They are clowns, they are not politicians

Laughing at those who say they are politicians takes away part of the importance they believe they have and deserve.

These unique characters from all political parties provide daily material to the cartoonists, who with ingenuity and a few good strokes express opinions that it takes us writers to type pages and more pages.

They are also the germ that produces dozens, hundreds, thousands of memes that spread at high speed on social networks.

Humor permeates politics and power. Politicians, whether as candidates or rulers, from time to time use jokes, exaggerations, or absurd situations to connect with citizens, but with their audiences, who follow them closely on television and social networks.

Laughter allows them to connect with the audience and makes them see themselves as human, especially when they ridicule themselves.

The prototypical case is Samuel García from Monterrey, a purely marketing product of who is now his wife, Mariana Rodríguez.

Although there are also those who involuntarily make people laugh, as is the case of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, whom the majority mocks either for his crazy ideas or for the “ideas” he exposes at his matinees. Even if he doesn’t make jokes, it’s ridiculous.

There are dozens of clowns that appear every three years during political campaigns.

They are clowns, they are not politicians.

And, more than politicians with an intelligent sense of humor, they seem like a caravan of clowns and jesters who have made ridiculous the exercise of elected office.

And this is how the media and networks are filled with ridiculous things such as that of the mayor of Cuajimalpa, Adrián Rubalcava, who in a tantrum renounces his PRI militancy and, after thinking twice, says no, wait for me a little while, which is a pause to said membership nothing more.

He is supported in his tantrum by the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Sandra Cuevas, and threatens to let no politician cross the limits of the district in his charge. But how are you going to prevent AMLO from re-entering the National Palace? Or that Martí Batres manages to deliver in the Old Town Hall Palace? And the senators, to which alternate headquarters do you plan to send them to grill and hold sessions? Laughter, then.

To laugh, too, but out of other people’s pity, the episode starring Mrs. Clara Brugada in Joaquín López-Dóriga ‘s radio news program. Imposed by her finger, she wanted to impose herself on the driver when he reminded her that she had lost the poll to elect a candidate for the government leadership of the country’s capital. The result was that the auto brunette decreased even more.

How we will continue having fun!

While Mexico is slowly going to hell.

Don’t you believe?

Sheinbaum, the dreamer

During political campaigns, likewise, propagandists on both sides use dreams to force history with the pulse of premonition through a vision, spontaneous, that takes on the value of prophecy.

Claudia Sheinbaum has not escaped the spell and a few days ago she revealed that she has dreams. Seventeen, to be precise.

Prevented from making proposals because she is legally a pre-candidate — although we all know that her role has already been that of Morena’s formal candidate for at least a couple of years — her speechwriters resorted to the dream figure to mask her claims in case of obtain victory in the elections next June.

Sheinbaum has talked about dreams on other occasions.

In mid-May, for example, in one of his so-called keynote conferences he told Oaxacans that “no one can stop the dreams of the people of Mexico; “No one can stop the dreams of a Mexican woman.”

And that Mexican woman is, of course, Claudia Sheinbaum.

In this pre-campaign and in the next campaign, the “corcholata” favored by AMLO will not let his bureaucratic dream be destroyed. Because for her, politics without positions and without contracts is not a dream, but a nightmare.

Don’t you believe?

Indications

Also, the product of a dream before going to bed is López Obrador’s “farmaciototota”, as he himself revealed in one of his daily appearances before YouTubers and one or another reporter. Originally, approximately six weeks ago, this writer had information that, after the doctor who apparently heads the Ministry of Health, Jorge Alcocer , was rejected by his boss’s proposal to establish himself in El Arenal, the main shareholders of The Liverpool department stores, headed by Max David Michel , made available to the Federal Administration a pair of enormous warehouses that they had built in Huehuetoca due to the accumulation of online purchases that they had during the duration of the pandemic, and that they stopped use when customers returned to their stores. Six weeks ago, the generous shareholders were praised, as it was a free loan. But now it turns out that, as has been said in other spaces, the Cuatroteros have already paid 10% of the price of the properties to the private company. Weird, to say the least, right? Because I don’t want to think that there is an official close to the President or even a family member who will also take economic advantage of this, which will be a new failure for López Obrador, because the problem does not lie in storage, but in its distribution. * * * Those who maintain that the capture of Néstor Isidro Pérez Salas alias El Nini, in Culiacán, were not fortuitous, but a product of the negotiations that the executives of China and the United States held with the executives of Mexico the previous week, are right. to stop fentanyl trafficking. The detainee served as head of bodyguards for Los Chapitos, whom he points out as the main suppliers of this drug that is killing Americans. A success of the Army, the Navy, and the National Guard, but does what we still call government work only with outside pressures? * * * To the chagrin of the so-called “hardliners” of Morena, Ricardo Monreal returns to lead the work of the Senate of the Republic. Ungovernable, the Cuatroteros cannot be left alone. * * * To promote the greatest number of voters in the upcoming federal elections, the INE has decided that, although voter credentials expire on December 31, their holders will be able to use them to exercise their citizen rights. In any case, the deadline to renew them is peremptory: January 22, 2024. * * * He says that it is his sixth visit to Acapulco in the last month, after Hurricane Otis will destroy lives and property in Acapulco. And since it is known that he has lied many times, no one believes AMLO. The most incredulous are the victims to whom he does not want to show his face, supposedly “to take care of the investiture”, which is flat out cowardice. * * * And that’s all for today. I wish you, as always, good thanks and many, many days!
