Diego Pietersen: Delirium Informant

power delirium. All powerful tend to confuse reality. What López Obrador says is true: the president is the best informed person in the country, which does not mean that the country he sees is any less real than the one he tells us about. The president can get distorted information, no doubt, but the central problem with distortion is in the way the delusional person processes the information.

We laughed until we were tired of the president’s delirium who reported that the health system was already better than Denmark. From the exclamation of Interior Secretary Luisa María Alcalde to Congress (because it was not a speech) when delivering the VI report of “the best president in the history of Mexico.” or on the election of Judges, Magistrates, and Ministers of the Judiciary, with nil votes, nil abstentions, and a vote by all who are present in favor of the President’s project. Or the proposal to put in gold letters in Oaxaca’s congress, the campaign slogan with Juarez and Zapata’s famous phrase “for the good of all, before the poor.” The problem is that behind the scenes a country is at stake in a mix of Luis Estrada’s “Herod’s Law” and Woody Allen’s “Bananas.”

The Home Secretary can think about what he wants about the government and the president he works for. What should be demanded of him is that he loses perspective of his role. He was not in an assembly, he was as the representative of the executive branch in an act of accountability before the legislative branch. There is no president who is not a winner, everyone has been and will be to a greater or lesser extent. What is fragile in the case of powerful politicians, be it presidents or popular governors, is leaping into chimeras from manipulation; Distortion of facts from facts.

produce any additional distortion of the force. How do we know when we’ve moved from the exercise of campaign manipulation to the general delirium of politics? There is no way, no break in confusion, but rather a continuum where manipulation becomes a habit.

There are no strong good or bad ones; There is limited capacity and unbridled capacity that causes delirium. Laughing at power is a healthy habit, because it desacralizes the powerful, but it is not enough. We need, for the good of all, to build and protect the counterweights that, in delirium, the President calls for dynamiting. If anyone has any doubt what they’re in for, there’s the sixth report.
