The Puebla elections have shaken the interests and feelings of Mexican conservatism to the roots. If the morenovallismo loses the square, with its migration also move the privileges and spaces that they have usurped from, at least, five decades; although there is evidence of a greater hegemony. The "City of Angels" and its surroundings have been useful for the Catholic, Creole, technocratic, business and fascist reputation. If General Lázaro Cárdenas did not confront the local oligarchic structure, why would they allow MORENA to try to change the quasi-colonial hierarchy? The Mexican reaction will do anything to maintain its islets and haciendas.
The Neoavilacamachismo, headed by Rafael Moreno Valle, begins to show the weakness of López Obrador. The president-elect lacks political and economic strength to defeat a character who is successfully merging the Mexican reaction and the caciques of the Revolutionary Family. The Neoavilacamachismo will be for López Obrador what the Atlacomulco Group was for Ernesto Zedillo. Tragicomic repetition of what was the neoporphism for Francisco I. Madero? Will the president-elect review his allusive notes?
Puebla does not have the geostrategic importance of other Mexican states; however, symbolically, the defeat of Morena will be a great loss for the lopezobradorismo and, like Tabasco in the period zedillista, will be the starting point of the irreverence to the presidential figure and its movement. Andrés Manuel knows that story; but, he could also ask Manuel Bartlett the reasons of the Union of Governors in the fateful sexennium. The president-elect will face what is called a "juxtaposed government", that is, cohabitation with local governments of different political forces that are waiting to keep their fiefs. The legislative majority is of little use if the governors do not attend, understand, or want to understand.
The manner in which the electoral process of Puebla concludes, and not the NAICM, can be constituted as the sepulcher of the Fourth Transformation. An opportunist local right is convinced that AMLO won the presidency thanks to the system of proportional representation and, therefore, consider that the PAN must protect - even ignominy - its spurious triumph in the last state election. The neoavilacamachista cid is earning himself to be the new keeper of interests, custodial families and powers of the modern right, the secular right and the extreme right. As Gustavo Díaz Ordaz did.
