Change of helm in the political board of Heritage

Process development aside Presidential succession changed in the last few days; Apparently there is a rudder change inside. Government of Lopez Obradorwhich firmly positions the Minister of the Interior, Adam Augusto Lopez Hernandez.

On the opposition front, the PRI is surprisingly gaining momentum, proposing – before public opinion – what it called “Dialogues for Mexico”.

Indeed, the trip of the Minister of the Interior, during which he passes through all local conventions, is not required for the purposes of approving the constitutional reform to the fifth transitional decree published in DOF on March 26, 2019, referring to the expansion of the presence Armed forces in matters of public safety until 2028.

This is because control of most of the state congresses is obviously in Morena’s hands, which means that the real goal is to put a black horse that comes from afar, while an equal race between Marcelo Ebrard and Claudia Sheinbaum he is almost bound and consequently gave serious internal fractures.

For this reason, this movement in favor of the Minister of the Interior is extended when he unnecessarily defends the Minister of Defense, Luis Crescencio Sandovaldue to his absence before the National Defense Commission of the Chamber of Deputies.

No doubt, everything points to an alliance between this power factor, which has grown exponentially, and the aspirations of the Tabascan, who suggests “that Lopez continue to feel comfortable.”

Claudia Sheinbaum continues to be the president’s favorite, but no doubt she could be replaced by Adan Augusto, since both play on the same team, close to the president’s preferences; if Claudia stumbles, or stumbles, then it is clear that there is enough time to invigorate, force and publicize this candidate.

Analysts of this topic should explore and open their eyes, because, apparently, the question of continuity within Lópezobradorismo takes unexpected and fundamental turns; the new alignment of political forces gives a new context to the opinion of the now all-powerful Armed Forces.

In opposition, the PRI – thanks to its experience and knowledge of the political system – is gradually positioning itself with an attitude of self-criticism, openness and renewal of its anti-government voices, taking a position that clashes with the Electoral Reform Initiative. that the Executive intends the Federal.

Among the personalities of PRI candidates there are knowledge profiles and, admittedly, officials who have held important positions in the legislative and executive branches of government. We may agree or disagree, but it is undeniable that this group has demonstrated ability in the field of public administration; Of course, there is still a long way to go to agree on these preliminary candidates and those added by the National Action Party, the PRD itself and perhaps the Civic Movement will be a difficult and difficult task that requires tolerance, intelligence and respect for the protagonists.

It is clear that if there is no unity between various opposition forces or between important groups of civil society, there is no chance of success in the elections.

The key to rethinking this new aspect of the Alliance should show up in the candidates for the governments of Coahuila and the state of Mexico, especially in the latter, where the elections will lead to the possibility of a close election or the expected defeat of the party, opponents.

The panorama is changing, the political scoreboard is changing. The relationship with the United States will be the defining factor and the possibility of true democratic justice.
