Criticisms Reflect Outdated Prejudices and Ignorance
Recent criticisms of the “PAN relaunch” reveal outdated prejudices, questioning if it’s a “shift to the right.” Critics seem unaware that PAN was founded 86 years ago at Frontón México to oppose President Cárdenas’ socialist policies.
Luis Felipe Bravo Mena’s Objective Perspective
Former national director Luis Felipe Bravo Mena, known for his integrity and impeccable career, offers a more objective view. He reminds us that the party’s decline began when they strayed from their original principles and functioned like any other political party.
Misinterpretation of Candidate Selection
Politician Jorge Romero misinterprets Bravo Mena’s roadmap, discussing open candidate selection for the public. How much would it cost Morena to give blue vests to their red-vested supporters? What part of “returning to original principles” don’t they understand?
Addressing Aging Population and Migrant Residency
Grant Residency to Migrants!
Last week, “El Economista” editorial director reminded us that the demographic bonus is over, and in five years, the number of adults aged 60 and above has grown from 7.5 million to 17.9 million. Add the INEGI report stating that the basic food basket price has reached a historical high.
Contextualized, these two pieces of information, viewed from the perspective of the future of public finances, become concerning as the number of taxpayers shrinks. How will social programs be funded when resources are scarce?
It’s reasonable and rational to grant residency to thousands of migrants who choose to stay in Mexico due to their circumstances, compensating for the declining birth rate and increasing mortality rate.
Guardia Nacional: Preserving Image Amidst Challenges
Gradually, the government claims progress in establishing the Guardia Nacional as a police institution for national security. However, a suspected feminicide could tarnish its image.
Recently, 22-year-old guardia national Stephany Carmona was killed by two gunshots to the head in Acapulco after reporting harassment from Sergeant Second Class Yair Manuel Ramirez. The alleged perpetrator has been detained.
This incident presents an opportunity for Guardia Nacional to preserve its image and demonstrate zero tolerance for criminals, sharing merit with the Sedena.
