By inertia, whitout perceiving the negative effects on the image of the inhabitants in the Estado de México, the news media, fed informatively by INEGI (National Institute of statistics and geography), when the levels of corruption in the country are disseminated, states are mentioned, not governments, as it should be. The government of the Estado de México invariably appears as the most corrupt among all federal entities, but non-specific information that is about state and municipal authorities, in a serious omission that damages the image of a population close to 17.5 million people.

The INEGI is a state body, with constitutional autonomy, free from suspicion of biased actions to affect this or that institution. Its methodology in the measurement of unemployment is questioned, but no one atributes its bad faith, so that his information on the levels of corruption of the authorities of the Estado de México must be taken into account and concern institution and society.

There is no discussion about this, but there is respect to the way in which the results on the levels of corruption of the state and municipal governments are presented. It´s convenient to change it, to differentiate the dishonesty of the local authorities of the population. The phenomenon is located in the institutions and its perpetrators are public servants of all levels.

In these circumstances, it is unfair and pernicious for the almost 17 million 500 thousand inhabitants of the Estado de México, that when talking about this as the most corrupt of the country, they are included as part of those who commit corruption, which obviously does not respond to reality.

The cruel paradox is that those who are precisely victims of corrupt acts by the authorities, they are presented as corrupt. This situation is not a minor problem, and the news, but mainly INEGI must present, disseminate and attribute corruption rates to state and municipal governments, not to federal entities.

The authorities are not the population. They can govern them well or badly at a certain moment, because we must not forget that they´re temporary, but their mistakes and vices, such as corruption, should not be put on their communities, as happen now with the Estado de México because of the way INEGI presents its incidence in the subject.

It must be clear that the Estado de México is not the most corrupt of Mexico, but the dishonest officials of its institutions. They participate in this phenomenon in governments, individuals, with relationships and complicities of the former, But they constitute an insignificant minority of the population.

The inhabitants of the Estado de México are the directly victims of corruption, not its authors since for that phenomenon they receive excessively expensive public works, of bad quality, extortions are suffered, offenses of criminals protected from the public power , precisely, by acts of corruption of the authorities, that is, of the government. This should be clear.
