Mexican legislators open the door to genetic privatisation

During the media screen generated by the presidential succesion, on the 27th of April the Mexican Senator opened the door to the privatisation of genetic resources by means of the unanimous approval of the "Initiative of federal law for access and exploitation of biological and genetic resources", which will no doubt gravely affect, amongst other things, the food sovereignty of Mexico, as in the case of corn which has already been contaminated from its center of origin.



This is a legal proposal originally presented by senator Jorge Nordhausen of the far-right and governing Partido Accion Nacional (PAN) party in 2001 and was suspended in 2004. Amongst his "motives" Nordhausen put forward that: (...) For living beings and their derivatives to be transformed into resources with economic and social value, the constant contribution of relevant knowledge is necessary.



This initiative was approved at the "last minute", as is common for mexican legislators before the end of their legislative period.

Why don't they "open the door" to bringing their citizens back from the US?

This action is DIRECTLY linked to CAFTA & FTAA!!

They've opened the doors ALL THE WAY for American Monopolies to scoop up Mexican holdings. We know that Mexican power brokers HAVE TO BE GAINING more dollars than can be imagined!!

Open borders, free flow of OTHER THAN AMERICANS and Goliaths controling Mexican holdings.

I really hate people who picture Minuteman as very violent people with guns. That is an ugly loaded insult here.

As for that article. I can't tell if it's true or not.
