Despairing in politics is counterproductive. Calm your spirits, Andrés Manuel. Stop fueling the #NarcoPresidenteAMLO trend. Rather than putting out the fire, in all your last matinees, in all of them, you have thrown more fuel on the bonfire of suspicions and drowned in the swamp of your boasts.

They imposed the topic on him. And you have already lost the political initiative. If he were a tennis player, he would have stopped serving balls to only answer the ones his opponent serves. And yes, others have already imposed the agenda on him. You no longer generate it. You alone suffer from it.

Initiative, in politics, is not everything, but it always supports those who manage to sustain their hegemony. The one who manages to impose his own rhythm on others. Their own times, themes, and obsessions.

Whoever holds the political initiative is always the one who manages to determine what is priority. This first and then that. This and not that. This and only this.

Having the initiative means not backing down, it means being on the offensive, it means having more imagination, dynamism and daring than others.

And you, Andrés Manuel, have already lost that touch.

For certain politicians, no doubt you are one of them, losing the political initiative is dying. They don’t know how to do politics if they don’t have the initiative.

And I repeat, for more than a week now, confused by the three publications abroad that revealed his links with drug trafficking since at least 2006, he feels cornered, nervous… thus confirming the veracity of what was disclosed?

This is also why, as President, you already feel that you are going backwards, that civil society is regrouping, that neither fear, nor pressure, nor social aid are yielding the expected results.

And obsessed as you are with preserving power at any price, any madness — one more — can be expected of you.

Suspend the elections? Would be one of them.

Extend your mandate a couple more years? Another one.

Yes, coming from you, Andrés Manuel, any stupidity of that caliber is possible. He is so desperate, so cornered and so filled with arrogance to kick any board.

You know that, if you lose the June elections, not only you and your docile trained “corcholata” would be at risk of being judged, but also that your Movement would end.

Your decisions have been disastrous not only for the country and its people, but also for yourself, President.

Demented group holds power

And yes, López Obrador’s power is diluted. He knows that he must concentrate. He does not give up the initiative and constantly calls for “great causes” to retain it.

Thus, if for Felipe Calderón it was declaring war on the drug cartels…

…and for Enrique Peña it was the so-called structural reforms…

…in the lópezobradorato the “great cause” of the moment is the Constitution.

AMLO must invade the Constitution. You must change it. Manipulate it. Reinterpret it.

Are him getting it?

Not at all. What he has achieved so far is that political society revolves around him, labeling him #NarcoPresidenteAMLO, and has relegated the reforms to the Magna Carta to second place, which are precisely interpreted as pure nonsense.

For a brief time and in a few spaces, he managed to make people believe that the Constitution (that text that grants us and prevents us from taking actions) is prohibitive, proscriptive, or unfair when it does not put “the poor first”, the workers, the pensioners. …

This is, as they say, crazy. And that is how the actions of the insane group in power are, they are crazy. But powerful. Because a good part of the political class accepts the fiction proposed by the insane group. Aren’t all those “consultations with the people” by show of hands, passing the constitutional text over the Arc de Triomphe, insane?

AMLO wants the political initiative for himself and only him.

Now and when his six-year term has ended, because everything revolves around his Caesarist person. It is accepted to make politics on its terms. There is a call to reform the Constitution. The opposition puts on all fours, going along with him, without daring to throw him out of his mind.

López Obrador and his insane group know that they have committed such excesses that a step back, a withdrawal will inevitably imply (even despite the political lukewarmness of the opposition) the loss of impunity and the risk of uncontrollable judicial actions.

Without addicted judges, without a friendly Court, the excesses of the insane group will be reviewed and, in that review, lies their legal condemnation.

Therefore, it is no coincidence that López Obrador frequently uses the word “enemy” to indicate his political adversaries.

In the language of war, reality — all reality — is divided into two fractions: one’s own forces and the enemy.

AMLO has transformed politics into war.

Thus, it invades the Constitution, the legal text of democracy.

All the others, like pathetic puppets, dance around him.

And the people (that people so invoked, whom they claim to represent) look with indifference at the show of a political class that discusses abstractions, things that are not understood, that do not seem to have much to do with misery, with education, with culture, with health. With the country.

Indications

In his desperation, AMLO reacts publicly with intemperate cries of “because I said so!” And if he says it, no one else must express opinions of another bias. It happened on Friday, in Cuernavaca, when those carried out still shouted and all kinds of negative epithets at Cuauhtémoc Blanco, who is still governor of Morelos at a tough time, since literally “he does everything with his paws”, exposing his ignorance, his nepotism, its corruption and its ostensible relationships with leaders of criminal groups. And in the face of widespread rejection, López Obrador responds that he is a good governor. Because he says so. Only for that. Because he says so. * * * In Morena they do not know how to resolve differences within their organization and without them transcending to the citizens. Now I present to you the case of Clara Brugada , candidate for the CDMX government, and Aleida Alavez, several times deputy, both local and federal, who wants the ownership of the Iztapalapa mayor’s office. The first, political matriarch of the area, does not forgive Alavez for having displaced Martha Ávila as coordinator of the so-called 4T Defense Committees in the land of Cuitláhuac and, in collection of such bill, Mrs. Clara has given instructions to create committees and structures for both electoral representation and organization for the campaigns that will end before June 2nd, of course with the political costs of duplicating work and the friction between their respective teams. Meanwhile, flea market leaders are threatened with various reprisals if they are seen collaborating with Alavez and that is what Rogelio del Castillo, Legal and Government Director of the mayor’s office, is there for. Could it be that due to this state of irritation that Alavez Ruiz allowed various leaders of his district to be prevented from accessing his top-secret meeting on February 3 at Rocío 83, his so-called citizen service module? Some others were kicked out of there… In honor of the Cuatrotero motto “do not lie, do not steal and do not betray”, I should inform the citizens that she allowed such vileness together with her consort Alejandro Ojeda, of not a particularly good reputation. * * * And while the comadres fight, the coordinator of Brugada's campaign, Rigoberto Salgado, has already been revealed, who with documents at the ready is indicated as a benefactor of his relatives’ companies for up to 160 million pesos, just during the few months that he was in the cabinet of the now “corcholata” Claudia Sheinbaum. Who knows how many more public resources he would benefit them with when he was mayor in Tláhuac? * * * And the list of murders of those who aspire to public office continues. Now, in Ecatepec, State of Mexico, Jair Martín Romero Segura, who registered in the Morena process for a federal deputation, lost his life. His brother Joan Martín also died. The macabre list also includes Ricardo Taja Ramírez , candidate for mayor of Acapulco, Guerrero for Morena; Giovanni Lezama Barrera , general secretary of the PAN in Morelos, was murdered in the municipality of Cuautla, where he served as councilor and was lined up to run for a federal deputy; David Rey González Moreno , candidate for the municipal presidency of Suchiate, Chiapas, for the Broad Front for Mexico. He was murdered when he was traveling on a motorcycle in the border area with Guatemala; Sergio Hueso, candidate for the Citizen Movement (MC) candidacy for mayor of Armería, Colima, shot to death; Miriam Nohemí Ríos Ríos, MC leader in the municipality of Jacona, Michoacán. She was shot to death in the municipality of Zamora when she was tending her hat stand; Marcelino Ruíz Esteban, former PRD mayor of Atlixtac, Guerrero aspired to be the PRD candidate for the same mayoralty. In the same attack, his wife Guadalupe Guzmán Cano , state advisor of the Aztec sun, was murdered. Both were ambushed on the Chilapa-Tlapa federal highway; Jaime Vera, PVEM candidate for mayor of Mascota, Jalisco, was murdered in the municipality of Zapopan; Juan Pérez Guardado, Secretary of Social Development of the municipality of Fresnillo, Zacatecas, was murdered. The man was also the brother-in-law of Senator Ricardo Monreal. * * * And that’s all for today. I appreciate you taking the time to read this Political Index. And, as always, I wish you good thanks and many, many days!
