The popular Mexico Calderón, despite massive protests on its drug strategy

Mexico City - more than half of the Mexico approves of Presidency of Felipe Calderón, according to a new survey of public opinion, despite the appearance otherwise nationwide over the weekend protests calling for him to put an end to its strategy led by the military in the war against drugs.


Today, a day after tens of thousands demonstrators marched in the capital for peace and a new strategy against crime, the firm survey Buendia & Laredo has published a study showing President Calderón approval rating at 54 per cent - a little less in 2010, but not much.


Critics led by the military strategy Calderón to fight against drug trafficking, which took some 36,000 lives since it was inaugurated in December 2006, saying that their complaints have fallen more and more on deaf ear.


How know to the Mexico? Reply to our questionnaire.


But when specifically asked if the work of Calderón to the fight against drug trafficking was good or very good, 50 per cent of respondents have said that it was more than 46 per cent in November 2010. Commissioned by the Mexican newspaper El Universal, the survey reveals that the continuous public support Calderón emphasis on security, even if they disagreed with the manner in which it is being implemented, says firm Director Jorge Buendia.


"[A] must differentiate between ends and means", says Mr. Buendia. "The means, the strategy, people are not happy or are unhappy with it." He has translated in addition to violence, but the objective, they are very favourable. ?


And that, according to him, gives Calderón of the room to continue advancing in the conviction of her struggle, most analysts say it is unlikely to back down so that it is in position. Indeed, a day before peace mass March set out of Cuernavaca Thursday - including the culmination in Mexico City Sunday - Calderón went on the air to reiterate the need not to change policy but to redouble its efforts. "There is no option to withdraw from this fight", said the President.


At the same time, Buendia adds, the survey does not mean that Calderón may dismiss the protest weekend peace, archive growing sections of critical opinion and editorials or condemnation of academics, politicians and activists.


Javier Sicilia: Mexico can ' place of ruin


The most recent display of anger came Sunday at the end of the March of peace led by Javier Sicilia, a poet whose son was killed allegedly in the hands of drug in March.


"a€ new we have travelled and arrived here in silence, it's because our pain is so great and so profound and the horror that causes it is so huge, that there is no words to describe it," he said in a speech. "We always believe that it is possible for countries to revive and increase of the ruin and show the agents of death that the sons and daughters of this country are standing up".


Authorities have said that the younger Sicilia was not involved in the trafficking. While the Government has long maintained that the extreme majority of tens of thousands of drug-related homicides are drug traffickers themselves, many innocent victims have been killed, abducted and tortured.


Mr. Sicilia also demanded the eviction of Secretary of the Mexican public security Genaro Garcia Luna, considered the architect of the strategy of Calderón of deployment of tens of thousands of military and federal police across the country since December 2006. While the Government claims many successes, including arrests or killings of at least 20 leaders of drug since 2009, many observers believe that the fragmentation of the groups has led in turn to more violence.


When Calderón took office, beheadings made front page. In an atmosphere of violence today, decapitations shock barely more. Instead, more grim news dominated headlines, including organizations from tombs in the North of the Mexico, many apparently innocent migrants en route to the United States.


Protests raise calls for debate


Public safety became major concerns of Mexicans, before the economy--a trend that has grown since November of last year, the new survey Buendia & Laredo.


Although no one expects Calderón to change its strategy - especially with public support in the United States, where he is visiting this week - many hope the March Sunday, will stimulate more discussion.


"Calderón options gave were simplistic: you press the strategy or you ask for the transfer of the State," analyst Jose Antonio Crespo wrote in El Universal, which learned opinions as to what it come after peace March. "."It is more complicated. I hope that after the March discussions, forums, ideas, and continue to steps more. ?
