For decades the family television program was “En Familia con Chabelo”. On Sunday mornings he entertained the children, relieved dads from the morning grazing or plunged them into the depression of the ill-cured hangover with contests in which anyone would enter the catafixia to change the living room of the house for a clamato with Tecate.
Contests, songs, dancing hostesses, intervention of the representatives of the Ministry of the Interior attesting to the legality of the raffles and raffles, “En Familia” was, among other things, Xavier López, Chabelo’s passport to eternity. Nobody like him knew how to testify the births and deaths of entire families. Beyond family entertainment. Chabelo was part of Mexican sentimental education for decades.
Of course, with the change of times, television children’s entertainment moved to other forms and multiple offers. Today television entertainment is run by the President of the Republic. His morning lectures have become a comedic program in which live music and competitions with the public are lacking. The jokes and laughter are part of the script and although it is a funny program, the white humor is guaranteed. The mornings are also an involuntary tribute to Capulina.
In recent days, a debate was fueled over the name that López Obrador’s morning exhibitions could carry. There were those who suggested that he could be called Andrés de América, to match the Peruvian Laura Bozzo, or Andrés, cases of real life. However, En familia con Andrés Manuel seemed to have the greatest approval since it is a program in which the participants have a great time, like at home, they laugh at the same jokes and everyone applauds the main comedian.
Of course, no one imagined that the program would end in the case of Andrés Manuel’s family. The video – another video – released last week by Carlos Loret in which one of the brothers – another of the brothers – of the President appears receiving public money is yet another example of the enormous hypocrisy of the National Palace preacher. All are corrupt, all families are rotten, all those who do not commune with him are cursed, they have no values, they are doomed. The point is that whoever lashes out at others is incapable of starting with –literally– their home. Two of his brothers have been exposed as members of some scam or, to say the least, a fraud with public money. But the man who is all purity ends up denying his own, admits no stain from anyone, not even his blood. In his vileness, the President has been able to deny one of his brothers, publicly ignore him: “I no longer have brothers,” he said in reference to his brother Arturo in 2016. Now he made it clear that his brother Martín has been doing more than five years that he has not seen.
The President has to carry his family. Even if you step aside. But, it must be said, the family also has to bear with that bad person that is Andrés Manuel, someone who thinks he is a saint, that his own do not deserve it, that is beyond the weak earthly human beings full of sin. “I no longer belong to myself,” warned the man who is all humility and simplicity while warning us that maybe there are problems “with a daughter-in-law.”
En familia con Andrés Manuel is the new national soap opera. A show of jokes and witticisms in which the drama of moral misery and lies is also experienced; a daily program in which no family is saved, not even that of the older comedian.
