The coffin that members of the PRD party put inside the Mexican Congress building, to protest new labor reform, should have been accompanied by the following legend: “Here lie the violent and primitive remains of the left-wing, useless when it came to debating and void of all content”.
Even the PRD’s political coordinator, Mr. Silvano Aureoles, was so embarrassed by his legislator’s vulgar outburst that he had to offer up an apology to the PRI party’s coordinator, Mr. Manilo Fabio Beltrones. He was seeking atonement for the aggressive manner in which his deputies had treated Mr. Jesus Murillo Karam, the President of the Board of Congress.
In its Saturday, September 29th edition, the newspaper La Jornada reported that: “Uncomfortable because of certain (women) deputies, Mr. Murillo Karam asked Karen Quiroga to get up from her seat”.
“What, am I turning you on?” the deputy asked him in a flirtatious tone, to which Mr. Murillo smartly replied, “I know it’s a luxury around here, but I would like to have a little bit of space”.
The left-wing, this left-wing that claims to defend women’s dignity and human rights, has its female deputies running around in congress like hussies. Sometimes, they even get them to hit the male deputies; anything they can do to cut a session short.
The worst part is that these (women) deputies, that purport to be model examples of women’s emancipation, fighting for social justice, accept the humiliating and degrading role that has handed to them by their leaders.
The remains of Article 123 did not lie inside that green coffin, as the PRD state, but rather a rotting left-wing that is so far gone that it is unable to defend by means of a vote what is goes around hollering about in the streets.
The PRD’s own political coordinator, Mr. Aureoles said: “Today, labor union democracy and transparency would have met a different fate if 48 PRD deputies hadn’t walked out on us during the session. But, if that was their decision, what are they complaining about, then?”
The spectacle was so deplorable that Mr. Cuahtemoc Cardenas had to arrive on the scene to censure the division inside of the left-wing party, a party that is becoming more and more divided and that is suffering from an orphan complex, despite having so many leaders.
How many marches, sit-ins and tribunal take-overs has the PRD made throughout its existence and how much success has it had? What does this party actually do?
Some people think that President Felipe Calderon has followed through on the promise of being the “president of employment” with the new labor reform.
Let’s dot our i’s and cross our t’s. Neither Vicente Fox’s nor Felipe Calderon’s governments could approve a labor reform, until the PRI took charge of the negotiations by involving two politicians, perhaps controversial, but capable without a doubt: Beltrones and Murillo Karam.
The idea that Mr. Murillo Karam The President of the Board of Congress, came up with, to continue with session on one the congress building’s balconies, was nothing more that the work of a sharp and clever mind.
The plan was so clever that Andres Lopez Obrador’s advisor, Mr. Ricardo Monreal, ended up going nuts. “You guys are all a bunch of jerks!” he yelled at the legislators who were making fun of the PRD’s attempt to disrupt congress.
All of this might seem no more than an anecdote for the newspapers, but it lets us peer a bit ahead into the future with an important question in mind: how will Mr. Enrique Pena Nieto assume power in the Chamber of Deputies on December 1st without all of the perilous anarchy that Mr. Calderon had to put up when he started in office?
Once again, when facing the threat of an intolerant left-wing, a left-wing that reeks of death and that will try to do whatever it takes to make sure that the change of government won’t happen in San Lazaro, the intelligence and cleverness of the sharpest politicians will be called upon.
