LOPEZ OBRADOR IMPEACHMENT APPROVED BY LAWMAKERS

In a historical session in the House of Representatives, last Thursday, Lopez Obrador impeachment was approved by the lawmakers. No, no celebration. No bell tolling. It causes no joy. This is a case that should had never happened in the first place. But at the stupid insistence of AMLO and his advisers (bad advisers, as can be seen), this last deed was a necessary and a good one for the rule of law’s sake.


But, of course, faithful to their violent tradition the PRD will not accept lawful verdicts by anyone when their group and personal interests alike are affected. So, they will keep fighting back, come what may.


First thing: they are trying to interpret the law according to their “understanding”. This is the cancer of Justice in México and the rest of the world: technical terms and interpretations of law that turn a criminal into an innocent lamb.


And contrary to the foreign and local journalists predictions of disasters proclaiming in every direction that the country was “on the brink”, the climate in the whole country: north to south, east to west, is as usual: calm.


The impeachment case has had the front pages of the México City newspapers and political magazines from many months ago and these days it is no exception. NOT SO in most of the country. Will that be understood some day?


But, again this “political party” with the willful and $ervile help of those journalist will keep looking for a way to sow the seeds of discord.


No matter that the most inner circle of assistants to Lopez Obrador were shown in videos and found guilty in corruption cases involving thousands of hundreds of dollars.


The best exposure of all: The one made by Juan de Dios Castro Lozano that discovered the real cause for the disobedience by Lopez Obrador to the judge order: MONEY, MONEY, MONEY (makes the world go ‘round, the world go ‘round).


One little note: Did you notice that most of the lawmakers can hardly do a good reading? They sound like first grade school kids. There are super honorable exceptions like Juan de Dios Castro Lozano, Alvaro Elias, Rosalía Ladrón de Guevara (great!), and the many- years- ago- student leader Pablo Gomez, that still lives in the 60’s.


One of the many funny things: Most of the PRD were long time members of the PRI, when it was in the power, and now they attack vigorously the “evil tricks” and “authoritarianism” of this last party. If they are so just and fair, why did they stay there for so many years?


I left for the end the comment on the defense speech of Lopez Obrador. It was a sad view that before the overwhelming force of truth, excellently exposed by the Sub-Attorney Carlos Vega Memije, with data and hard proofs in hand, the Mayor of México City could not hold the so much expected level of debate and he resorted to the cheap and old trick of political maneuvering by throwing diatribes, slandering, lessening and putting the blame on others, but the worst he could do was: To leave the room!


It was a golden opportunity given up by Lopez Obrador, he had this chance to prove México and the world that he was innocent, if he believed he ever was!


Plain and simply: He failed to be at the expected level.


How sad for him and how sad for México!
