Again “the donkey to the wheat”. Once again, the Mexican president complains that his is the most criticized government, inside and outside our country. Again he whimpers in his “morning” and “throws himself on the floor”, in one more of the montages of misunderstood victim. But he also once again gives us a full-length portrait of his dictatorial drive; image that exhibits him as intolerant not only to criticism, but also to the hard data of a reality that confirms him as the worst president in history.
But first I invite you to answer the following questions:
1.- How many citizens “repentant of voting” for López Obrador do you know?
Possibly there are many.
two.- How many Mexicans “repentant of not voting” for López Obrador do you know?
They probably don’t know a single one.
3.- Can you list “a success” or “a single promise fulfilled” by the government of President López Obrador?
Surely it will be difficult for them to find a single hit.
It was important to start with that trio of questions because behind the triggers of criticism and/or applause for any government effort, there is the failure or the success in the exercise of power. What social scientists know as “management effectiveness”.
In other words – and from the genesis of Newton’s Third Law -: every government success corresponds to citizen applause, while every failure, mistake or presidential lie corresponds to criticism and even social repudiation of the president.
In other words, López has earned criticism and even social repudiation, as a result of his bad government, his lies, his criminal alliance and his attacks on democracy.
And that’s also why we return to the initial questions
Why “are many people sorry for voting” for López Obrador?
Everyone knows the answer: because there are many disappointed by the deplorable performance of the Mexican president; Even for most of them, López’s is the worst government in history.
Why “is there not a single Mexican who regrets not voting” for López Obrador?
Because every day the facts prove and even shout that the vote for AMLO, the current president, was a mistake, a mistake and even suicide.
And although the facts shout all the presidential nonsense throughout the country, it is also true that not all citizens want to hear such shouts of reality. Many are blind and deaf of their own volition.
But such is the failure of the so-called Fourth Transformation that it is almost impossible to find a success of the AMLO government.
In a few words, if Obrador’s is the most questioned government, without a doubt that criticism is the product of the least efficient management, the most disastrous, the most corrupt and the most lying.
But that’s only part of the equation.
The president says that despite the fact that his is the most criticized government, “there is no repression.”
What are you talking about? Does López believe that criticism is a graceful concession from his dictatorship and that we constituents should kneel to give thanks because he does not repress critics and opponents?
Again we go by parts.
First, López Obrador forgets, ignores or outright tries to deceive citizens when he omits that criticism – the same one that the brilliant opponent López exercised fully – is “the jewel in the crown” in any self-respecting democracy.
In other words, criticism and critics are not only essential in any democratic government administration, but criticism and critics are a consubstantial part of the exercise of power.
And it is that if in a representative democracy –like the Mexican one–, the citizens are the principals -those who give the mandate to the president–, and if López Obrador is the president, then the critics are citizens specialized in observing and press the exercise of government and are obliged to compare its effectiveness or ineffectiveness in favor of society as a whole.
But it only corresponds to the citizens – yes and only yes -, to trust or not the critics; select those who best carry out the criticism; trust those who have no more interest than providing the citizen with hard data about the success and/or failure of this or that government.
Second, López also forgets that the repression of criticism is called “censorship” and that official repression is official censorship.
But López also hides that his government is one of the ones that has censored the most and continues to censor critics and critics.
Yes, the president can make all the setups he wants to victimize himself, but the truth is that from the Palace, López himself orders censorship of most critical media and journalists. And the evidence of such censorship is there for all to see.
That is why it is only possible to count on the fingers of one hand the so-called national media that are independent and critical: the newspapers El Universal and Reforma… as well as a handful of digital spaces.
And only those media in the Mexican press, while every day there are more foreign media critical of Obrador’s stupidity.
And third, the president omits that all the serious organizations that defend human rights and journalistic work -in addition to the UN- consider Mexico as the most dangerous country for the performance of journalism and criticism.
And that not honorable first place of violence against media and journalists is a product of the growing criminal violence in AMLO’s management; a management that -at the extreme of cynicism-, proclaims its alliance with organized crime.
Government in which 60 dead journalists have been reported, of which all the alleged perpetrators remain unpunished. Yes, official impunity in favor of “journalist killers”, which stimulates the most questionable extremes of censorship; the silence of critics through bullets.
The truth, in the end, is that the López Obrador government can continue to encourage censorship and crime against journalists, but it will not be able to silence a hundred million voices that will sooner or later bring him to trial.
At the time
