In the Workshop, he recommended his classmates read “Political Works”, by Nicolás Machiavelli, and commented how in other works such as ”The Art of War” by Sun Tzu or ”The Politician”, by José Martínez Ruiz, “Azorín” addresses all the circumstances experienced by those dedicated to politics and how to face them.
Last week, the Morena deputy was involved in a dispute with the leader of the Morena senators, Adán Augusto López, within the framework of the spending cut requested by the Senate, for 123 million pesos for 20125, as approved by the Chamber of Deputies.
In the senatorial gallery, López Hernández said that the reduction would be absorbed but accused that in the last administration of the Senate – led by Monreal – there were irregular contracts; He announced the termination of two, the presentation of complaints and the investigation of other “businesses”, which was rejected by Monreal, who summoned him to file the complaint.
However, that confrontation, at least verbal, ceased after on Monday both met with President Claudia Sheinbaum, the Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, and the Morenista leader Luisa María Alcalde.
Sheinbaum asked them for unity and to remember that they owe themselves to the “people.”
This Wednesday, with the argument of talking about Machiavelli and his work, Monreal mentioned: “it really does not change the essence of politics, because in politics you have to act honestly and with rectitude, even though the politician is subject to vicissitudes, The politician or politician now – we have to speak with inclusive language – is subject to palace intrigues, to the intrigues of your team and even your family.”
“He is subjected to blows and praise from those closest to him who later become detractors. Those are the great messages and that is why in life you have to resist.
“Those who are dedicated to politics must see these works, because along the way you will encounter all of them, including lies, insults or recognitions. And normally you should not leave pending an intrigue, a lie, a false accusation, that’s what ‘The Politician’ talks about and that’s what Machiavelli talks about. “Do not leave a file open, you have to close it,” he noted.
And that is why – added the leader of the Guindas deputies – “when people threaten to file a complaint, they have to finish the complaint and they have to conclude it so that it does not look bad in the eyes of the population. And whoever is accused must demand that the complaint be filed.”
With reference to the texts, he assured that if the complaint has false or weak bases and a complaint is not required, “it remains in the population’s scenario that it was true, when it was the product of a mechanism of machination or invention to damage the prestige of a person.”
The Reading Workshop has been running for five sessions and has 14 readings listed, so Monreal asked his deputies to read this end of the year.
