Sheinbaum and the Mickey Mouse Ears
Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero
Perhaps it is due to the pressure exerted by the United States, given the risk of an economic crisis of historic proportions due to exclusion from the North American dynamic. However, President Claudia Sheinbaum is beginning to establish a decision-making process that distances herself from her predecessor. It is true that Yankee demands regarding national security may violate the powers that be in Mexico; however, the trade balance weighs more heavily, and above all, interaction with the United States. Therefore, the Mexican government must abide by Donald Trump's dictates.
The idea of North America, as Robert Pastor and Alain Rouquie pointed out, is a fatal destiny for Mexico. It is impossible to pursue a radical separation after long decades in which government and society in our country conceded productive structures, markets, and labor. It is complicated to reverse the processes of an integration that, due to its influence, is more than a constant; the Mexican-American relationship is an everyday phenomenon.
Mexico's relationship with the United States is more than a symbiosis. Sheinbaum's government has discovered that it is impossible to begin building an internal market and national industrialization under the current circumstances. The most important thing now is to maintain the relationship with North America and develop the order required by Yankee imperialism.
Sheinbaum is beginning to see support from the PRI (Private Institutional Revolutionary Party), the United States, business groups, and the Armed Forces, in addition to numerous Morena-led tendencies. The PRIMOR (National Revolutionary Party) brings Sheinbaum closer to the governability implemented by Enrique Peña Nieto. Hopefully, she will gain control of local powers to prevent a moral crisis that would encourage a highly competitive succession.
State governments and authoritarian enclaves have failed to understand the importance of the United States' formal and informal economy for Mexico. Little by little, the establishment of a collaborative game between Sheinbaum and Trump succeeds in safeguarding the second level of the fourth transformation in the techno-feudal process that the globalist US oligarchy is developing as an empire.
The contradictory governance that the Mexican political system develops through its intermediaries leaves no one satisfied; it always has been that way. It is impossible for the party in power to satisfy the needs of its electorate without considering the interests of the North American economic, political, and social power circles. AMLO survived in his own way, and Sheinbaum is beginning to build her own naval route. Hopefully, she will have enough time and the winds will favor her for the good of the republic.
