As a visual metaphor, use the episode known as Acatempan’s embrace to summarize the pact that sealed the pardon of the Political Coordination Board to Santiago Creel Miranda it is very unfortunate and ungrateful On the part of the PAN member, evaluated the president of the Culture Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, Carlos Ortiz Tejeda (Morena).

It’s not a failed act of Creel’s, it’s in his mind. In Thursday’s farce, he assumed himself as (Agustín de) Iturbide, several times a traitorhe stated in an interview.

That day, at a joint press conference, Creel and the leader of Morena, Ignacio Mier, reported that the coordinators had decided to give priority to politics and reject the requests for the removal of the president from the board of directors for negotiating the entry of armed soldiers into the compound on First of February.

Creel and Mier embraced, which gave rise to the expression of the baker from the embrace of legislative Acatempan.

In this regard, Ortiz Tejeda cited that the historian Patricia Galeana doubts that the meeting between Iturbide and Vicente Guerrero took place, because, she added, the head of the insurgency he mistrusted, and rightly so, the commander of the royalist forces.

He pointed out that, according to Galeana, Guerrero did not attend the meeting, but sent a subordinate. Beyond this point, only an ignoramus, who is totally unaware of the history of Mexico, can bring up the famous hug, which history has made shine as an episode where forces were combined.

However, the true substratum of that gesture is betrayal. Creel chooses the role for him, he is the imperialist backstabber, he assigned it to him. A complete historical mockery.

He recalled that one of Alfonso Reyes’ maxims was that those who do not know the history of Mexico are foreigners in their own country. I would love for Creel to be the PAN presidential candidate, he is ignorant, absolutely ridiculous, overacted, he may know a lot about commercial and banking law, but not about Mexican history.

In the February 2 session, Ortiz Tejeda expressed – in the midst of the claims of Morena and PT to Creel – that the removal of the PAN member should not be requested, so as not to victimize him.

For the president of the Culture Commission, the panista He takes advantage of the fact that his party, which doesn’t have much to choose from, placed him as president of the chamber because he was Secretary of the Interior, but he is weak. He complied with the agreement and that he continues in office, but we will be watching him.
