Mexico City political analyst, Felipe Calderon will be president of Mexico in a few days. The question of our future is not the charge but power. Be president, "govern? The post provides a growing body of authority, competence and permissions constitutional. Do not provide the ability to lead the country. Calderón's government is a question for several reasons. The first is strictly institutional: Presidential device is a complex arrangement that, in times of fragmented power, may well encourage paralysis. The second is genetic: Calderón's government was born evil. Not that I speak take the story of the fraud. I find no convincing argument showing that the public will be adulterated. But the Calderon was born evil. Regardless of the arguments, there is a segment of the population that continued to doubt the legitimacy of the new government. And it is clear that the polarization comes from the days of lawlessness continues. The third difficulty is structural: Calderón will take the leadership of a bankrupt state. I do public finance accounts, I realize the impotence of a political structure seriously overwhelmed by the powers and criminal powers. Will it settle Calderon government in this quagmire?
The first problem can become an alibi. At that made him the Fox. The awkwardness of the drivers was charged to the poor design of the device and the villainy of the legislators. According to them, if the "government of change" did not achieve the feats that was promised because the constitutional framework had been overtaken by circumstances and by meanness of the opponents that systematically blocked patriotic initiatives. Poverty of its results was attributed to bad rules and irresponsibility of others. Calderon can not repeat the same mantra. He insisted that he learned his lesson and will work directly with the legislature. To work with Congress, Calderon offered a coalition cabinet. Failed. His team, in fact, not what had been proposed: a coalition platform, a space to share responsibilities of government and shore up legislative endorsements.
The second problem must be addressed clearly. Calderon's presidency does not suffer from poor legitimacy. Support you have to "legitimize" in fact seems to me absurd. What it requires is to show determination and, above all, effective. For 9 years, the Mexican pluralism has been effective in blocking but not to build. Calderon plays demonstrate the capabilities of limited government. Your responsibility is neither more nor less prestige democracy. This area also lies a trap: the belief that the polarization of recent years must be stopped with a consensus policy. That was the tone of the elected president in recent times. Conciliation, consensus agreements. Calderón should seek the creation of a majority consensus is assuming the impossible, and undesirable -. If Calderon wants to be president, as well as President, shall assume the essential confrontation. The claim of the consensualist is to find the place where we all agree. In other words, we offer a recipe for immobility. If Calderon wants to rule you must choose your battles and to identify their enemies. For six years we suffered a president obsessed with his sympathy. Fox's determination did not have to face the enemies of economic modernization and the enemies of the law. To keep the peace party, gave away at the slightest hint of pressure.
next government should restore the dignity of the presidential office. Emphatically reject improvisation and frivolity. But the president will not recover respectability shunning danger or yielding to the constraints of special interests, blackmail their party or the demands of the sponsors. The signals provided by the equipment are frankly disturbing because Calderon outlined a president who, before the founding decision of his presidency, has decided not to rule. The team has been appointed is not a seasoned political team, or a selection of appropriate technical, not a Mexican group committed to a vision. Calderon's team portrays a president who begins his government chained to the mediocrity of his party and fearful to confront the real powers.
not start well the Calderon. His cabinet is now a double failure. There will be a platform for partnerships, will not even be a recognized talent selection. Product of an intricate game of bounces and coincidences, a decision marked by improvisation, Calderón cabinet bears the stamp of vetoes and extortion. Unable to show political determination, inept to draw a coherent picture, Felipe Calderón has revealed even before taking office a profound weakness.
boot clumsiness is really worrying about the seriousness of the third challenge of the new government. Forget the "structural" reforms. Let us leave aside the clutter of the joker and his "legitimacy" traveling. The really serious is the growing empire of blood. The war that nobody dares to mention is the toughest challenge you will face the next government. Not only plays the fate of a president and his party. Life (no metaphor) of all is at stake. The future president can not continue playing the PAN politiquita remain at the forefront of a country living dramatic hours. Http://diario.com.mx/nota.asp?notaid=40ab7fc73ab2c12fc021d78fef03b1a8
