Doesn't it strike you as strange to have a "beloved leader of great popular acceptance" and nobody pays attention to him? It is said that he is a dictator: a person who arrogates or receives all political powers and, supported by force, exercises them without legal limitation (RAE). Even this victory does not belong to him. He came to power by means of the vote, in spite of the carriage there were also people who voted for him of their own free will. He did not seize power, like any self-respecting dictator, tyrant or despot. He came to power thanks to the approval of the PRI and the previous president. It was not his merits (his power), it was the money (among others, from narco and taken from public officials, monthly, there are the receipts) and the power of the executive in turn. He violates the constitution, but there are still legal and sometimes legislative counterweights. He is willful, yes; capricious as a spoiled child, yes; he hates to have people contradict him, yes and automatically fires them. The only way he has found to experience power is to surround himself with people even more incapable than he is, creating a fantastic scenario where it seems he is right, he knows best and he has the power.
Does it have power? No, no mandate has been achieved. No one pays attention to him, or cares about making him look good. Save money on the Texcoco airport? No. Does the Santa Lucia airport work? No. Well yes, for other things. Do we have a better health care system? No. The transition plan to a single public health system made by Asa Cristina Laurell at the beginning of the six-year term, identified as an initial problem "that the majority of citizens do not have timely access to the services required. [It is urgent to carry out a profound transformation of the public health system so that it responds to the health needs of the population. Then, as a great solution, "the new government proposes to guarantee timely access to health services and transform the care model, strengthening and expanding the public health system from the bottom up." The shortage of medical supplies, medicines and lack of maintenance is the only transformation they achieved in the health system. A mega-pharmacy that cost 2,700 million pesos, plus operating expenses, which in 22 days fills 67 prescriptions, is the pinnacle, the splendor of the President's power.
