The Mexican Hispanic Right is Strengthening
Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero
Geopolitics is increasing its degree of uncertainty and there are various events that support the perspective of such estrangement. However, it is worth reflecting on the strategies of the Mexican right regarding the economic division of blocks that is coming. Although the meetings in Argentina and Spain may promote different right-wing approaches, in reality, geopolitics marks that the pro-American right and the Hispanic right are separating or, at least, have different strategies. For example, it is worth highlighting that the European Union and Mercosur have made an economic agreement that deepens their relations. This should also be interpreted as the tacit recognition of the exclusion of Europeans in North America as Donald Trump has maintained. CPAC and Neos pose severe differences with Anglo-Saxon culture and liberalism.
The pro-Yankee right is stagnating in the political processes of our country, Eduardo Verástegui does not get any support from the actors who should find in his proposal, the logical path to their economic benefits. Salinas Pliego's biographical background and his business circumstances push him towards the Hispanic right, no matter how much libertarianism he sponsors.
The Mexican right is betting on Hispanicism, which only blocks integration with North America and allows the reproduction of elements that Anglo-Saxon culture rejects. If President Donald Trump seems to follow the script of the "Hispanic Challenge" developed by Samuel Huntington to the letter, who would think of deepening relations with Spain to the point of mimesis as Calderonism proposes? If for Hispanic and libertarian conservatives, the Fourth Transformation lacks a compass in the rough sea of Trumpism, where is the Mexican Hispanic right going?
Mexico represents a society that can change its culture, initiate hybridization processes until it fuses with North American elements. A bold strategy like the one implemented by the Philippines fifty years ago, allows us to see that this country is in better conditions than others in Latin America. Apparently, forgetting the Spanish language and approaching the English language, as well as the civilizational change, has good results. Alain Rouquie and Samuel Huntington believe that Mexico could be integrated into North America, at least, in three hundred years; however, the Hispanicists – mainly the abusive Spanish colony – want the process to extend a millennium.
The colonial caste system: blood rights, racism and pigmentocracy; represent the first element of the Hispanic Mexican right that does not want to change. On the contrary, this force represents the real and identity-based power of its perspectives. However, reality disposes of other things; despite Trumpism and Calderonism, Mexican society is mostly integrated into North America and, sooner or later, it will have to assimilate into Anglo-Saxon culture. Mexican migration to North America is translated as American expansionism and will soon be confirmed with returns and deportations.
Calderón and National Action, as occurred with Luis Calderón Vega, Salvador Abascal and Salvador Borrego, the tecos and yunques; They are lost in the competition to find the Spanish grandfather and the racism of purifying Jewish blood. Hispanidad is a useless and dead faith; hopefully one day, Mexicans will be able to abandon the tribulations that only prolong the agony of the Habsburg Model and the minimum payment on the Spanish mortgage.
