Neither before nor after, nothing…

They are among those who confuse forgiveness with apologies, which is not the same. Despite the vacation, I have read almost everything that has been published about President López Obrador’s brief visit to President Joe Biden on Wednesday at the White House, and as in previous visits, we are left with official versions of what they want to be known.            And look at what a veteran who covered the first in his professional life on August 20, 1970, when in an incipient Puerto Vallarta, Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, on his way out, received a then all-powerful Richard Nixon. It was the first time I had seen in person a president of the United States, whom I would see again less than a month later, on September 4, during the correspondence of the visit, in San Diego California.            Since then I have had to cover all the interviews of the presidents of Mexico to those of the United States and those that these to our country, until last week which did not keep me away journalistically neither from the details nor from the reactions.            Of the first thing I must say that there was more for the color than for the note: that if the tie, that if the button, that if how it sat, that if the feet, that its leaves, that if the reading time, that if Biden did not receive it at the entrance, that if he processed it quickly because he had a picnic, that if in the afternoon he went on a trip.            And, in those summits, the important thing never transcends, and what they want to give importance, either.            This has always been the case and this was the case last week, no matter how much they insist as in the past, in the “before and after” of the meeting, before and after that has never existed and things have always remained the same, with interviews or without interviews. RETALES1.     STORY. The director of Fonatur, Javier May, was the first to make effective the presidential maxim that they did not go with the story that the law is the law, by lifting, yes, lifting the definitive suspension of a judge and by his own restart the stopped work of section 5 of the Mayan Train. He said that it is of “national security”, and with that he had, as he says that allows such a decree;2.     BUT. In the same vein, Jaime Bonilla has refused to leave the seat as the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Power of the Federation ruled, a ruling that is irappealable but there is already the antecedent of not coming to me with the story of the law and continues to maintain privileges such as that of the jurisdiction, which is now the most important. The serious thing is that no governing body of the Senate enforces the Constitution; y3.     ECHO. Mario Delgado, who wants to be the next head of government of the CDMX, seeks to compete with Claudia Sheinbaum with the echo method. Yesterday he highlighted López Obrador’s statement about his confidence that “next year,” in five months, “his government will stop importing gasoline and diesel” when they know that this is impossible and bet on oblivion. See you tomorrow, but in private.
