President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has refused to comment on the horde of far-right fanatics that stormed the US Congress and left five dead. But yesterday, for the second day in a row, the president criticized the main digital platforms blocking the accounts of Donald Trump for inciting the violence that occurred in Washington DC. “A world government is not going to be created with the power of control of social networks, a world media power; in addition, a court of censorship, like the Holy Inquisition, but for the management of public opinion. It is very serious ”. A few hours later, the son of the American president, Donald Trump Jr., He tweeted: “We are living Orwell’s 1984. Freedom of speech no longer exists in the United States. He died with the big technology corporations and what remains is only for a select few. ” The Mexican president must be worried: since he began his term in office, he has said that he does not need the media because he communicates directly with the people via social networks, but they have already shown signs that they will not tolerate polarizing discourse and I hate, what will he do if his accounts are suspended too?
The impossible 72 hours
Yesterday, President López Obrador promised that, if his proposal is approved in Congress to eliminate autonomous organizations, requests for information must be fulfilled in a fast-track manner in 72 hours, or otherwise, he warned, the officials who do so will be sanctioned. do. However, experts in transparency and file management tell us that this statement, despite being attractive, has no basis, since there is information that needs to be collected and it takes more than 72 hours to do so. The deadlines that were established in the current transparency law, they tell us, were not someone’s occurrence, they were made so that the authority’s responses were exhaustive and detailed in service of the requesting citizen. Volunteering is not enough to be transparent. That simple
The “open” candidates of the former PES
The emerging party Encuentro Solidario and previously Encuentro Social, which runs Hugo Eric Flores, announced that more than 1,200 citizens have registered to seek a federal council for this political institute. They tell us that on December 18 they opened their candidacies to all citizens, who will be able to participate in their internal process just by registering through the party’s website. They tell us that of the 1,200 registered citizens, 834 citizens have already successfully completed their process. But it will be the State Steering Committees and the national leadership who do a series of interviews in order to select the candidates for federal councils. It should be remembered that one of them is the former Chivas footballer, Adolfo “El Bofo” Bautista.
