Index – By Eduardo J. De La Peña – El Diario de Coahuila

In La Laguna there was a stir with the appointment of Carlos Torres Rosas as the new coordinator of social programs of the federal government and head of the superdelegates, since he is originally from Durango and is said to have many ties to Torreón.

But if in that region they expect something good with the designation, at the national level, what predominated were the questions, since Torres Rosas will not leave his other position in the federal administration, as technical secretary of the Presidency, and as they say, the covers little tightens, which is just what has happened with the superdelegates who take care of everything and solve nothing.

It is also striking that someone with the profile of Carlos Torres, a graduate of one of the most accredited universities in England, and who before entering public service worked for a Coca-Cola subsidiary, has such a prominent position in a government who proclaims himself a defender of the poor. But in short, the least there is in this administration is congruence.

And regarding the federal government, there is a group of notaries annoyed with the delegate of Infonavit in Coahuila, Gustavo Díaz Gómez, who is applying new provisions at the local level that leave many notaries without the possibility of carrying out procedures related to the institution.

For years for a notary to be able to deed purchase-sale operations of homes financed with Infonavit credits, he has been required to comply with a registry, a procedure that is also costly and cumbersome, but the same was not required to deed the cancellation of mortgages, which changed from a few weeks to now.

So if a citizen decides to hire, because it suits him, a certain notary to process the cancellation of his mortgage, if it is not on the Infonavit register, they will not allow it.

Among notaries, it is assured that in other entities registering on the institution’s register is quite simple, and the perception is that in Coahuila the delegate Díaz Gómez is favoring a monopoly of old notaries who do not want competition.

In this compromise, in the end those who are harmed are the users. The healthiest thing is that all notaries are allowed to carry out the procedures, so that there is competition, better prices and better service.

In addition to the fact that the surveys position Coahuila among the entities with the best perception of security, and that the crime incidence statistics confirm that this perception corresponds to reality, there are other facts that speak well of our state.

For example, while neighboring and nearby states are ravaged by an escalation of violence, with massacres in Zacatecas and Reynosa, assaults and disappearances between Monterrey and Nuevo Laredo, here in Coahuila we host world-class events such as the Ultra Marathon held this year. weekend in Arteaga.

The governors of Nuevo León and Tamaulipas are flatly recommending their citizens to avoid road trips, and here instead there are the conditions to receive 1,500 athletes from 18 countries that Saturday and Sunday will run through gaps and roads in the Sierra de Arteaga .

Anything more forceful than this?

In the Carboniferous Region it is said that if the mining consortium AG y Cía decided to hide from the authorities the accident that occurred on June 11 in one of its mines in Obayos, with everything and that the injured worker is affiliated with the IMSS, it was so as not to make noise in another adjudication process in which in those days they were participating to obtain another contract – a million dollar contract – with the CFE.

The company is said to have secured that contract to sell designer coal and that they plan to extract it from a mine in Nava.

From the first days of May to here, CFE has accelerated the assignments by direct award of these contracts, since it is urgent for them to have design coal to be able to operate the Nava thermoelectric plants, since they have exhausted the reserves they had from the last order that Micare supplied them.

The big problem is that there is no coal with these characteristics, and those who benefit from the contracts are desperate, because if they do not comply with the supply they will be sanctioned.

Who is going to watch that they deliver coal with the required specifications and do not trick with metallurgical coal or earth?

We must be attentive to the issue, and not only because of the characters involved in the new contracts, but also because if the coal supply fails, power generation will fail, and it will be in the months of greatest demand.

This columnist will take a vacation, and give readers a break, next week, resuming the publication of INDEX on Tuesday, July 6.
