The Mexican Order. Colonial or Democratic governance? From Moderate Liberals to Mirreyes Narcissists

The Mexican Order.  Colonial or Democratic governance? From Moderate Liberals to Mirreyes Narcissists

Although Manuel Camacho Solis was the intellectual of a neoliberal regime that has lasted for almost thirty years, it is important to point out some of the differences that he pondered regarding the Mexican political system and its exhaustion. Since the end of the 20th century, Camacho understood that the collapse in the political control of the regime was an element to be taken seriously due to contextual economic inefficiency and social change. For this reason, the group of technocrats and the implementation of a new economic model would allow the political elites to renew themselves and that the regime would acquire the necessary inputs to have effective electoral clienteles.
The trajectory of the compact group has been reviewed as a successful story. A silent revolution that modernized Mexico in an incomparable way. However, in the long-term perspective, this has been one of the constant dilemmas in the country's governmental design. In fact, the critical path of the group "Politics and Revolutionary Profession" has been tried on several occasions and has to do with the political exercise from the outside. The colonial political control in its maximum fullness.
Erika Pani and Silvestre Villegas have insisted on the political configuration of the moderate liberals, positivists, scientists, technocrats who have always tried to impose criteria of liberal rationality but invariably end up in draconian governments that generate abuse, corruption and impunity.
Consistently, there has been an elite in Mexico that has little national sentiment, and although they appear as reformers, they are always merchants who are betting on a conservative modernization that follows the dashes of the Western powers and the financial markets, still When it involves the sacrifice of a large part of society.
These government specialists constitute themselves as a technical aristocracy of power. They are capable as government advisors but do not have the awareness of the deep order that keeps the true things of the country. John Womack, Rhina Roux and Germán Pérez Fernández del Castillo point out that Mexican revolutions or revolts occur when injustice is generated and the sense of community is lost.
Even though moderate liberals are gradualists, their projects always end up being involved in a risky way with the colonizing projects of imperialist powers. Hence its despotic and remote form always culminates with the radicalization of the social movements that rebel against the modernization and its projects. Zapatismo is an expression of this resistant modernity that characterizes Mexico. This is the colonial governance managed from abroad that the country is facing from now on.
However, Manuel Camacho Solis was striving for a Change without Rupture, the fact is that our country needs more and more independent and democratic governance. Authors such as Francisco I. Madero, Andrés Molina Enríquez, Samuel Schmidtt, Germán Pérez Fernández del Castillo and Rhina Roux have detected the country's problems, but the most important thing is to regain independence, that is, to form governments that advocate nationalist projects without submission. Exterior. Globalization has become more complex, perhaps impossible to manage and it is necessary to start from home to build the elements that will protect us.
Now it is necessary a Change with Rupture, that is, the abandonment of a colonial governability and the design of a democratic, independent, nationalist governance. The historical rupture will allow the country to assert its identity, the civilization where it belongs and, in turn, will generate cohesion in the social order.
The PRI-PAN Salinist marriage - with the PRD's later amasiatus - formed this elite of moderate liberals who were always thought of in the service of the foreigner. This way of governing is due to revolutions. Its modernization always is expolio, abuse, injustice and servility to the foreigner.
The government of Donald Trump involves a risk to Mexico and, fortunately, the exhaustion of this perspective of colonial governance. Maybe we found ourselves as in 1808 and independence reached us by default to be better exploited.
The elite of the moderate liberals of the twentieth century, as Bonfil Batalla says, belonged to that Shallow Mexico that does not understand Mexico Profundo. This group has always thought of the need for external support to maintain an authorizing modernizing order.
The neoliberal group to which Camacho Solis designed a route of access to presidential political power, would later exclude him from succession and this led him to reconsider the scenarios of a political change that necessarily include Representative Democracy

Audi Puebla: Model City of Neoextractivism



 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRKJG-k3BgA

The constitutional dispute carried out by the municipalities of Mazalpiltepec and Soltepec in Puebla against the Decentralized Public Agency of the Audi City Model (Organismo Público Descentralizado de la Ciudad Modelo Audi), allows us to understand the low totalitarian sense which was designed and is going to continue to run this urbano-productivo scheme. The Government of Antonio Gali is not intended to change any of the structures he inherited from the previous administration and maintains the perspective of neoextractivism projects in the State. For the State Government economic modernization is a permanent objective; more than the development of a social policy. Public administration has invited foreign capital to take part in the development of the neoextractivism. The frustrated rural cities in Chiapas policies are adopted although with another name. Puebla adopts a series of centralizing policies that help the population scattered to concentrate in a single point where they are the most basic services in order to reduce the expenditure of the State Government: Integrators and Integral Service Centers (CIS Centros Integradores e Integrales de Servicios).  In addition to the Sierra Norte, are considered within policy neoextractivistas the other two regions that have greater presence of indigenous population: the North-Eastern Sierra and Black Sierra.  In the immediate future, Puebla is a space full of opencast mining, hydraulic fractures (fracking), cities model (Smart Cities), hydroelectric power, distributions of wind energy, null federalism and policies that benefit the private sector only . The cities are the first real enemy of nature and tradition. The way in which human groups seek to develop the amenities that allow them a better existence leads to the exhaustion of certain natural resources and, above all, the imposition of a human wills over others. Progress remains gaining its right to floor: the extinction of nature, tradition and human beings, continue and continue to share. Creation technologies, development and civilization, have led to phenomena such as population growth and the decline of the Earth's capacity to sustain the consumption of basic requirements. As soon as makes progress, the bigger the risk of damage such as floods, storms, increased precipitation, changes in climatic zones, famine, small ecosystems, extinction of various species, human displacement, migration, drought, diseases, among others, human society and the environment that face new risks and pressures. The destruction of the environment is one of the greatest threats to life, because it means stripping the land of forests, affect other ecosystems such as the soil, contaminate water and since this keeps us alive and helps to maintain the ecological equilibrium and biodiversity, which in many occasions they influence weather and climate variations , if there is no balance in nature, there is no man. 
Mexico has blossomed, with a modern dialectic, irreconcilable, according to John Womack. There have been human groups - communities-which is considered not to be subject to negotiation. This is the principle when they fight with all its strength to defend its environment. The history of modernization and large capital is inserted over the blood of indigenous and peasant communities. How will want to modernity and progress if, almost always, these words are synonymous with extermination and violence for them? The unconstitutionality of the Audi City Model obliges the Government of Puebla to make a reconsideration of productive urban design in this region, as well as neoextractivism policies and privatization of water that are imposed through violence to human rights and to the municipalities of the entity. Some of the suggestions that are prescribed are:
-more broadly to evaluate public policy, from its planning until the end of its implementation. 
-Front combat corruption of these projects
-take into account the worldview and anthropology of farmers and rural communities facing modernization processes
-include participatory budgeting technology 
- see transitional stages in the transition from the rural to the urban 
- consider forms of alternative development 
- observe structural historical conflicts in rural communities before the modernization of the same. Every project of public policy must take into account lifestyle having the same beneficiaries. If development implies a discomfort with globalization, then we will create the right relief policies (Guillermo Pérez Fernández del Castillo). The Decentralized Public Agency of the Audi City Model is an unconstitutional body which can see the lack of responsible governance and the totalitarian practice of the mega-project by AUDI and the panista Government of Puebla. Rafael Moreno Valle proposes destroying federalism municipal of Mexico. For a long time has been concealed information from the company and authorities; but, with the creation of this decentralized autonomous body, it can be said that the city model will be the first private city in Latin American. Individual guarantees of the inhabitants, the rights of society are violated and it is privatizing a part of our country for decades. It is an undemocratic body that passes over the dignity of persons. The role of the Local Congress put aside all responsibility to our country and gave way to economic interests. These are times that Mexico needs their political representatives to loyalty and nationalism. Local members of Puebla are not to rise to the historic occasion. With his endorsement, they reveal ignorance of social reality, their insensitivity and servility. 
The municipality is the cell of Mexican federalism, is a school of civics and democracy. The creation of such agencies condemn to failure the municipal government. It is true that our country has municipalities of various types and cultures; However, not destroy them, and fade them for the sake of a so-called economic growth that, as evidenced by these recent times, are only modernizing fallacies. The morenovallista Government was confronted with federalism, attacked the municipalities and was authoritarian with the representative institutions of local government. Puebla is a model of Feuderalismo. Destroyed the State Center of municipal development, the development of the municipality and even consultants attending councils. Training, assistance and support of the municipality, are permanent absence of the State governments who only socialized corruption. The constitutional controversy is the first urgent step, the citizens and their authorities should insist on the supervision of the Justice of all the project of the Audi City Model. Social movements that have defeated the neoextractivismo, even in Puebla, in our country can serve example to the legal route to decrease abuse of the German company to our State. Citizens in Puebla and their municipalities should be alert to intervene and participate in the local government. Governance implies co-responsibility of the authorities and the citizens, consider that the market can solve everything is even more dangerous than the anarchist fundamentalism minded. Not correct the edges of the city model Audi are would be giving way to the total privatization of the Puebla dynamics. The mayors who are beginning to question the performance of the Local Congress and State Government are right to stimulate the municipality and the law. It is necessary to save the local life before it's too late.

Donald Trump's Useless Policy on the Mexican Question

Donald Trump's Useless Policy on the Mexican Question
By Diego Velazquez

 Russell Kirk, the singular representative of conservative thought in North America, employed some ideas of Jose Ortega y Gasset to evidence the continued decline in the United States. In his apocalyptic scheme he pointed to issues such as multiculturalism, technocracy, consumer society, drug addiction, rudeness, mass media and politics. All these conditions inhibited the value of tradition, history, and morality in American post-industrial society.
Donald Trump's message to the Legislative Branch of his country confirms Russell Kirk's scenario. The US president will not be able to perform any of the actions he promised because he lacks willpower, intelligence and morale. As in the case of Mexican President Vicente Fox, that of Trump, it will be a government of words, threats, inconsistencies and contradictions. The first national government of alternation in Mexico succumbed to the frivolity of power. Carlos Fuentes explains in "La silla del Águila" how the project of a perfect Christian society was transformed. It seems that Donald Trump will soon follow the same course as his friend Vicente Fox.
The "Hispanic Challenge" that Samuel Huntington posed as an aggression against the Anglo-Saxon civilizations order actually means the problem of drug trafficking into the United States. At this point, the US government seems powerless to address the situation. Drug trafficking triggers problems such as informality, no institutionalization, power gaps, exploitation, violent elites, and the full range of health pathologies that are uncontrollably advancing in the American union.

The American president was right when he mentioned that the members of the Mexican political class were scoundrels. They have done it again. The United States is in a process of Mexicanization and Donald Trump has decided to stop when he understands the magnitude of the problem that, after administration, has allowed to grow.

Russell Kirk, as well as Niall Ferguson, exposes that North America, in comparison with Great Britain, is incapable of overcoming a civilization crisis. The fickle role of the Donald Trump administration has generated quite a few ups and downs in the government project that had originally been raised. The breakdown of the dominant group, the lack of communication between different levels of public administration, the empowerment of adverse foreign governments, the ambiguity of actions and the lack of military support have shown the solitude of the American president.
Globalization will continue its path with the runaway force that distinguishes it until now. Mexican technocrats, financiers and drug traffickers can begin to calm down, Donald Trump fails to carry out the projects he promised. The speeches and tweets will continue to be bizarre to evidence the bad manners, arrogance and xenophobia; nothing else. WASP social support will be a constant throughout the US administration; However, financial-military institutions and elites are not willing to give a rudder to correct the historical course of the United States and Western civilization.
Jose Ortega y Gasset, as well as the critical theory frankfurtiana, exposed the massification danger of the consumer society. The United States is the best example of this and therein lies the true risk to Western civilization. Probably the hegemonic leadership of the world corresponds to the countries that decided to modernize but not westernized. The risk to humanity lies in the tyranny that economic materialism demands.
