The Current State of Mexico in 2026
As we embark on the year 2026, there is a pervasive sense of resignation regarding the dismantling of institutions and the growing polarization and stigmatization driven by the ruling authority, reminiscent of Venezuela’s predicament. These warning signs may lead to a dictatorial government and ruin, as experienced by the Venezuelan people.
The Fourth Transformation and its Consequences
Similar to Venezuela’s “Fourth Transformation,” this process violates the Constitution, distorts history, corrupts the armed forces, purges independent judges, and replaces them with elected judges through partisan means. It censors the press, manipulates election results for illegitimate legislative overrepresentation and to alter the constitutional framework, threatens and persecutes dissent, and devastates biodiversity. Moreover, it aims to deliver the final blow to democracy through electoral reform.
The Mexican Government’s Stance
The Mexican government, under the 4T administration, has distanced itself from democracy advocates and supports dictatorships. The support for the deposed Venezuelan drug-dictator and promotion of a Latin American bloc in his defense is unacceptable.
The Need for Change
With a weakened democracy, eroded guarantees and liberties, deteriorating public services, and protected corruption due to official impunity, maintaining optimism in 2026 is challenging. Despite public money distribution, most will face adverse conditions due to austerity policies, neglected infrastructure, and medicine shortages.
The Importance of Rule of Law, Security, and Growth
Without security, supply chains break; without the rule of law, productivity and formal employment vanish; without social peace, growth is impossible. No one invests where criminal organizations dictate the rules.
Formal Employment and Quality of Life
Formal employment is crucial for a better quality of life, while informality will never elevate it.
The 2026 World Cup and Social Challenges
Mexico will co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, for the “good and wise people,” attending games in Mexico will be impossible due to exorbitant ticket prices, exceeding their financial means.
Celebrating Traditions Amidst Challenges
Despite the challenges, Mexicans celebrate traditions like the Día de Reyes with Rosca and gifts for children. This 2026, it’s essential to overcome apathy and social paralysis, rejecting a dismantled republic and external rescue from drug-terrorists.
