To-do list for the triumphant Corcholata

Realistic, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador explained that 18 months and three weeks from the end of the six-year term and with a presidential election in between, there will be no time for the reforms that the revolution of consciences needs.

Pragmatic, the President, promised to enlist them for whoever wins the Great Survey and Morena’s presidential candidacy, so that, once in the National Palace, he can complete the task.

But, and if the environment changes and the victorious Corcholata cannot carry out all the reforms, perhaps in 2024 from Palenque they would repeat the sad circumstances suffered by some Presidents of the Republic a century ago? In the 21st century?

Powers fight for constitutional guarantee

The dispute between the Executive Power and the Judiciary has intensified since Arturo Zaldívar left the presidency of the Supreme Court of Justice, but it is unusual for his replacement, Norma Piña, to face a personalized presidential offensive.

It has been said in this generous space of El Economista that all the Presidents have had claims for judicial rulings, but none had ordered criminal proceedings against the judges who issued them.

An additional piece of information, in 1939 the Pact between Hitler and Stalin was still in force, supported by all the leftists in the world. He chose Manuel Ávila Camacho. History and the outcome of the Second War proved him right.

SWIRLING NOTES

With skill, the Secretary of the Economy, Raquel Buenrostro, has managed to deal with the impatience of Mrs. Tai, the US trade representative, over the issue of yellow corn. We will see how the new round of consultations goes through at a time that, now, is already beginning to be electoral politics for the White House… By the way, the bad news is that the production of white corn in Mexico has dropped, we will have to import something additional to the 17 tons of yellow corn that is expected to be purchased this year from the United States… The kidnapping of four Americans in Matamoros, Tamaulipas is not minor. They would be wrong to leave the case to Governor Américo Villarreal… Why does Sedena control the steel that is withdrawn from the canceled Texcoco Airport? Mind you, it’s a question… The Austrian novelist Franz Werfel portrayed the current “stellar times” like this: “For those who believe, no explanation is necessary; for those who do not believe, all explanations are superfluous”…
