It is totally true what President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said in the sense that he is not concerned about the remarks of the United States Ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, regarding the pernicious implications that the energy counter-reform has on US companies that have invested in Mexico.
Surely it will not make a dent in López Obrador what the president of the United States, Joe Biden, and the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, have to complain about next week at the meeting that the three will have in Washington. DC.
López Obrador already said that “he is going to explain to Biden” why he is proposing this counter-reform in the electricity sector, but also with scope in the oil and mining industries.
Unless there is an articulated claim from the two northern countries, with a list of possible negative consequences for Mexico if the insistence on affecting private investments continues. Just like that, there could be some kind of reversal of the 4T. Otherwise, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador cares little what the ambassador and even President Biden say.
But in this counter-reform, which threatens to throw the country back 50 years in energy matters and generate international conflicts and multimillion-dollar compensation, it should concern those who today play with the key of being the closed door to this barbarity or the entry way to that nosedive ride.
The first who should listen carefully to what Ambassador Ken Salazar says are the legislators of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, because they should care what the United States has to say.
The PRI knows itself to be the faithful of the balance and although they could receive threats to jump on the side of the counter-reform, they should be clear about the irreparable damage that they can cause. For now, they take political advantage of the issue.
It was poetic that “have to learn” that the leader of this party, Alejandro Moreno, prescribed after warning that, if the obedient majority of the President does not listen to the opposition in the current budget discussion, there will be no electricity reform.
And no, Morena and satellites that accompany him are not going to listen to the opposition, but neither should there be any margin for the PRI members so that this energy counter-reform could be approved.
It is clear that the counter-reform is not invisible or ignored by the United States, Ambassador Salazar has made it clear on two occasions, and at the November 18 summit in Washington DC that there is no doubt that the issue will be central to the other two commercial partners of Mexico.
We have already seen Q4 radicalize and we have seen how President López Obrador would seem not to mind raising the tone until the confrontation.
But it should not happen to the rest of the economic sectors and the political parties in the opposition at night how they raise their voices from the north. They will not want these feuds in the future if they hope to one day return to power.
