The Summit: facts are love…

Although with different perspectives, but Presidents López Obrador and Biden have a common interest in the immigration problem, even if it is only to alleviate its effects, since they know that it is unrealistic to think of solving it today and now.

This has made it easier to build bridges to attend to the other issues on the agenda of the Summit that brings together the leaders of Mexico, the United States and Canada, although the unusual and disturbing US electoral political context will weigh.

In any case, in the end, it is not the narratives intended for the political clienteles of each of the parties that matter, but the commonly agreed actions. As rarely, the old saying that facts are love, not good reasons, applies.

Sinaloa, the high cost of inaction

Eduardo Ruiz Healy was right when in these pages of El Economista he argued that the arrest of Ovidio Guzmán will not make a dent in organized crime, since it already has a structure as complex as that of a large business consortium.

The US policy of capturing attractive media characters that resulted in the “Calderón war”, as well as the current one of “hugs not bullets”, gave them time to create specialized divisions as a real transnational company.

Let us take note, then, that if capturing the director of a division of the corporate Sinaloa Cartel cost so many lives, each day that Lopez Obrador’s “laizzes faire” policy continues, the cost in blood to contain the expansion of organized crime in the Republic increases.

The vulnerability of governing CDMX

Historically, for the rulers of CDMX (formerly DF) it has always been an advantage, but it also makes them vulnerable, because the size of the Metropolis means that there are many, too many fronts to cover and every incident has national repercussions.

Although Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum, head of government of CDMX, has had the support of the Palace, if the President wants to help her, he has to give her more financial room to maneuver to address the problems of the capital of the Republic.

Whoever writes this has the impression that he is paying the cost of the “republican austerity” that affects the capital’s infrastructure and, with so many willing to derail it, if Palacio does not change now, then it could be too late.

SWIRLING NOTES

The director of the Financial Intelligence Unit Pablo Gómez, bored, is now coordinating with Ignacio Mier, the coordinator of the representatives of the Official Party, to refine the process by which the four new directors for the National Electoral Institute will be selected. In that field it is like a fish in water… In the whole world it is the same. For several days, when they learned that President Biden would be in El Paso, Texas on Sunday, the repatriation of illegal migrants who were camping in the streets has been accelerated. The majority are already in Ciudad Juárez… The UNAM is already preparing new and strict rules for professional theses… It is so much the control of the National Palace over the 22 Morenista governors that they frequently issue orders that make them look much alike, more than usual. convenient, to the Political Leaders of the porfirismo… Since the 18th century, the Irishman Edmund Burke left us this pertinent warning: “For evil to triumph, it is only necessary that the good do nothing”…
