Of my 2,946 Sundays, today is my sixth presidential election sunday. The day will run in slow motion. The idea of Homeland as we know it today will be in suspense…
The transexennial stability and confidence that the INE The electoral process was undermined by the innocuous alternation between PRI and the BREAD leaving us a legacy of apathy and abstentionism. He impoverishment of the middle class and the corruption It continued regardless of which of the two was presiding over the country. To give us an idea, in the alternation period between 1990* and 2018, the mexican population who could pay for their studies at the best private universities in the country went from 19% to 2%. The hope of alternation capitalized it Brunette in 2018… but not exactly to improve.
In 2018 our president received a country thirsting for justice. His campaign promises appealed to different social classes alike. She understood that corruption is germ of distrust…but also the alternation. Mexico didn’t know where to go, it just knew where it didn’t want to be. Thus, being able to improve the conditions of his compatriots, he chose to worsen them. His promise to deal with corruption, instead of eradicating it, is used to finance the transexennial project of the 4T and to do so requires preserving power.
What triggers in a president the need to take advantage of vulnerability of a country to carry out his personal agenda instead of strengthening it? Whatever it is, it is not a local phenomenon. 52 nations have between 20 and 50 years under the yoke of a dictator with a hidden title.
AMLOif you decide stay in power He will do it as long as he is the one who can apply the revocation of mandate to his successors. If history is a guide, life after being in power is not easy for many dictators, which is why they cling to their position. Either for having made contrary promises during the campaign or to avoid being prosecuted, or to maintain the wealth they obtain through corruption or, in some cases, to avoid dying at the hands of their adversaries.
Dear reader,
Today is your election Sundaydon’t make it the last… Vote.
Grab a ride.
*1990 is the year in which the IFE, which preceded the INE, was created.
