“Send me your impoverished masses…” read Emma Lazarus’s sonnet for the Statue of Liberty in New York. Due to its initial immigration policy, in 2018, the Government of Mexico only needed to print it and launch flyers about Central America.
The illusory López Obrador policy did not last long. The migrants rushing towards the Suchiate scared Donald Trump, who fine as he is, warned: “You stop them at your southern border or I charge you tariffs for what you sell to me.” Without saying a word, Mexico stopped them.
Fine, yes, but Biden demanded the same. The justified Mexican indignation did not matter. Palacio was confronted with the harsh reality: “If you don’t stop them in Suchiate, how do you deal with the humanitarian crisis of tens of thousands in the cities of your northern border?
Opposition, like parrots to towels
Cleverly encouraged from power, both in the PRI and in the PAN, they arise to the directives of the dissatisfied opposition alliance parties, eager to comply with that of “take off, so I can put on.”
Aware of the idiosyncrasy, the presidential ability leads to characters whose academic quality, preparation and talent instills in them the capacity for political analysis to conclude that “the opposition is a wasteland.”
But not everything is placid in the Palace, because the electoral political score masterfully written and better directed, as always, runs the risk of being disrupted because human ambitions can turn the process into a blacksmith.
Corpus Thursday: Memorable Presidents
Tomorrow marks the 51st anniversary of the violence of Corpus Christi 1971, when the death of students cost the position of the then-governor of the Federal District, Mr. Alfonso Martínez Domínguez.
A year earlier, when national PRI leader Martínez Domínguez intervened so that President Díaz Ordaz would not remove Luis Echeverría from the presidential candidacy. Díaz Ordaz told him: “Luis will not forgive him for witnessing his humiliation.”
On the night of June 10, 1971, President Echeverría proposed that Martínez Domínguez leave the DDF leadership “to facilitate the investigation of the tragedy.” He asked for leave and never returned to the post. Memorious, the presidents of Mexico.
Swirling Notes
Claridoso, the coordinator of the Morenoist majority in the Senate, Ricardo Monreal, has said loudly and dearly that he will seek the presidential candidacy of Morena, only of Morena. And yesterday he said he even had a government program… Now it turns out that the coordinator of the PRI caucus in the Chamber of Deputies, Rubén Moreira, says that they lost in Hidalgo for not being on the center left. Oh, oh, oh, oh… The suspense wizards of the Supreme Court of Justice postponed the ruling on the removal of immunity from the still governor of Tamaulipas, Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca. Total, if he leaves the post in September, then the day before his departure they will resolve. Coincidences?… The senators say that the provision of electricity is a human right. So, if they cut off my service for non-payment, do they violate my human rights?… The Frenchman Paul Valery reminds us that: “in politics, all decisions focus on painting the adversary as a fool or as a scoundrel.”
