Judging by the conceptions so well expressed by Felipe Calderón in his speech after taking the oath of office as president of the Republic of Mexico this Friday, December 1st, it is logical to expect that his government will be administratively and politically excellent.
This would be the best way to counter his enemies who have discredited México with the scandalous behavior of the legislators of the losing party and, mainly, by the behavior of his contender in the campaign, the former mayor of México City, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Calderón’s Party of National Action (PAN) is an earnest party that wants to keep what is good and work on its development. In the face of the outrages of the last few months from the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) of López Obrador, that paralyzed the capital with subversive activities supposedly in the name of democracy, what corresponds is a prudent, sensible administration, inspired by the desire to foment national well-being, especially among the poorest peoples in the country.
It seems that the immediate collaborators of Calderón are capable Secretaries of State anxious to cooperate with the president. And it must be taken into account that this president, albeit being relatively young, has significant experience and is considered to be a citizen with patriotic convictions, a patriotism that is shared by his collaborators.
Moreover, it is important that the legislators belonging to his party, PAN, have the wise collaboration of the legislators from the PRI, although it is not yet know what degree of commitment is involved but there are manifestations – incidentally quite understandable – that they are imbued with a spirit of collaboration and not of confrontation.
In López Obrador’s party there are many, possibly or surely not members of Congress, who do not agree with the intransigence of the defeated candidate and the way in which he exploited passions and situations that have hurt México’s image and that have not helped at all the general well-being of the country. On the contrary, they have been very detrimental.
Very soon it will be possible to know the course of the new Administration. México needs that it be successful. |
