Magic and spell of the surveys

As an act of masterful sleight of hand, the magical arts of the sorcerers of “the fourth transformation” want to make society believe that through the polls “the people” will decide the presidential candidacy of the official Party.

And the exegetes of presidential thought take advantage of the, they say, “surprising” candidacy of Senator Armando Guadiana for governor of Coahuila, to try to convince that “the polls do decide.”

The magic of the great sorcerer is to make believe that the polls will decide Morena’s presidential candidacy. Moonshine. As in the last century, only President López Obrador will say to whom he hands over the torch of his political legacy.

SCJN: his litmus test is coming

It is possible that the last report of the President of the Supreme Court Arturo Zaldívar was not what he supposed two years ago, but perhaps it has been better, since he has had the opportunity to be the minister he always wanted,

Yesterday he said that his legacy is a judiciary that is strong in its autonomy, it is possible, but it will not be until Minister Zaldívar’s replacement has been elected when we will know if the Court will pass the acid test.

Because the litmus test will be resisting an Executive willing to break the laws and even the Constitution itself in order to achieve its ideological and political objectives. Trial by fire because the Court is probably the last line of defense.

Famine, the unpredictable variable

When so much of what happens in the economic sphere depends on events and trends abroad, the irrepressible shortage will be a variable whose effects can even affect the electoral sphere.

Strictly speaking, the Government of the Republic is not entirely to blame for the damage that high prices cause to family economies, but when ordinary Mexicans become poorer they usually blame the government in power.

The official optimistic narrative will not suffice, even if reluctantly they will have to take actions to rectify public policies, keeping in mind that for ordinary citizens a blow to the pocket hurts more than one to the crotch.

SWIRLING NOTES

Tireless, the Government of CDMX is preparing a law on commercial establishments that will remove powers from the mayors. Political measure, yes. It is their right, but everything done against the opposition mayoralties barely stays in the red circle, ordinary citizens have other priorities… What was missing, now we will have science and technology whose investigations and decisions will be subject to to voting by show of hands even from employees of the sector’s mayor. No, yes… It was obvious, Banco de México had to raise the interest rate by half a point, even though the Palace was upset… By the way, the idea of ​​founding a kind of European Union that includes all of America seems to forget that such an organization requires countries to cede much of their sovereignty. Would Mexico accept the authority of an American Parliament over the Powers of the Union?… If the coordinator of the Morenista deputies Ignacio Mier acts with discreet efficiency, it is possible that his political future has improved… Thus, it is worth repeating one Phrase by Mariano Paredes y Arrillaga: “children are deceived with toys, peoples with words”…
