My flag is raised on the flagpole…

The ideas are discussed, they are not disqualified and neither is the author. Florestan.

He President López Obrador confirmed yesterday that it is he who decides when the monumental flag is raised of the Constitution Plazawhich he had always endorsed other factors such as respect for the national flag or the shielding of his palace.

When we are 133 days before the end of his governmenthe September 30thin the morning declared that yes, he is going to raise the flag today, tomorrow, Sunday and always because, unlike what I told you here yesterday, it belongs to everyone, it is the national flag, not of a movement, not of a person, so, unlike all the times I have done it denied, now he is going to wave in the Plaza de la Constitución, as if it were a grace, a presidential mercyas he understands that position that ignores the aspect of representative for that of boss.

Regarding the reasons for raising the flag at will, he pointed out the risk of being disrespected, which is a false scenario, because when raising it at six in the morning the square is deserted, and when lowering it at six in the morning late, there has never been an insult, on the contrary, it is a ceremony that brings together hundreds of people who greet her with respect and say goodbye with applause when the military honor guard removes her and takes her martially to the palace through the central door.

That is what I have always maintained, that the president does not want mothers, women, students, and the opposition to wave the monumental flagpole in demonstrations that are not in his favor.

Yesterday he made it clear while defending the armor from his palace saying that it is to prevent extremists from coming in to set it on fire, which is delusional.

So at the end of his government he guaranteed what he bargained for for years: the personal use of the monumental flag of Mexico and of all Mexicans.

My flag is raised on the flagpole… The national flag is my flag… not yours.

RETAILS

1. PLAZA.- It was clear that the CNTE sit-in in the Zócalo was for block the rally on Sunday in support of Xóchitl Gálvezwho now needs a plan-B to avoid the confrontation with the militants of that organization;

2. VISIT.- Foreign Minister Alicia Bárcena said that she visited the Registration Center of the Refugee Commission in Tapachula and that from there we promoted an exemplary southern border. I don’t know what Bárcena visited because if anything is a humanitarian disaster, it is that border area dominated by overcrowding, corruption, violation of human rights and the control of organized crime; and

3. OBISPO.- The prosecutor of Morelos, Uriel Carmona, denied the dastardly version of the Morelos government about the case of the bishop emeritus of Chilpancingo-Chilapa, Salvador Rangel, and maintained that it was indeed a kidnapping and that he summoned the admiral security commissioner of Morelos, José Antonio Ortiz Guarneros, to ratify his accusation.

See you on Tuesday, but in private.
