They are becoming an unnecessary evil and have not realized it. Florestan.
When yesterday on Radio Formula I asked the United States ambassador, Ken Salazar, if he had any comments on President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s policy of hugging and not shooting in the face of violence in Mexico, he told me: Look, my view and the In the view of the United States, there should be no impunity for those who engage in crime, right? I was the prosecutor of my state for six years, I put many criminals in the prisons of the United States. That is what has to be done, for people who break the law, that is being done, too, I believe and I am sure that it is what we in the United States think.
He also spoke about what he had mentioned and that he confirmed to me yesterday, in the face of the uncontrollable and uncontrolled problem of migration, today at levels never seen before on the Mexico-United States, Mexico-Guatemala borders, where that flow, which historically was from Mexicans to the north now adds Central Americans, Cubans, Venezuelans, Africans and Asians. He told me that, effectively, the construction of the transismic project, from Salina Cruz to Coatzacoalcos, could be decisive in the control of illegal migration, since it is easier to contain it in that 300-kilometer strait than in the 3,200-kilometre border.
And about his assiduous visits to the National Palace with President López Obrador, he goes further than many cabinet secretaries, he told me: I go to the Palace when there is a need, when there is work to be done between Mexico and the United States. So the more I am there talking in dialogue with the Mexican government, the better for relations.
There is no doubt that Salazar is a different ambassador, for a different relationship, especially after the disastrous Donald Trump, the friend of you know who.
PATCHWORK
1. RATES.- After the blow of the FED yesterday by increasing the interest rate by 75 basis points, the largest increase since 1994, the table was set for the Bank of Mexico to do the same next Thursday or perhaps more. Deputy Governor Gerardo Esquivel did not rule out more forceful actions. López Obrador does not like to see rates rise;
2. SCHEDULE.- The same president revealed yesterday that he had already done a survey in which 71 percent of Mexicans (sic) spoke out against daylight saving time and that next week he sends the law so that it can be easily approved. What happens is that nobody knew about the survey. Do you? Is this how your presidential candidate is going to be? Y
3. GUARANTEES.- Claudia Sheinbaum declared to La Jornada, which brought her as the main note, I am ready to give continuity to the 4-T. That is the message that she sent to López Obrador, which perhaps she has not told him alone, but she did send it to him in public. He failed to add the family coverage that they always sell to those who leave.
See you tomorrow, but in private.
