The 4T against the Western Hemisphere!

What a lack of tact, political savvy, diplomatic sense, and minimal courtesy did formal President Claudia Sheinbaum show towards Ambassador Ken Salazar!

What need did she have to reprimand him, scold him, pull his ears in public!

Why didn’t Foreign Minister Ramón De la Fuente, with all the courtesy required in these cases, call him to his office and tell him the same thing that someone who is not even a tenant of the National Palace told him at his town matinee?

Salazar, like all ambassadors around the world, does not represent his country of origin. He represents the Head of State who entrusts him with this mission abroad. Salazar is, then, ambassador of the President of the United States, Joseph Biden. And it was to him, through a third party, that Sheinbaum did the nonsense.

In passing, the President put one of her first full stops in the history of her relationship with former President López Obrador, who has not yet left the Executive headquarters, as he agreed with Mrs. Claudia to give him a few more days to put his things in order, which he would not have done before, he argued, due to the enormous workload in his last days at the head of the nation’s policies.

And that aside was nothing more or less than a veiled criticism of AMLO who, in Sheinbaum’s terms, allowed Salazar to roam around Mexico, from government office to government office, like Pedro in his own house, including the National Palace itself.

The man who, in his palace matinees, was full of praise for himself for his defense of national sovereignty, could not have been more subservient to the US government.

With Sheinbaum, she already said it, it will not be the same.

But why publicly reprimand the representative of your counterpart Biden, Madam President?

Sheinbaum and timing in politics

Mexico’s relations with Spain and the United States are at their worst.

Right on Columbus Day, Hispanic Day or, as in Venezuela, Indigenous Resistance Day, the President formally adopted Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller ‘s idea that the Kingdom of Spain should apologize to Mexico for the excesses of Hernán Cortés and three hundred years of viceroyalty.

Will the six-year term end and the next federal government ask the same of Bulgaria?

Quite different relations with Russia, since she personally called Vladimir Putin to invite him to her presidential swearing-in ceremony, as well as the Caribbean and Latin American dictators who are exponents of 21st Century Narco-Socialism, derived from the Sao Paulo Forum.

Drop by drop, all of this worsened the relations between the National Palace and the White House.

In the absence of timing, Sheinbaum jumped into the ring against the main politician of our neighbor to the north of the border.

And not only because of the US government’s criticism of the Judicial Reform that deforms and is harmful to the incipient Mexican democracy — reason Salazar was put “on hold” by the former president and now publicly scolded by the formal president — ​​but also because of what the two main candidates for the US Presidency have expressed in their proselytizing campaigns.

Donald Trump occasionally repeats that the Mexican drug cartels are terrorists and that, as such, the forces integrated into the Pentagon can take retaliatory actions in our territory. And his diatribes against migrants are constant.

But also because of his repeated threats to impose tariffs on cars built here to satisfy the American market. Even worse if those cars are Chinese, since the additional tax, the former president has said, will reach 2,000 percent. The renegotiation of the T-MEC is also in his sights.

Kamala Harris, for her part, has hardened her anti-immigrant stance, even though one of her few tasks as vice president is still to regulate the passage of foreigners across her borders. She has repeated that she never agreed with the trade agreement with Mexico and Canada and is also critical of the criminal violence that is already invading US territory, as well as drug trafficking.

The Mexican President did not measure the timing to further strain relations with Washington.

The madness of the four-pieces

It must be said again: Today in Mexico there is a preponderance of foolishness that, combined with negligence and ignorance, causes economic and political earthquakes.

It seems that the 4T is determined to bring the cons to the Western world. The reform of the Judicial Branch is the epicenter that has replicas in the disappearance of constitutional autonomous organizations and in the absolute militarization of public security.

The nonsense is one of the most classic and sinister structures in the history of governments. The two four-party leaders, AMLO and Sheinbaum, have replaced argumentative debate with absurd confrontation.

The insane with power enclose the rest in a thousand ways: they overwhelm them with lies that suffocate, they shout, they control, they prevent everything they can prevent.

They spread resentment, often only to cover up delusional scams, sowing poverty, deep uncertainty and horizons without suns. This combination predicts waves of economic and social trauma and massive negligence.

The phenomenon is contagious and the madness spreads to wide circles housed in shelters that sooner or later collapse.

The courtiers who cling to the cobwebs of privileges of governments such as that of AMLO and Sheinbaum or that of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela contribute to the general disturbance.

We should paraphrase the classic:

Poor Mexico, so far from God and, increasingly, also from the United States!

Clues

Although being an ambassador for his friend Biden is his first diplomatic task, Ken Salazar gave ample evidence of having tremendous tact and prudence, as well as how to get out of the siege of reporters who approached him to interview him at the presidential event with mostly American businessmen invited to “dialogue.” After the speeches, his office issued a message: it generates confidence and allows for the outlining of a future agenda “that reflects our shared priorities… it allowed us to reaffirm our common commitment to consolidate North America as the main economic power in the world for the prosperity of our peoples.” And he stated that crucial issues for bilateral economic integration were addressed. * * * That’s all for today.
