Nothing ensures the same reality in 2024


No one, not even the ruling party with its “revolution of consciences” and institutional dismantling, can guarantee that the social and political circumstances for the presidential election will be the same as today.

The opposition would be wrong to follow the advice of analysts and political scientists who do not see that the circumstances in 2022 or 2024, due to the looming crises and the regime change in black work, will not be those of 2018.

If the succession itself, even though “in pectore” seems resolved, is in a calculated pause due to a possible change of circumstances, it is better for the Alliance, like the ranch musicians, to play it by ear and only try to finally finish the last one together. note.

Doctors: hyperbolic official versions

Almost two years ago, on a tour, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador declared: “we are masters of our silences and slaves of our words”, a reflection that he seemed to ignore in the case of the Cuban doctors.

Thus, since last Monday, when reviving the old advice of the Alcocer-López Gatell duo of the chronic lack of doctors induced by neoliberalism, the easy chorus and its most hyperbolic explanations were launched.

Example: “they don’t want to go to the mountains”, they said. Not that the doctors who accept the position will be contracted for only four months, with no guarantee of contract renewal. And the cowardly duo accuses them of a lack of social conscience. They forget the Saxon saying: “karma is a bitch”.

Is Biden’s route to the Summit different?

With the authorization of private flights and the release of family remittances to Cuba to the limit, US President Joseph Biden resumes Obama’s gestures of rapprochement with Havana, canceled by the boorish Donald Trump.

It opens spaces for tourism and family remittances to support Cuban personal economies. They are not supporting the dictatorship, they are only trying to clear the way for a peaceful and orderly transition.

We will soon know if it is a route parallel to the Mexican one or if the subtle signs of Washington were not read well here and we are trapped in the most stale version of the parochial leftism of the last century.

Swirling Notes

The IMEF affirms, according to The Economist, that the Mexican economy is already in “stagflation”, inflation without growth, a phenomenon for which no economist in the world has a solution, Eduardo Ruiz Healy said… Three national guardsmen and a hitman were killed was the result of a confrontation in Jalisco with groups from the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel… Minister Loretta Ortiz will break the tie in the Supreme Court on the decision on the constitutionality of the López Obrador superdelegates… A minute of silence in Congress for the death of PRI politician Eliseo Mendoza Berrueto, Echoes of times gone by… Someone from the Government He is wrong in assuming that the CNTE demonstrators will settle for the sit-in in the Zócalo. They underestimate them… Implacable in his judgments, F. Scott Fitzgerald left us this reflection: “And so we go forward, boats against the current, incessantly dragged towards the past”…
