Taboada: Bombardment to the PRIANRD's deficient presidential candidacy
Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero
Although polls mean that the lead in CDMX still favors Morena to retain the local government, it is important to note what is happening as an effect of the political debates.
While in several entities the dialogue between candidates and meetings in different agoras is reduced, or debates are canceled for simply authoritarian reasons; In the country's capital, the dialogues proposed by the electoral authorities and other social, civic, economic and political actors have become indispensable.
The Federal District has always been established as an archipelago of criticism, participation, liberalism and exchange of proposals between the most diverse actors.
Based on the above, the victory of Santiago Taboada in the second Chilango debate will have positive consequences for the presidential candidacy of Xóchitl Gálvez.
Just like other red lights in the country, CDMX will not be a sunny day for Morena in this year's federal and local elections.
The alternation after the broad government of a factionalist and pragmatic collaborative left is likely.
Likewise, the forceful criticism of Claudia Sheinbaum's government will also have resonance outside the national capital.
The metropolitan area of the Valley of Mexico has been attentive to the Chilango debates and the failures of Clara Brugada trickle down everywhere, like the capital's leachates.
In 2021, Mexico City had a divided election that meant a symbolic defeat for the Fourth Transformation, it simply caused a juxtaposed government to be implemented at the local level and Morena did not reach the number of federal legislators for its reform projects.
The latent opposition, since then, has found in the frank debate with AMLO and his representatives, the possibility of its voice becoming bizarre.
And they get it.
Although Taboada's proposals are simple and managerial in handling the capital's problems, they seem like golden paths in the face of the natural disaster that left-wing governments have had in recent years.
Water, transportation, security, hygiene, education, ecology and infrastructure are the first package of criticism that shows the exhaustion of a clientelistic and corporate left, the lack of creativity and innovation of a populism that wins polls, but does not know how to govern or reinvent public policies.
The decline of Morena in CDMX is due to a natural process of political aging; there were many years of temporary solutions and impossible utopias.
The drinking water network, the metro transportation system and pollution; They are more than urgent issues that the leftist old guard forgot to change.
The triumph of Santiago Taboada refreshes the campaign of Xochitl Gálvez, a candidate who at times goes astray due to her own abandonment and that of strangers; Some commentators point out that the dyslexic, autism and attention deficit of the FAM presidential candidate is undeniable – from psychological perspectives.
However, the leadership of managerial PANism will provide more electoral support in the capital and in the metropolitan area for the two Xs.
Unlike Xóchitl, in CDMX there is no competition of pigeons against pigeons, the DF has never been buxom, it is important that Morena is aware that the capital election will be highly competitive and, probably, with adverse electoral results.
