For Ricardo Monreal and Marcelo Ebrard, the presidential election in 2024 will be the closest thing to “the last call”.
That is to say, the last opportunity to achieve the coveted and always desired nomination as presidential candidates; banner that they sought since their time as PRI, PRD and today “lopistas”.
And it is “the last call” because in six more years – if they are not blessed by 2024, as all the forecasts suggest – Monreal and Ebrard will be political waste from one of the worst stages in Mexican history; AMLO’s failed administration.
Worse yet, that of 2024 is a contest in which the two veterans of politics have been subjected to the most shameful humiliations awaiting total loyalty and absolute abjection on the part of the tyrant López; the dictator who even went so far as to label them with the ugly name of “corcholatas”.
For these reasons, today it is possible to predict that both Ricardo Monreal and Marcelo Ebrard will not stay still, nor will they be silent, much less give up on their last chance to run for president.
In other words, it turns out that in preparation for the final decision; Waiting for the “decision from the Palace” that will favor Claudia Sheinbaum, Messrs. Ricardo and Marcelo are already preparing the ground, the scenarios and their respective political teams for what will be “their last letter”.
And what will that “last letter” be?
We refer to the “coming rebellion” and that will surely take Monreal and Marcelo to the 2024 electoral ballot, despite the fact that the decision confronts them directly with López Obrador, the owner of Morena and the only and undisputed “faithful of the scales” to choose the successor.
And it is that as is known by all, in the presidential election of 2024 there is only one place; a candidacy that will be delivered to the most docile, the most loyal, the most faithful and – for all that reason -, the least prepared for the position: the current “manager” of Mexico City.
In effect, the qualities that will make Mrs. Sheinbaum a presidential candidate are precisely her political inexperience and her limited initiative in exercising power, but above all, her formidable docility; typical of a puppy that is unable to look directly at its owner.
Mrs. Sheinbaum is, in a few words, “the perfect woman” for a Maximato like the one that López Obrador has already begun to weave, who after 2024 aspires to continue “mangoing” power through that “puppet” that has always been and that she will continue to be Mrs. Claudia.
And faced with that reality, it forces us to ask.
What will Monreal and Ebrard do once AMLO uncovers Claudia?
Will they keep quiet; they will blindly support the chosen one; Will they look for a party to run for office and, with that decision, will they dare to betray López Obrador?
In reality, the big question is whether we will see the miracle of Morena’s “Farm Rebellion”?
But let’s go in parts.
In the case of Ricardo Monreal, there is no doubt that he has already been relegated from the select group of Palacio’s favourites.
And the reason is elemental; that the dictator López does not trust one millimeter in Monreal from Zacatecas.
And it is that López and Monreal “are political animals” –in a rigorous Aristotelian definition–, cut from the same cloth.
Both were built in the PRI, both jumped to another party to win a state election, both like deception and lies as fundamental weapons to achieve their goals and, therefore, neither of them respects anything or anyone.
Thus, faced with a hypothetical candidacy of Ricardo Monreal and in the event of victory, without a doubt the first thing he would do would be to detonate all traces of his predecessor and build his own kingdom.
For this reason, aware of Monreal’s attitude -which is his mirror-, the tyrant of the Palace will never hand him the presidential candidacy, despite the fact that the Zacatecan naively proclaims that “it is the secret letter” of Obrador.
Without a doubt, Ricardo Monreal will be on the presidential ticket for 2024, but not for Morena; possibly by Movimiento Ciudadano or by another of the emerging parties.
Marcelo’s case is different.
For example, in the 2012 presidential election, Ebrard had everything in his power to become a powerful presidential candidate for the PRD.
However, he was afraid to send López Obrador to prison -because of the mountain of thefts committed by the Tabascan in the GDF–, and he did not dare to denounce that he cheated to keep the presidential candidacy of the same 2012.
Today, before “the last call”, Marcelo moves his pieces, lobbying, broadening his horizons and preparing for an eventual “rebellion” that could lead him as a potential presidential candidate of the PRI, PAN and PRD coalition.
And it is that Marcelo plays his last card and in that letter the deed of López Obrador’s inheritance does not appear.
For example, Marcelo sends veiled but powerful messages about the future of clean energy, which means a path diametrically opposed to what AMLO proposes.
According to those close to him, Marcelo does not share anything that his boss, López Obrador, is carrying out regarding security, waste in pharaonic works, regarding Mexico’s relationship with the world and, above all, the López’s stratagem on the economic issue.
In a few words, faced with an eventual candidacy and a potential victory in 2024, Marcelo Ebrard would undoubtedly completely dismantle the so-called 4-T and send many of the members of the cabinet and the entire government to prison.
And while that is happening, Marcelo is seeking to be nominated by a party or a coalition other than Morena; party that he will fight with everything in the presidential contest of 2024, which for him will be “the last call”.
