with great expectation The next government must firmly maintain the course of the 4T, not only to maintain the economic and social development of the Mexican population, but also to continue the cultural transformation of future generations.
Political culture, which began to strengthen in the general population a few decades before 2018, will surely grow. In this way, we can say that we will have the citizen organization that will support the new government to confront those destructive currents of our national heritage.
The transformation of the country will continue. In fact, it is an ongoing task that began with the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and will not be suspended with the change of command in the Executive Branch. Let us hope that the government and the citizens work together, since the enemies of the nation are not small and are both outside and inside our society.
The six-year program will no longer be halted as in previous governments. Pending works will be completed and new ones will be developed, in accordance with the promise made by Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, president-elect, in her speech to present the certificate that confirmed her victory.
The labor movement, which originated on March 6, 1876 and led to the creation of the Permanent Workers Congress, and whose members have practically been forgotten, will revive the effort for union solidarity. At least that is what we hope for in the development of Mexican humanism.
We would no longer tolerate leaders like Fidel Velázquez, Luis Napoleón Morones, Víctor Flores Morales, Elba Esther Gordillo, Carlos Romero Deschamps and so many others who took refuge in the impunity granted to them by previous governments and who will have to be held accountable sooner or later.
Democratic union life, with justice and in compliance with the new laws that will protect the union more broadly, is, at the same time, a way to guarantee the development of this new political culture that we began in 2018.
We will have to continue living on permanent alert to defend national sovereignty. We cannot let our guard down at any time, since the permanent shadow of harassment by the United States governments towards ours continues and will continue to threaten the good neighborliness between the two countries for a long time.
Unfortunately, for now in the northern part of our continent we do not have Canada either, a country with the same neoliberal practices as its southern neighbor. However, during her campaign, Sheinbaum promised that the rescued Mexican diplomacy will continue to develop under Juarez principles: Between individuals as well as between nations, respect for the rights of others is peace.
.
The uncertainty is the same, whether Donald Trump, the conservative businessman and millionaire, owner of around 4.5 billion dollars (according to the magazine) triumphs Forbes) and a member of the Republican Party, or Kamala Harris, a supposedly progressive lawyer from the Democratic Party, whose personal assets are unknown at this time. The characteristics of both personalities do not favor us. We would like to be wrong.
Trump, with his homophobic, racist and despotic policies, is no guarantee that once he takes power he will maintain an attitude of respect towards the new government, and Harris will not care about her interference in Mexican affairs and her disregard for our country’s pacifist history. The Democratic candidate’s warmongering and hegemonic policies will continue. Frankly, because she is a woman, we do not believe that she will change even 18 degrees towards a new, less aggressive policy.
Like all right-wing movements in the world, impertinence and aggressiveness towards other nations are the hallmark of US foreign policy. Its frankness in declaring any lie against any progressive government goes from being a right to free opinion to the diplomacy of quarrelsome cynicism.
For example, we have an example. Recently, the Chinese government has denounced Washington’s intrusion in Mexican affairs. According to last Friday’s article in The DayAccording to Iván Evair Saldaña, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is the executive organization that acts in favor of US interests against national sovereignty and that of other countries. We do not know what human rights, what kind of democracy and freedom the United States and its hired thugs are defending.
It is no secret that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is an organization that has persecuted progressive leaders and activists in our country and around the world. Perhaps the CIA believes it is invisible to our people, but they have not wanted to realize that there is no evil that lasts a hundred years or cowards that can endure it. We already know them and they do not intimidate us.
