Mexico vive una guerra interna por el control de la Nacion. Dos polos, dos bandos, dos ejercitos con dos ideas distintas de Republica buscan controlar su destino. Durante 40 anos, el pais estuvo montado sobre los rieles del neoliberalismo; 40 anos en los que se acentuaron la pobreza y la desigualdad, mientras se consolidaba el control de una elite sobre las politicas publicas, las instituciones, la economia, la educacion de las masas y hasta sobre los organos autonomos. Esa elite tomo decisiones que impactaron en la vida de millones de mexicanos. La elite, sin embargo, perdio el poder hegemonico. Una fuerza surgida de la izquierda, abiertamente opositora al neoliberalismo pero aun metida en esos zapatos, tomo el control federal en 2018. No ha asumido del todo las riendas de la economia, de las politicas publicas o de las instituciones de la Nacion y enfrenta fuertes resistencias del grupo que domino al pais.

The Dispute over Mexico

Mexico is living an internal war for the control of the Nation. Two poles, two sides, two armies with two different ideas of the Republic seek to control its destiny. For 40 years, the country was mounted on the rails of neoliberalism; 40 years in which poverty and inequality were accentuated, while the control of an elite over public policies, institutions, the economy, the education of the masses and even over autonomous bodies was consolidated. This elite made decisions that impacted the lives of millions of Mexicans. The elite, however, lost hegemonic power. A force emerged from the left, openly opposed to neoliberalism -but still tucked into those shoes-, took federal control in 2018. It has not fully taken over the reins of the economy, public policies or the Nation's institutions and faces strong resistance from the group that dominated the country.
