conflict in relationships Government-press or press-Government would explain the argumentative reasons of the president Lopez Obrador as a reaction to the registration scene of the assassination attempt against the journalist Ciro Gomez Leyva in a prosecution of the presidential figure crediting him with climate co-responsibility in the ecosystem of the agenda of National Palace.
It is time, after almost 20 years to deal on a daily basis with the personal style of political communication of Lopez Obrador, in which critics have not been able to process indirect presidential messages, nor have there been attempts to manage reactions lopezobradoristas in critical scenarios of social concerns, as occurred with the march against insecurity in 2004 and the death of the Pope John Paul II in 2005, crossing into the political plans of the Tabasco.
The criminal aggression against Cirowithout there being any concrete clue, was the opportunity to corner the President of the Republic on three issues that have been central to his media discourse: the accusations against journalists on the grounds that they served as direct support for the old PRI regimethe insecurity crisis due to the official decision to opt for police inoperativeness as the axis of the peacebuilding model and the capital scenario where violence directly hits the preferred succession corkolata.
This political-media scenario would be placing the presidente Lopez Obrador disadvantaged by the credibility of Cyrus and the dimension of the direct aggression against his life, in addition to the way in which the sectors antilopezobradoristas have turned the Imagen journalist into a point of direct confrontation against the President of the Republic.
Moved by the theory of communicative actionPresident Lopez Obrador He is an expert in image management and political communication and he knew that his reaction had to create alternative scenarios to the three mentioned above and hence the ease with which he used arguments that effectively distanced the debates from negative issues and built new scenarios to discuss sensitivities and not lines of government.
political communication direct through the morning is the very effective instrument of government of the president Lopez Obrador since he began the morning conferences at the Government Headquarters of the DF at the end of 2000 using them to fix the agenda -the agenda setting model- which previously corresponded to the media in handling normal information or with different degrees of intensity in criticism.
In this context, the presidential statement that the attack could have been fabricated to affect his government diverted attention from public perception of the increase in insecurity and violence in the capital of the republic and the negative effects on the media figures of the boss Claudia Sheinbaum and the person in charge of security Omar Garcia Harfuch as a Morenista pre-candidate for the governments of Mexico City or Morelos.
With skill and experience, the President of the Republic has known how to set the tones, themes and rhythms of journalistic responses based on their ability to set the agenda, moving the media away from professional investigations and focusing on personal criticism of the figure of political leadership lopezobradorista.
There are very few journalistic investigations to the issue of security in the capital of the Republic, despite the evidence of violence, drug trafficking, the sale of protection, the establishment of cartels and kidnappings, the media falling into the media trap of practicing journalism critical vis a vis the figure and the presidential sayings in the morning. In the case of the criminal attack against Cyrusthe media response in general was to criticize the President of the Republic and fall into the game of direct responsibilities, without perceiving any interest in a journalistic investigation into the alleged criminal responsibilities of the attack.
We recommend you read:
From the night of Friday the 16th to the morning of Tuesday the 20th, the subject of the already considered as a case Ciro Gomez Leyva it focused on the media and a confrontation between the provocative sayings of the president and the response of the main critical commentators of the media, without any exploration or investigative attempt to find some rational and cold explanation for the criminal attack.
In this context, and even with all the valid discouragement, the president is winning on the media stage.
