CIENCIA POLÍTICA

 Eduardo Verástegui and the digitization of signatures Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero  The presidential candidate of the extreme right in Mexico has indicated that technology dislocates his proposal to participate in the 2024 elections. Although there are a couple of months left for Verástegui to gather the number of electronic signatures necessary to fulfill the requirements that the National Electoral Institute demands, the task seems titanic without the support of the powers that be; particularly the religious and economic ones. What is happening with the electoral strongholds of the extreme right? Well nothing.

During the last century, the terrible scope of war was related to international law so that radical differences between nations or states did not affect t...

The student massacres were oriented by the fight against communism, the fight against the Soviets was financed by the United States in satellite governments such as the PRI regime. However, it is necessary not to lose sight of the climate of opinion and culture determined by actors such as the World Anti-Communist League (WACL) where the membership of various actors in the Mexican political system is recognized. The WACL now persists in organizations such as the World League for Freedom and Democracy or the Conservative Political Action Conference, and maintains Nazi rhetoric coming from Eastern Europe. The religious and neolibera...
