translated from Spanish: A Choice of Structures – The Opinion of Miguel Pérez Pompa

Mexican political resabios say that an election in our country is not won, but that it is operated, as Lennin said about the Revolutions and their organization. To be told the truth is that these sayings are not far from reality, because recognizing the historical background of our country and how our democratic system has evolved we can confirm this aphorism that is used quite a lot in the Mexican political class or within the circles of intellectuals who occasionally try to find the black thread of this science.
So needless to say that elections are operated through the political structures of each party, and even some that are not part of them, that is why now in the midst of the health contingency and about to start the elections in our state are reflected the sayings that elections are only won with structure and that only the consolidated parties in Michoacán can compete on the margins of that to discard for a aside measurements, popularity and the governance platform, a maxim that didn’t do them much good in the 2018 election.
Of course, this points out against the National Regeneration Movement which for now represents the breath of change for the bernatura in the state, since it has always been criticized and even being the target of the taunts of representatives of the other political parties by ensuring that the Labour party lacks structure, sayings that are false. It is false because we could not compare the way in which the Structure of the Brunette has been formed against the other parties that have used the public power to be able to combine a client base that responds only to their interests.
The structure of the Morena is built from the popular organization, where citizens are aware that neoliberal policies have caused so much harm to our country, citizens who know that the only way to save the nation is to organize itself in a heterogeneous way, recognizing equality between a peasant and an entrepreneur, recognizing that only a change can be achieved by peaceful means. That is the structure of the Morena, which may well be criticized for its bad organization, its internal fights for control of the party and the candidacies but which today is the largest in Mexico.
So perhaps, the structure of the Brunette does not have multiple names or is divided into sectors as usual in the other parties, that it does not grant badges or badges to the leaders or chiefs of the colonies, that does not force the affiliates of the trade unions to register as representatives of the box, or that does not fill events with the workers of their governments threatening them with their work permanence. Finally, elections do win with structures, what they really find difficult to accept is that their structures no longer exist in the same way they organized 2006 voter fraud and the purchase of the presidency in 2012
