Esa es una demanda central de la CNTE ahora, echar para abajo las reformas estructurales que, de hecho, hacen que el neoliberalismo "siga vivo" en México mientras no se deroguen. De nada sirve que #AMLO haya dicho esto o aquello si no hay cambios en la realidad.

#AMLO pudo decir muy ufano y seguro de si mismo que "el neoliberalismo se acabó", pero estaba mintiendo de oreja a oreja. Las reformas estructurales que el Panismo impuso en México, que incluyen la ley de pensiones de 2007, siguen vigentes. Esa ley privatizó las pensiones, en vez de que sea el Estado quien las garantiza, ahora cada persona tiene una cuenta de ahorros privada donde abona para su jubilación. Desde que pasó esa ley se dijo que eso tendría como consecuencia miseria para ls jubilados

Mexico is becoming a great place to visit - and maybe even eventually live there:

"On January 12, tens of thousands of Mexican citizens packed into the Zócalo to hear President Claudia Sheinbaum deliver her report on the first 100 days of government. Her announcements reflected an agenda both ambitious in scale and comprehensive in scope: sixteen new laws and twelve constitutional reforms ranging from the recognition of Indigenous peoples and the real increase in the minimum wage, to the recovery of Mexico’s national ownership of natural resources and a crackdown on tax evasion. “Let it be heard loud and clear,” Sheinbaum said. “We will not return to the neoliberal model … We will continue with Mexican Humanism and with the maxim of ‘For the good of all, first the poor.’”

That maxim sits at the heart of the “Fourth Transformation,” the political-economic project inaugurated by Sheinbaum’s predecessor Andrés Manuel López Obrador, or AMLO. Founded during his own campaign for the presidency, AMLO’s National Regeneration Movement (Morena, in its Spanish abbreviation) drew inspiration from the country’s three prior great transformations—the War of Independence (1810–1821), the War of Reform (1857–1861), and the Mexican Revolution (1910–1917). A century on from the Revolution, AMLO claimed to recover its tradition of popular self-determination, proposing “a system of democratic planning of national development” to shape economic growth toward the goals of “independence” and the “political, social, and cultural democratization of the nation.” Sheinbaum now promises to construct a “second storey” atop this political edifice."

Radical Transformation or Change? — A Critical Assessment of #Mexico’s First Progressive Government

The analysis evaluates the presidency of Andrés Manuel López #Obrador (AMLO), examining key changes made during his administration as well as the constraints #AMLO faced. Ultimately, it explores the question of whether his presidency resulted in genuine transformation or merely incremental changes.

Dos soldados de la #SEDENA abrieron fuego sobre camiones de redilas donde viajaban migrantes ilegales, asesinaron a seis, hirieron a 12 y hay 17 más "ilesos".

Esto es lo que dejó #AMLO, la militarización y al ejército y la recién estrenada guardia nacional en tareas de policía que incluyen tareas de migración. Somos la frontera extendida de los Estados Unidos.

On #Mexico, the @ap story is inexplicably weak. It talks about President Andrés Manuel López #Obrador #AMLO, who took power in 2018, but does not even mention Claudia #Sheinbaum, the new president-elect this year.

The AP story mentions that Mexico’s president AMLO called #Trump “a friend.”

#Harris should have exciting new opportunities with Claudia Sheinbaum when the first female president of Mexico and the first with Jewish heritage assumes office.

Hand-picked by populist #AMLO, many in MX think #Sheinbaum will govern like the him. Pragmatist who put in place a 1st class vaccine strategy during Covid, or: ideologue who followed AMLO’s ambivalent policies -led to 100K dead in MX City? One who understands the importance of data & planning or one who spends little on subway maintenance & lots on$ handouts for sht-term el. boost -seems closer to his half-hearted conservatism in favoring militarization.

#México debe de romper relaciones diplomáticas y comerciales con #israel

Cada día que se sostiene el Tratado de Libre Comercio México-Israel es un día que financiamos el genocidio.

Cada día que se sostiene el TLC con Israel es un día que las fuerzas militares o policiacas pueden comprar drones, software espía, o armas químicas para reprimirnos y vigilarnos.

El gobierno de #AMLO no va a hacer eso de buenas, tenemos que obligarlo.
