“Everything that is valuable in human society
depends on opportunities for advancement
that is granted to each individual.
Albert Einstein
It doesn’t matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it hunts mice. The phrase is attributed to Deng Xiaoping, a Chinese politician from the last century who succeeded Mao… I have been thinking about this story as a palliative to the distress -which I do not deny- had guest my heart the week that passed. Let the cat catch mice, that is that whoever governs knows why he does it. Reality, as stubborn as it is, marks that the course will hardly be corrected.
Without the operation and execution of the public politics by strong institutions, inertia of the government inefficiency will continue. They can deny it in a thousand ways, right now that is the direction, since the national development plan 2024-2030 We will know if we confirm it or have the nice surprise of a president with her own thinking and leadership.
Assuming without granting the legitimacy of the process and the choice, those who have the evidence of majority in any position or level of representation must give citizens the certainty of conducting government for all with honesty and transparency. I find it difficult for many who repeat, if they didn’t do it before, why would they do it now?
I had to follow the process closely, it is not the first to which I dedicate attention and analysis, which allows me comparisons, astonishments and of course some sadness. The democracy is imperfect I have heard it so many times, something will have to be done to perfect it.
The electoral authorities have the challenge of improving the operation of the institutes in terms of training the polling station officials who carry out the first counting of the votes, more than six hours in some cases, sometimes bad thoughts appear, as when warning – for example – that fatigue was the objective, more so in remote areas, a separate issue is the capture of data in the PREP which is a sum system and I saw how within an hour there was a number of votes that decreased hour later, I have no explanation.
In the election the majority defines the course of the country, it is clear to me that the majority has a different idea of the country they want, with respect to the thoughts that I share with millions of Mexicans, about a free, fair, educated and prosperous Mexico.
In politics, for some vote-buyers, ethics are fiction, there is no shame or reason for being except to stay in power. They seem educated – they can be – but their hearts are not enough to be fair. Triumphs like this are insults to one’s own conscience. The end justifies the means is not a phrase that leads to pride. Time still needs to pass. The truth has a life of its own, it is not extinguished at will.
Surrealist said Bretón from Mexico, reality has been overcome, the unconscious expressed its fear, how is it possible to vote for someone who announces the suppression of freedoms, for the regime that denied us a health system and promotes indoctrination in education, for continuity of a government that does not support the countryside, fishing, and livestock and took away women’s rights, that made direct wholesale awards in public works, that damages the environment and disdains the production of clean energy. Do you really believe that anything will change? This is one of the rare times I want to be wrong.
Postscript. – This is not over until it is over… many will follow from our places struggling by democracy‘in particular dreaming of an educated country. Let him think as well as feel.
