Cpac. The Mexican Trumpist Right

 Cpac. The Mexican Trumpist Right Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero One interpretation that can be made of the event that Eduardo Verástegui called to establish a current of support for Donald Trump, fulfilled a proportional objective. The electoral competition for the presidency of the United States is becoming increasingly close and Mexican actors still resist understanding that they must participate and select a side. Standing at the end, waiting to see who remains in power in North America, can imply high costs since there is a different value in each proposal, Democrats and Republicans no longer represent Pepsi and Coca Cola, there are parties that propose different and antagonistic options according to the groups that are supporting them. The fight, in the end, is between globalists and multipolarists. The Democratic Party resumes a global progressive populism that tries to maintain, on pins and needles, the North American hegemony and the territorial influence in each of the ...

Hobbit or Protester? The streets and autonomous organizations

 Hobbit or Protester? The streets and autonomous organizations Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Since the Arab Spring, it has become common to find manuals of anarchism and social resistance in different cyber spaces; the Internet has become the main tool of anarchists and dissidents. The crisis of democracy corresponds more to the unjust development of liberalism than to populism. Neoliberal democracy has become a plutocratic totalitarianism that insists on denying its responsibility for the conditions in which humanity lives. It is difficult to deny the dystopia of the Z War if globalization does not change. As in the sixties of the last century, imagination demands the impossible from power, but political power and, above all, economic power, is a sad, dry and old monolith that feels nothing, it only lives to repress. That is why imagination, in essence, is rebellious. The failure of democracy through competitive elections in Mexico has not yet been assimilated by the PRIANRD an...

The reinvention of the State in the face of civil society in Mexico

 The reinvention of the State in the face of civil society in Mexico Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero During the Salinas administration, the State was dismantled in the name of quality, efficiency and North American integration. The neoliberal era continued to cross time under those flags. After almost forty years, the results were terrible As the change of government approaches in our country, the opposition to the Fourth Transformation structures the risks of the reforms promoted by López Obrador as a legacy of his political and social commitments. The disappearance of autonomous organizations at the local and national level seems imminent; if the reform of the Judicial Branch is enough to shake the structures of the neoliberal oligarchy, with the disappearance of the civil spaces that structured the transition via competitive elections, the State shakes off foreign bodies that took away its power and sovereignty. The changes generate uncertainty, tremendous expectations and doub...

Plurinominals and unfulfilled promises of the electoral system

 Plurinominals and unfulfilled promises of the electoral system Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero The debate around the disproportionality that can be generated from the distribution of plurinominal legislators is meaningless from a retrospective and fair look, the capital sins are the possession of all and only after the conjuncture does critical action make sense. Mexicans voted in one sense and this must be respected; although it is not to the liking of electoral specialists inclined to the liberal democratic model. For many years, intense academic debates and conscientious studies regarding the Mexican electoral system were never taken into account. It is enough to remember the ideas of Manlio Beltrones regarding Giovanni Sartori's proposal and the second electoral round. Were the parties aware of the studies produced by the Mexican Society of Electoral Studies? Did they include academia in their political proposals? Have the PRIANRD read different studies on electoral indicator...
