EL DÍA DEL PRESIDENTE

Posted by Juan Carlos Yáñez Velazco

Durante varios años el 1 de septiembre era un día feliz para los niños de entonces. Nosotros. ¡Se suspendían clases! Es que era un día grande: el presidente de la república rendía su informe de gobierno. En realidad, él leía un larguísimo texto en cadena nacional (los tres canales de televisión lo transmitían sin misericordia), los diputados y senadores, casi todos del mismo partido, le rendían pleitesía y se rendían a sus pies, a sus órdenes y le juraban la más abyecta lealtad, si era necesario. ¿El pueblo? Pues nada. Una masa de ignorantes que no estaban preparados para tomar decisiones, para la democracia y había que conducirlos como una manada, entre más obediente, mejor. Luego, todo mundo (o sea, periodistas en periódicos, en televisión, políticos, gobernantes) hablaba maravillas de ese muy bonito y pacífico país que éramos, aguantador y católico, priista y guadalupano. El país casi siempre fue dando tumbos, a veces caminando pa’tras, a veces arrastrándose, pero esa fecha era el Día del Presidente y su magnanimidad estaba a resguardo de maledicencias.

Ese es el recuerdo más antiguo que tengo de los 1 de septiembre.

Con los años, llegó la muy frágil democracia, la alternancia partidista, los primeros gobernadores de oposición, las caras de puerco en el Congreso, las pancartas y banderas nacionales en tribuna, las interpelaciones durísimas, y los presidentes optaron por no asistir más y enviar su informe al Congreso, mientras, con los derechos que les concede la ley, sin molestias ni interpelaciones y gente fea, por televisión leen unos mensajes bellísimos a la república de los súbditos.

Ese es el recuerdo más fresco del 1 de septiembre.

¿Cómo será mañana?

    Triste comedia lo de los informes que se rendían (rinden) en este día. Un día de halagos falsos, verdades ocultas, intereses defendidas, política de conveniencia, círculos cerrado, pueblo ignorado, derechos inhibidos o prohibidos, etc.

    1. The government do not think about security of the people.

    2. What they really matter is if they are ok.

    3. They don’t ask the opinion of the rest, they do what’s best for
    them.

    4. In my opinion, there is not really democracy.

    1. The president is a glorified thief, who thinks about it but not in it´s people.

    2. They say that the democracy it´s an opportunity for the people choose who you want as rules, but it´s hard to believe that.

    3. The electoral campaigns are nothing more than an fanfare.

    4. They say to you that can choose, but in reality there is only black and white.

    1.- The goverment of Mexico is hiding information that doesn’t let the people know about it.
    2.- Televisa is sold by PRI, they don’t talk about negative things from EPN.
    3.- People should know that all what the president said in his 1st government report, is false.
    4.-I don’t think i should be happy with this, because more than the half of Mexico still in poverty, and the USD is gaining terrain against the Mexican peso.
