As some may remember, for decades and in hundreds of installments of the Political Itineraryhere I warned of the risk potential for Mexican democracy if he came to power the eternal candidate, Lopez Obrador.
For years I documented not only the transas, blackmail, shoplifting and the complicities of Worker with organized crimebut his authoritarian drive and not at all democratic.
I documented their skills for him political blackmailthe mischief, his vengeful disposition and his ability to live like a kingdespite had never worked.
The curious thing is that today there are many who say they were surprised and deceived but who, openly and for years, thrived on the benefits that the naivety of blindly believing in López gave them.
But history repeats itself and the phenomenon of blind and deaf naivety is back, in the case of official candidate, Claudia Sheinbaumto whom many “intellectuals” and “expert opinionators” discover almost supernatural attributes, despite the fact that the facts show the opposite.
However, the stubborn reality shows the opposite. And, as you know, for years Mrs Sheinbaum has been AMLO's right armnot only in politics but in dirty business, transas and extortions all types.
But, in addition, the best portraits of Claudia appear in the exercise of power – a member of Obrador's cabinet in Mexico City, delegate in Tlalpan, head of government of CDMX and “cork” of 2024–, where not only his honesty was questioned, but also his ability to effectively exercise power.
Yes, after the first debate, in an unthinkable way, supposed “critics” awarded the Morena candidate unthinkable virtues and abilities.
For example, the ability to lie, deny reality or hide facts were revealed as virtues of the presidential candidate, while “the critic”, Jesús Silva Herzog-Márquez, defined Sheinbaum as “competent, organized, reflective, attentive to the detail and strategic thinking” and, above all, incapable of “voluntaristic arrogance.”
In short, in the 2024 presidential election, “the favorite sport” of denying what presidential candidates are made of is back, which will eventually lead critics and intellectuals to another profitable “fashionable sport”; that of proclaiming an “alleged deception.” Yes, the perfect farce.
The truth, however, is that in politics they only deceive those who want to be deceived. And López Obrador only fooled “the legion of idiots,” while his presidential heir follows the same steps.
And for those who doubt that he was always, in the eyes of everyone, the type of scourge that López was, here is a summary of the Political Itinerary of November 22, 2015, titled: “Thank you, Andrés Manuel!”
This is how I explained it almost nine years ago; reality that many refused to see at that time: “November 20, 2015 can be remembered as the day that democratic destruction began in Mexico And that is thanks to the rude and grotesque democratic simulation that Morena put together, to anoint as “ king” to López Obrador, today Mexico opens the door to authoritarianism, in the best style of Latin American dictatorships.
“That is why we must say thank you, Andrés Manuel, for showing us the path to authoritarianism; for confirming that there is no “better democracy” than a show of hands. Thanks for returning to the single-candidate culture; to prove that the only democracy is that of organized assemblies, without adversaries, without discussion, without criticism, with no other rule than applause for the king.
“Thank you for remembering the basic rule of anti-democracy; that the owner of the party is the owner of the will of all the followers of the party; for ratifying that the owner of the party is the owner of the presidency of the party and owner of all the candidacies, especially the presidential candidacy.
“Thank you, Andrés, for showing that the path is the vertical and despotic authoritarianism of the old PRI of the 50s, 60s and 70s; times of one man, bossy and patriarch; times restored by the serene majesty of him.
“Thank you, Andrés, because with the genius that characterizes you, you deceived everyone in the assembly that hailed you as king of Morena, where you placed all the quotas and friends you needed; loyal ones that you can't do without, but to whom you owed bones in gratitude for their loyalties.
“Thank you, Andrés Manuel, for recovering for Morena the maxim of “he who does not compromise does not advance”; school that allowed you not to work but to travel the world, live as a potentate and fly the flags of the poor.
“Thank you because without paying a peso in taxes you can have your own political party and you can use public money for whatever you want; above all to destroy “perverse bourgeois democracy.”
“Thank you, Andrés Manuel, because your Tabasco genius made the “raffle democracy” possible, a magical formula that leaves access to public office “to chance” but leaves the undesirable dictatorship of merit in the trash.
“Thank you, because your intelligence is capable of breaking all the dams of oppressive laws; divine and human laws; natural laws and imperfect laws, such as the one that forces men to work to survive; that forces everyone to pay taxes, to pay for electricity, gas, water…
“Thank you because your example of not respecting the law, of telling institutions to go to hell, makes it possible for hundreds of people to steal electricity in Tabasco, steal gasoline throughout the country, under the protection of the fact that they are poor.
“Thank you, Andrés Manuel, because in addition to being the king of Morena, you are the king of incongruity, which makes you the most congruent. Thank you because no one realized that with the deception of Morena's spots – which you use for your presidential campaign – you stole the equivalent of 50 white houses and no one accused you of being a thief.
“Thank you because despite what the Morena statutes say, you insist that Morena be the best example of the authoritarian, vertical, repressive, incongruous and not at all democratic PRI.
“Thank you because you proclaim yourself king of honesty and transparency but, until today, no one knows what you have lived off for years – along with all your children –, as if you had a job with a salary of 200 thousand pesos per month.
“And thank you because you will go down in history as the champion of democratic destruction in Mexico, without many wanting to see it. “At the same time.” (END OF QUOTE)
Did they really not know who López Obrador was? Do you really not know who Claudia Sheiumbaun is? Only those who want to be deceived are deceived.
At the time.
