Chico Ché and negotiation

No one can feel entitled to win. In the conflict unleashed by the governments of the United States and Canada against that of Mexico, which it accuses of violating USMCA agreements on hydrocarbons, there are only two soups: either Mexico wins the panel of controversies or it loses it with the burden of a chain of tariffs on our exports to both countries. There is no more. Everything that is said about this conflict is pyrotechnics and, now, politicking. The operators of President López Obrador, and himself, have wrapped themselves in the banner of sovereignty, the defense of oil and respect for the Constitution, which are not at stake in this dispute, but it is very profitable in the discourse of the struggle of the good, them, against the bad, everyone else. I understand it and I explain it to myself. But behind that rhetoric must be the serious and documented, professional operation, the reasoned and firm defense of Mexican arguments both in this first tranche and in the case of the panel, which if it were to agree with the other two parties, would open a devastating chapter of tariff sanctions on Mexican exports, even worse than those that López Obrador avoided when he gave in to Trump’s threats if he did not support him in the immigration containment. That’s the real bottom line. For the galleries we can continue with the Uy what a fear, look how I am shaking! of the great Chico Ché, but where decisions are made to negotiate hard, effectively and seriously. RETALES1. BANDERAS.- As far as I remember, this is the first strike to break out in Teléfonos de México since it was privatized in 1990 and acquired by Carlos Slim. The previous one was in 1974, in the government of Luis Echeverría who ordered its requisition. There emerged the figure of the young leader Francisco Hernández Juárez, 28, who today continues to lead the union of 24,878 workers. We do not know what the government’s reaction is, will there be a requisition?, nor the impact on users;2. YESTERDAY, impunity was pointed out here in the murder of the Jesuits Joaquín and Javier, and of Pedro, the guide, one month after the triple homicide. In the morning, Undersecretary Ricardo Mejía denied this, saying that there are fourteen detainees and nine subject to trial. Which is true, as is also true that the murderer identified as El Chueco, is still free. And the section in which he intervenes is called Zero Impunity, so there is no room for his exit; y3. SILENCE.- The absence, the silence of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation before the violation of the definitive suspension of a federal judge for the construction of section 5 of the Mayan Train is no longer striking. Some people told me that it is based on the presidential decree of those who said that they did not go with the story that the law is the law. I didn’t know I had already crossed the street of Corregidora.See you on Tuesday, but in private.
