Ya Chole, a Mexican expression that we have heard over and over again when something annoys us, makes us fed up and gets on our nerves.

Not to mention the last six-year term , when even in an advertisement she used "ya chole con tus quejas" (enough with your complaints) or the present six-year term in which, just to say the least, we have heard her like a mantra against everything we don't like: YA CHOLE with Salgado, YA CHOLE with feminists, YA CHOLE with INE, YA CHOLE with journalists; almost as much as "it wasn't me", "the fault lies with the conservatives"... in fact, almost the same as "we are not equal"....

In this government of "a medios chiles", what is left of the PRIATO is playing with a single pair of jotos, not even kings or queens because in both states, Coahuila and Mexico City, they are in alliances with their former bitter enemies: with the PAN and with what is left of the PRD.

Of course, in both states they have their own candidates. They are both militants who, in addition, with direct votes "of the good and wise people", have already obtained electoral triumph at the ballot box. Manolo Jiménez defeated the "man in the hat", Guadiana, in the elections for Mayor of Saltillo. In the case of Alejandra del Moral, she won in 2009 the municipal presidency of Cuautitlán Izcalli over what was then the PRD.

It goes for Mexico, whether we believe it or not. Let's go Mexico, what matters is the people and both territories are a representative sample of what our country is: growing, thriving and hot.

In the case of MORENA their candidates are... they are what they are and the history that precedes them. Guadiana, for Coahuila, with his sayings and his dirty tricks. "That if he is not going to steal a peso", "that if he is the good guy", good for business at the expense of his state. He was a PRI member for 43 years and his flag carries a sign of pesos that, despite his seventy-something years, he cannot hide. I repeat, at the polls he has lost to Manolo Jímenez and to the current governor Riquelme. We hope that Doña Chole does not grab him by the hand after the election results, whatever they may be.

Delfina, oh Delfín...it must be! In 2017 she was already defeated in her gubernatorial aspirations. The scandals follow her but do not get her wet because... she has always moved like a fish in water, but... she does not speak and when she does speak it is better that she does not speak. Her actions, however, portray her in full body. And she, lazy and cooperating. She has to give her airs and graces as long as the people can stand it. Or the militants "keep on loosening the wool" even if it is "ajuercitas".

Know what is going to happen on Sunday, June 4. Let's hope that the winners do not turn out to be ugly and that they do not go to screw the people once again.

We deserve something cool, a result that gives us air, that keeps us afloat. That no longer divides us, that they assume their responsibilities. Let them be political players who kick for the goal and not those who pimp for ambition. Both states, one in the north and the other in the center, have very good scorers. Everything is perfectible, no doubt; and everything can be ruined as well.

May it all be for a chingón Mexico and that Coahuila and the State of Mexico do not fall for the chahuistle or elect someone chambón because YA CHOLE, right?
