In case the progress is made Plan C in the last one it is the president’s Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Mexico will be worse than in the 70 years of governments of the PRI.
The above, according to the opinion of Mary Anastasia O’GradyAmerican newspaper columnist Wall Street Journalwho in his text “Mexico flirts with dictatorship” indicates that if the INE grants the alleged overrepresentation that the Opposition criticizes Morena and allies, the country would return to a state:
“A single-party system, as it was during the most repressive days of the 71-year government of the Institutional Revolutionary Partyonly worse. Things could be much uglier given the power of the Mexican cartels.”

In the text loaded with adjectives such as “radical” and “pernicious”, O’Grady accuses that the country is already militarized in terms of security and construction of infrastructure works, because López Obrador gave those responsibilities to the Armed forceswhich represents, according to his words, “an invitation to corruption.”
For this reason, it joins the demand of the Opposition (PAN, PRI and PRD) that the National Electoral Institute do not dictate such overrepresentation, since this would give Morena and allies the power to promote from the Legislature the 20 reforms proposed by López Obrador on February 5th.
Even, the author continues, if Morena has a qualified majority (as the head of the Executive has called for his party to have more than half of the Chamber of Deputies), the party in power:
“It would eliminate the 7,293 practicing jurists in the country: 11 judges from the Supreme Court and all the judges of the circuit court, the federal district court, and the state court.”
He even argues that in the last 30 days of his administration, López Obrador would try to “replace” the Supreme Court with people chosen according to his wishes, whether by political, economic or even organized crime groups.

The WSJ columnist even points out that the Bank of Mexico would be used for discretionary purposes, in addition to:
“An amendment to allow the government to imprison citizens suspected of tax fraud would put an end to due process.”
Hence, the American media contributor warns that:
“If reforms go ahead, a nation that depends on greater integration with the global economy will regress. And with it, Mexican hopes for living in peace, freedom and prosperity.”
