More Dangerous than the PRI

More Dangerous than the PRI

Caprine Dispersion

By: Erreh Svaia

In the first act, of a very bad work of theater, we saw a political party, National Regeneration Movement (Morena), with a majority in the Senate and the current party in power, refusing to give license to the today Senator, former Governor of Chiapas, Manuel Velasco of the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM) to become the interim "substitute" for himself (surrealism starts here), which seemed a "different" decision, completely congruent with the opposition position that Morena exercised during the previous legislature, in a matter of hours it became a great disappointment for many, who voted in July for an option they saw as "different", those who took less than a week to protest the interests of the nation and to serve them, they gave a further sign that the only interests they seek to safeguard are those of their party and leader, in a disconcerting turn, those who opposed, aligned themselves quickly to the changing of the signal, obviously dictated by the party's leadership, Ricardo Monreal, a skillful operator and a submissive follower, quickly altered his position and offered a shameful speech in favor of granting Velasco a license, the true nature of the ruling party today was quickly revealed, something that should come as no surprise to those who have observed Morena "picking up" the old allies of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the Workers Party (PT) and the Social Encounter Party (PES), yesterday touched the turn to ally with a former ally of the PRI, the PVEM (opportunist friend of those in power, like the National Action Party, PAN, the PRI and now Morena), to consolidate a position far from the old party in power, that announced with hype and saucer "fourth transformation", which in the end meant nothing more than a nice phrase to sell to the voters (since Andrés López himself summoned a student is of Political Science define something that he sold without further explanation to his deluded followers), it turns out to be something very similar to a fourth transformation of the old "dictatorship in power", described by the Nobel Prize Mario Vargas Llosa, or perhaps worse , since Morena, a party that now seems to add the authoritarian, hegemonic and corporatist essence of the old PRI, adds one by one to the allies of the new PRI (Alfonso Romo, PT, PES, PVEM, Elba Esther Gordillo, etc.) and It becomes a major threat to the incipient democratic life of the country.

Today the "fourth transformation of the country" really reveals itself as the fourth transformation of the PRI, this time under the name of Morena, we see one of the main architects of the old PRIism, Porfirio Muñoz Ledo, assume the presidency of the Senate, we see one of the key members of the turn towards the "new PRIism", Manuel Bartlett assume the ownership of the Federal Electricity Commission, we see opportunists of past administrations as Alfonso Romo, add Morena as his third political opportunity (before he was allied with the PRI and with the PAN), and in turn we see Morena forming a conglomerate of currents as diverse as those that inhabited the PRI, and that became "political currents" within the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), we see the same old practices of complicity begin to occur within Morena and reflected yesterday in the Senate, political expediency, opportunism, complicity, and does not frighten or surprise see what we expected to happen, what was obvious that would happen, what many dreamers denied a few months ago, and that yesterday they were swallowing the hook, and today, today they just keep quiet, waiting for a new signal that comes from above to justify the unjustifiable, to bear the shame and swallow more crap, unable to accept their mistake, that shame and that stubbornness is the one that does not let them see that they have voted for a hook, not for a hope, not for a change, they have voted for a reconfiguration of the "perfect dictatorship", one that can be worse, since it has learned from its past mistakes and will do everything possible to conserve power, behind the ideologies, the left, the right, there are only the desire to maintain power at all costs, without shame, without pain, perpetuate in power is the slogan, give and receive favors to strengthen complicity is the task, what we saw yesterday is worthy of a film by director Luis Buñuel, pure surrealism, a further disappointment for those who sought to "remove" the PRI from power, but who were so deluded in thinking that a former PRIist was going to save them from the PRI, it has already happened in Nuevo León, now its happening nationally, we do not learn, for there to be disillusionment, it is necessary to be blind belief in the first place, if it looks like the PRI, it acts like the PRI, and it moves like the PRI, do not hesitate, it is the PRI, whatever it is called.
