"Without freedom, democracy is despotism, not democracy freedom is a chimera "OCTAVIO PAZ

Two political news for the state: good and bad. The good news is for the PRI, he has resumed full control throughout the chorizo \u200b\u200bVeracruz, which highlights the political talacha left made the former governor Fidel Herrera Beltrán and continues Javier Duarte de Ochoa. They have a full car. They own the game, the stadium, the public, players, ball and even a referee. The bad news is for democracy, understood that democracy is not only the act go to the polls and vote. Democracy is a system of government that criticism is strengthened, with the debate. Democracy includes majorities and minorities. Take control alone has no joke. This comes to mind regarding the recent visit to the state of Veracruz de Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the popular "Peje" in the last election for President of the Republic began to give birth to twins PAN Felipe Calderón. "El Peje" came to promote "National Regeneration Movement, MORENA. They are kicking revive drowned leftist political fever. But sadly, the same "Peje" and found two three leftists opposition in Veracruz and hands folded, took the wrong step, but the evil step was taken with the feet, not with the mind and reason. The "Peje" came and he realized that the river that was thinking that was a maiden, had a husband.

In a series of political writings, collected in the book "Dreams of Freedom", the Mexican writer Octavio Paz lucid (RIP) talks about the time they were on PRI, wrote that after the student riots of 1968 and after the outbreak of rebellion in Chiapas in 1994. The volume includes a famous essay which he called "The Philanthropic Ogre," as defined in the PRI, by that which maintained a peculiar hegemony in Mexico, but when he needed support of the people, appealed to trade unions and affiliated organizations to ensure the applause and especially: votes. Octavio Paz was insistent that Mexico was doing much damage (other than colonialism, revolutionary era of the warlords) a sector that few see but has a strong presence: the bureaucracy. The bureaucracy in Mexico tucks compadres, relatives, godchildren and others. When the time was fulfilled for the PRI. Now it's up to the PRD and the opposition movement that rose (and with high hopes for many Mexicans) Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The analysis of Octavio Paz, Nobel Prize winner, who also gave a fiery speech in Jerusalem or in writing the biography of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz in "The Traps of Faith," stepped "for two decades-what Mexican left alive today and Veracruz in particular. "They (political parties) must choose the way civilized and co-govern, not from power but from the critique of power, not the cabinet, but in the parliamentary seat. For the opposition parties in Veracruz, in the words peace, seems to beat the passion and not ideas. Octavio Paz said that the PRD: "It is a heterogeneous gathering of groups, ideologies, interests, people and defiance, must find (soon) a clear agenda and a face. The groups that form should tell us what they really want and what ideas and projects that unite us. So far he has collected discontent, often legitimate, many Mexicans today have to stop being an agglomeration (heap, so) and presented as a real party with ideas and a program.

The project of "Peje" was dying slowly in Veracruz. The PRD put feet first and the cut; put his hands and smeared, and when they wanted to stick their head, flew them. There were, like Japanese, hara-kiri, died slowly bleeding to death, watching his offense. In the last state contest, the candidate of the opposition alliance was not even PRD. It was Dante Delgado, founder of Convergence. Whether by strategy or embarrassment, but neither gubernatorial candidate or candidates for mayors and local deputies used the yellow Aztec Sun Party: they used the white and said "people's candidates" when is well known that the Federal Code for Electoral Institutions and Procedures (COFIPE) provides that the contestants must be grouped into a political party. There are no independent candidates or "people's candidates."

the way for Mexico to enjoy true democracy is the political parties on electoral reforms in processes more equitable. With the demise of political parties, ideas, alternative projector, democracy is not consolidated. Veracruz (primarily southern) loses - with the disappearance of the draft Andrés Manuel López Obrador, a political choice. His Moreno is a desperate move from left to remind they had it, that was his and let her go. And can not say as they said "The Zempve'rs" Oye morena, tell me what you eat so well. Opponents had PRI mayors (Rotter, in Coatzacoalcos, Jesuit Cosleacaque Perdomo) had local and federal deputies. But if we seek to remove the ruins of the left, only to find ashes.

Federico Arreola, a former director of the daily Milenio, narrated that when Andrés Manuel López Obrador happened once to the south of Veracruz, was in Acayucan and then going to happen to eat pork before Soconusco; finally went to eat at a restaurant in Cosoleacaque and tasted a seafood soup served in a casserole. It is not easy to "El Peje" I see again in these parts. In their project, their ideas, their Morena (National Regeneration Movement), and gave no Bisque: atole gave the finger.
