The next Tuesday will be the investment of the President of the Republic, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. She will be the first female president of Mexico and will govern for all Mexican women and men. Its quality of scientific It will be very important for his role as ruler of the country. The analytical capacity that his scientific research has given him will allow him to describe, classify, and explain the optimal functioning of the Mexican state.
In the political sphere the President-elect Sheinbaum Pardo She is a militant and leading member of her political party, Brunette. In this sense, we must not forget Robert Michels’ iron law of political parties applicable to all social organizations: In every social organization there is a tendency to form a oligarchy and this seeks its reproduction, until it is replaced by another. Here the work of Michels has been analyzed (Robert Miches; “Political Parties. A sociological study of the oligarchic tendencies of the democracy modern”; Amorrortu editors. Buenos Aires, 1969) on various occasions, there are two references: “The organization is the origin of domination. The domination of the elected over the voters, of the leaders over the principals, of the delegates over those who delegate. “Whoever says organization says oligarchy.” (Michels, 1969: p. 189) …The elites compete for the support of the bases in a process that has three levels: First… choose from among multiple topics on social problems of greatest relevance to their potential followers. Second, …further reduce cultural complexity. Third, strengthen their respective communication links with their audiences…” (Readings, EL DEBATE, Jan 18, 2023).
Reproduction of oligarchies in democracies
As can be seen in any social organization, its oligarchy will seek to reproduce itself. In any social group, the need arises for a part of the group to dedicate itself to managing what the rest contribute to life in society. This part becomes specialized in these public tasks, which is why it becomes an elite.
But, if it is worth it, in democracies, Robert Michels himself noted, they have their antidote to an authoritarian reproduction of the dominance of oligarchies, in his final conclusion he says: “It is not my intention to deny that every revolutionary movement of the working class and every movement sincerely inspired by a democratic spirit, may have some value as contributions to the weakening of oligarchic tendencies. The peasant in the fable tells his children on his deathbed that there is a treasure hidden in the field. After the old man’s death the sons dug everywhere to discover the treasure; They will not find it, but their tireless work improves the land and provides them with relative well-being. The treasure in the fable could well symbolize democracy. Democracy is a treasure that no one will ever discover by deliberate searching; but if we continue our search by working tirelessly to discover the undiscoverable, we will carry out work that will have fertile results in the democratic sense” (Michels, 1969: pp. 192-193).
In this sense, following Michels in his conclusion, acontra sensu, of his law of the tendency towards oligarchy in every social organization and therefore in the system of political parties, the need for a democratic regime that ensures two essential principles: “1) The ideological tendency of democracy towards criticism and oversight. 2) The effective opposite tendency of democracy towards the creation of increasingly complex and differentiated parties; that is, increasingly based on the competition of the less” (Michels, 1969: 194), it can be maintained, from this definition of democracy, that THE POSSIBILITY OF ALTERNANCE AND THE FREEDOM OF SUFFRAGE, is an exercise in criticism institutionalized social And, the only way to distance the authoritarian perpetuation of an oligarchy. Mexico is a democracy, and the democratic political regime will continue to be consolidated, as has been declared and maintained by the elected President, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.
Paragraphs: From the scientist
The importance of the President-elect also being a scientist will give the country the certainty that the President of Mexico will carry out a scientific analysis of the management of the federal government and the Mexican State. It is worth quoting the book “Method of Social Sciences” by Maurice Duverger: “In both the physical sciences and the social sciences three levels of scientific research can be distinguished: the level of description, the level of classification and the level of explanation. Lawmaking only occurs at the last level, although explanation and foresight are not completely united” (p. 356). That is, as a scientist, starting October 1, the President of Mexico will do a methodological exercise in which she will describe, classify and explain government action. In this fact could be the certainty that the national and international markets have expressed. To continue analyzing.
