Campaign season opens

By Lillian Briseño

Mexico has a year ahead of it in which the candidates to run for the executive office within the political parties will be decided in the first instance and, once they have been defined, we will face the great campaign for the presidency that will be resolved by direct vote on June 2, 2024. Thus, we will live the next twelve months in the midst of a fight to the death -from the political point of view-, so that only one or one will win the elections.

The various political campaigns will flood every corner of the country, with multiple promises that are unlikely to be fulfilled and with slogans that will be repeated ad nauseam. Some of them will be very fortunate, such as the one that brought AMLO to the presidency, with a phrase that no one can spare impact or call improper: "For the good of all: first the poor". With all the criticism the president has received for defending this idea, it is difficult to find reasonable arguments to refute it.
