“The future always begins now.”
Mark Strand
The poet Strand says well, the future start now. Now is when I say. He future designed with votes he June 2nd. The future is a path and a goal, it is born every day and it is born in us, that is the most important thing. Amado Nervo in his famous poem “In Peace” quotes ‘I was the architect of my own destiny’.
At eighteen in Mexico we reach the citizenship. In the next election, 6 million 600 thousand young people between the eighteen and twenty-one years will be able vote for the first time. The nominal list of electors is, closed numbers, of 100 million. He 52% of voters are womenhe 48% are men. By age, those 65 and older form a group of 13 million voters, curiously in contrast, the group between 18 and 24 years old adds up to 14.5 million voters. Two blocks with drive and commitment, with wisdom and strength. The future becomes more important.
Age puts ideas in order, I pray that this is the case, the future is seen in the minors of the family, there we transfer the feeling of permanence, the enthusiasm to achieve the goals we set for ourselves, we endorse them with the hope that those who join us continue to live better, fully and fulfill your dreams. For the family, for those we love, we want an orderly society, democratic governments, just laws.
It cannot be because of the outline of the country in these five and a half years that it is achieved, I have bad news for you: the future has been canceled. The destruction of institutions, the threat of a new constitution, the election of judges and magistrates, the delivery of works and strategic tasks to the armed forces… outline the ambition of a man sick of power. There was and is danger with López Obrador. The signs are clear and they are not good.
Young people who will vote for the first time have to think about the future that will begin with the decision they make. On June 2 we will sign an agreement with Mexico. remaining in democracy and encouraging freedoms depends on us, young or old, the future is a time that, with or without us, will be.
Let’s think about the possibilities of a committed, responsible and demanding citizenry, which shapes a new political and government culture, which is based on ethics and shame. Society always waits for better governments, it waits because it needs it. We do not have the option of indolence or reluctance, here we must go forward, face the ballot box and vote with conscience and civility, vote with patriotism, vote with a vision of the future.
The almost 7 million young people are our hope, in less than two decades they will take the reins of the country, they will lead in ruins or in a state of modernity, they will have to decide, in reality there is not much to think about, with the current government and its announced pompousness continuity we go to the precipice, to disorder and violence.
Young people, now is when it is better to bet on democracy and elections as democratic forms, with clean hands and without alterations, than to seal a deal with those who destroy the republic, from municipalities, states and federation, they have already shown that they do not know how to govern, They hide behind the people, we are all the people and we know that they do not govern for everyone or with transparency, nor for a prosperous Mexico. They have no reason to exist, they only know how to destroy, we cannot stay still. Think about Mexico and the future you want for it, I know that you will vote in accordance with progress, democracy and freedom. Long live Mexico!
