Even in my most vicious nightmares would I have imagined that at this point in 2008, the main protagonist of the media would be Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Why? Because it is assumed that Mr. lost the election year and a half ago, and when a candidate loses, do not go away, at least no longer of interest to the press, radio and television. Don Andrés Manuel
not, he is still a matter of debate, who sets the agenda and who gives such notice and as we have been observing in recent days.
Like you, I've seen, heard and read how many journalists, some of the most famous of the country, refer to El Peje with contempt, hate, irony, anger and resentment.
And yes, much contempt, so much hate, irony, anger and resentment but ultimately the only ones being bad are they for Mr. López Obrador may seem that these journalists want, like and send, but still the great emotional leader of our nation.
is also very smart because it moves as the best performing legends of the past 100 years.
Don Andrés Manuel does not agree to be interviewed when the media want to interview, he decides who will ask, on what topics, when and where.
And journalists are offended, and angry, and declare that no information blockade, offer their spaces, and almost, almost, put their orders.
Is not it amazing? I wonder how many people from politics, culture, sports and entertainment can give Mexican luxuries given Mr. López Obrador.
Not only that, how many can do away with it coming out, falling well to certain sectors of the population and following up in the list of sources consulted. Because
Andrés Manuel López Obrador is like Carmen Salinas, you can talk about whatever he wants and is always news. Always.
What happens here? Why Mr. López Obrador has such a presence? Why has so much power? Why sell? Because it is not true, is a fantasy.
Since losing the election, Andrés Manuel López Obrador no longer a man of flesh and bone to become a symbolic representation of the huge frustrations that we Mexicans.
one hand, some people don Andrés Manuel takes the perspective of defeat of injustice and suffering, and feels that he identifies with him, which is like him.
and follows up on each of their statements because they are the things you say, wise or foolish, but a product of all that anger, discrimination and loss.
other hand there are people who take Mr. López Obrador from the perspective of superiority, rejection and intolerance, and feel they are different from him, better than him.
and follow through with each of his statements to refute them, because they are the things you never say, wise or foolish, but also the product of the anger of another rage, and discrimination, another form of discrimination, and defeat, another style of defeat.
The key to the success of Andrés Manuel López Obrador as a social phenomenon that always confronts us with our deepest wounds, angry and upset because we know that those wounds will never close.
worst that could happen to this first major of the Mexican character of the new millennium is to succeed. Pedro Infante would be as if he had not died, as if Maria Felix had not been a diva. Would be the end of myth.
How long will take the role of Andrés Manuel López Obrador in our society? Until we make a mistake like Subcomandante Marcos, until Election 2012 or until another character does not arise with the same weight in our popular culture.
But who? Felipe Calderón does not exist in terms of legend, no one has bothered to invent, is perceived gray, tiny and his collaborators, rather than marry the collective imagination, appear on the covers of magazines social making them instantly into enemies of people.
Who knows what will happen in this country in the coming years, but who already bought tickets for posterity is Andrés Manuel López Obrador, as Colosio, as Clouthier. Do not tell me no? Álvaro Cueva
