Details of Palacio’s plan to prevent food inflation from corroding society’s purchasing power are missing, but it fits into the six-year premise that everything is seen through the lens of electoral politics.
Everything, they say, will depend on the calculations made by the SHCP to tell President Andrés Manuel López Obrador the budget margins for a program that will require money, a lot of money.
How much is available will depend on whether the support of the anti-inflation plan will be generalized or focused on only one sector of society. And the others? The others, as always, will have to deal with the crisis. C’est la vie.
Criminal gangs take root
Just as the criminal gangs that cut down forests are beginning to create their own timber market, they have also begun to create a parallel market to distribute food and groceries resulting from cargo transport robberies.
The complaints of the carriers sound almost normal, but in the graphs of the security authorities it is not recorded that the criminals have already created distribution chains and woe to the merchant who does not cooperate.
The optimism-colored graphics of the security meetings and their happy accounts will soon not hide reality and the official premises will burst when they collide with the real Mexico.

Realistically, the authorities simply dealt with the thousands of spies from around the world operating in Mexico, sometimes harshly, almost always content to prevent further damage to national stability.
That Mexico, like now, was not a colony of anyone, but without drama it accepted that geography placed it at the strategic crossroads of the interests of the powers that disputed global geopolitical hegemony. Like now.

And one remembers the phrase of the respected doctor Manuel Velasco Suárez: “don’t kill the wolf, because the story is over”… The actions of the Greenpeace organization against the work of the Mayan Train injects into the issue a variable not contemplated by the ruling party. .. The crash of three exhibitors falling at Cancun Airport Terminal 3 echoed throughout the airport and dozens of passengers were seen running with their luggage towards the parking lot. The false version of a shooting gives the measure of collective psychosis… If Sandra Cuevas stands in front of the two auxiliary police officers with a prickly nopal on her back and, kneeling, asks for forgiveness, will the CDMX prosecutor’s office accept the apology? … From the distance of 21 centuries Sallust warns us: “through harmony small states become great, while discord destroys the most powerful empires” …
