ABSTRACT

This essay is a reflection about the injustice as a form of violence not recognized by official legislation, and which is added to the environment of insecurity, delinquency and fear we live in the Mexico of our days. This violence arises from the indifference or premeditated abuse on the exercise of power, generating a social condition with a lack of hope and self-determination. The starting point of this analysis is based on some governmental characteristics of the period 2006-2012, which have added and perpetuated forms of domination and control of a public order sustained in inequity, marginalization and the factual absence of the rule of law. Questioning the role that play the ones entrusted to protect the social security in terms of delinquency, justice and legality, the unidirectional use of the power, distinguishes itself as a key factor in the determination of the criteria that legitimize and define the mentioned forms of violence. Against the injustice, which is not explicitly recognized as an act of violence, an alternative is proposed: implement a personal attitude change added to a collectivity, which assign weight to the horizontal, responsible, promising and inviolable exercise of civil actions, against the impositions that annul the popular will.
