A bittersweet halftime
Undoubtedly, the COVID-19 pandemic greatly slowed the national economy, but there are issues that directly impact citizens and no benefit is perceived with the Morenista in power.
The most sensitive issue, after the still excruciating poverty, is that of security. Since López Obrador came to power, until today and until last October 30, there have been 103,133 homicides, this figure shows the most violent triennium in the modern history of the country.
Among the fierce criticisms that the president and his government receive, is the strange relationship with the Army, since in the campaign he promised to return the military to the barracks in six months and today, these are his greatest support and he has more than 210,620 personnel deployed throughout the country. Something that was unthinkable, even for the most recalcitrant lopezobradoristas.
There are pending subjects such as the promise of 4% annual growth in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a situation far removed from our reality.
From the morning podium of his daily press conference, the president governs and opens the daily debate. With themes at times, totally different from one day to the next. A way of communicating that it has worked for you to impose the political issues of the moment.
But there is also a excess of prominence that has made him the center of attention of all Mexicans. That benefits his popularity, without a doubt, but it also has negative consequences, there is a natural wear and tear on his person, since any mistake his team makes will have to be paid for in the figure of the Executive.
