Former Mexican president Luis Echeverria turns 100 years old today. He connected Mexico and China during the 1970’s. He also suggested that the UN included China as a member. Echeverria is regarded as an “old friend of China” and Chinese ambassadors still pay their respects to him.

AMLO visits the USA

ENGLISH
Although I don’t think it’s very wise to travel these days during a pandemic period, I was glad to see that our president started his day in Washington, DC honoring the legacy of Abraham Lincoln & Benito Juarez. These two men were presidents of their countries during the 1860’s and both of them transformed the destiny of their people.

During his first international trip, Mexican president AMLO honored Abraham Lincoln in the US capital. I saw this monument in 1978 when I was an exchange student in the USA. Our Social Science teacher also organized a visit inside the White House!

Mexican president AMLO also honored former Mexican president Benito Juarez in the US capital by visiting his statue. Juarez is very famous for stating that “Amongst individuals and Nations, respecting each others rights brings peace”.

ESPAÑOL
Aunque me parece inoportuno viajar en estos momentos de pandemia, me dio gusto ver que nuestro presidente iniciara su día en Washington, DC honrando la memoria de Abraham Lincoln y de Benito Juárez. Ambos hombres fueron presidentes en los 1860’s transformando a sus respectivos países. 

En su primera visita al extranjero AMLO honró la memoria de Abraham Lincoln en la capital de EEUU. Yo visité ese monumento en 1978 cuando estuve de intercambio en EEUU durante la secundaria. Nuestro profesor de ciencias sociales también organizó una visita al interior de la Casa Blanca.

El presidente AMLO también honró la memoria del Benemérito de las Américas Benito Juárez. Todos los mexicanos conocemos su célebre frase “Entre los individuos, como entre las Naciones, el respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz”.

PNR 1929

ENGLISH

Mexico’s Revolutionary Institutional Party (PRI) stayed in power for 71 years (1929-2000) being the only country with a single party ruling the country for such a long time. It started as PNR (National Revolutionary Party). This year the Communist Party of China will complete 70 years in power. It will soon tie Mexico’s world record.

 

China

ESPAÑOL

El Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) de México gobernó el país durante 71 años seguidos (1929-2000). En ningún país del mundo un partido politico se ha mantenido en el poder tanto tiempo. Inicialmente se le conocía como PNR (Partido Nacional Revolucionario). En 2019 el Partido Comunista de China se acercará a este record mundial al cumplir 70 años en el poder.

ENGLISH

We have a new president in Mexico. His name is Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and he is the first “leftist” president in the history of our country. He is also the first one to receive the “Power Baton” from Mexico’s 68 Original Tribes & Afromexicans. He decided not to live in the “Mexican White House” known in Mexico as “Los Pinos”. Instead he opened it for the People of Mexico as a Museum since December 1st. The “Mexican White House” is 14 bigger than the one in the USA.

ESPAÑOL

A partir de hoy Andrés Manuel López Obrador es el nuevo presidente de México. Es el primer presidente de izquierda que tiene el país  y el primero en la historia en recibir el “Bastón de Mando” por parte de los 68 pueblos originarios y los afromexicanos. Además, AMLO como es conocido el presidente por las siglas de sus nombre, decidió no vivir en la residencia presidencial conocida como “Los Pinos” para convertirla en museo, mismo que desde el 1 de diciembre abrió sus puertas al público. Los Pinos es 14 veces más grande que la Casa Blanca de Estados Unidos.

A Multy-party System

IMG_8884ENGLISH

Last year on February 26th (less than 24 hours after I arrived to Mexico after spending almost 20 years living in Asia) I was invited by my neighbors to witness Fernando Elizondo’s campaign launch who was running for state governor representing a political party that I was not familiar with: Citizens Movement (Movimiento Ciudadano). When I graduated from college back in 1988 one party ruled all of Mexico’s 32 states. Today, there are 5 parties ruling across the Mexican states and one independent candidate who became the first “independent” governor in Mexican History (in my home state of Nuevo León). His nickname is “El Bronco” and he is being supported by Fernando Elizondo who merged his political expertise to support El Bronco’s 6-year government term.

Red=PRI; Blue=PAN; Yellow=PRD; Orange=Citizen’s Movement; Green=Green Party; Gray=Independent Candidate

Justo a menos de 24 horas después de haber regresado a México (después de haber vivido casi 20 años en Asia), el 26 de febrero del año pasado, mis vecinos me invitaron a presenciar el inicio de la campaña política de Fernando Elizondo candidato a gobernador con el partido Movimiento Ciudadano. Cuando me gradué de la carrera en 1988 los 32 estados de la república eran gobernados por un solo partido. Veintiocho años después me encuentro viviendo en un país cuyos estados son gobernados por 5 partidos políticos y un candidato independiente (el primero en la historia de México). Fernando Elizondo se integró al equipo del gobernador independiente conocido como “El Bronco” quien fue electo para gobernar el estado de Nuevo León.

Rojo=PRI; Azul=PAN; Amarillo=PRD; Anaranjado=Movimiento Ciudadano; Verde=Partido Verde; Gris=Independiente
