He has marked the times and he has us here. With his characteristic way of doing things as he pleased and not caring about the law, the president Lopez Obrador dictated forms and rhythms in which the internal election would be carried out to designate whoever heads the presidential candidacy of Morena. He wanted the process to take place in July and August to raise his hand in September to whoever he wants to succeed him in power. It was also he who designed every detail of a pre-campaign in which all the bottle caps are crouched, silenced, their hands tied to give him all the space.
When he saw that he was not going to be able to disappear at INE, as was his original intention, he chose to weaken it: at the end of Lorenzo Córdova’s term, in the midst of a rain of attacks from the ruling party, the good image of the INE in the eyes of the public began to decline and the influence of the current Government in the electoral body was growing : Among the new directors, more affinity to the Chairman is identified. AMLO does not take INE into account. Nor to the Court. Your warnings are worth it. He knows they can’t go any further and scoffs at their penalties every morning.

And so, a bit in the don’t come to me with the fact that the electoral law is the electoral law, the President has outlined what the morenista campaign will be like: given the lack of charisma of the bottle caps, the President will place himself in the collective imagination as the candidate . López Obrador has verified in these weeks of rallies and hauling that he does not have a good record, that if he leaves his candidate alone (or) face to face with the opposition, the vulnerability is enormous. The most logical political decision is to get into the election, the campaign, the ballot. Propose 2024 as a re-election, a vote with an option for AMLO to continue −regardless of whose name appears on the ballot− or another to return the past of privileges.
What did not come in the script of the National Palace is that the opposition became a serious challenge. The excesses of the President led the main parties to ally themselves and even to rush, to advance the process of designating the candidate, tying Morena in the calendar of political times not recognized by the electoral law.
Although the internal process of Morena and her allies is in accordance with the presidential plans −she is being gray, without anyone shadowing her favorite bottle cap, and with her navigating without much problem in front in all the polls−, in the process of the opposition, Xóchitl Gálvez has misplaced the President, who has navigated between persecution, discrimination and machismo to try to discredit her.

This phenomenon of Xóchitl Gálvez has yet to demonstrate whether it is capable of resisting the announced and undemocratic onslaught of the State; if he can keep feeling new and fresh, if he has fuel, well, for a long run; and, above all, if he is capable of adding votes to the opposition and not simply bringing together those who were already going to vote against the party in power.
