Introduction to Colmex and its Origins
Colmex, a public institution of excellence, was established by President Cárdenas as “Casa España” to harness the intellectual talents of Spanish Civil War exiles. In 1940, it transformed into the Colegio de México, a renowned “think tank” that offers potential solutions to national issues, which governments often adopt.
Colmex’s Role and Relevance
Ana Covarrubias highlighted Colmex’s significance when assuming the directorship, emphasizing its role as an independent ideas laboratory in the Western world. These institutions analyze potential solutions to national problems, providing valuable insights for governments.
The relevance of Colmex is underscored by the question: why neglect the independent opinions of a prestigious public institution like Colmex, which offers potential solutions to Mexico’s challenges?
The Unresolved Case of the 43 Ayotzinapa Students
Alejandro Encinas’ earlier statements failed to discredit Jesús Murillo Karam’s “historical truth,” which was challenged by old Lopez Obrador grudges. Identifying a laboratory in Insbruck, Austria, and tracing two normalistas’ remains to Murillo Karam’s investigations strengthened the “historical truth” and led to convictions of the perpetrators.
Despite their inability to construct an “Encinas truth,” the accused’s release only hindered their retrial, turning the 43 Ayotzinapa normalistas’ case into an endless story.
Debunking Myths of the 2000 Presidential Elections
Discussing the priísta regime is akin to reading a forensic report of an autopsy, but political twists necessitate debunking myths. One such myth is that Zedillo handed the presidency to the opposition.
Francisco Labastida, though respected, repeats this accusation despite Zedillo acknowledging his 1994 election as “legitimate but unfair.” All knew the PRI would adhere to the generous prerogatives granted by the 1997 electoral reform in 2000, except Labastida. The election was “legitimate and equitable,” and he lost due to this misunderstanding.
In the Whirlwind: Notas
Víctor Hugo Carvente, head of the INE’s internal organ, a confidant of Guadalupe Taddei, resurrected a 2021 morenist sergio Gutiérrez Luna’s denunciation against Colmex councilors, accusing them of delaying President Lopez Obrador’s revocación de mandato. Carvente initiated a process against them for their voting records. Is this political revenge, or is Taddei merely showcasing obsequiousness?… The Senate will now approve Guardia Nacional promotions, correcting an oversight… Media aligned with the IV-T claim that Guerrero’s mountain children have no future, as no programs reach them…
