So that no one has doubts about the role of the Financial Intelligence Unit in this government, there is the political operator of the 4T, the Secretary of the Interior, Adán Augusto López, giving Pablo Gómez a position of the Ministry of Finance!
Modesty has never been on the side of a government that believes in its moral superiority over any other national government, or even international, as we could hear it in the Security Council of the United Nations Organization.
But this type of obviousness of the centralized and interested management of the institutions leads one to ask what is the role of the experts that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador turned to to occupy certain portfolios.
There are the unconditional ones who, even with very little preparation and no experience, comply with that maxim of López Obrador himself that to be a public official in his government requires 90% honesty (as understood by the 4T, of course) and 10% of experience.
But there are a few officials who are true experts, well prepared, it is surprising that they got on that train in counter-flow to common sense that is the 4T.
And one of the strangest cases is that of the Secretary of the Treasury, Rogelio Ramírez de la O.
Such a renowned financier, removed from the ranks of the private sector, seemed to make a real difference in the management of the country’s public finances. But no, it has been reduced to one more spokesperson than the President orders.
The appointment of Pablo Gómez to replace Santiago Nieto at the head of the FIU and show it under the control of the Ministry of the Interior, is the most recent message but not the only one.
Since he arrived, Ramírez de la O has not been able to form the team he wanted due to the multiple political and economic barriers that have been imposed on him. Many good cadres have thanked him when he tells them how much they can hope to win.
It happened to him in his attempt to appoint the head of the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV), there was no real expert who accepted the conditions and then he was notified from the National Palace that its head would be Jesús de la Fuente Rodríguez.
Now, from that commission, they want to “send messages” to financial institutions so that they align themselves with the quadrotheistic thinking of these times. That message that banks and other institutions are beginning to receive has the stamp of the recently appointed vice president of the CNBV, Lucía Buenrostro, who, for more information, is the sister of Raquel Buenrostro, head of the Tax Administration Service.
And speaking of the SAT, when Ramírez de la O arrived at the Treasury the long-awaited tax reform, which ended in miscellaneous, was already drawn up from the office of the person in charge of collecting taxes.
But what most surprised the markets was the timid and aligned way of the head of the Treasury to get on the issue of the energy counter-reform.
A man as brilliant and experienced as Ramírez de la O had to endorse the “Bartlett Reform” that would return to the country in the 70s.
This is an expert who is fading under the overwhelming cloak of this administration.
