An optimist is said to be an ill-informed pessimist. Our country is divided between the optimists who support López Obrador and the pessimists who see everything wrong with the current government.
I am not optimistic about what is happening, but I am not like the pessimists who think that we are on the brink of the economic cliff and the dictatorship.
I am not like the pessimists who believe that those who support López Obrador are wrong or misinformed, I believe that for the people who have the least, their only option is to continue believing in the government.
I agree with the pessimists that these three years have not been good for anyone, but what reason did López Obrador have when he said that the pandemic fell like a glove? People are optimistic and do not blame them for the pandemic, they feel that the economy and employment are going to improve and it is thanks to the government’s action.
I agree with the pessimists that the 6% growth this year is very bad in a comparative analysis with other countries and with the fall we had last year, but people live in the present and this year is better than what we faced the year last.
Regarding security, I also agree with the pessimists that the results are bad, since the number of homicides and crimes is still very high, but the presence of the national guard throughout the country is making people feel safer and that it also contributes to López Obrador’s growing popularity.
I differ from the pessimists who believe that López Obrador’s popularity is going to fall, I think that the remainder of the six-year term will be maintained, both because the economy and employment are going to grow, and because social programs are going to be maintained and the great projects of the six-year term are going to be completed in these 3 years.
Against what the pessimists think, I believe that López Obrador is going to end the six-year term very strong and his weight in the elections may be definitive if we do not create awareness that it is a lost six-year term and offer an alternative that is attractive to the entire population.
I agree with the pessimists that this six-year term, whatever is done, is lost in the economy, employment, the fight against poverty, support for health, education and security, but the people, as I said, live the day, not the past, and each day of the remainder of the six-year term will be better.
My experience is that an election is not won by criticizing the current government, especially if it is as popular as the current one, but with a better proposal. It is not going to be possible to win over López Obrador and Morena by criticizing them, but by elaborating a proposal that offers an improvement to the people and gives them a reason to vote for the opposition.
We have three years left, I am not pessimistic, but if we want to win in 2024, the first thing we have to do is understand why people continue to support it and change our discourse from criticism to proposal.
