The love affair of Mexicans with the president continues 100 days after her arrival to power, with approval percentages reaching 80%, four points more than just a month ago. There are not many elements yet to qualify a good government, but nor to criticize it, so that citizens feel satisfied with the vote they cast in the elections, which raised Claudia Sheinbaum as the person with the most votes in the country’s recent history. . “A huge disaster would have to have occurred for a person who received so many votes to lose support in such a short time,” says Heidi Osuna, director of Enkoll, the house that carried out this survey for EL PAÍS and W Radio between the 3rd and the January 5 through 1,203 interviews in homes. The retrospective vote is always higher than the real vote, that is, when people are asked who they voted for in the previous elections, the majority side with the winner. That is also what happens now with Sheinbaum. And whoever lost the most, the most preferences are taken away. It’s the Matthew effect.
Sorry, I don’t mean this with any disrespect but I’m not following your point at all. USSR was unpopular in Mexico or didn’t have any influence but Trotsky’s visit was the thing that grew Mexican Left politics which maybe led to MORENA?
Either he was right Mexico was the good place for a revolutionary to go because the area had good energy to work with. Or his legacy and the general spread of trosktist cadres helped in some way. If either is true I systematically undervalued his contributions to orthodox theory and I need to read more. It could be neither but at this point I am not well ready enough to say with any level of certainty
That’s fair. Like everyone, it’s totally possible that Trotsky had some decent ideas and a lot of terrible ones though. Just like it’s possible that Stalin did a lot of good things and made some mistakes—like stopping at Berlin.
