In the event that they have been going to throw all of the meat on the grill, it was yesterday. Hundreds upon hundreds took over squares (primarily the Zócalo of the capital) in a rally that was not so rosy as a result of now, extra actually, it was seen because it at all times was: an effort by Claudio X. González, the PRI, the PAN and the PRD.
The mobilization preceded the final presidential debate, the place Xóchitl Gálvez as soon as once more changed intelligence potentialities with calculated insults. Unhealthy dangerous. He was by no means capable of promote a single thought, if any, about his undertaking.
The vital factor, it appears to me, is that the Mexican proper has already shaped itself and managed to convey collectively not solely crowds, however the perfect of their subject: Claudio X. González and Beatriz Pagés, José Woldenberg and Lorenzo Córdova, Héctor Aguilar Camín and Enrique Krauze, Carlos Alazraki and Roberto Madrazo, Sergio Sarmiento and Ricardo Salinas Pliego, Vicente Fox and Margarita Zavala. And likewise “Alito” Moreno, Jesús Zambrano and Marko Cortés. And everybody who’s there even when they aren’t: drivers and drivers, businessmen and journalists; lecturers and artists; intellectuals and tweeters, scientists and musicians. The very best of the perfect, inside their ideological area. United over one trigger: for Xóchitl to be President.
The query that robotically arises is: and why is it not sufficient if there are such a lot of of them?
In fact there are numerous options and one doesn’t exclude the opposite. To grasp why it isn’t sufficient for them, they may begin with an thought: their dishonesty. They’ve been mendacity to Mexicans for many years and they’re mendacity to them with out their faces transferring an inch. They name themselves “residents” and put on pink to march as a result of they’re ashamed of their true colours regardless that they’ve at all times voted PRIAN. They name themselves “civil society” after they symbolize the pursuits of particular teams: the financial, educational, mental and media elites.
To grasp why it isn’t sufficient for them, have a look at their candidate, Xóchitl. They needed to promote it as a miracle product – Héctor Alejandro Quintanar would say – similar to they bought it to Enrique Peña Nieto. They could not. It turned out to be a fiasco as a result of it was a fiasco.
In an effort to perceive why it isn’t sufficient for them, they must see themselves for what they’re: remnants of a society of lambiscones and parasites; who hate López Obrador as a result of he pulled the feather from their pillow; who cling to the concept it’s attainable to dwell off others simply by saying that they “defend democracy”, “that it’s authoritarian drifting”, that “the dictator”.
It would not take a lot science to know why they aren’t sufficient. Tens of millions of us know who they’re. I’ve heard them name one another “thieves” and “youthful”; They whispered beneath their lapels, in different instances, about folks like María Amparo Casar and others who’re paid on 5 – 6 totally different salaries as a result of they faux to be journalists; as a result of they promote themselves as consultants in human rights or transparency. They take cash from public positions comparable to councilors or councilors of the INE or from “impartial” entities; by Conapred or the INAI or the IFAI or any of the various workplaces with multi-million greenback budgets created to dwell nicely by showing to be the defenders of the aged, kids, girls or the disabled. I’ve heard them criticize one another after which leeches one other.
To grasp why it isn’t sufficient for them, they need to begin by taking a look at themselves. Be sincere. See your self as you might be. We’ve fed them by mouth for thus lengthy that they do not even bend their elbows. And now they must go; They’ve to return out and defend the fraud that has assured them a great life. Now they must exit wearing pink regardless that they just like the black or rat grey colours they put on to the workplaces. They like the pink of the INE to the smelly yellow of the PRD, the smelly blue of the PAN, the smelly purple of the PRI. They usually’re proper: what cheesy colors. However, ultimately, they’re those who defend.
Yesterday they went out to march and I am glad as a result of many people have been marching for many years. Now they should march for actual causes; do not misinform your self; quit that Big-Caller life they lead, of self-deception and self-manipulation.
Perhaps the day they cease mendacity to themselves they’re going to begin to perceive why it isn’t sufficient for them anymore. As a result of it’s like this: it’s not sufficient for them.

The marketing campaign automobile is working the final lap and all the pieces is accelerating. Final week, the PRIAN urged Jorge Álvarez Máynez to surrender his presidential aspirations in order that he might add his votes (and sources) to the rosa-INE, the rosa-PIAN. He had already answered them and answered NO once more.
Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas, who enjoys sympathy from the correct who murdered his father, in a slipshod dance within the centre, tried to name on Máynez to resign. He did it with an interview after which with a message, each lukewarm, “conciliatory,” and all they did was enhance the stress on his get together with out a lot evaluation. The presidential candidate of the Citizen’s Motion is in second place in Nuevo León, the place Colosio needs to be a Senator: what would occur if Máynez resigned, as he suggests? It stays in limbo. All MC candidates can be left in limbo. However Colosio is moved by his advisers in direction of the PRIAN and it’s clear that he sympathizes with the PRIAN, and he doesn’t know that what he referred to as is definitely often called “political suicide. “
Final Tuesday, the correct lastly acknowledged that PRI, PAN and PRD have been at all times behind the “pink” mobilization. All of us knew that, anyway, however at the very least that act of offended honesty we noticed final week.
And all is nicely; Motion is a part of democracy. There are hundreds and hundreds of PRIAN sympathizers who by no means marched earlier than: it’s good that they’re now popping out to defend their concepts. The infantile factor is that they tried to cover behind the parades of Claudio X. González there have been at all times Alejandro Moreno, Marko Cortés, Jesús Zambrano and their operatives. Why make it cloudy? Why the twisted factor?
“There are solely two initiatives,” Xóchitl stated final week, repeating one thing López Obrador has stated time and time once more. And in that concept, the PRIAN places stress on Máynez as a result of MC, in his opinion, isn’t a undertaking.
The fact is that we’re experiencing a political earthquake; We’re witnessing, with out authorized reform being carried out, a reconstitution of the get together system and nobody (particularly within the opposition) is certain of their place.
The PRIAN is attempting to make the final effort whereas it’s falling aside and it’s proper that what occurs this Sunday, June 2, will change the future of Mexico for the subsequent years: I imagine that the PRD is disappearing and the PRI remains to be the important thing get together. . Morena, for his half, may very well be confirmed as a mass phenomenon, but additionally as a strong motion that can have two successive presidencies.
And the Citizen’s Motion deserves a separate evaluation.
That get together had an enormous alternative in 2023 and it slipped, for no matter causes. This may have an effect on his numbers within the 2024 election, though he won’t do badly: there are numerous voters who hate Morena and have been within the PRIAN as a result of there was no different possibility; Now, because it’s clear that Xóchitl is a foul candidate and will not win, they really feel empowered to maneuver in direction of much less poisonous choices. That is the place MC has to do some foresight. The orange get together can develop into a brand new right-wing possibility (dressed as a middle or no matter) that appeals to voters who, with the autumn of the PRIAN, may have nowhere to go.
It’s not sufficient for PRIAN even when it fills Zócalo as a result of even its voters know the way it was crammed this Sunday: with the “Alito”, the Marko and the Zambrano; with the Madrazo, the Beltrones, the Krauze and the Aguilar Camín; with the Claudio X. González and the Pagés; with the Woldenbergs and the Lorenzos; with the Alazraki, and the Sarmiento, and the Salinas Pliego, and the Fox, and the Margarita, and the Roger Bartra.
That’s, with traces of an period.
The PRIAN is already a bottomless barrel that can need to take in as many sources as it will possibly, from wherever, to attempt to compensate for its actuality: that it’s falling. A brand new alternative is opening up for the Citizen’s Motion; the third likelihood because the pre-campaigns. Will he perceive that he can develop into the brand new Mexican proper (or center-right or no matter you need to name himself) that may be nurtured (as he already is) with the PRIAN actions?
MC faces the chance that López Obrador had in establishing Morena with the forces of the PRD. Will he have the ability to overcome his dwarf get together complicated and develop into the brand new minority for Mexico to return?
Like AMLO with “Los Chuchos”, MC can go away these he would not need within the PRIAN, these he considers decadent, and maintain these he needs and type a brand new entrance. Will he perceive the second he lives in? Does MC actually perceive his alternative?

At this level, Andrés Manuel López Obrador had already launched a big a part of his group. He had launched an financial group to supply stability. They have been totally different instances. Claudia has not seen the necessity to current the Cupboard to reassure anybody.
Xóchitl might do it; there was an important alternative there. He did not and it was in all probability out of embarrassment. He did nicely. Think about: Alejandro Moreno for the Treasury, Marko Cortés for the Inside, Claudio X. González for Schooling, and Public Safety for Cabeza de Vaca or any of his numerous fugitives. What a factor.
No matter. What was going to occur has already occurred.
Only some days left. The arguments will hardly have an effect on decisions, I believe. It is getting darkish for these presidential elections, and June 3 might be a brand new day, tough for some, joyful for others and promising – hopefully – for almost all.
