The smoke screens and pyrotechnic fires that come out of the National Palace every day to distract, take attention away from core issues such as public insecurity, the collapse of the health and educational systems, the economic, water, environmental and Many other issues that require immediate attention from the federal government have become a form of government that tries to hide the true priorities of President López Obrador and that are in the electoral arena and in establishing an authoritarian regime that prevents alternation in power.
The country reeks of death with so many homicides and deaths due to lack of medicines, among other reasons, and what does the Tabasco native do? Well, he looks the other way, and if someone makes a statement contrary to his vision, then it deserves his attention.
With just over five months to go until AMLO’s administration ends, many things can be said, but there is no doubt that the government resulted in a failure to resolve the problems that most concern Mexicans.
There is no government and that is why self-defense groups and checkpoints arise everywhere, in the face of the main scourges that lacerate Mexico: public insecurity and the ineptitude of the federal government.
In the next two presidential debates, beyond the topic that will be addressed in them, public insecurity, corruption, impunity and opacity underlie them all.
The López Obrador government, identified by international organizations as a systematic transgressor of human rights, takes refuge in criticism of its detractors and takes refuge in fallacious, aggressive and profane arguments, which only cause social polarization to become even more acute.
As we reach the end of the six-year term, the counterweights to the Executive Branch have been weakened or co-opted, such as, for example, the National Human Rights Commission, which became an appendix of the Segob, as has the Legislative Branch, which is dominated by a rapacious majority at the service of the ruling party.
If at this time the Judiciary had not resisted the blows of authoritarianism, we would be living in the last moments of democracy and the rule of law.
The reforms to the Amparo Law endorsed by Congress are an example and are one more step towards the autocracy that López Obrador aspires to, since it seeks to reduce the powers of the Judiciary which, in the exercise of its powers, has enforced the Constitution.
The definition of autocracy is limited to a form of government in which the will of a single person is the supreme law.
If you think that this definition is consistent with what is experienced in Mexico, you are absolutely right.
The reforms to the Amparo Law approved in Congress by Morena and its allies mean one more step towards the autocratic regime that López Obrador aspires to, and for which he has dedicated himself to dismantling rights and violating the division of powers established in the Constitution, warned Verónica Juárez Piña, candidate for senator for the Fuerza y Corazón por México coalition.
“These reforms violate article 29 of the Amparo Law, which protects social interest and public order, and seek to remove judges’ power to provisionally and definitively suspend laws that have been challenged through an amparo,” he added. .
López Obrador is hindered by checks and balances and these reforms are one more step to reduce the powers of the Judiciary which, in the exercise of its powers, has asserted the rights established in the Constitution against his arbitrary acts and those of his party in Congress. of the Union.
The Judiciary has become a dam in the face of Andrés Manuel’s efforts to excessively concentrate power in the federal Executive, hence his fierce disqualification campaign against the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation and his proposal for ministers and judges to be elected. at the polls.
“But they are wrong if they think they will get away with it. From the opposition we will continue voting against arbitrary laws and presenting unconstitutionality actions to reverse them and this case will not be the exception,” Juárez Piña warned.
He pointed out that on June 2, citizens will have two options: “vote for those who are destroying our institutions or for those of us who fight to preserve our democracy and their rights.”
At a time when the fourth-generation government should be accelerating its pace to, at least, present better accounts at the end of the six-year term, they are dedicated to releasing the last blows of authoritarianism.
