It is commonplace to say that dialogue is always worthwhile, the reality is that sometimes it is not. The talks between the government and the PAN are doomed to failure, the president is not going to move a step (dixit: not a comma), from his positions on fundamental issues, in fact he has already told them that he expects the position to be less Radical and its legislators have the tools to decide whether or not to support the reform, and bear the political cost of their decision.
“I think dialogue is good, that they put down the extremist attitude of rejecting everything.”
Would a dialogue between Felipe Calderón and Andrés Manuel López Obrador have made sense during the PAN’s administration? Of course not, there are those who assure that there were private talks between Carlos Salinas de Gortari and Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas after the 1988 election, it is not to doubt it, the Engineer is cooked apart.
At the start there was already a winner, the Secretary of the Interior, Adán Augusto López Hernández, appointed by the president to lead the meetings. In the photos he appears with authority, if something is missing, it was complemented by PAN deputy Santiago Creel, who praised the openness of the Tabasco and even said that he gave them a warm treatment.
Now, what gives for speculation are the reasons why Santiago Creel took such pains to promote dialogue, there are those who believe that the PAN wants to have more options for the presidential candidacy, others that it is protecting their interests and that of their son , but also those who find their endeavor legitimate.
There is a piece of information that hardly transcends, at a distance or with closeness, there have long been links between the families of López Obrador and Santiago Creel due to the relationship between their children Andrés Manuel López Beltrán and María Creel Garza.
The truth is that Creel has capitalized on both times, both his request for dialogue and the meeting also attended by the head of the party and a couple of governors; his presence in the media was overwhelming, he was seen and heard in practically all the stands, large or small.
The agreement is that there will be dialogue tables, but what are they going to talk about? Is López Obrador going to stop polarizing? Will it give ground on energy and national guard reforms? Could it be that overnight expressions like fifís, neoliberals, conservatives disappear in the morning?
Furthermore, it is very difficult for the president to meet with the PAN members, he does not have empathy towards them, the defeat of 2006 does not disappear from his mind and it can be said that he has no problems meeting with the other parties, in fact with the PRI He has had frequent communication, but Felipe is in the PAN.
On the sidelines
One of the most unfortunate statements by President López Obrador was that of last Friday when he practically held the United States government and members of the UN responsible for the tragedy in Chiapas, absurd for someone who speaks daily about the defense of sovereignty. It is not necessary to give it much thought, the National Guard and the National Migration Institute are responsible and the causes lie in corruption and the supremacy of criminal groups around the migratory phenomenon.
The United States government and Joe Biden already have their own errors and omissions, which they resolve on their soil.
And how by when will the governments of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua be compelled to do what happens in their countries?
