Mexico amid the coronavirus health crisis and a fratricidal struggle for political power

As in the old and “glorious” days of the Roman Empire, the colosseum crowded with the Athenian oligarchy and the crowd, waiting for the blood to flow, and the more blood and death, the more pleasure and spectacle for the people; Something similar is currently happening in Mexico for the fight for political power, with an opposition to the government (transition towards democratic consolidation) led by Andrés Manuel López Obrador, for whom there is no truce or ethics, and if it is necessary to distort and reproduce schizophrenically the lies are made, and for them, they have the complicity of some media that work full time, that's why we see them anxiously covering and even chasing covid ambulances19, getting into a cashier without caring about the risk of contagion, disclose the disappearance of a lady with probable covi19 in an exclusive area of ​​Mexico City, go from funeral parlor to funeral parlor and film the chimneys of cremation ovens and ambulances entering or leaving, and cover the sensational note trying to build a perception that in Mexico the problem of covid19 is greater than what the government narrative reports, and I think that nothing is further from reality and the truth, acting several of those means, without the slightest truthfulness and impartiality, resembling their acting like the Nazi strategies of Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister of the Third Reich, "repeatedly presenting a lie until it appears to be a truth."

One would think that, in these times of fear and anxiety, what people want is certainty and good news, and that in truth the truth does not want to be lied to either, the truth is better than the lie, it is not worth the truths. average and much less premeditated, treacherous and advantageous lies, because that is from criminal minds.

Well, we Mexicans are experiencing it, in the midst of the coronavirus health crisis and fierce opposition against the government of the AMLO republic.

Unfortunately this is the case, sometimes this act lacks ethics, scruple, and trying to change the perception of the citizenry, mainly trying to instill fear and terror, in some cases misrepresenting the information, and making hoaxes left and right, crushing mistakes of the federal government to make arbitrary generalizations that present de facto truths of which things are done badly in the institutional treatment against the coronavirus, in many occasions without caring for the psychological damage that they inflict on the population, although this also reveals the lack of an alternative project of nation to AMLO, in addition that many of those actors are linked to the pernicious past that caused the public crisis that the Mexican State still lives, as well as, these unethical practices reflect the lack of leadership and leaders that can present themselves to compete with AMLO, but I must also say, apart from the undeniable leadership of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, t I also don't see alternatives elsewhere, and I think that is dangerous for Mexico, since new leaderships and leaders need to be built that can replicate and guarantee the consolidation of the democratic transition Mexico is undergoing, transition towards a new rule of law, a new political party system, and a policy based on the common good, which shaped the new face that Mexico needs, because I continue to believe that Mexico is more than its charro hats, its tequila, its narcocorridos, even more than that struggle for power politician. Go for that Mexico!

How I have been talking to you, that type of media campaign has no limits, because we can scrub them that much of what they try to internalize in the psyche of the Mexican is a falsehood, that their information is biased and impartial, that the intentions are not healthy, that This campaign is a fight for power hidden in "good intentions and professionalism", in "serious concerns for the health and well-being of Mexicans", and that they must stop this action because it is damaging the viability of the prospects that Mexico may have as a nation capable of building its future in civility and law, and joining in building that new Mexico that all Mexicans deserve, to rescue the lost certainty of the new generations of post-covid young Mexicans19, to help in construction of the new man and the new world society that vindicates the human, and that politics now if it serves to protect the lives of human beings and not for banality and power for power, but despite the evidence that is needed, many of these actors remain blind in their campaign for political power.

In the recent appearance of Dr. Gattel, who considered that before being a politician, he is an academic and a professional, that his academic profile, fortunately for Mexico, is that of an epidemiologist, who speaks with scientific data and information, and that ignorance or intentions In the dark of their questioners, they do not understand it or do not care, for example, when he declares that he will never return to normal, he does not speak thinking that this issue of the covid19 is particular to Mexico, but rather that it is an unprecedented global crisis that no one had I have been able to foresee, here is the damage it has done to countries even in other economic and health conditions than Mexico, beginning with the United States of America with its more than 100,000 deaths, England with its more than 70,000, Spain with its more than 30,000 dead or Italy in the same conditions as Spain, or Brazil that is leading the red focus in Latin America, and that this health crisis opens a watershed in the history of planetary man, and that it is by forcing the world to not be the same, and that it cannot be read with the same conceptual and epistemic coordinates as it had been done, and that daily life has been disrupted and cannot come to remain the same.

Now we see, as it is treated by some media, Dr. Gattel's statement that statistically the covid health crisis19 could leave around 30,000 dead in Mexico, news that occupies instantly in almost all media and social networks, the first note, many of those media treating the biased information and making it sensational, hiding that those predictions are scientific and that even the mortality rate is not so bad forecasts, compared to other countries, for example, the scientific advisers of the United States predicted around 200,000 deaths from covid19, scientific forecasts that can be proven to be occurring, since the United States has to date more than 100,000 deaths from covid19, and thus, it can be scientifically proven. However, many use and edit this information to continue their fight for political power.

In this regard, what was announced by Dr. Gattel, are not such dire forecasts, that even, taking some notes that a good Samaritan made for the truth, it can be seen that these forecasts are better than other countries, because, Italy: 33,072 deaths (545 deaths per million), Spain: 27,120 deaths (580.37 per million), Mexico (currently) 8,134 (64.46 per million). Assuming the maximum limit of 30,000 deaths: 237.36 deaths per million (They would not reach half of the deaths per million than Italy or Spain).

Or as you can see in the graph of the John Hopkin University (THE MOST prestigious in the USA), and they are on its page for everyone, about the death of the coronavirus pandemic, dated May 20, which, in the same period, mortality in Mexico is not as lethal as other countries.

Information presented to me by a good academic friend, Mario David Salcedo, who points out that, “these were the data a week ago, where it can be seen that there are several much richer countries, with a smaller population and with more technology than Mexico with much more curves pronounced and irregular ”.

How do you see that is the truth, although this is so far, we must bear in mind that science cannot guarantee a virus that we do not yet have in control and sufficient knowledge of, and neither the vaccine that immunizes us, and that it can There are unfortunate variants, if we still do not understand that it is time to add and raise awareness, to assume as the new normal the new culture of hygiene, partial mobility and limited closeness, and that protection is, for now, in ourselves as a social group, going in one direction and abiding by the recommendations of scientists and the federal, state and municipal government regardless of their color, and stopping that absurd fratricidal struggle for political power, that what we must be reiterating and crushing is that unity and a new culture of prevention, not the hoaxes and lies and biased information, it is time for great politics, not politicking.
