Introduction to Dr. Blanca Heredia Rubio and Claudia Sheinbaum
Dr. Blanca Heredia Rubio, a distinguished figure in Mexico’s left-wing politics, suggested to Leo Zuckerman that President Claudia Sheinbaum might be adopting a firm stance in her administrative duties while exercising political caution in her role. This intriguing observation comes amidst the significant political achievements of deconstructing Mexico’s fledgling democratic institutions in just five years, altering the political regime, and reinstating the hegemonic presidency of the last century under López Obrador’s legacy.
López Obrador’s Legacy: Political Triumphs and Administrative Turmoil
Despite these political victories, López Obrador’s legacy includes an unacceptable and pitiful administrative disarray. The confusion within the ruling party is evident, as mentioned previously on Monday, 12th, citing the intentional leaking of Mario Delgado’s conversation with José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. This leak highlights the chaos and disorder caused by cautiousness or retreat affecting numerous brilliant minds.
The Butterfly Effect and Gusano Barrenador
The butterfly effect seems to be the cause behind US Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins’ decision to close the border for Mexican cattle exports due to outbreaks of gusano barrenador in southern Mexican livestock farms.
- During the Peña Nieto administration, confident that gusano barrenador was eradicated, the sterile fly breeding plant established in 1974 during Echeverria’s tenure was closed.
- Currently, the Mexican government is aware that it must compel whoever is responsible for border control between Mexico and Guatemala to prevent the smuggling of Guatemalan livestock. The question remains: who is in charge at the southern border?
Congress: No One is Indispensable
It appears that, in both chambers of the Union Congress, the groups (tribes?) within the ruling party operate according to their agendas. Although more or less controlled by Ricardo Monreal and Adán Augusto López Hernández, the coordinators, these agendas seem to be desynchronized with those of the Republic’s Presidency.
At times, it can be challenging for outside observers to discern whether Monreal and López Hernández, two seasoned veterans, also manage the differences. Following the judicial election, there is a possibility that both coordinators may undergo “confidence tests” determining their continued occupancy in their lucrative positions.
Notes in Turmoil
There is concern among many that recent events prove “the little sharks,” now under federal marshal protection, might sing whatever tune the US Department of Justice desires… It is irresponsible for federal officials to allow anarchist agitation in Mexico’s public universities. Who will put them in order?… After the judicial election, authorities must focus on establishing all specialized tribunals they have promised… Tomorrow will be a disastrous day in Mexico City as teachers from the CNTE march through the Historic Center…
