1 | Mèxic: la xarxa reacciona a la detenció de la líder sindical “La Maestra” | Powerful Union Leader “La Maestra” Arrested in Mexico |
2 | Elba Esther Gordillo Morales [es], pesidenta del Sindicat Nacional de Treballadors de l'Educació (SNTE) i polèmic personatge de l'escena política mexicana, va ser detinguda dimarts 26 de febrer de 2013 per blanqueig de diners. | Elba Esther Gordillo Morales, leader of the National Education Workers' Union (SNTE) and a controversial figure on the Mexican political scene, was arrested on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, on charges of money laundering. |
3 | Durant més de 20 anys, Gordillo, àlies “La Maestra”, ha estat al capdavant del SNTE, possiblement la unió de treballadors més gran de l'Amèrica Llatina. | For more than twenty years, Gordillo, or La Maestra [The Teacher], has led the SNTE, perhaps the largest labor union in Latin America. |
4 | “La Maestra” va fundar, a més, el partit polític de minoria anomenat Nueva Alianza, que en el procés electoral de l'any passat va proposar Gabriel Quadri de la Torre com a candidat a la presidència de la República. | La Maestra also founded the minority political party Nueva Alianza, which during last year's electoral process nominated Gabriel Quadri de la Torre as a presidential candidate. |
5 | A Gordillo se li imputa la presumpta comissió del delicte federal d'”operacions amb recursos de procedència il·lícita” -conegut habitualment com a blanqueig de diners. Està penat amb entre 5 i 15 anys de presó més la multa corresponent. | Gordillo has been charged with the federal offense of “transactions involving illegally obtained resources” - colloquially known as “money laundering” - which carries a sentence of five to fifteen years in prison, plus a fine. |
6 | La detenció va ser ordenada per l'autoritat jurisdiccional i va ser executada per l'Estat de Mèxic quan Gordillo arribava a l'aeroport en un vol privat provinent dels Estats Units. | Her arrest was ordered by the court and carried out in the State of Mexico when Gordillo arrived at the airport in a private plane coming from the United States. |
7 | La llei penal mexicana considera greu l'esmentat delicte i això comporta, principalment, que durant el judici, no se li pot concedir la llibertat condicional sota fiança. | This offense is taken seriously under Mexican penal law, and consequently the defendant will not be released on bail for the duration of the trial. |
8 | No es descarta que s'imputi a Gordillo la comissió d'altres delictes, com el de frau fiscal, o que se l'investigui i jutgi com a membre de la delinqüència organitzada, cosa que implicaria penes més severes. | It is possible that the commission will charge Gordillo with other crimes, including tax fraud, or that it might investigate and try her as a member of a criminal organization, which would mean a harsher sentence. |

21 | Que las encuestas la ponían en los últimos lugares de popularidad asociada con corrupción, cinismo. | The popularity rankings that placed her toward the bottom and associated her with corruption, cynicism. |
22 | Como había visto a Salinas, vio a Zedillo utilizar la fuerza del gobierno y la utilización de la PGR para borrar adversarios políticos pero no aprendió. | As she had seen with Salinas, she saw Zedillo use the force of the government and the Attorney General to remove political adversaries, but she didn't learn. |
