There are his tendons, muscles, joints, internal organs, your injuries. Over the last week and during the debate on political reform, the country just watch an ultrasound of the PRI. Just witnessed a deep auscultation party that is close to returning to Los Pinos, despite presenting symptoms undemocratic. And the diagnosis says good things about the health of a body which claims to be modern, but hides frozen tumors, bone wear, extended lymphomas. The biopsy that Congress leave the operating room is full of atrophied cells, which seek to reproduce at the expense of citizens and balances. PRI-sonography performed in the lower house, presents a body that still contains the worst pathologies of the past.
pathologies evident in the opposition to the re-election as a universal mechanism for political and professional accountability. The opposition to independent candidacies as a spur to force the parties to air out, open, reform. Opposition to the citizens' initiative that would allow 200 000 citizens legislative initiative whose production legislators and the President currently monopolize. Opposition to the referendum in which 1 million 600 thousand citizens could promote referendums to participate in the definition of major national issues. All of them measures no longer seek to regulate how power is distributed, but how it enables better and more representative. All measures that the PRI reformers and reactionaries Senate passed the PRI in the House of Representatives just rejected. And the sonographic scan, which usually requires a range of 2 to 18 megahertz to reveal the soft tissue of a body, here only needed the order of a man.
intervention Enrique Peña Nieto. Sending an image "live" and in real time from Toluca, the cradle of the resistance to changing needs of Mexican democracy. Sending a scan to discover the muscles Toluca corporate clientele cavities, surfaces bowed servile Governors, congressmen lined up, kneeling peasant unions. Lawmakers head turned into nurses in the State of Mexico, who do not seek to cure the patient but to sell. Do not look back to health but put into a coma as he was for 71 years. Peña Nieto wanders the hospital corridors with white coat, hair standing, comforting smile. But no one measure surgical support can reinvigorate our ailing body politic, to remedy our ailing democracy dysfunctional, back foot using a transition can not walk forward.
Instead, Enrique Peña Nieto insists counter cure. Sold as a magic elixir would push Mexico to the prostration, euthanasia, the permanent bed. The return of the evil "governability clause" whereby the party that won 35 percent of the votes obtained more than 50 percent of the seats. The return of the PRI bulldozer that was used for decades to overturn the executive to the legislature. Justified by the argument, presented by former Attorney Edomex, Navarrete Prida, "that with her" let's avoid this pilgrimage (the jerking of the reforms) and let the people vote, not a fictional representation, to governance the country. "
"Governance" PRI-style, meaning an unchecked presidential system that produced crisis after crisis, disaster after disaster, mistake after mistake . "Governance" authoritarian style, meaning decisions from the executive and the legislature imposed. "Governance" centralist style, defined as the management of the economy from Los Pinos. With disastrous results as well Gabriel Zaid reminds us: "This was and so we went." bank nationalization of 1982. The inflation crisis of 1985. The crash of 1987. The 1994 economic debacle . The use of a unified government to wipe out balances and limit competition, restrain the debate. The use of legislative majorities to protect privilege, prop up authoritarian actors perpetuate impunity.
That's what I want to Peña Nieto and that slowed the process of political reform in the door. Because modernity proclaims, but wants to resurrect the mechanisms that impede its achievement. Because it argues that "one should not legislate on its knees" when he wants that to be the position if Members take it up to the presidency. Because he says so, "with legislative majority, could make structural reforms, when the first freeze. And the State of Mexico Governor ultrasound has just released the notes: undemocratic abnormalities and birth defects in the project for the country that want to deliver PRI.

+++++++++++++++++
Chavos under 30 years, Denise Dresser is masterfully describes the true PRI, the PRI always. The one who suffered in the 70's, 80's and 90's. For those who live in those times and know what happened, we understand that the last 10 years, with all its problems, have been much better than the previous 30 years. Low inflation, a digit, a growing middle class, fixed-rate mortgages, car loans, etc. Before the gasolinazo were twice overnight. The increases on fuel (still subsidized) we have now, are nothing to those who passed in the 80's and 90's. Ask your parents, your grandparents. Those were real crises that impoverished the country. Let not return.
