“Operation Clockwork Orange” after Alfaro’s consultation on the fiscal pact

The governor of Jalisco takes the president at his word and starts his own consultation on the fiscal pact. More than 100,000 people participated in the first weekend, between versions of a joint operation of deputies of the Citizen Movement and mayors to increase participation.

EMEEQUIS.– The fiscal pact has become the battleground between the governor of Jalisco Enrique Alfaro and the president Lopez Obrador. The state president has shown no qualms in stating that he would get out of this agreement if he does not receive fair treatment.

And in a kind of “Political judo”, Alfaro took advantage of AMLO’s “advice” to take him at his word and organize a popular consultation in which the people will give their opinion if they agree with this pact or if it is better to leave.

If the results coincide with Alfaro’s desire to review a fiscal pact that he considers unfair, he will be able to stand before AMLO with an argument used by the president himself: the popular endorsement. Without forgetting that 2024 is just around the corner and such a victory could serve his presidential aspirations.

This explains assumptions “Private meetings” of deputies and deputies with mayors of Jalisco, supposedly to review “projects”, but in the corridors of San Lázaro the version ran that they actually discussed mechanisms to strengthen citizen participation in this consultation. Do youAs government work? Or in your spare time. That is the question that hangs in the air.

The consultation, which will be held in eight days divided into four weekends, began last Saturday and the governor, as expected, gave it a stir on his social networks. Only on Facebook had 76 photos published.

He accompanied the images with a message: “In public and commercial squares, in parks, sports centers and train stations, this weekend thousands of Jalisco left their homes to assert its voice, defend the interests of our people and demand, together, a #Just Deal in the #Fiscal Pact ”.

On Enrique Alfaro’s Facebook there are more than 70 photos from the first weekend of the consultation.

THE “MECHANICAL ORANGE” COMES INTO ACTION

And how to achieve a successful call? Alfaro will not have mornings to publicize the consultation, but he has an orange political arm: all the political actors who represent the party Citizen Movement in Jalisco they are quite rushed in the organizing and mobilizing voters so that this consultation does not go unnoticed at the national level. These anxieties have reached San Lázaro.

And there is a lot at stake. If all these steps take effect to make the consultation a “success”, Alfaro will have a double victory: will put the Federation in trouble and will have a great electoral forum for the 2024 contest and its presidential aspirations.

THIS IS HOW THE IDEA ARISED

“There is no possibility that the federal pact will be broken, first because if (the governors) have a democratic vocation, they would have to ask the citizens of the states they govern “said López Obrador on the morning of October 27.

Alfaro “lowered the ball” as a good canchero politician that he is and that same day he assured: “In Jalisco we take him at his word. In Jalisco we are going to start from this moment the route to consult the citizens of Jalisco to find out if they agree that our state remains in this abusive relationship with the federation ”.

Enrique Alfaro published a tweet on Monday, November 29, assuring that more than 130 thousand people voted in the first weekend.

THE “PRIVATE CHARACTER” MEETING

Last Wednesday, November 17, deputies of the parliamentary fraction of Citizen movement, held a meeting in the boardroom of said group in the Chamber of Deputies, with some municipal presidents of Jalisco, among them Ana Isabel Banuelos, of Arandas; Arcelia Díaz Marquez, of Huejúcar; Evangelina Pérez Villarreal, of San Martín de Bolaños, and Gala Lepe Galván, from Unión de Tula.

In said meeting of private character and according to publications on social networks of some of the attendees, their presence was due, according to the deputy Mirza Flores “To talk about the Projects and improvements that they have prepared for their municipalities ”.

However, sources close to him comment that a rumor spread through the corridors that the background for the meeting was hidden in the meeting. mobilization of people to participate in the consultation.

It turns out then that said meeting with the municipal presidents and the “orange bench” was to motivate them to carry out an extraordinary effort within their municipalities to achieve high levels of participation in said exercise of citizenship. And apparently they succeeded, because said officials, once the meeting was over, did not hesitate to take advantage of their visit to tour the legislative hall and pose very smiling for the photo.

For its part, Maria del Rocío Delgado Gil, president of the State Council for Citizen Participation, reported that the exercise will take place over four weekends. It started on November 27 and 28 and will continue on December 4, 5, 11, 12, 18 and 19, also on weekends. People with a valid credential and domicile in the entity may participate in the exercise.

The question is: “Do you agree that every six years, the terms of the Fiscal Coordination and the way in which the federation distributes taxes are reviewed, so that it is decided if Jalisco stays or leaves the Fiscal Pact? “.

ALFARO AND THE FIRST WEEKEND

According to Enrique Alfaro, during this first weekend of the citizen consultation to discuss the #PactoFiscal, “more than 130 thousand Jalisco, of all ages, went to the polls to show that their voice has the power to change the course of their state and to be heard to the center of the country “, he put in his account of Twitter this Monday.
