rent to the absence of opposition in Mexico and of political organizations that serve as a counterweight to the group in power, there are many attempts that have been made to confuse a sector of the population that does not agree with the Fourth Transformation, but that knows it is not represented by another option, because it does not exist. pink tide It is the latest name of an organization that uses fear and hatred to summon, through lies and ominous cries, citizens who are as disoriented as they are misinformed and who share hatred and prejudices as old as the destruction of Tenochtitlan.
Before calling yourself pink tidethey called themselves, for example, Yes X Mexico
, Go for Mexico
, United for Mexico
and in addition to the absence of a project, they share a common denominator, the brand X
by Mr. Claudio X. It is the same failed and repeated attempt to close ranks against the Fourth Transformation that stubbornly aims to achieve different results than those obtained with previous failed experiences. It is made up differently, but plays the same role, changes its name, its logo, but that is all, the rest is the same, the same X
rolled around.
If we add the failed attempts that the opposition has had to create alliances: Tumor, Futuro 21, Frenaaa, the entire franchise X
Mexico Awakens, Civil Society Mexico, the pink tideamong others, we can gather more attempts at alliances than states governed, and although this may sound like a joke, it is not, it is far from being one because in every democracy a true opposition is necessary, a serious counterweight that supports, proposes and represents citizen interests, not elites. The role of a responsible opposition is fundamental in the democratic exercise, it must be, from its trenches, a balancing force that supports development; to do so, it must present alternatives and promote dialogue.
Those who fight for the country from the opposition must be very clear that the defeat suffered in previous elections, the one that was precisely the opposition’s, is the popular will and a response to the absence of a national project accompanied by the weariness of the citizenry with the normalization of a political class that used public service to serve itself. Based on the above, the responsibility of a serious opposition is to build a project with a social sense. No matter how many alliances it inaugurates in cocktail parties with high-sounding participants and ominous speeches, it should recognize its role in the past and assume that it lost, in order to then stop evading the fact that this country is being transformed by the popular will, and that it would be expected that, from their ideology and positions, they would join in this change that the people mandated.
Beyond likes and dislikes, or being left or right, nothing justifies the desire for a government to fail, which would affect everyone: rich and poor, those who live in the countryside and in large cities. The true opposition does not hinder or torpedo government actions or programs with the sole intention of sabotaging its political rival or benefiting interests other than sovereign interests; on the contrary, it proposes alternatives that build and do not defame.
Beyond the mockery, which has been given a lot and it is no secret that it is very funny, it is worrying to witness the funeral of the PRD, the desperate attempt of the PRI to disappear, self-devoured by its leaders, or the obstinacy of the PAN to not recognize its democratic deficit and continue exactly on the same path that so damaged not only its organization, but the country.
And meanwhile, the pink wave goes there to demand that the INE be touched after having shouted that it should not be touched, to demand democracy while trying to snatch the decision of the people in the ballot boxes of a qualified majority in Congress at the time when, at the height of incoherence, and despite its fatal and illegal results, it applauds the reelection of Alejandro Moreno in the PRI. I do not see the PAN turning to the citizens and calling for an open election to renew itself. The opposition persists in blaming the social programs that they despise for their electoral defeat, instead of reflecting on how they have been triggers of development and catalysts of rights.
