President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will attend the Tripartite Summit in Washington tomorrow, confident that, in addition to his undeniable popularity, he is supported by the anti-Yankeeism that has already sprouted millions of Mexicans.
It does not matter if Mexico gives way too much in the negotiations, nor the “brieffings” of North Americans and Canadians will surpass the images of a patriotic President who, for the first time, faces the powerful of the world.
He knows that it is not in anyone’s interest for the Summit to be disastrous, he will capitalize on the streak of anti-Yankeeism and, thanks to his image as President Patriota, he will be invulnerable to any negative information, since it will be said that “finally someone stopped them in their tracks.”
The Past or the Future, the PRI’s dilemma
In the coming weeks, to cite a classic, we will know what the PAN leaders and deputies are made of, to whom the National Palace speech reminded them of what the PRI’s bright times with Lázaro Cárdenas and Adolfo López Mateos believe.
Like the deity of two faces of the Romans, Jano, with one face that looks to the future and the other to the past, but this time the presidential premise perhaps deals with a more recent past, that of each of the PRI deputies and leaders during the peñismo.
They would have to look to the future, if the PRI is going to survive, but judging by the hesitations even of the coordinator Rubén Moreira, many people’s knees are shaking. It would be a disfigurement if Rosario Robles turned out to be more short and loyal.
They call to defend Morena, really?
Exalted, the national leader of the Official Party, Mario Delgado calls for organizing to take to the streets to defend the party and all its causes, including the controversial Electricity Reform on hold.
He assures that the “Movement” is an instrument of struggle, of mobilization, which is very good, but the organization of defense committees throughout the Republic is not cheap, unless austerity ends where electoral demands begin.
In any case, the Official Party should beware, because excessive zeal can make the defense committees an instrument of repression, risky in any democracy, although what Delgado calls “the most important movement in the history of Mexico” governs it.
SWIRLING NOTES
It is clear that the Undersecretary of Health Hugo López Gatell is going to Washington because he is the one who has been in charge of the anti-Covid strategy of the Government of Mexico, but nothing to worry about, because it is possible that Biden will counter him with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the veteran North American specialist, the perfect antidote … One does not understand why some think that the National Palace will not want to provoke a constitutional crisis due to the resources denied to the INE … Unanimously, the plenary session of the Supreme Court of Justice overthrew the transitory that they called the “Zaldívar law” … Gilbert Keith Chesterton, the British writer warns us: “To enter the realm of facts is to enter the world of limits. You can free a tiger from its cage, but not from its spotted skin ”…
