They ignore that the human being is the only one that travels in time. Florestan.
On Thursday, May 3, 2018, when Andrés Manuel López Obrador was the presidential candidate of the Together We Will Make History coalition, he attended the program Tercer Grado, on Televisa.
In my turn, I reminded him that as head of government of the then Federal District (2000-05) he had resorted to the factions and that if that, the faction, and the popular consultation, would be his government tool to win the presidency,
And he responded by accepting, yes, that he governed through factions because it was necessary to bring order and he did not have a majority in the local congress and that is why he was calling to vote online to have it in the Congress of the Union and not resort to those shortcuts executives. And he also confirmed the popular referendum to resolve problems and that it would be after three years, not every two as he had said, the revocation of the mandate.
The rest of the story is known. He swept the elections in July of that year, with a majority in the Legislative Assembly and as president-elect, he used the consultation to cancel the Texcoco airport, which he would later replace with the Felipe Ángeles, the Tijuana brewery, the Cuautla hydroelectric plant and the same revocation of mandate. He won everything.
When in the federal elections of 2021 he lost the qualified majority in the Chamber of Deputies, he never had it in the Senate, he resorted to decrees, such as the declaration of national security for all his works, now that of the National Guard, which he will present as an initiative preferential.
So there is no surprise.
He advanced it then, he fulfills it today: the decree as a method of government to reform what has to be reformed, even if it is the Constitution that he promised to keep and keep.
PATCHWORK
- PREFERENTIAL.- Adán Augusto López Hernández revealed yesterday in the plenary of the deputies of Morena, that the president will send as a preferential initiative, on September 1, the administrative transfer of the National Guard to SEDENA. In other words, by December they will have to approve or reject it, not file it. And it is simple majority;
- BIRTHDAY.- What a mistake by the Secretary of Labor, Luisa María Alcalde Luján, who had her birthday on Wednesday and could not think of anything else but to celebrate it on her networks with balloons and laughter, when in the 22 days of the collapse of the Sabinas mine, Coahuila, has not stopped there and ten miners have remained trapped since then. It is the lack of sensitivity, of empathy, in the stellar times of the 4-T;
- PREVIOUS.- Well, President López Obrador has already taken pressure off his message of September 16 by confirming that Mexico will not leave the T-MEC, that it could be brought forward, but he has already made it clear. This followed a statement by Ambassador Ken Salazar, the day before, to the effect that the energy debate in the USMCA is holding back US investment in Mexico.
See you on Tuesday, but privately.
