Coahuilongo a state election

Any resemblance to reality is a mere coincidence.

Gathered in the campaign house, with a map of the municipality of Sonoreto de los Monteros where the powers of the State of Coahuilongo are based as a background, the main operators of the candidate meet, who by the way knows absolutely nothing about politics or electoral strategy He is just a prestigious dough and tortilla businessman, who has throughout the state a chain of tortillerías named “tortillerías Ramírez”. All solemn sit down to listen to the talk that a representative of the marketing company “el cara bonita” will give them, which they hired to prop up the image of the candidate Ramírez, who, by the way, although it is true, is a successful and well-known businessman He is also the classic citizen come rich with serious problems of skirts and addictions, so you have to create a jovial, serious and progressive image. A strict conference with slides, statistics, images, guiding principles, which includes the relevance of highlighting the candidate as "the good father of the family", complemented with some photos of the candidate with the entire family with a smile at all he gives, in some public park.

Later on, the real meeting begins to design the proselytizing and vote-gathering strategies, now expanded with “leaders” from neighborhoods, unions, unions, students, and civil associations, among others. The campaign coordinator, a well-versed and knowledgeable guy in running political campaigns and with an impeccable curriculum vitae, all his life has lived off the public budget, the classic chameleon who has gone from political groups to political group without the slightest fuss, charismatic, a great command of information and capable of remembering the insignificant Don Chencho leader of the progress neighborhood, and being able to recite without any problem the names of each of the block chiefs and municipal agents.

He stands in front of everyone, and asks each one their quotas of committed votes, that is, the people they can mobilize on voting day, their needs (propaganda, supplies, transportation, money, etc.), and immediately the passes in an orderly way through his money envelope for his week, which by the way, no one is there for ideological convictions, it is more or they know about ideologies, and so on they pass with the person in charge of propaganda, supplies, transportation, and with the person in charge of finances , which today has a special complement, bank cards with a deposit of 2000 pesos each, these are for the purchase of votes, these are delivered in private in a discreet and stealthy way.

Around 8 o'clock at night of the busy day, the campaign coordinator with his entourage meets with the electoral manager to make sure and confirm that the party's general and polling representatives are available, the logistics to feed the network of representatives , and of course its corresponding payment. Seeing that everything is in order, he ends the meeting, but not before congratulating the electoral coordinator, who he claps on the shoulder and reminds him that his place is assured in a government post.

But the day does not end, from there they go to a meeting with the candidate in a hotel that they rented in its entirety as part of the operational structure of the campaign, the candidate receives them with a broad smile, sure that their investment will be worth it, the The municipal budget is one of the largest of all the municipalities in the state of Cuaihuilongo of the poor country ICNOTL, with more than 60 million poor people, which being a country with extensive coasts to the east and west, with vast natural resources, and human resources inexhaustible, unfortunately due to the transsexenal corruption of the political class that has plundered it, it is still considered euphemistically a developing country, and guarantees that its investment will increase exponentially through public works, petty cash management, etc. They all sit in the hotel's large private room, and now they have the municipality's governmental structure as a background, and quickly or lazy, they begin to “share the cake”, that is, to place the party's assets and the candidate's friends in Ramírez, without knowing politics or electoral strategies, knows that he must stay with key positions for his dire intentions, treasury and public works, so he warns them that those positions are not up for discussion. After the long evening between drinks, snacks, and macho jokes, and almost all the positions were distributed, there is only one left, the head of the historical archive, who nobody asked for or took into account, mainly because it is an area without a budget. They are mothballing the municipality's archives, some over 200 years old, but they are not interested in these riches, so the powerful campaign manager tells his private individual to get one of his hypees friends to fill that position.

We are sure that the proselytizing machinery will work and endorse the triumph of the party in the 27 municipalities and 17 electoral districts, since the state apparatus will invest a good sum of the public budget, in addition to this the investment of a good group of businessmen who see the opportunity of vendetta to the loss of power in the presidential elections last year, who lost a lot with the arrival of a crazy dreamer who thinks that equality, social justice and democracy can be applied in a country accustomed to paternalistic subjugation , so they have organized at the national level to invest in these midterm elections to the decisive next year, Syrians and Trojans, reds and blues, once enemies who were vying for the relief of public power in the country, and now unshakable allies, united with the conviction of returning to public power at whatever cost.

As it was, the forecasts were fulfilled, the red party and not because of communism, devastates almost all municipalities and districts, including in the municipality of Sonoreto de los Monteros, where candidate Ramírez sees his dream of being mayor of his hometown In fact, he celebrates that day to everything he gives, even strangers and those who voted for other options are benefited from the feast, since he ordered a cow to be killed in each of the municipal colonies, accompanied by rivers of beers.

Mission accomplished, the local and national leaders of the Insurmountable Revolt Party repeat, it has been shown that "the people are wise", they chose "the best men and women to make social justice and progress a reality, and to efficiently combat the health crisis of the coronavirus pandemic that the world is experiencing, men committed to their ideals and their convictions, ”read their statements, happy and joyful as if they had won the presidency of the republic again, at least it is the feeling that is seen in their faces and words, emboldened, all state and municipal committees reply in unison, "we are back," like those who had presented the formula to tackle the abysmal difference between the vast majority of the poor and the rapacious minority that has the wealth of Icnotl, but it is not like that, the demonstration they made is that the perfect machinery of a state election continues to work. Even a staunch enemy congratulates them, although their party did not have a relevant role in the Coahuilongo elections, Don Foxiano Coca, “Good for the PRI (Party of the Insuperable Revolt) and the PAN (Party of the Ninguneada Action) in Higuera and Coahuilongo. Lets go for everything!! Long live ICNOTL !!) ”, one of the main promoters and investors of the future alliance of all the political parties that can, and they say so,“ remove OLMA from the presidency.

What conclusion can we reach from these local elections in ICNOTL, firstly, that the reactionary forces of the democratic transition are not willing to let it happen because that means burying the culture of simulation and corruption that has prevailed in the last 30 years , and the insane coexistence between public interests and private interests, which has allowed them to use the state and political parties to preserve and increase their wealth in a country eager for social justice.

That political praxis continues to lack content, and is committed to manipulating and taking advantage of the needs of citizens, although this runs parallel to an apolitical and uncritical citizenship, complemented by a scenario where, unfortunately, the lack of co-responsibility prevails.

That, although the democratic transition that OLMA represents is an unavoidable condition for reaching a democratic political model that solves ICNOTL's serious problems, it requires the agreement and unanimous will of all public and private actors.

That the generational replacement of the insane political class is absent, and the same political class continues to operate that has not had the capacity to build a democratic country that guarantees plurality and division of public powers, and the efficiency of the state and its institutions to solve the serious problems. problems of poverty, insecurity and marginalization experienced by ICNOTL.

Obviously, there is a lack of a National Project based on a new political and ideological theory, which sustains public power consecutively, that is, that the actions of the public function are linked to this new political and ideological theory, having the guarantee that This new political and ideological theory is capable of facing and solving the serious social, security, economic, educational, and security problems, among others, that Mexican society experiences; considering that it should not be understood as a purely moral and exemplary position, but as an ethical and action perspective that involves society in general.

That restoring the normality of the Institutional functionality of the Mexican State does not mean the fourth transformation of Mexico, much less a change in the paradigm of the res publica (public thing).

That the scourge with which this ineffectiveness of the normality of the functionality of the Institutions of the Mexican State is summarized is and was Corruption, which became part of our collective unconscious, of our culture, "he who does not tranza does not advance", and it was part of that private metalanguage that operated on public power, and that legitimized in a certain way the personal use of public power and institutions, rendering the rule of law and the proper functioning of public institutions inoperative.

That bad times are portending, when observing the political polarization and the lack of will and love for the country.

I do not see a full awareness of reality, of the extreme situation that our country is experiencing; so I am sure that any change of power will not bring the New Fire that burns "the old" and makes the "new" emerge to start a new life of hope and peace among Mexicans, because I do not see the political class with you look from a height that allows you to see that what is at stake is the survival of Mexicans.
