[@orlandomolina7192]

I was visiting in Chihuahua, Mexico the weekend of the elections. AMLO and Ms Sheinbaum were/are very popular there. All my relatives went out to vote for Ms Sheinbaum. Many of them voting for the first time. Except for Grandpa Tobias who is a non-believer of any politicians. Until someone explained to him that the reason he is now getting his stolen pension is because AMLO began the investigation and backlog of all the farm workers who were owed moneys. Also, they stopped selling alcohol the Friday afternoon and through the weekend, until the elections were over. That was an experience 😂

[@elizamedrano804]

During elections, always taking place on a Sunday, so people can participate, there is also no alcohol sold. As far as the pensions for the elderly, I know children of Mexicans who are from the US, and who never worked in México but are now retired in the country are getting the pension.

[@franklinmount4068]

I was disappointed by Amy Goodman’s introduction to this segment. She delivered a generic and almost completely unresearched introduction essentially drawn from the English language neoliberal press’s gross mischaracterizations and stunning failures of journalism. “Critics say” is not reporting. Concerning the judicial reform, Goodman failed to mention the enormous and widespread demonstrations in support of the reform. Goodman also failed to mention that the judicial reform is part of a package of 18 constitutional reforms, including the right to food, healthy environment, the right to water access, and the protection of the rights of indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples and communities. The best source in the English language for the entire reform package is from the American big law corporate law firm White & Case. I posted a link, below. Concerning violence, murders went down in Mexico during AMLO’s term. He came into office with the highest murder rate in Mexico’s history. The murder rate skyrocketed starting in 2006 when Felipe Calderón took office as Mexico’s president and began cooperating with the DEA in the war on drugs. (He signed the Mérida Initiative in 2006.) Many of the murders were committed not by cartels but by the Mexican army, as has been widely reported in Mexico. That reporting has put a lot of journalists in danger and indeed led to the murder of some of those journalists. AMLO, to his credit, has been working on changing the leadership of the military and been putting the military to work constructing new infrastructure projects. Something that is necessary due to the hollowing out of the Mexican state and the dearth of contractors in Mexico who can work on public projects without having their palms greased and then incurring massive cost overruns. Kudos to Edwin Ackerman on his attempt to report factually in a limited amount of time.

Edwin Ackerman's analysis of Mexican politics is spot-on. In fact, I would go even further in making a strong case for the necessity of judicial reform. Since Norma PIna became Supreme Court chair-person,The judiciary has become the oposition's closest allies. A few judges are actually quite honest and want change. But most of them and most of the workers that benefit from the system they are defending, along with a significant portion of media outlets, union bosses, academics, intellectuals, religious hierarchies, wealthy corporations, and imperialist interests in the U.S. and Europe, have aligned themselves with the PAN and PRI. Together, they seek to attack, weaken, and ultimately overthrow the MORENA party and its allies. Their motive? The current government has dared to prioritize the people and the working class, directly challenging the corrupt and greedy neoliberal system that has long served the interests of the elites

Very interesting takes from Dr Ackerman, but some more context is needed still. The justices refusing to take a cut from their compensation is also upheld by the constitution in that no law can reduce rights of any person, including the rights to a previously agreed salary, that is why this particular law (about reducing salaries) cannot be applied retroactively. He also glosses over the "petty technicalities" over which the previous reforms were overturned, this includes the president of the parliament publishing the proposal in the wee hours when nobody could reasonably read, understand and prepare discussions and forcing a vote 7am without any formal review. This, done by the president's own party majority following his precise wishes of "not changing one iota" of the proposal. These were identified by the Supreme Court as procedural violations. It is important to note that the president had no reason to do this, they still held a majority, they could've follow formal procedure, allow some discussion and still pass the new bills. (it is speculated that he did this specifically to turn up the heat on the Supreme Court issue to win over sympathy, in preparation for the elections that ran among other things on the judicial reform). There are many many more little things like this that seem innocuous on the surface but that hide nuance that is important to at least know about before passing judgment. There's the escalating of violence and many other areas to talk about. None of this is to negate any of the clear, solid social wins of president López Obrador, but it is important to understand where are his critics coming from. Yes, as Dr Ackerman mentioned, a lot it is knee-jerk reactions of the opposition, but there are aspects of his presidency that warrant close inspection and criticism.

Mexico is a shithole dominated by corrupt politicians and narco-terrorism. AMLO is a continuator and protector of all this.

Excellent report and reporter; I learned so much so clearly communicated; time well spent. Thank you!

[@peyotegardens]

Corruption is up, violence continues but everyone is making more money so people love him. As someone visiting and living half time in Mexico- it seems far far too dangerous in Mexico and that isn’t getting any better the last few years

[@assassinb460]

Well, those of us who live full-time in Mexico have seen a massive improvement on life here. Maybe you should stay in the USA.

[@peyotegardens]

@@assassinb460 wealth wise yes, but there is still rampant corruption, crime, poverty, extortion, kidnappings, and violence. No one in Mexico is safe compared from the fear of violence. Police still ask for bribes, the police extort every business in Nuevo León for money. If these threats were eliminated, wealth will flow into Mexico even more drastically. There is also an epidemic of cancer from uncontrolled growth- everyone in Mexico knows people dying early from pollution and chemicals

La verdad es que aquí pasa lo mismo, la lucha contra la pobreza se hace a través de la inversión, hoy he llegado a los 100.000. Estoy muy agradecida por todos los conocimientos y las perlas de información que me han brindado durante los últimos meses. Empecé con 30.000 en junio...
