First two pearls from the popular proverb.
1.- “In politics there are no coincidences, in any case, there are only causalities.”
2.- “If you don't want to see ghosts, don't go out at night.”
The memory exercise is relevant because on the afternoon of Monday, April 1, 2024 – 62 days before the federal election -, many were suddenly surprised because, hours after the start of their campaign for mayor of Celaya, Guanajuato, Gisela Gaytán, Morena candidate, was murdered.
Without a doubt, this is a reprehensible crime, which must be condemned in the most vigorous manner possible and, of course, investigated and punished by the corresponding authorities, be they municipal, state or federal.
However, it is also true that we are witnessing the confirmation of the analogy of “cause and effect.” Or if you want, the logic that the aforementioned examples of the popular proverb proclaim is perfectly fulfilled.
And if you doubt it, let's get to the questions.
What type of federal election could we expect, if we have lived under the most violent government in history – almost 200 thousand lives lost due to crime -, with more than 150 thousand disappeared, thousands of femicides, massacres and with the greatest number of journalists murdered?
What kind of election do we expect, after six years of violence, 65 months of the pernicious alliance of governments – municipal, state and federal Morena – with the most powerful criminal gangs and under proven “narco-governments”, like those of Guerrero, Michoacán, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas, to name just a few examples?
The truth is that if, throughout AMLO's government, the president sowed winds of violence, terror and crime, in the largest federal election in history – that of 2024 – he will only reap the storm of the most violent elections , with the greatest interference by criminal gangs and more fraud.
But that logic is just the beginning. Because? Because presidential cynicism reached extremes that were not only unthinkable, but intolerable.
And, in expressing his condolences to the murdered candidate, López exhibited another aberration that portrays him as a complete cynic.
First he said that he recommended to the governor of Guanajuato, Diego Sinhue, to change the state prosecutor, “simply because there are no results.”
Then he introduced the hypothesis that organized crime rules in Guanajuato and, in the end, accused the state leader of being inefficient.
This is what he said: “In (Guanajuato) there is a very strange relationship, of groups that have power…”.
–“Is it a criminal group?”–, a reporter asked him.
–“I don't know, it's like the governor governs, but he doesn't command, to put it clearly…” (End of quote)
Therefore, in the face of such cynicism, we ask again: With what face does the most inefficient president, with the highest number of intentional homicides, talk about inefficiency in the Guanajuato prosecutor's office? Have Obrador and his federal prosecutor's office been totally ignorant and complacent with criminals?
How big is AMLO's cynicism, when López insinuates that, in Guanajuato, the criminal groups are in charge and not the governor, despite the fact that throughout the country the criminal cartels allied with the president are the principals who impose governors, mayors and Morena legislators?
Presidential cynicism that not only offends institutions, but also threatens governability and the rule of law.
But the circle of inefficiency, indolence and official stupidity does not end if we remember the behind-the-scenes of Gisela Gaytán's crime. As you know, the murdered candidate was a candidate for mayor, for the official party, Morena.
That is to say, Morena does not even take care of its own cadres, in the face of the threat of criminal gangs. And it turns out that the candidate for mayor of Celaya had not only requested official protection, through the mechanisms created by the INE, but she knew that her life was in danger.
Still, his speech focused on the fight against the criminal gangs that maintain control of Celaya and Guanajuato.
Yes, hours before her murder, Gisela Gaytán promised to end violence and crime in Celaya, which turned on the red lights of the dominant gang, especially the Santa Rosa de Lima cartel.
Thus, despite the risk that the candidate ran, neither the INE, nor the municipality, nor the state government, much less the federal government, gave her protection. Worse still, in the videos of the crime you can see the moment when the military and sailors withdraw, to let the hitmen carry out their deadly order.
Furthermore, in the videos of the scene, no authority intervenes to prevent the attack and even less to arrest the criminals. That is to say, everything indicates that we are witnessing a state crime, ordered and executed from the highest levels of power, with the clear intention of causing terror.
And they got it. That's why we ask again.
Even when? Who's next?
At the time.
