Is Mexican politics in a downward spiral going back to the times of the General Plutarco Elias Calles, president of Mexico from 1924 to 1928? was nicknamed Maximum Chief of the Revolution due to his influence on post-revolutionary Mexican politics; today in 2022 the keys reveal that the president Lopez Obrador cement a “Maximum”, before this the question is : and what will civil society do? on a rocky road to the presidential elections on June 2, 2024.
It is very important to note that the maximate of Plutarco Elias Calles was a historical and political period in Mexico that spanned from 1928with the government of Emilio Portes-Gil as interim president of the country, until 1934with the beginning of the government of Lazaro Cardenas. Now 94 years later, in full XXI century and at the close of this six-year term inflated with promises of a supposed transformation, apparently the spirit of a maximate it has been retaken from the ashes, to be now hotter than the fire of the Holy Inquisition.
Some will say that “how is it possible that we affirm such a calamity” and the answer was evidenced by the fact that the past June 5, 2021exactly 3 years before the presidential elections, Lopez Obrador refers to two candidates Y a candidate manifestly uncovering them for the 2024 calling them “bottle caps” with the sole purpose of seeking and achieving in his favor against all odds, the presidency of the republic; and then at the time we ask What to look for with a Maximato?; This is where we think about two keys to the theme of succession in your interest of influence Y staysee in following image:
first key: Top concerns of an outgoing president.
How important to know in good faith what, in our opinion, are the two main concerns of the outgoing president. To strengthen this idea, we begin by saying that the selection either designation of a candidate to presidency of the republic, without a doubt it has been and will be a quite complex process and affected by a myriad of variables, some controllable by the president in turn, such is the case of the finger for the nomination, others by the powerful groups and many others by none of them.
To imagine that candidate selection decision and ensure his election in our country by the outgoing president, the best thing is, as we say colloquially, “put yourself in their shoes” – without this meaning that we agree -, and in this sense we have derived through research, conversations with experts, listening and reading political analysts, that The two most relevant variables or personal motivations to understand and decipher that decision are those that we include in the following image.
It is because of these two variables that we affirm without a doubt that the reason for influencing and deciding on the nomination of a candidate and the route to winning his presidential election is the urgent need to have a shielding of your project, in this case called Fourth Transformation and have a protective shell as outgoing president and all around him and this will only be achieved by ensuring that whoever occupies the presidency of the republic is involved with the project and loyal to it.
Second key: Challenge faced by an outgoing president in the uncovering.
Probably the choice Y uncover of “covered candidate” has had its time and form, being limited to the group in powerwithout ever having the possibility of arriving as a candidate for the presidency of the republic someone outside of it. Historically, the decision-making process has always haunts the corridors of the presidency of the republic.
On the other hand, and in the same tenor, we see with astonishment that, to put it clearly, the DNA of almost all the presidents in Mexico and here we include from Francisco I Maderountil Miguel of the Madridhave as a particularity the military origin.
In the case of the current process, the president has mentioned three people, including a woman, apparently she is the person most promoted and closest to him. Likewise, let us not forget that the candidacies and presidencies historically they have been covered in betrayals and even murders.
Thomas Fuller expressed: “The good archer is not judged by his arrows but by his aim”… Y the aim of decision makers in Mexico has been over and over again contaminated Y wrong.
Will AMLO continue to build his Maximato?
Definitely Lopez Obrador is motivated by the same desire of all the presidents of the archaic regime, from General Plutarco Elias Calles even the patriarch economist of neoliberalism in Mexico Carlos Salinas de Gortari to extend his mandate beyond his own government. With these affirmations we will continue seeking to reflect on keys that will mark the presidential succession for 2024, among which they lead us to perceive a essence with olive green color… this in reflection of the interference that the military already have in activities of civil society.
And in civil society, how will we act before a possible Maximato?
We will not sit idly by, on the one hand with political parties (all of them) without a clear definition in terms of their government proposals and candidacies, and on the other hand seeing a military parade pass with military boasting; let’s settle on #UnidadXMexico in a free and democratic way, (together with the political party or Alliance that requires it) predominantly with the support of the organizations of society, proposals and legal actions that allow directing two important actions already proposed in previous collaboration, with the subject “It is urgent to have an electoral option for Civil Society Mexico ¡SOS!” What are they:
- reach a nomination with great political seduction, with a government program that covers the entire population and its needs, that gives us the confidence to be successful in the 2024.
- Make aware Y cast our vote in the 2024 presidential election.
Reflection.
Our country faces a historical challenge as a nation, it navigates a crisis of global change and from there it is important to embark it towards a global conscience; It has already been said many times that Mexico it is immensely rich in natural resources and in its people, and has ended a six-year term with a looted one. It is because of the above We cannot and should not leave everything in the hands of politicians and rulers; together society and government we must dialogue through the differencesavoid a language rude, aggressive, discriminatory and that we will only achieve listening to us to each other, collaboratingwithout panicking, with strategic solutions and shared leadership in the face of great challenges, with maturity and awareness towards an evolution as a society as a whole in democracy and with freedom.
Definitely all together we can achieve the Mexico democratic, free and fair that we have always longed for and aspired to even if we are pointed out ambitious.
