Este es un libro lleno de rabia y amor perro por el México maltrecho que debemos rescatar. Es una crónica del hartazgo, del enojo con la cleptocracia que se rota en el poder, con los privilegios inmerecidos de los cómodamente apoltronados en la punta de la pirámide. Un país atorado en la desesperanza, en el desamparo, sofocado por la corrupción, amenazado por la violencia, sin soluciones fáciles.
Con el implacable rigor que la distingue, Denise Dresser hace un corte de caja de los últimos tiempos, los años del desencanto. La Peñastroika perdida, la cuatitud corrosiva, la vetocracia viva, el pacto de impunidad y cómo transitamos de la dictadura perfecta al pillaje perfecto. Por sus páginas desfilan las prácticas y las historias que han trastocado la transición democrática; sus líneas repasan los síntomas semanales de la descomposición como la "Casa Blanca", el escándalo de Odebrecht, la llamada "Estafa Maestra", los fiscales carnales, las instituciones disfuncionales y la partidocracia rapaz. Frontal y reveladora, la autora narra cómo nos convertimos en un país de fosas, de desaparecidos, de ausentes. Refuta las "verdades históricas" de Ayotzinapa y Tanhuato y Apatzingán, y contabiliza los costos de pelear la misma guerra contra el narcotráfico, pero con peores resultados. Ante este deterioro, apunta las batallas que faltan por ganar: por las mujeres, por los derechos pisoteados, por los periodistas, por la libertad de expresión, por la paz.
Manifiesto mexicano es un llamado a ser sujetos desobedientes, a disentir y construir, a "bullear" a quienes gobiernan para que lo hagan mejor. Es una apuesta a la remodelación institucional, a la rendición de cuentas, a los contrapesos, a la democracia, gobierne quien gobierne. Es una convocatoria para componer lo que echamos a perder, y alcanzar lo que quedó como una simple aspiración: un sistema político y económico que funcione para los ciudadanos y no sólo para la clase política.
Algo verdaderamente ciudadano.
Algo nuestro.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A must-read for discerning, proactive, and positive-thinking citizens.
This is a book full of rage and a love-hate relationship towards a mistreated and battered Mexico, one that must be salvaged. It is an account that sheds light on the tiredness and anger towards the kleptocracy found with those in power, with the undeserved privileges of the ones sitting comfortably at the top of the pyramid.
With her ever relentless precision and objectivity, Denise Dresser takes a thorough look into Mexico's recent history, the disenchanted years. The lost Peñastroika (the Peña Nieto years), the rust of humility, the ever present power of veto, and a pact for impunity. Within its pages we'll read about the stories that have disrupted a democratic transition like the "White House" scandal and the of Odebrecht corruption case. Raw and revealing, the author narrates how Mexico has become a country of graves and missing people. It refutes the "official story" given by authorities in regards to Ayotzinapa, Tanhuato, and Apatzingan, and analyses the cost of fighting a war against drug trafficking which has rendered no results.
Faced with this dim outlook, she points out the battles that are still to be won: for women, for human rights, for journalists, for freedom of speech and expression, for peace. Mexican Manifesto is a call to disobedience, to dissent and build anew, to "bully" those in positions of power into governing better. It is a call to fix what has been spoiled for so long.
