A MEXICAN'S POINT OF VIEW
Mexico Towards 2006
|
By Samuel Peña Guzman

|
The questions the media and many of us make today are: What will happen next year after the elections? Who will be our next president? Will there be any economic upheaval? What will happen inside PRI with the division it is facing? Will Lopez Obrador win? Will there be capitals flight? Will PAN receive punishment votes this time?
Well, there are so many questions we read every day in Mexican and foreign media regarding Mexico; however, the bottom line is precisely the lack of certainty which did not exist some years ago, when everything could be figured in advanced. Nowadays we are unable to do so; as a result of the existing democracy.
In two of the three largest political parties, there is internal struggle to become a presidential candidate. Undoubtedly the hardest fight is the one inside PRI. Even if the candidate is to be elected democratically, there is the risk today of, if you allow me, "shooting one's own foot." The struggle between the former PRI General Secretary, Elba Esther Gordillo, and the former Chairman of PRI National Executive Committee (CEN) and now presidential pre-candidate, Roberto Madrazo, has left the balance of internal division that puts at stake unity in said party. On the other hand, we must mention that the other candidate - who comes from a group that opposes Madrazo - Arturo Montiel has expressed some disagreements. Both Elba Esther and Montiel are against Roberto Madrazo's candidacy; Madrazo, on the other hand, worked to become a candidate when he was CEN Chairman.
