Nuevo Paradigma para el VIH en México

Carta Pública | Ciudad de México, 7 de mayo de 2019.

A la opinión pública,

A las autoridades,

A personas que viven con VIH-sida, familiares y amigos:

El gobierno de México ha tomado la decisión de implementar nuevos mecanismos administrativos en la compra de antirretrovirales de calidad, apoyándose de una propuesta presentada el pasado 26 de abril de 2019 por un grupo de expertos médicos en materia de VIH-sida de la Secretaría de Salud, acompañados de Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil y activistas.

Por ello, quienes suscribimos esta carta también consideramos indispensable renovar las estrategias del Programa Nacional para la Prevención y el Control del VIH-sida, con el propósito de garantizar no sólo el acceso universal al tratamiento de la infección por Virus de Inmunodeficiencia Humana sino, también, la optimización de costos y la simplificación de los esquemas de tratamiento.

El fin del sida como epidemia, es un objetivo factible, pero será imposible si México pierde la oportunidad de tomar medidas necesarias, e incluso radicales, para hacer de los antirretrovirales una herramienta efectiva, terapéutica y preventiva, que permita frenar la epidemia. Pero hay que hacerlo con medidas concretas a través de la compra de los mejores antirretrovirales actualmente disponibles en México, además de simplificar los tratamientos de acuerdo a las guías nacionales e internacionales y a las evidencias científicas disponibles. México siempre ha comprado los medicamentos antirretrovirales al precio más elevado entre los países de América Latina. Tan sólo el año pasado se erogaron más de 3 mil millones de pesos y cada año se presentan nuevos casos de transmisiones de VIH en el país. Con el cambio instrumentado se podrá atender a más pacientes, a nuevos casos y con el mismo presupuesto. Por eso es momento de apoyar el cambio de rumbo propuesto y seguir exigiendo el fortalecimiento de los mejores esquemas de prevención.

El sistema de salud en México está obligado a responder a las necesidades de la población con VIH, de sus familiares y parejas, atendiendo el interés público. Definitivamente es necesario un ajuste para simplificar medidas y criterios clínicos, con el propósito de ofrecer los mejores tratamientos antirretrovirales disponibles a los casi 100 mil pacientes atendidos por la Secretaría de Salud en todo el país. Es momento de apoyar este cambio de paradigma en la atención de VIH-sida en México.

Lo anterior significa:

Reducir esquemas de tratamientos, manteniendo la eficacia y disminuyendo los efectos adversos e interacciones farmacológicas,

Depurar claves de medicamentos obsoletos,

Supervisión individual de casos específicos y,

Garantizar un mejor monitoreo y seguimiento clínico de las y los usuarios en los servicios especializados.

Para que ofrezcan resultados, las medidas necesitan aplicarse en el inicio del tratamiento antirretroviral, en la mejora de los tratamientos existentes; pero también en la revisión a detalle de los pacientes que reciben esquemas muy específicos a consecuencia del tiempo de tratamiento, de las resistencias presentadas y otros factores de riesgo para su salud.

Para concretar la propuesta de simplificación es necesario atender la opinión de los expertos clínicos de la Secretaría de Salud, fortalecer la capacidad de atención integral y con ello cumplir las metas de poner alto al sida en 2030, como propone el Programa Conjunto de las Naciones Unidas (ONUSIDA).

La salud de las personas por encima de todo. Por eso #NuevoParadigmaVIHMx

‘You can’t appease tyrants and bullies’: Mexican candidates take hard line on Trump

By Joshua Partlow, Washington Post, May 21, 2018

MEXICO CITY--The four candidates to be president of Mexico called each other liars and hypocrites. They slung demeaning nicknames. They lobbed accusations about each other’s alleged corruption and pampered families.

But if there was one thing that the candidates agreed on in a debate Sunday night, it was President Trump.

The candidates charted a similar course: Each said he would demand respect from Trump, who has called for a giant border wall, accused Mexico of doing little about illegal migration and demanded a renegotiation of NAFTA. At the same time, the candidates all said they wanted a positive relationship with the United States.

Trump looms over this election in a way that has few parallels in recent U.S.-Mexico history. Much of Sunday night’s debate, the second of three before the July 1 vote, probed how the candidates would respond to what one of the moderators described as the “Trumpian threat.”

Still, analysts predict that Trump may not end up being a defining issue in the election or one that separates the candidates.

“They all say the same thing: No one likes Trump’s discourse, but the United States is a neighboring country and you have to negotiate with its government,” said Raul Benitez Manaut, an expert on U.S.-Mexico relations at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. “Nobody wants a fight with Donald Trump.”

Trump was the backdrop to the two-hour debate in Tijuana, which focused on trade, migration and cross-border security issues.

The most fiery response to Trump’s policies came from Ricardo Anaya, 39, who is the candidate of a coalition of left- and right-leaning parties. He has established himself as López Obrador’s main challenger, polling ahead of José Antonio Meade, the candidate of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party.

“You can’t appease tyrants and bullies. You have to confront them,” Anaya said.

Meade, the former finance and foreign minister, promised to defend Mexico’s dignity.

“I’m not going to permit, under any circumstances, that they fail to show us respect,” he said. “Never.”

But these candidates offered little detail about what a new Mexican strategy might look like. There is widespread agreement among the candidates--including López Obrador, considered the most protectionist--about the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and all want the current negotiations to lead to a new version of the pact.

“The proposals were vague, the candidates were elusive in their answers,” said Jorge Chabat, a professor of international relations at CIDE, a research university in Mexico City. “It seems like no one had a very clear idea what to do with the United States.”

Trump is deeply unpopular in Mexico and his policies could have a powerful impact on the country, given that the United States is its No. 1 trading partner. But so far, the Mexican presidential campaign has been dominated by domestic issues like corruption and slow economic growth.

López Obrador, 64, who has lost two elections, vows to clean up corruption and pay more attention to Mexico’s rural poor. He has maintained a strong advantage in recent polls, leading by as much as 20 points. His candidacy has worried some in Mexico’s business community who are concerned that he might roll back recent changes, including the opening of Mexico’s oil industry to private investment.

López Obrador has a reputation as a forceful and combative speaker, but during the campaign he has focused his ire almost entirely on Mexico’s ruling elite, which he considers a corrupt and insular “mafia” that does not govern for the poor.

PAN RECHAZA A FISCAL GENERAL, PERO IMPUSO A CARRANCA EN PUEBLA Siguiendo con las ironías y contradicciones de la política, no podemos pasar por alto lo que sucede en el interior del PAN, el cual por el tema de la designación y pase automático de Raul Cervantes actual procurador general de la república del cual se busca se nombre Fiscal General de la Republica ha generado dimes y diretes entre la cúpula del panista Ricardo Anaya y los legisladores panistas de Puebla abanderados por el MorenoVallismo y Javier Lozano, al punto que hasta adjetivos como traidores, esquiroles y oportunistas políticos han surgido tras dicho percance de apoyo y decisión partidista.

How Former Mexican President Vicente Fox Went From Drug Tsar To Legalization Trailblazer

Stephen Woodman of Herb Reports:

During his six years in office, Vicente Fox oversaw aggressive efforts to destroy marijuana crops in the Mexican countryside. Now, he’s become one of the most important voices for legalization in North America.

The tiny Mexican village of San Cristóbal is not somewhere you would immediately associate with North America’s cannabis revolution. Smoking weed is still illegal there and there are no headshops in town, just a sleepy plaza ringed by narrow, cobblestone streets.

But the most recognizable of the town’s 3,000 residents—Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico—has recently become one of the continent’s highest-profile cannabis legalization advocates.

Last month, Fox hosted the CannaMexico World Summit at his family’s San Cristóbal ranch, a two-day conference designed to promote legalization and fuel the growth of a Mexican marijuana industry. Fox also uses the complex to meet with journalists, arguing that Mexico’s spiraling violence warrants a new strategy that takes cannabis out of the hands of criminals. He believes that continental cannabis legalization could create a dynamic new industry, delivering jobs and profits on both sides of the border.

“It’s absolutely contradictory that the United States legalizes and Mexico still has prohibition,” Fox told Herb at a recent visit to his ranch. “We have to join in with new trends in the world. Mexico has to be on the vanguard.”

A former Coca-Cola boss, Fox is best known for ending 71 years of one-party rule with his election in 2000. Nevertheless, as president, he failed to deliver on his ambitious economic promises.

Freed from the constraints of elected office, Fox now provokes change from outside the corridors of power. Even his clothing reflects this: the trademark navy suit is gone, replaced today with a bright yellow button-up, blue chinos and running shoes.

Yet despite this more relaxed role, Fox is clearly keen to retain influence. In 2007, the year after he left office, he opened a presidential library on his San Cristóbal ranch. Portraits of the former leader are mounted on walls throughout the lavish complex and the basement library displays gifts offered by various world leaders, including a riding saddle he received from former U.S. president George W. Bush.

Much has changed about his stance on cannabis—and drugs in general—since he was president. Throughout his six-year term, Fox oversaw aggressive efforts to destroy marijuana crops in the Mexican countryside as part of his commitment to fight the drug trade.

JUAREZ, MEXICO – MARCH 20: A man lays dead in the street after being shot on March 20, 2010 in Juarez, Mexico. The border city of Juarez has been racked by violent drug-related crime recently and has quickly become one of the most dangerous cities in the world. As drug cartels have been fighting over ever lucrative drug corridors along the United States border, the murder rate in Juarez has risen to 173 slayings for every 100,000 residents. President Felipe Calderón in 2009 disbanded the corrupt local police force and sent 10,000 soldiers to Juarez, but the violence has raged on. With a population of 1.3 million in Juarez, 2,600 died in drug-related violence last year and 500 so far this year, including two Americans who worked for the U.S. Consulate last weekend as they returned from a children’s party. (Photo by Spencer Platt via Getty Images)

Today, Fox says his opinion on legalization has changed because crime levels tied to the drug trade have gone up. There were 11,806 murders across the country during Fox’s last year in office, compared to 21,459 homicides during his successor Felipe Calderón’s final year.

There is no way to isolate the impact of marijuana prohibition on this death toll, but we do know that the criminalization of any drug typically fuels violence. And although official figures do not signal which are cartel-related deaths, one study estimates that organized crime was to blame for more than half of the murders during Calderón’s term.

In response to the growing homicides, Calderón deployed thousands of soldiers against the cartels and targeted major kingpins, something which Fox describes as a “terrible historical mistake” because it stoked the violence by splintering large trafficking gangs into dozens of smaller, competing factions.

Current Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has continued this militarized strategy. And based on the numbers documented for the first four months of 2018, Mexico looks set to record more than 31,000 murder victims for Peña Nieto’s final year in office.

Consequently, since leaving power, Fox has joined other former Latin American presidents in denouncing prohibition. His Mexican predecessor Ernesto Zedillo, former Colombian president César Gaviria and former Brazilian head Fernando Cardoso have also called for the decriminalization and regulation of drugs, including cannabis.

In the case of Fox, however, it’s difficult to say how much he genuinely had a change of heart. His former position on drugs—including cannabis—was undoubtedly in part motivated by politics. Despite the slow but steady relaxation of cannabis prohibition laws, a majority of Mexicans are still opposed to legalization, with only 29 percent in favor, according to a survey by the polling firm Parametría.

“I wish they [the former presidents calling for legalization] hadn’t waited,” says Raul Elizalde, an activist who won a Supreme Court ruling for his epileptic daughter to use medical cannabis in 2015. “Why don’t they support it when they’re in power? Maybe they lacked the courage, but at least they are doing it now.”

It is still against the law to sell recreational cannabis in Mexico, as it is everywhere in Latin America except Uruguay, which became the first country in the world to fully legalize in 2013. Nevertheless, Mexico began gradually liberalizing its cannabis laws in 2009, when the government decriminalized the possession of small amounts of drugs. In 2015, the Supreme Court granted four legalization advocates the right to grow and consume their own marijuana.

“The ruling was historic,” says Juan Francisco Torres-Landa, a lawyer and one of the four plaintiffs. “Our main purpose was to make sure this topic was on the agenda, and that has been the case ever since.”

Mexico’s Supreme Court granted another individual the right to grow cannabis for personal consumption in April. And last year, the government legalized the sale of some marijuana-based medicines.

The topic has proved so divisive, however, that the leading presidential candidate, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has barely mentioned it in the run-up to the elections in July. His closest rival in the polls, the right-left coalition candidate Ricardo Anaya, has remained ambivalent, saying he is open to debate but that drug legalization would not resolve Mexico’s security problems.

“While they are campaigning they don’t want to speak about this issue,” Fox says. “They think that it’s negative for voters.”

Nevertheless, support for reform has risen from just seven percent recorded by Parametría in 2008, suggesting attitudes have shifted as Mexicans have watched Uruguay—as well as nine U.S. states and Washington D.C.—opt for legalization.

Consumption has also risen steadily in recent years. As of 2016, 8.6 percent of the population had tried cannabis compared to 4.2 percent in 2008, according to Mexico’s National Addiction Survey.

Fox says he has never used cannabis himself, although he is open to trying it in the future.

“When I go to a speaking conference I have a tequila or a glass of wine before,” he says. “It puts you in a much better mood…This is what you can get out of marijuana.”

Fox would like to see a robust continental cannabis market as the plant is incorporated into the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), allowing Mexican farmers to grow weed for their northern neighbors. Last year, he projected Mexico could eventually produce up to 60 percent of legal cannabis consumed in the United States.

His family has farmed in Guanajuato for five generations and he would happily grow the plant in the future.

“We are always open to diversification,” Fox says, but the “first step is it has to be legal.”

Nevertheless, he concedes that Donald Trump’s rise to power represents a challenge to this aspiration. It’s difficult, he says, to advance legalization with “an ignorant president” heading the U.S. government.

Fox believes a thriving cannabis industry in Mexico would provide economic opportunities for those currently operating outside of the law, including small-scale farmers who have little option but to grow weed for cartels.

He concedes that criminal groups in Mexico could turn to kidnapping, extortion and other crimes that more directly impact law-abiding citizens if continental cannabis legalization triggered a curb in profits. Yet in the long term, he argues that cutting the supply of money from the U.S. market is the only way to disempower criminals.

Cartels “are very active on many fronts,” Fox says, but “the easiest way” for them to make money is through drugs.

The authorization of marijuana sales in the United States has already had an impact on cartels and cartel-related violence. Last year, U.S. Border Patrol seized less than 900,000 pounds of marijuana, compared to more than 2.4 million pounds in 2013, the year before retail pot shops began opening in the United States. To make up for the shortfall, cartels have turned to importing more potent drugs such as heroin and methamphetamine.

Fox would like to see these drugs legalized eventually as well, although he argues that full legalization of weed alone could offer drug traffickers the opportunity to move out of the shadows.

“With a new culture, a new way of thinking, all those criminals for the first time have options,” Fox says. “We can move out of criminalization—with death, blood on the streets, underground activities—into a new industry. That’s a real change.”

Cantar las cuarenta

Don Damaso

Par de Ases: Excelente mancuerna política que se encamina al triunfo el 1 de julio y para beneficio de todos los metepequenses es la que integran Carolina Monroy para Alcaldesa y Miguel Ángel Terrón para Diputado Local. Además, es importante resaltar que la experiencia y sensibilidad política de Caro, debe aprovecharse para que tome el liderazgo para el rescate de la zona metropolitana del Valle de Toluca.

Ocho negro: Cada día “Tolucaos” se consolida como la ciudad más hostil del Edomex, solo superada por Ecatepec, y no únicamente por la inseguridad y el caos vial gracias al transporte público, sino también por la belicosidad de los conductores de vehículos particulares, la incivilidad de algunos peatones y ciclistas. Es frecuente ver “cerrones”, riñas entre manejadores... aquella caballerosidad al conducir característico de los toluqueños de los setentas ya pasó a la historia. ¿Acaso no vendría bien una campaña de reconciliación entre los nativos y quienes han escogido a Toluca para vivir?

As de oros: Magno reto al tamaño de su estatura física y política es el que tiene Arturo Martínez Alfaro quien bajo el hashtag #amahuixquilucan busca arrebatarle este importante y estratégico municipio al PAN. Sabe que es la tierra adoptiva del Gobernador Del Mazo y que al igual que Atlacomulco, tienen un gran simbolismo político y ancestral.

Blofeando: Mientras en Huixquilucan la clase política viene cerrando filas en torno a sus candidatos; en Atlacomulco, nunca falta un “prietito en el arroz”, Fidel Almanza anda de travieso complicándole la elección a Joel Huitrón y todo porque no lo hicieron parte del gabinete estatal. Es de esperarse que el liderazgo político y moral tanto de Héctor Velasco, como de su prima Marcela Velasco, impidan que Fidel se salga con la suya.

Barajeando: La más prestigiada escuela de negocios en México y en Latinoamérica y una de las 20 más reconocidas en el mundo que es el IPADE, dio a conocer el pasado 22 de mayo un estudio que tituló: Factores coyunturales a considerar en la contienda electoral 2018, las reflexiones finales con las que concluye no tienen desperdicio, ahí les van:

• “En ocasiones, cuando los vicios estructurales se entrelazan y perduran (corrupción, impunidad, inseguridad, estancamiento económico, falta de oportunidades, asimetrías de riqueza, etc), se genera la percepción de que ya hemos tocado fondo, cuando siempre hay la posibilidad de caer más.

• La sociedad enojada elige a quien administra su ira, no a quien resuelve sus problemas.

• Anaya entiende bien al mundo pero mal a México, AMLO mal al mundo pero bien a México (Raul Zepeda).

• Las historias y los recuerdos se confunden y las personas no necesariamente distinguen entre la fantasía y la realidad en su decisión del voto.

• Es nuestra obligación promover que la gente vote, que evidencie su compromiso aunque no lo transparente; el que no vota hoy no se responsabilizará mañana y, no necesitamos ciudadanos de un día, la nueva historia de México apenas comienza...”

Como veo doy: Los fenómenos sociales que emergen en la red tienen un potencial transformador. En México, estamos por enfrentar un proceso electoral inédito y los resultados que arroje estarán muy distantes de lo que hasta hoy dictan las encuestas. Esta hipótesis la sustento en un coctel molotov que probaremos hasta pasado el 1 de julio. Ese coctel tendrá como ingredientes fundamentales a los jóvenes que emitirán su voto por primera ocasión, armados con su arma más poderosa e inseparable...su Smartphone. De la calidad de su educación, del nivel cultural y de la conciencia ética (algo que se antoja difícil a esa edad) dependerá la capacidad para impulsarnos hacia el progreso o para estrellarnos contra un muro.

Los famosos “millennials” se encaminan al futuro de manera acelerada. Mientras que, desde la época de los romanos, los proyectos políticos tenían como horizonte la historia de la humanidad, ya para el siglo XX los proyectos se trazaban en función del nuevo milenio y ahora en pleno siglo XXI la lógica de la aceleración ha impuesto en un mundo cada vez más globalizado una política cortoplacista. Si hoy se quiere algo, mañana se quiere otra cosa.

Intentar convertir el próximo proceso electoral en una picota que sirva de catarsis momentáneo, nos puede llevar a un acontecimiento tal y como lo define Slavoj Zizek: “es algo traumático, perturbador, que parece suceder de repente y que interrumpe el curso normal de las cosas.” No perdamos el contexto y abonemos para que las elecciones sean un instante en la vida democrática que permita seguir avanzando en los retos de todos los mexicanos.
