38 year old Bernardo Gomez Martinez is the Executive Vice-President of Grupo Televisa and Emilio Azcárraga Jean’s closest and most important advisor. Overseeing the news department, he has full authority overall content, newscasts, political satire, and anchors. Vice President of news Leopoldo Gomez reports to him. Mr Gomez Martinez is also in charge of Government relations where he deals directly with the President and the first Lady, he handles affairs with the legislative branch and has been Televisa’s only liaison with the past two presidential campaigns, successfully securing the company’s interests.
Until recently, Gomez was president of the Mexican national chamber of radio and television industry where he headed the repeal of several regulations enacted during the 60’s that restricted the liberty of electronic media. Sophisticated, the soft spoken EVP is a highly regarded intellectual and political analyst among Mexico’s business elite. His close bond with Azcárraga who is his closest friend; goes back to childhood and although Azcarraga’s father didn't approve of their relationship, as soon as he passed away, Emilio Jr, brought him in to the company were he has surpassed expectations.
However, many are mystified by their relationship, unable to explain the many attributions and liberties that El Tigrillo grants to Gomez which range from harmless excesses with the company’s funds and assets to more serious responsibilities. Mexico’s weekly magazine Proceso, has written extensively about the executive with a clear intention of a smear campaign against him. But, his true friends like Eduardo Medina Mora, a high government official, former director of CISEN (Mexico’s intelligence service) and now Secretary of Security trusts him and deny any allegations of misconduct. Mr Medina Mora visits the offices of Televisa frequently and is expected to join their ranks as soon as President Fox’s leaves government. Within Televisa, he works closely with Alejandro Quintero, a board member and group Vice President of sales.
Aku Zoku Zan
Kill Evil Instantly is what it roughly translates into plain English. It is a motto that united soldiers in late 19th century Japan, during the Meiji Revolution period.
Though some may consider such a "law" an extreme measure, those who followed it did so religiously. Believing that no matter what side they fought for, that as long as they upheld Aku Zoku Zan, they would accomplish their mission.
In Fiction
Aku Zoku Zan is used in the anime Rurouni Kenshin. It is the 'brand of justice' that becomes Hajime Saito's trademark and that he upholds to an absolute power. Though Hajime Saito pronounces it "Ak Zok Zan", it is a mispell of Aku Zoku Zan. He believes that anyone guilty of corruption, or those that would bring harm to the people of Japan and the nation itself, should be slain. With his trusty katana, whom he says that even without a name it has saved countless times and he trusts its above all, and Shinsengumi's Gatotsu, he is more than ready to deliver, as shown with Uonoma Usui, of the Juppongatana.
