Various electoral and political analyzes offer explanations for the results of the past June 2; However, after several months of partisan competition and pragmatism of the factions, discredit and bad intentions appear as common elements in such exercises. Lamentable has been the partisan role of some academics and election analysts to misinterpret the day in which Luis Miguel Barbosa was the winner. Criticism and rational study is over, anger, classism and racial intolerance remain.

The hypothesis posited by the urban-rural dichotomy to point out that the green-peasant vote won Barbosa, ends by concluding: "only the poor, assholes and marijuana vote for Morena." The anachronism of such ideas demonstrates the loss that resentment provokes.

The effect of hate campaigns has been demonstrated throughout human history. Two examples are convincing because of the temporal proximity and the evidence: anti-Semitism and anti-communism. Most of the twentieth century was occupied by these phenomena and the European and then global hell, are proof that nobody learns.

In Mexico during 2006 we had one of the most radical hate campaigns that can be remembered. For Roger Bartra, the country experienced a social conflict that was consigned as a "fracture", an element that may imply a fragmentation or fissure of the social fabric and that, from his perspective, can place the country in a civil war. The struggle between political tendencies became radicalized since López Obrador was targeted as a presidential candidate and ended with a spurious Federal Executive who had to govern sitting on the bayonets and mounted the blood railway that could not be stopped.

When the terrible twentieth century is debated and the causes that started the European civil war that later became global are sought, the hate promoted by the right and, particularly, Catholic Christianity appears. The historiography has built a more or less general explanation, the Holy See promoted fascism to recover the hegemony lost by the loss of the pontifical territories and built the myth of the Communist Masonic Judeo conspiracy. Hell broke out and the twentieth century is the main shame of modernity and European civilization. Incredible as it may seem, that was the goal.

Faced with this, the right always exonerates itself in two ways: denying the facts and manifesting a revisionism; in this way, he argues the non-existence of the Holocaust and justifies the violence unleashed as a reaction to the "Red Terror" for all the utopian and radical ideas he promoted. Hate campaigns generate an alienation that can turn into an uncontrollable violence where the goal is to attack and cause the greatest possible damage.

The infamous power of the dark campaigns is more than proven. The collaboration of the German people with Adolf Hitler, as well as other Catholic nations in Europe, has been studied from the standpoints of mass psychology and reflects that, under certain circumstances, the Lucifer Syndrome can awaken in any age and person.

The hate campaigns, dark marketing, that are beginning to be the feature of National Action, frame this party in the configuration of the European extreme right, particularly anti-Russian, anti-immigrant, aporophobic, anti-feminist and neo-Nazi.

The failure of political representation is the responsibility of all parties. Even from the PAN. What plays Enrique Cárdenas who is first in MORENA, then he is a citizen and, despite being the most successful critic of the Morenovallismo, must assume his inheritance in the PAN brand? If the PAN electorate were the conservative middle classes, as they say, the State would not be one of the poorest in the republic. Puebla is not just the commercial area of ​​Angelópolis or the "Barcelona" of Cholula.

Hate campaigns must be conjured and it is necessary to boost the responsibility of politicians. For this type of campaign, do you spend so much money? With these meager electoral results, do you have to continue funding political parties? Do you have to pay with public resources for rancor campaigns that seek confrontation among Mexicans?

It is a time of peace and work in Puebla; They are more productive than hatred and rancor. Mexico faces a peculiar situation now, the supremacist Trump has put a serious crossroads, hopefully the right does not react like the polkos of the 19th century.

Even though Morena is made up of a wide plurality of forces and groups that managed to unify the indignation to make López Obrador reach the presidency of Mexico, there is no cohesion and strength to inhibit the effect that the probable political change in Venezuela will have. This fact can be highly significant for the progressive governments of Latin America. The geopolitical intervention of North America activates the license for the oligarchies to radicalize their positions. In Mexico, hate campaigns, the opportunism of the media and the vileness of political actors will increase.

Progressive governments are still trying to digest the effects of neoliberal globalization, aspire to rebuild a Welfare State that distributes income, improves the condition of humanity and safeguards the environment. However, things seem ungovernable and neoliberal forces become obscure. The task is complicated in front of a society without class consciousness and much less a homeland, it only wants efficiency and results to live the moment of an ephemeral and surprising modernity.

If President Nicolás Maduro falls, the strategy used in Venezuela will be the paradigm to confront and polarize the López Obrador government. It may seem normal that in a democracy the political forces compete aggressively for power, the abnormal is the coup and disloyal behavior to the political system and the community. Government inefficiency or exhaustion of the Chavez regime combined with the ambition of the Venezuelan oligarchy, generate a difficult environment. The last ones do not care about their country, they have always been in the service of foreign forces and they have no other identity than Miami. In Mexico this has been the same for some time, these groups are latent and generate the right environment to activate.

Donald Trump wants to impose a global disaster to retain the presidency, this is a wrong route that is not only distant from the American voter, it is the cause of the exhaustion and crisis in the United States. The republicans do not finish assimilating the lesson: to intervene abroad implies that the internal problems multiply and the cost is assumed by the taxpayer. Interventionism is equal to immigration and excessive subsidies for useless missions abroad. Globalization is uncontrollable and, therefore, the United States must concentrate on its local problems. Trump must fulfill the campaign promises, assume the nationalist character he promised, take the transnationals to his home and provide employment for his people.

In Mexico, the opposition to López Obrador will use all the smear and fear campaigns that are within their reach, they have no limits and are capable of putting the people against the people. AMLO is in the same position as Vicente Fox at the beginning of his six-year term: he generates immediate results or adheres to the usual corrupt ones to simulate governability. Big Fish!, demanded the one with the boots, a people hurt by so many years of suffering. The understanding of the dilemma may reduce the enmity between both characters.

The media war sooner or later has effects and are exhausting for the government in turn. There is no society immune to so much poison, there is no community that supports more pain in countries like Mexico. It is time for our country and the Ibero-American region to understand that, as Juan Linz pointed out, presidentialism does not serve as a form of government and only generates the license for US interventions. Parliamentarism is the necessary vaccine for political forces to force themselves to collaborate and avoid scenarios such as Chile in 1973 or Guatemala in 1954. If Venezuela were a parliamentarian, would there be a coup? The pettiness of the opposition has to be transformed into governmental co-responsibility, nobody needs revolutions or Vietnams, system re-engineering is needed. While the eternal reform of the State in Mexico will forget this point, the Kissinger, the CIA, the Marines and the counterinsurgency will always return.

The dialogue with the true civil society, the opposition to Donald Trump and the alternative movements are effective strategies in the short term; however, they are placebos braking a pathology that is seen as metastasis. The change of the form of government in Mexico is a necessary line for not reaching Venezuela.
