The coalition defeat center-right/ultra-right was sung from the beginning because the figure, the speech, the selective alliances and the political profile of the PAN candidate Xóchitl Gálvez Ruiz was placed in the very defined and narrow ideological space of the conservatismwithout understanding the social configuration of society and its well-being needs.
Xochitl she buried her chances when she allowed former PAN president Vicente Fox Quesada to say that she was going to liquidate the social programs because they only benefited “the lads” and the nail in her political coffin was hammered with a campaign slogan that excluded social reality: “ truth, freedom and life”, by the way with a speech that dazzled the self-convened and self-defined intellectuals on the ideological right Héctor Aguilar Camín, Roger Bartra and Enrique Krauze.
The López Obrador candidate Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo He did not fall into the ideological trap and campaigned based on a social reality that energizes electoral preferences: 80% of Mexicans suffer from one to five social restrictions, 60% of the economically active population is located in the informal sector and Society was crying out for a model that would break the neoliberal ceiling of 2% of average annual GDP.
The opposition coalitiondefined, financed, operated, conducted and controlled by the entrepreneur Claudio X. González He was more concerned with configuring a small hegemonic bloc of the right-ultra-right and ideological arc of the country and did not know how to take advantage of the precarious, decreasing and diminished popular social bases of the PRI and the PRD and the middle classes of the PAN. The pink tide marches presented the social bases of the coalition of the PRIANREDEwhile the traditional corporate groups of the PRI, the PAN and the PRD gradually moved into the political, ideological and electoral space of Morena and the social discourse of President López Obrador.
Since he took the lead of his social movement in 2000, Lopez Obrador It was always very clear that your priority was the social mass affected by the economic crisis of the populism of Echeverría and López Portillo and then mercilessly knocked upside down by the process of neoliberalization of the economy led by presidents Miguel de la Madrid, Carlos Salinas de Gortari and Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de León and through the administration of the continuity of the neoliberal model through the Treasury Secretariats of Fox, Felipe Calderón and Enrique Peña Nieto.
President López Obrador He opened his political-electoral letters with the popular tone of his mornings, with the great political victory of giving him constitutional status with the support of the opposition for the social welfare policy and with maintaining the political-ideological flag of “the poor first” that the opposition candidate Gálvez Ruiz wanted to appropriate without political sense.
Faced with the simplicity of social-popular discourse, Xochitl became entangled with the campaign slogan of “Strength and Heart for Mexico” and with the speech that only dazzled Aguilar Camín and Krauze about the conservative values of the Mexican social elite of “life, truth and freedom”, while the official candidate Sheinbaum Pardo promoted in all its dimensions the overwhelming social discourse of President López Obrador.
The ideological racism of the right became very clear in one of the pink tide marches when a militant – by the way, more from the marginalized lower class than the upper middle class – shouted with resentment that we had to defeat the “idiotic Indian” who governed Mexico. The PRI, the PAN and the PRD as host parties of the opposition candidate Gálvez Ruiz never worried about converting that middle class in full panic of declassification into militants of those parties to guarantee their social potential at the time of the most partisan expressions. that they simply remained and narrow in the social explosion of marches that made the resentment last a couple of hours.
Despite the need to present a power bloc, the opposition coalition was left worn out in alliances that only saw each other in the street marches and did not convert this non-partisan social activism into electoral potential in favor of the parties when it came to show up to vote at the polls.
And because of how things turned out early on Tuesday, the opposition coalition dissolved in the search for blame between the candidate and her sponsoring parties.
