National Security and Succession
Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero
For Antonio Velasco Piña, the sentence that characterized an ideological axiom of the regime of the Mexican revolution: Effective Suffrage, No Reelection; it characterized a mandate that was protected by the armed forces and meant a reprimand for whoever held the presidency of the republic under the concern of transex. The paradox of this belief in the mechanics of the Mexican political system is that it has been fulfilled in the authoritarian and pluralistic dimension.
The vulnerability evidenced in the presidential figure as well as in national intelligence, translates into the abandonment of military support for the Executive Power and the concern of the de facto powers (particularly the United States) for the successor of Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Apparently, cyberattacks should be understood as a discord against the option that intends to follow, squarely, the foundations of the Fourth Transformation.
Inheritance conflicts in Mexico have caused severe social and governability crises. Velasco Piña's black circle considered that, with everything and the injustice that the Mexican domination pact represented, the six-year term was more than enough for the mortal god-president to undertake his historical activities. For better or worse, for the health of Mexican society, the six years of a Satrap fit for everything.
Although these perspectives correspond to political fiction, beyond the fact that these processes actually occur to derail Morena's best-positioned candidate from occupying the presidency of the nation, it is important to discuss the importance of the transexality of the country's projects that political factions develop.
Although six years seems like a long time, the transformations that the country requires exceed the dimension of the constitutional mandate. It is important to consider the temporal dimension of the presidential regime that our country has and contemplate what happens in the United States (perhaps the only presidential system that works in the world). Re-election and short government terms, as well as recall, are intelligent mechanisms to reduce the bad influence of rulers and protect society.
Putting pressure on and sabotaging the president as has been done up to now is a suicidal act that will generate a stronger polarization than the fracture that the 2006 and 2018 elections have left for everyone. The faction of lopezobradorismo and the candidate preferred by AMLO to succeed him, have to correctly analyze the presidential weakness in multiparty contexts and propose mechanisms that generate governability and executives capable of defending themselves.
