For López Obrador, the word society is “elitist” and only the poor fit in it.
As of December 15, with the failed attempt to assassinate Ciro Gómez Leyva, several relevant events (plagiarism of thesis, narco-paramilitary assault on a border prison, Culiacanazo Dos…) have been relegated by the visit of Biden and Trudeauspattered with blood by a new tragedy in the dilapidated Subway administered by the “left”.
In journalism, facts count more than statements. but some deserve attention and that of the governors of Brunette in support of Claudia Sheinbaum stinks of what the head of government and the president Lopez Obrador they impute to their opponents: disgusting use of a disgrace for the pure grid.
Other affirmations, but of much greater importance because they reveal the convictions behind the social policy of the government, were uttered by AMLO on January 2 and 4. They have no waste:
He was talking about a talk with Claudio X Sr. during a meeting of the Mexican Business Council and he said he had told him “That also the poor were loyal and that they could be trusted, not so in the powerful, not so in the media, not so in the intellectuals of the regime, not so in sectors of the aspirational, individualistic middle classes.”
He reflected:
“I am not generalizing but, according to my experience of many years, the poor are very loyal (…).
So, we must not beat around the bush, it is very clear: if you have love for the people, if you support everyone, if you care for everyone, if you listen to everyone, if you respect everyone, but you give preference to the poor, there is nothing to fear, that is the strategy (…).
And it’s nothing personal, it’s not hateful, it’s that we consider that this is the way to have a better society, now the correct application of the term ‘society’, to have a better people, a better citizenship ( …).
It is not a personal matter, it is also not a matter of polarization, it is not a matter of exclusion (…).
That society ‘sets the pattern’? Let’s see political scientists, sociologists, what is society? What is not a people? Society we are all. From a conceptual point of view we are all: poor, rich, we are society, but here society has to do with the elite. (…).
The ‘society’, the connotation, is elitist (…).
The connotation for a conservative is that society is an elite…”.
On Wednesday the 4th he confessed
“But also helping the poor one is safe, because you already know that when you need to defend, in this case the transformation, you have their support, not so with sectors of the middle class, nor with those at the top, Neither with the media, nor with the intelligentsia. So, it is not a personal matter, it is a matter of political strategy…”.
In 2018, 15 of the 30 million votes he got were from the poor and the remaining 15 million were contributed by “aspirationists” from the loathing middle class.
Today, around three million former middle class have become poor…
