Until the death separates us?

And it burst. They are separated. John Ackerman and Irma Erendira Sandoval, who love each other so much, divorced … Morena.
As with any good marriage that ends badly, the Ackerman-Sandovals struggle with the Fourth Transformation. The reason given by them is “abuse”.

John M. Ackerman blames the farewell to his Canal Once program and his La Jornada column for disagreements with Mario Delgado and other members of National Regeneration. His wife, in solidarity, is at his side and mourned on Twitter for his “beloved and respected partner in struggle and life.” It’s good no matter what.

Of course, in his tweet, he confused the author of the quoted poem. He said that it was Bertolt Brecht, while the author of the text is Martin Niemöller. Nothing happened.

The suspension of his television program and his usual publication in the aforementioned newspaper a few days earlier was preceded by the fact that Ackerman indicated intolerance towards domestic critics “who are fighting for the democratization of Morena and the power of the bases.” He later said: “Those of us who seek to do politics differently are branded as ‘traitors’ and labeled ‘schismatics.’ This is not an isolated phenomenon. Just as journalistic space is being canceled for me, across the country, the most dedicated bakeries are being fired, threatened, rounded up and warned to punish them for their worthy rebellion against the reproduction within the party of the most musty practices of the old regime. 4th Transfiguration…”

You could tell him that, of course, they are reproducing outdated methods, since the vast majority of Morenoists today come from other parties, and most of them come from the PRI. But I think it’s obvious and unnecessary. If you specify something: we told you.

And yes, not only it is canceled from the journalistic space. There are other members of the Movement who remain on the sidelines. Porfirio Munoz Ledo, Gibran Ramirez and many others. Anyone who dares to disagree with the provisions of Moreno’s leadership. That is, party members point to Mario Delgado and other leaders of Morena as guilty of this division. But the truth is that no one stands up to scrutiny; neither those who leave when they were inside, nor those who remain.

They require evidence, but often one has to face the fact that without any evidence they delegitimize questions; using trite and generic phrases like “they miss the chayote”. Their own criticism, internal, is hushed up, and those who express it are stigmatized as traitors. Now that it is so fashionable to demand evidence, i.e. that the workers demand it in the face of any dispute that might affect them, here is one of them: a former comrade in the struggle shows them that he has been a victim of censorship by this government, which behaves just like before.

So, ironically, while Ackerman was one of the loudest voices in defense of the 4T, the regime itself made him the unofficial spokesman for its proposals. Now, when they are uncomfortable, the way to censorship, the closure of communication channels.

When did this censorship start? When did Erendira’s brother, not selected in Morena’s internal poll as a candidate for governor of Guerrero, let the charges against Félix Salgado be made public? Is it wrong to single out the alleged rapist? Is it necessary to combine crime and corruption if it comes from a 4T member? Here, even those 10% honesty, which Lopez Obrador claims, were not rewarded. A few months later, Irma Erendira left the government, and now her husband is being censored in the official media.

This is not Morena’s first divorce, and it won’t be the last. Never! There will be more ships every day. As with some marriages, the members of Morena will not remain bound until death do them part. The anger of the leadership, the exposure of internal impurities or unsubstantiated criticism will be enough for a lifetime to separate them. And the fact is that López Obrador and his Movement have a deformed, misguided, twisted sense of loyalty.
