The 10 Points of AMLO's Message Redaction EL UNIVERSAL.com.mx After the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Power of the Federation (TEPJF) gave its qualification of the presidential election and declared Felipe Calderon President-Elect, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, in his informative session [said the following]: 1. He accused the magistrates of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Power of the Federation of submission, "they did not have the courage, the dignity, the pride, the arrogance to act as free men," in ratifying the triumph of the PAN candidate. 2. He stated that he will not recognize "whoever pretends to flaunt themselves as head of the executive branch without having a legitimate and democratic representation." 3. He summoned a revolution of conscience, "the revolution of mentality, everything which we have come here to do since one month ago, this peaceful civil resistance, this teaching-learning process." 4. He assured everyone that the sympathizers of the For the Good of All coalition are "the foremost citizens" and [that] the "upper classes, have already shown their true face: classist, racist, authoritarian." 5. He reiterated his proposal that the Democratic National Convention will constitute a government "which counts with the necessary legitimacy to found the Republic anew and to reestablish constitutional order." 6. He indicated that like the governments of Victoriano Huerta and Carlos Salinas,1 his opponents will seek to legitimize themselves abroad, "they are going to begin to receive the recognition of foreign governments." 7. He said the hand kissing and the bringing into line of business corporations and other associations who will manifest their adhesion to the new government will continue. 8. [He deplored] "the subordination of the Communications Media into burning incense for the candidate of the right wing; the spurious, illegitimate President, the puppet they want to impose upon us. Special interviews, and now they're saying "I can now officially say President-Elect, true?, because the Tribunal has now decided." 9. They will seek to confuse people with spectacular deeds, "so they can say that they are going to be different and that things are now going to change," and among the humble people, they will distribute breadcrumbs. 10. He assured everyone that in this political script, which has been followed for years, his adversaries will address "by all the means they have that which they call dialogue and negotiation." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Translator's Note:
1 Victoriano Huerta was the Mexican General who came to power in February, 1913 in a coup d'état in which he killed the elected President Francisco Madero, setting off the violent phase of the Mexican Revolution. Carlos Salinas de Gortari was the President of Mexico from 1988-1994, who is viewed by the Mexican Left as having come to power by means of a fraudulent election.
I wonder if the CIA still does black bag jobs? ..... 'nuff said ....
Yep, we have them here, too.
You've done amazing work on this issue. Really first class.
I've listened to Mexicans interviewed here in Houston now that the President-elect has now been certified...coming out stating they went back to Mexico to vote and they all voted for Mexico's President-Elect. So all the crapola put out by the left in Mexico appears to be just that...lots of crapola.
Thanks for all your updates and analysis.
Thanks for keeping on top of this!
I don't think Obrador and his Stupid Party have the faintest chance of doing anything - this time. But what they will do is keep on making life difficult for the actual elected government, and I suspect they will also shift their focus to regional elections. These are easier to influence but can have a broad impact - in the case of Spain, for example, flukes of the regional elections prior to the Civil War were what enabled the left to claim that they were actually the elected government, but it only happened because they had reduced Spain to virtual ungovernability prior to this by their policy of assassinations and mini-riots.
So I would say there's going to be a lot of instability in the future of Mexico, with a sustained, multi-pronged attack on the new government, but one that is going to be extended and is more intended to lay the groundwork for the collapse than to march into the presidential palace in December and take it over by force.
I want to thank you again also, your translations and insight were a great help to us.

Aren't they just like the democrats though, only someone
like them could turn "dialogue and negotiation" into bad
things.
"He assured everyone that in this political script, which has been followed for years, his adversaries will address "by all the means they have that which they call dialogue and negotiation."
Ping.
Sonido corto y metálico. (?)
What a warm and fuzzy revolution that will be!
As soon as Libs figure they can do this, it'll get done. They'll figure that American's will rather let them have power this way than face a full-scale civil war ejecting them.
If ALMO gets away with it, our Libs will try it.
Just want to add my thanks for all the translations and analysis you have provided.
Hey Goreador you lost.Get over it.
One development I expect to see if AMLO continues on this path will be the splintering of the PRD. I am almost ready to predict we will see a new political party emerge out of all this, leaving the left weakened even further.
I agree that the PRD will likely splinter,but I wish you would elaborate as to why you think the left cannot merge into a new and stronger party.
Thank you for your great work in providing translations. This is not looking well.
I think it is actually a speech from the Eveready Bunny -
I don't know the Mexican equivalent of Katherine and I don't know the Mexican equivalent of Harris, but I'm sure Gorebrador will invoke her as the villain in this charade. This is like another tiresome re-run of Algore or John F'n Kerry.
At least George Burns knew how to get some Grace.
