A few days ago, the morning served to shore up the epic of Andrés Manuel López Obrador and how he has successfully faced a international conspiracy. Since the beginning of this year, said presidential propaganda spokesperson Elizabeth Vilchis, there has been an unprecedented campaign against Lopez Obrador, which has been subjected to “the largest digital offensive on record.” International media began “one of the largest campaigns of lies against a progressive government,” and millions of publications appeared against the president of Mexico for months to label it as “narcopresident”. But nothing and no one could stop him. The Cid Campeador of Macuspana emerged without his plumage being stained.
Although the epic narrative is hilarious, there is some truth behind the National Palace’s complaint, which explains why they carry months of being trapped in the theme that is synthesized in the label in social networks of “narcopresident”.
Four international media published statements from the protected witnesses by which the former Secretary of Security, Genaro García Lunawas found guilty of receiving money from the Sinaloa Cartel, who claimed that organized crime financed two presidential campaigns of Lopez Obrador.
One of those media revealed that USA has been detected Money transfers of Culiacan to the presidential environmentshortly after López Obrador shook the hand of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán’s mother; That is, it is not a saying, but the trace of suspicious money that could serve as evidence In an eventual case that comes to courts in the United States.
The “last salvo against the Mexican government and trying to general perception of unsafety and linking the president to organized crime“Vilchis specified, it was in May, “the month of the attack.”
He was referring to a report published by the Financial Times where it states that insecurity threatens Mexico, followed by an analysis in the weekly The Economist that mentions the role of cartels in Mexico, with emphasis on Chiapas. From there came a front page in The New York Times, along the same lines as what was reported by the London financial newspaper. The presidential propaganda team forgot one in The Washington Post about the control of the cartels over the family economy presented in a quarter of its cover, nor did they see another in The Guardian along the lines of their influence in the elections. They also failed to record that the next day the Los Angeles Times published on its front page how electoral violence has grown.
Vilchis, repeating the words of López Obrador and his eulogists, said that it was a “soft coup”, which is the use of non-violence as a political weapon, which uses psychological, social, political and economic resources. The president has used that theory since February 2022 to hide inefficiencies, conflicts of interest, acts of corruption in his family and government, and as damage control. At that time the world had not paid attention to what was brewing in Mexico, but now, on the eve of the presidential election, the foreign media seem to have woken up.
What the spokesperson for the presidential spokesman, Jesús Ramírez Cuevas, called a campaign against the president, collided with reality. The same day that Vilchis denounced the international conspiracy against López Obrador, José Alfredo Cabrera, PRI-PAN-PRD coalition candidate to the mayor of Coyuca de Beníteza municipality adjacent to Acapulcowas killed with a shot to the head. Cabrera joined the list of 82 people murdered in the current electoral process, according to the Electoral Laboratory record. What took him away from the citizen normalization of violence in Mexico was that it was recorded one meter away in the right moment of execution.
The bullet that killed him was apparently from a Glock semi-automatic pistol, used by many police forces in the world due to its effectiveness, and is one of the seven that the Secretariat of National Defense allows anyone to acquire for their personal defense. Cabrera, who had already suffered an attack, had a National Guard escort, who could not prevent him from being murdered, but they killed – instead of arresting – his attacker. The cold and unpunished moment of the shooting reminded many of the scene in which Luis Donaldo Colosio was murdered 30 years ago, which once again reminded us how vulnerable we are.
Until Tuesday, 553 federal candidates and seven electoral officials had federal protection and more than a thousand had state protection, which only served to inhibit, because as Cabrera’s case shows, when someone is willing to change their life for that of another, it is practically impossible to stop. López Obrador assures that the elections will be the cleanest and freest in history, a statement that insults intelligence, because they are not clean and neither are they free.
The National Electoral Institute was unable to set up 104 polling stations in six states, and 808 are at risk of not being able to receive votes on Sunday. Morena president Mario Delgado is being investigated in Mexico and the United States for alleged illicit enrichment by organized crime, which allegedly financed campaigns for governor in 2021, in addition to transferring resources to candidates, legislators and officials of López Obrador’s government. Another politician, union leader Pedro Haces, linked to Delgado’s network and very close to Senator Ricardo Monreal, is accused in the United States, but his offer of 11 million votes on Sunday for Sheinbaum was accepted by López Obrador.
What do they talk about in the National Palace?
What is really suspicious about the foreign press is that they barely noticed the phenomenon. His publications on the same topic will make the American and European foreign ministries take note, which is what López Obrador should do, who, far from being a victim of a global conspiracy, will have to be held accountable for the bloodbath he tolerated in Mexico, accepting that the cartels became a parallel power.
