The other day I talked with someone from Chihuahua. And how are things over there? Well well, he told me she. And the insecurity? Well normal, when we go they know what to do and what not. For example, in the van there are always two women in the front seats: if we bump into something they don’t stop us, if men were driving it would be different.

The other day I talked with someone who has been spending a lot of time in the Cuernavaca metropolitan area for a long time. Has the violence spiked? Normal, he explained it to me. Usually how. I mean, yes, but as someone in my family said: we’ve been locked up for 15 years.

Days later I spoke with someone whose family recently moved to the city of eternal spring. They are in what many would describe as almost paradise. Many, but not his son, who feels that after spending time abroad he has lost his freedom and is learning to distinguish rockets from bullets. great education.

Yesterday I listened to the President of the Republic after a video circulated on Sunday night of an alleged collective murder in San José de Gracia, so close to Mazamitla, so close to so many bucolic memories for so many Michoacán and Jalisco residents.

I don’t know how many people are worried about what you see in that video. I assume a lot, surely too much. In San José de Gracia, in Michoacán, in Jalisco and in Mexico, you don’t need to be from the region for the possibility that a massacre has occurred to sting the soul.

Quite a few people, but from what we saw, not Andrés Manuel López Obrador. He is worried about Liébano Sáenz and Chumel Torres. By an analyst/pollster and a humorist.

Words count. The messages more. Yesterday the President of the Republic did not open his morning with a position that he will be in charge of clarifying everything and soon; He also did not assure that his government will prevent criminals from forming firing squads, who decide not only on the life of whoever they like, but also do so with impudence.

The first question that the palero on duty asked the President was whether he is really tired or not. Question that surely the questioner and his employer believe that he has the country in suspense (with apologies to Mr. Luis González y González).

About the time the president finally stopped rubbing his ego and they asked him about the Michoacán video. Not a minute did he spend on those facts when he was already talking about his opponents and the multitude of commonplaces that he prescribes every morning from the Palace.

But what the President who wakes up at dawn to meet with his security cabinet did make clear is that he had nothing clear. That 12 hours after the events, the federal government could not say yes or that there had not been a tumultuous death in San José de Gracia. The President who presumed that nothing escapes the President of Mexico did not know (and apparently he was not very interested in knowing) what happened in Michoacán the day before.

The words and the message are clear. The National Palace is concerned about what is done with what happens in Mexico, not what happens in Mexico, in Michoacán, in Cuernavaca, in Chihuahua…

In the country of pozoleros, of the graves of Veracruz, Taxco or Tlajomulco, of the shootings in Morelos, of the young people murdered in Zacatecas, the President is concerned about Chumel and Liébano. Message received.
