Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas offers to work on government project

Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, former presidential candidate, regretted that, towards the 2024 election, no political party has an electoral project or proposal to solve the problems that exist in the País.Al present his book “For a Progressive Democracy”, considered that the parties are dedicated to attacking or supporting the Government of the Republic, when they must be working on their own approach. When questioning whether he would participate in the design of a far-reaching government plan, which transcends six-year terms as he proposes, he said yes, with any party or citizen organization. Of course, he clarified, not as a candidate, because “that already touches others.” To participate yes (I would be willing), to lead not necessarily. In it (in the political contest) I am precisely with ideas,” he said. Without mentioning President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Cárdenas said that although the deterioration that the country is experiencing in almost all areas – security, education, poverty, impunity, economy – comes from a long time ago, when a different path could have been taken, it was not taken. Therefore, he argued, this has been deteriorating, and you can not wait any longer to generate a 25- or 30-year plan, which is supervised every year.” The task that lies ahead is to consider the reconstruction of the Mexican State, to give it capacities so that it can fulfill the functions entrusted to it by the citizens and that, obviously, are not being fulfilled or are being done in a partial or small way, “he said. For example, he said, the oil and energy sectors have been dismantled in recent years, and it will take a lot of work to recover that human capacity. In this progressive project, he said, many issues converge, and it has to be so solid to resolve the present rights and those that are going to arise. He recognized that the neoliberal model did not work, but a different one is not being considered, so the time has come to rethink what economic model the country needs.” The invitation is to a debate, to a reflection of all, of course something that worries me, and worries me a lot, is that of the current political parties none has a proposal, let’s not think about a national plan, that or imagine it at the moment, but the most serious thing is that they do not have proposals, they are against the Government or in favor, but they don’t have their own proposals,” he said. He indicated that now it is not enough with the program of action or declaration of principles of the parties, but the important thing is that they have an electoral proposal if they come to lead or remain in the Government. ” I don’t know him at least (the Opposition’s plan) or they haven’t given him the disclosure that would be desirable. They only show that (you criticize the government), none is proposing changes in the economic model, in the political institutionality. (Morena) doesn’t have it either,” he said. We are always on time, but whenever more time passes we are going to delay more.” The great challenge, he acknowledged, is to form a group that calls for a national reflection or a debate on the problems and their solutions. For this reason, he indicated that universities, such as the University of the Americas -where he presented his book- or civil society groups, must now call for this reflection.” Constituting a group that is convening I think is one of the most difficult parts, because it is not about making a list of people, groups, but how we imagine the formation of a group that can effectively call for a reflection, to find the best ways to face the problems of the country, “he said.

He regretted that the PRD is so diminished or failed to be what was expected.
