Name by name, the lists down signatories that support to Xochitl Galvez already Claudia Sheinbaum They tested my abilities in “general culture” which I now expose to public shame.
Although there are artists, poets, novelists, essayists, professors, historians, former rectors, novelists, scientists, filmmakers and journalists, they are generally granted the condition of being “intellectuals and academics”.
By Xóchitl signed 276 and by Claudia 854.
In my 56 years as a reporter and many more as an avid reader, I recognize through his works or I personally know 55 in the first case already only 15 in the second (one in five and one in 60, respectively).
In order of appearance of the manifestos, how can we deny that Alberto Ruy Sánchez, Alma Maldonado, Ángeles Mastretta, Carlos Tello Díaz, Christopher Domínguez, Consuelo Sáizar, Delia Juárez, Enrique Krauze, Federico Reyes Heroles, Gabriel Zaid, Francisco Moreno, Gerardo Estrada , Gilberto Guevara Niebla, Héctor Aguilar Camín, Jaime Labastida, Xavier Velasco, and Roger Bartra and the other 38 that I identify are “intellectuals”?
And from the sheinbaumists such as Juan Ramón De la Fuente, Elena Poniatowska, David Kershenobich, Ifigenia Martínez, Rosaura Ruiz, Susana Harp, Javier Jiménez Espirú, Marta Lamas, Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller, Olga Sánchez Cordero, admirers of Venezuelan Chavismo such as Héctor Díaz Polanco and Even Lorenzo Meyer, I say the same.
To overcome my cultural deficiencies, I randomly Googled all the names I didn’t know.
Among those from Xóchitl, for example, I discovered that Alberto Pérez-Amador Adam is a full professor at the UAM Iztapalapa, a member of the National System of Researchers, former coordinator of the Medieval, Golden and Hispanic American Philology Line from the 16th to the 18th Centuries of the Postgraduate in Humanities and who has taught courses at UNAM and the universities of Wuppertal, Hamburg and Berlin, or who was co-translator into German of Sor Juana’s Primero Sueño and the complete poetry of José Gorostiza, César Vallejo and Xavier Villaurrutia. Lucky find.
Also at random, among those who support Sheinbaum, I looked for Laurent Gilles Herbiet-Santos: he is an environmental architect, one of six third places in the competition to select a proposal for the construction of a Thematic-Ethnobotanical Garden in the Second Section of the Chapultepec Forest . Dove.
In both lists I confirmed that the majority of my strangers have lost a modest academic activity.
What started to discourage me was finding an Aurora Miranda in pro Claudia because the only one who appeared to me was a Brazilian singer and actress from the 1930s who died at 90 in 2005.
My biggest surprise was knowing that Wilmer Manuel Monforte Marfil is the same successful Yucatecan rancher who registered in 2021 as a Morena candidate for the deputyship for the local X District, with headquarters in Tizimín.
The support of the “intellectuals”, then, like the old Bacardi advertisement, is not a matter of quantity but of quality…
