The transition of power in Mexico has occurred gradually and subtly, without drawing much attention. Although it may seem insignificant to some citizens, the reality is that significant changes have taken place. Some members of Morena in Coahuila have classified clientelistic programs as electoral handouts, which has generated internal disputes within the party.
Despite appearances, the new President follows the same path laid out by her predecessor, violating constitutional and legal provisions during the electoral process. Even her predecessor, AMLO, openly revealed his support for her during a gathering in the Zócalo in December 2023.
The transition of power seems to be part of a carefully designed plan, with clearly identifiable successive stages. One of the main elements of this process is the marked differentiation that some members of the commentary community make between the current leader and her predecessor, pointing out the mistakes and controversies of the previous government.
Furthermore, there is criticism regarding the lack of critical articles in Mexico's main monthly magazines, suggesting a decrease in criticism from the commentary community. Despite some expectations of a break between the new President and her predecessor, she herself has made it clear that there will be no significant changes in her policy. Her appointment appears to follow the pattern of presidential decisions made in Mexico's past.
