S POD A SABERSE.

S pod a saberse lo que iba a ocurrir si Andr s Manuel L pez Obrador llegaba a la Presidencia. Bastaba observar, poner atenci n, seguir los pasos que fue dando desde sus or genes como soldado priista.

Eso es justamente lo que ha hecho Pablo Hiriart desde hace 34 a os: se alar y documentar cada una de las afrentas que la democracia mexicana ha soportado a manos del fundador de Morena. S pod a saberse que el nico requisito para lucrar bajo el cobijo de AMLO era serle fiel. As ocurri cuando gobern la Ciudad de M xico. S pod a saberse que las instituciones ser an despreciadas: lo hab a anunciado. S pod a saberse que la corrupci n inundar a su mandato: hab a precedentes, videos, documentos, una cauda de impunidades...

Esta obra compila esa historia. Y, mediante una serie de di logos de primer nivel, el autor demuestra algo a n m s grave: a la vista de lo que ha hecho L pez Obrador, no hay razones para esperar que respete un resultado adverso en 2024. S puede saberse. S puede hacerse algo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

YES, IT COULD HAVE BEEN KNOWN.

Yes, it could have been known what was going to happen if Andr s Manuel L pez Obrador became President. It was enough to observe, to pay attention, to follow the steps he was taking since his origins as a PRI soldier.

That is precisely what Pablo Hiriart has done for 34 years: pointing out and documenting each of the affronts that Mexican democracy has endured at the hands of the founder of Morena. Yes, it could have been known that the only requirement to profit under AMLO's shelter was to be faithful to him. This was the case when he governed Mexico City. Yes, it could have been known that the institutions would be despised: he had announced it. It could have been known that corruption would flood his mandate: there were precedents, videos, documents, a trail of impunity...

This work compiles that history. And, through a series of high-level dialogues, the author demonstrates something even more serious: in view of what L pez Obrador has done, there is no reason to expect him to respect an adverse result in 2024. Yes, it can be known. Yes, something can be done.
