Everyone agrees that the 15 million votes in favor of the President of the consultation for the revocation constitute the hard vote of the militancy of the National Regeneration Movement.
They also affirm that those 15 million are the floor from which accounts can be made for the election of the Morena presidential candidate, but that does not mean that the presidential candidate can believe that hard vote is theirs.
The good or the bad is that those millions of voters went to the polls for the President. Good news for Palacio, bad news for the groups, factions and tribes of Morena, they discovered that they are still nothing without the President.
Will they let the opposition vote on Sunday?
The last-minute maneuver forced the cancellation of the marches called by related groups and obviously controlled by the Official Party to surround the Legislative Palace of San Lázaro.
We will find out next Sunday if these “popular” demonstrations carry out their threat to prevent opposition deputies from entering the Chamber of Deputies. “We are different,” Ignacio Mier said when denying such a blockade.
Perhaps, but let’s not forget that in 2006 they took over the Chamber and almost provoked a constitutional crisis, or the violent disorders in 2012. It is valid in politics, yes, but don’t tell us that those actions were alien to them.
Retro visions of 4T fans
Perhaps those who affirm that the calls for the PRI members to return to their revolutionary origins actually reflect a retro vision of what the Party in Government should be like, of what Morena should be like, are right.
Only ignorance of history explains why statements that reflect the thoughts of characters from the Official Party who, being young, yearn for the past, go almost unnoticed.
“We will ask the President not to go to Palenque when his term ends, but to stay and accompany the Movement,” said Citlalli Hernández. Did you know that he asked you to act as Plutarco Elías Calles 93 years ago?
SWIRL NOTES
Yesterday’s message, April 12, from President Andrés Manuel López Obrador was one of optimism, as any report from a ruler in a democratic nation should be. It is stupid to expect self-criticism. That would indeed be a global exception… Alejandro Encinas will say what he wants, but the UN report on the disappearances, although he attributes it mostly to organized crime, also denounces that impunity encourages it and that impunity is indeed the government’s fault. If someone was attentive in Foreign Relations, they will not say so, of course, but they will report the concern of an affirmation by the Massachusetts judge who judges the lawsuit of Mexico against arms manufacturers. “I am concerned that this litigation will open the door to similar lawsuits from other nations, even Russia.” Oops!…Mon dieu! Lobbyists in San Lazaro! Nothing new, the scandalous thing is that they lobby against the electrical reform. Capital sin… Wise warning from Winston Churchill: “Politics is more dangerous than war, because in war you only die once”…
