administrative technical coordinator of the institution, and Leonardo Duque Rocker, who was his partner in the consulting firm Demos, along with Marco baths, the other diners.
Alanís In March 2007 it ceased to be a member of Demos to sell stake to turn Emilio Rabasa Gamboa, her husband and close friend to Manlio Fabio Beltrones, and the following year, in April 2008, the consulting firm was liquidated.
In June of that year he resigned the Electoral Assistance and Training company, where he was a member of Jorge Alcocer Villanueva, and did the same in the civil partnership and Chimeras Dreams, dedicated "to all types of professional services on consulting. " Alanis
also induces Jacinto Silva Rodríguez, Judge of the Regional Court of TEPJF based in Guadalajara, Jalisco, who enjoys the support of Calderon, but also the far-right organization in El Yunque. In fact, according to information from the Regional Court, Jacinto Silva, who aspired to be a judge of the Superior Electoral Tribunal, said goodbye to staff the week before, assuming that is one of three council members.
As part of their political relations, which enabled it to maintain control of TEPJF, Alanis also hired actuary Ojesto Martinez Fernando Manzur, attached to the Ministry of Agreements and son of exmagistrado TEPJF Ojesto Fernando, who is her thesis advisor PhD and aide to Bob Nemeth, one of the operators Peña Nieto.
Ojesto is a friend of Benito Neme Sastre, a contributor to Peña Nieto, and aide to Frank Del Rio, another of those attending the meeting at the home of Alanis, son of Carlos del Rio Rodriguez, president of the SCJN.
TEPJF President is private secretary Tatiana Hernandez Velazquez, whose relatives are supposed to own the design firm, Rebuilding and Communications, SA de CV, a supplier of stationery to the electoral authorities.
Backed by Alanis, there are judges who hire relatives and friends directly or through their colleagues, as is the case of judges and Pedro Ramos Luna Penagos Lopez, who in the first round against Alanis voted for president in August 2007, proposed by Judge Manuel Gonzalez Oropeza.
working with Luna Ramos Juan Carlos López Penagos, Secretary of study and consideration, and Armando Penagos Robles, assistant secretary, both relatives of the judge Penagos Lopez.
And it works Francisco Belisario Luna Ramos, secretary of presentation, brother of Judge Luna Ramos. Another relative of the judge Penagos Adriana Penagos Robles is assistant middle managers in the coordination of relationships with electoral management bodies.
Penagos Lopez, who has stopped seeking contest to see Alanis TEPJF president, hired as secretary of paper Orantes Jorge Alberto Lopez, brother of Senator Maria Elena Orantes, who ran for secretary general of the PRI and related facility is said to Beltrones and Peña Nieto.
For its part, the judge hired Constancio Carrasco Daza Daza Jose Luis Ceballos, Secretary of study and has, presumably a relative.
Thus, this network of relationships, Alanis seeking reelection as president of TEPJF in a session that will be held on August 5, because in that time period the judge concluded Flavio Galvan, who resigned for health reasons ...
