Trumpism in the succession agenda of the Mexican presidency
Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero
Masses have begun to take place in the Mexican Catholic rite so that the Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States of America does not come to power. A large part of the regions that send migrants in our country and Latin America observe with concern the nationalist and conservative discourse of the Republicans who talk about closing the doors of North America in every sense. How serious is Trumpist rhetoric as a government project for the future of Mexico?
During the presidency of Enrique Peña Nieto, the government decided to anticipate the scenario of Republican victory and summon the US presidential candidate to generate some type of agreement that would guarantee peace and non-aggression against our country which, according to the current narrative of the Republicans, only He deserves the atomic bomb. Things weren't so bad for Mexico after all, the republic could have suffered a fate like Ukraine and it didn't happen. Now Donald Trump returns to the fray and public opinion in the United States demands true paths for the proposal to enlarge the Yankee Empire. The WASP status quo is taking the Hispanic challenge as a serious risk.
Despite Peña Nieto's terrible mistakes, his decision was the right one to make peace with Donald Trump. What are the different political forces doing now? Outside of the late Eduardo Verástegui, no one takes seriously that Trump is in the anteroom of the White House and with thousands of horsepower behind him.
Republicans and the public opinion that favors them think that the time has come for radical measures against Mexico - and they are not wrong - on the issues of trade, migration, drug trafficking and geopolitical security. A Morenista legislative majority will be of little or no use if the United States decides to invade Mexico.
The candidates for the presidency of the Mexican Republic have not considered how our country will face the review of the USMCA, the probable return of millions of illegal immigrants, the bombing of areas identified with drug cartels, the actual construction of the border wall and the way in which the civilian population will be protected in a scenario of military conflict. Why doesn't the INE (Instituto Nacional Electoral) invite Donald Trump's candidates to debate?
Mexico's enemy is not AMLO or FAMXX, once again one of the most important risks for today's Mexico arises in the overloaded Donald Trump. We do not have the military and political capacity to confront a war with the United States; guerrilla warfare would prolong complete and contagious ungovernability even for imperialism; but Republicans want to take the risk. It is essential that Mexico knows the future president of the United States better and needs to act preventively to avoid greater risks. Trump has expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin and his peculiar way of resolving geopolitics. The analogy between Ukraine and Mexico is compelling. The political parties in dispute for the presidency of Mexico must dialogue with Donald Trump before experiencing the persecution of Volodomir Zelenski.
