It’s clear: the government is going for everything. The concentration of power demonstrated by President Sheinbaum and her cohorts these days is a reminder – in case anyone has forgotten – that they have power and what little they didn’t have was taken away from them in a matter of months. Their own celebration of the president’s displays of power is remarkable. Protests that I imagine are aimed at Morena’s own activists who disagree with the president. It had already become clear to all of us that what we considered prudent and balanced, what encouraged dialogue or democratic coexistence, had no place in this mandate.
The “takeover of power” of the Prosecutor’s Office, “the quinazo”, the “turn of the helm” of the president were celebrated as if it were a devastating setback for the opponents when in reality it was an act that testified to the disaster that was the administration of justice in the era of López Obrador. The president already has everything he needs to act on security matters, for example, without any obstacles. No one, no president in modern times has accumulated as much power as Sheinbaum: under his command are the three powers, without any protest being able to reach the presidential ear. Here’s what it is: winner takes all.
We’ve repeated it ad nauseum: the 4T is a journey to the PRIism of the golden age. It was with López Obrador and it is now with Sheinbaum. Those who had confidence in the president’s left-wing party risk losing all hope. We thus moved in a few days from the supposedly autonomous prosecutor’s office to the prosecutor’s office subordinated to the presidency as in the past. Providing justice will be the mission of the new prosecutor, who has also made it clear that one of his goals is to try to play with the opposition. “There will be no impunity,” he declared in the Senate, looking clearly towards the opposition benches. And it has already started. The new prosecutor’s office is the framework in which opponents will be dealt with. Just this week, a member of the PRI was imprisoned – certainly a rapacious criminal – and it was announced that criminal proceedings would be initiated against the president of the association Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity. Of course, they removed the term “terrorist” from the Michoacán car bombing, so the drug traffickers wouldn’t get angry. Everything against opponents, against drug traffickers, as much as prudence allows.
Perhaps these two examples from Godoy provide ample satisfaction to the still bloodthirsty Morenism of the opposition and serve as a clear warning of what is to come. They’re not going to stop. November was a month to forget for the president. The country has become a powder keg of protests from all sides: from farmers and transporters to urban youth. And it’s not free. It wasn’t just November, the burden of citizens’ irritation comes from Morena’s corrupt summer. Months of endless scandals from the ruling party leadership have finally taken their toll. In the investigation of Enkoll And The country59% of the population disapproves of the way the president has tried to fight corruption.
It is possible that the incarceration of César Duarte, member of the PRI, and the persecution of the opponent María Amparo Casar are linked to the creation of scandals within the opposition. They want to replace the Duartes of the PRI with Adán Augusto and Pedro Haces. It’s a known fact: if they see you as a pig, the best thing to do is to smear your opponent so that they look like themselves. This is where we are: a quagmire is coming.
