Puebla: on the radar
Diego Martin Velazquez Caballero
The appointment of the constitutional president of the United Mexican States, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, regarding the collaborators on the issue of security and governance that the substitute governor Salomón Céspedes decided to incorporate, is a sign that Puebla -the entity- no longer goes unnoticed by part of the Fourth Transformation. There is no space to point out a "dark shadow of lopezobradorismo" as was previously thought. There is a closeness between Lopez Obradorism and Puebla that cannot be considered a collusion. I wish that a little more would be done because the topics are endless, although starting already counts for a lot.
The information provided by the federal Ministry of the Interior regarding the members of the state cabinet constitutes antecedents that forced them to present resignations, it is a message not only for the group that directs the state government but for the political class that is now migrating to the ranks from BRUNETTE. The transformation must be authentic because the antecedents are always visible.
The state government has had to reconsider the training and service vocation of its collaborators. Alejandro Armenta has tried to do something similar, but it is not his thing. The aspirants to the state government under the candidacy of Morena, now have to start from scratch, demand an ideological commitment from their supporters and put aside the collaborations full of grotesque, these are no longer the times of Gonzalo N. Santos.
On the one hand, Armenta intends to align with the principles of the Fourth Morenista Transformation; on the other hand, his reaction is perceived as exaggerated and perhaps shows a greater concern for those who are part of his inner circle. Armenta's problem is that he surrounds himself more and more with characters who are confronted with the president of the republic and he will have to say goodbye to them soon if he does not want to be the PRIANRD candidate, which, according to demographic estimates, he would do anyway. make competitive.
The intervention of the federal government in Puebla has been interesting, it confirms –as the maxim of a good local political scientist points out- that the order to regulate regional authoritarianism only comes from the center. The possibilities of alternation are not extinguished in the entity and force governability to gain momentum, coherence, congruence and encouragement. The social movements and the Morenista bases in the region should no longer feel orphaned.
