- Please, for the presidential election of 2024 let’s fantasize but let’s not be wrong!
- The shrill cry is #EfectiveSuffrageNoReelection!
- What can 200 years of Mexican history tell us about the election of governmental leaders?
Preamble
Daniel Cosío Villegas (QPD) renowned political scientist came to research, define, To imagineuntil fantasize about candidate selection process of PRI in the decades of the 50’s to 70’s, where he points out in his book “The Mexican Political System” the next: “But certainly in 1964, Mexican politics reached an incredible degree of perfection, especially in terms of what political scientists call “Decision Making Process”( Decision-making process) and that becomes a little less than impenetrable mystery; there is speculation of a consensus among the former presidents who at that time were in a position to give their opinion; Cosio Villegas, Add: Finding the facts that can establish a rational explanation is the main occupation and concern of those who study a given phenomenon, but like the political scientist that examines our public life fails to discover what determines the presidential succession, Far from giving up rationally explaining it, he throws himself into supposition and fantasy.” (end quote)… and in our case UNITS What organized civil society that is what we will now forge, not to dream but to really sail in safe waters or we will surely go to the shipwreck.
Mexico has in 200 years various experiences in the promotion of candidates to presidents of the republic, covering the years of 1824 to 2024. In the following link we can see the 82 Presidents that Mexico has had (some repeating), warning from the first president Guadalupe Victoria who was from 1824-1829, going by Alvaro Obregon 1920-1924, who was assassinated on July 17, 1928 when re-elected that year for a second term as president of Mexico, until reaching Lopez Obrador 2018-2024.
In between those 200 years in Mexican history, the choice either imposition of government leaders has gone through all the formats or mechanisms imagined, from the one referred to the monarchy of Maximilian of Habsburg(Regency of the Mexican Empire), passing through that of warlordstouching the finger institutionalized starting with Miguel Aleman Valdezthe so-called “puppy of the Revolution” for being preferred by the revolutionary generals in Mexico.
The new period of presidential elections with civil candidates, was presented in a tricky way of 1946 to 1988 culminating in the aforementioned election of Carlos Salinas de Gortariin which with the support of Manuel Bartlett, the great fraud was raised until reaching the tints of a nascent democracy in the year 2000 with the democratic election and sweeping of a right-wing party candidate (BREAD), endorsing the same party its triumph in the 2006and returning to another candidate with a supposed center-left ideology (PRI) in the 2012 to finally confirm a one hundred percent democratic process in the 2018 with a candidate from a party of apparent socialist ideology or also called leftist (BRUNETTE), which actually governs under populist principles.
In order to have an idea of the ideal president, try to make a mix of these characters and concluding with a profile, it would be for these purposes an unproductive exercise that would not lead us to great results, it could confirm topics such as: ages, demographic origin, previous studies, ideologies, marital status, causes of death, reasons for re-election or resignation, Zodiac signand others.
The proposal for recruitment and selection.
The intention of this text is to give an opinion as citizens and connoisseurs of the processes of recruitment and selection of managers in public, business organizations, as well as civil society, which keep some similarities medullary in key elements of the process to specify a precise choice of the candidate and possible president of Mexico for the period 2024-2030.
Experience as recruiters tells us that there are key indicators that are standard in a recruitment and selection process (RYS), and we will deal with it succinctly in this brief space, where we will make a methodical mix of ideas from this human resources practice in which, in our opinion, there are three phases What are they elementals and that they have allowed us perform successful recruitments and selections:
- Establish the generalities of the process.
- Understanding of the context.
- Process execution.
- Establish the generalities of the process.
The generalities of the process rys, support of a good result, are the following:
- Determine the time available: there will always be stages or results that must be covered in a certain time, In the case of nomination of candidates and presidential election, they are those established in laws and regulations established at the national level. constitutional and those of the National Electoral Institute (INE).
- Determine the bases of the work to be developed by he or them recruitersas well as the selectors Y decision makers end of the process (can be one or several committees that participate in the selection process and final decision), as well as define the tools physical and digital to use, the databases and contacts which will be used information and research centersthe test to apply, define Own process to develop, clarify their concluding times and other aspects.
- Determine confidentiality agreements before, during and after the process. This phase is intended to protect certain information that must be provided in the course of the relationship, whether with project leaders, recruiters, evaluators, decision makers and anyone who directly participates in the process of RYSespecially when it is confidential.
- Understanding the context of the RYS.
This refers, among other aspects, to the environment that the participants in the process will face, including the candidate in a relevant way, this is limited to the following (see image).
In a relevant way we mark knowing the powers and duties of the President referred to in the article 89 of the constitution and the article 82 which establishes what does it take to be president.
The purpose of understanding as well as planning and organizing the process of RYS is to have the primordial elements that make it possible to determine and specify the existence of a alignment almost perfect between the organization (country and its needs) the candidate and possible president.
The topics to be pointed out, among others, are: culture, ideology, vision of the country and the world, its values and integrity, their virtues, their strategies, their understanding of basic needs, and other issues of their personality, their charisma, ability to connect and communicate with people from all levels of society, with members of groups of the factual powers (national and international institutions related to business, finance, churches, media and others.). All this to allow him as a candidate to be accepted by the voters and as president-elect to achieve his maintenance and productive balance in time and space.
- Execution of the RYS process.
As recruiters we know that better indicators to recruit and select are four: experience, results, reputation or image and integrity of the candidate, without these four elements it will be difficult to incorporate a person into a position in any body public, private Or the civil society.
What has been referred to is based on what has been previously indicated, in the knowledge Y experience that we have in the process of executive recruitment and selection (RYS)which without being the same as the selection of public officials, the methodology pays ideas in this area as dark as the politics; In the end, we can trust that if we continue to live in a free and democratic system, the weight of each vote citizen and of the civil society UNITSwill be final, as long as we maintain impartial institutions such as ours.
