Why provoke a constitutional crisis?

Why provoke a constitutional crisis?

Next Tuesday, when the plenary session of the Supreme Court discusses Minister Juan Luis González Alcántara’s project to elect Ministers, but not federal judges, a process will begin that could become a constitutional crisis.

This seems to be the direction of the disagreement between the Executive and Legislative branches with the Judicial Branch, since the approval of the “constitutional supremacy” that retroactively applies the reform seeks the total demolition of the current justice system.

Paradoxical that, as part of the poisonous legacy of former President Lopez Obrador, the current Government of the Republic, only in its second month in power, for whatever reasons, must deal with a constitutional crisis whose balance will reduce the Judiciary to ashes.

Who rules the majority in Congress?

If in the Chamber of Deputies the qualified majority must be 334 votes, and the ruling party has at least 364, why did they have to cheat to achieve the qualified majority that approved the so-called “constitutional supremacy”?

It turns out that there were “ghost votes”, like that of the union member Pedro Haces, whose vote appeared on the board, without him knowing it, since he was abroad and, even so, they barely added up to 340 votes.

Perhaps the leaders of the ruling parties do not have the strength to maintain the most basic discipline among their deputies. Are there already outbreaks of the undisciplined tribalism that made the PRD ointment in the ruling party?

Electoral Reform: To Bucareli, to Bucareli!

In the Chamber of Deputies, a commission has been formed to begin the legislative process that would culminate in a Reform, with which the ruling party is preparing to dismantle the electoral system of the consensual democratic transition of almost 30 years ago.

One does not understand why settle for eliminating re-election, shrinking the INE, eliminating re-election and multi-member seats and removing prerogatives, because if, as in the entire IV-T political project, you want to save, there are quicker solutions.

If we go by the Imperial Presidency of 70 years ago, let us immolate expensive institutions on the altar of sacrosanct austerity and, as in the golden years, from the Covián Palace in Bucareli, a Federal Electoral Commission is in charge of the elections. Good, effective and cheap.

SWIRLING NOTES

Malquerantes, I suppose, affirm that the head of the SHCP Rogelio Ramírez de la O, for budgetary reasons, would not be bothered if next June there were no elections of judges… At the G-20 meeting, President Claudia Sheinbaum will have the opportunity to explain the investment opportunities that will be offered to private investors in the energy sector… By the way, will the Morenista majority have the energy to legislatively process the Government’s security and restructuring initiatives than that applied to the López Obrador laws?… The Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente said that Mexico is prepared for any scenario resulting from the United States presidential election. Good. We must be optimistic and prepare for the worst… Epictetus of Phrygia, Greco-Latin philosopher left this current lesson of governance almost 20 centuries ago: “Just as there is an art of speaking well, there is an art of listening well”…
