In a place in northern Mexico, very close to Texas,
citizen indignation grows every day
in front of corruption, arrogance,
impunity and frivolity of politicians.
That place is called Nuevo León
Any resemblance to another place in the world is mere coincidence
As a citizen by voting I’m performing my right
but I’m also transmitting power to the other to decide on my
Campaigns are now measured by popularity
And not for results or curriculum, then you have to be a good clown.
Why be interested in sit in the chair of governor
for self-interest and obviously their family too
Surely to serve the community,
to do great works and be remembered
as a great citizen that contributes
to the peace and solidarity of the nation
The issue is that the citizen is not aware
of the power that is granted to these people
I believe that all politicians who come to power they change.
Power is the most seductive thing.
The politician is seduced by the influence.
They come to decision-making spaces,
and then they are corrupted.
Power perverts, power corrupts
Politicians are abominable people and I don’t have the slightest respect.
No, I think that what corrupts is the whole system,
the chair is the final part nothing more.
It can be because they want to improve to the country or also it can be to steal
The governors steal, rather I think they get to steal
that’s how, they get into politics to steal
Yes, he is a shoplifter because he is stealing instead of helping people
to arrange, to help people and things like that.
Well imagine it’s like the genius lamp,
what do you want that you can’t have
That’s why they want to be there, to be the great managers,
of an oligarchy increasingly corrupt and degraded that
practically becomes in a process of feudalization
There is a passage from Antigone of Sophocles,
that says that man you can only know it in depth,
in their soul, in their spirit and in their mind,
when the power is exercised.
The power up there, María has it.
People who don’t have a well-established personality,
are prone to change by the power that makes them a little crazy
No, people don’t change when they get into the power chair
I think it just manifests the corruption they already had.
Power fascinates,
not only to those who exercise it, but to those who face it.
First you had to demonstrate a long-term career.
The requirements that put the militancy, had to be obedient.
The only way is through political parties.
It was usually random.
Then become friends, comrades and acquaintances
of those who are within the same current system.
Arrogance, a pride and a terrible alienation.
First to maintain the hegemony of some political party.
I think the chair gives the power to control.
But those powers bring with them other.
The chair of power corrupts.
To be able to do what they want, that is the power that gives the chair
They go against the logic.
The power of the chair
I’m Socrates Riso García,
I was governor of the Nuevo León State,
from 1991 to 1996
Effectively my name in the politics is important
people when they say that person is called Socrates,
actually expects him to be a thoughtful person,
to make some approaches, a few philosophical touches, to honor his name
I’m Benjamin Clairond Reyes Retana,
I was governor of the beautiful state of Nuevo León,
from April 96 to October 97
The first thing I did was to talk to my dearest father, rest in peace
and he said to me “But why do you get into politics Benjamin?”
"the politics is for thieves,
the politics is for people with guaripa"
"guaripa" it’s a straw hat
with a pistol at your waist,
with a bottle of traditional tequila
on the side and two women beside him.
And then I said “Father look, I still don’t have skin cancer..”
So I was 38 years old at the time,
“I don’t have skin cancer, so you take the “guaripa” from me”
the hunting fascinates me but not in a gun,
so you can also take off the gun.
You can also take the traditional tequila bottle,
leave me two or three glasses well served.
And about the two women at his side,
I'm married dad and very happy.
I’m Fernando Canales Clairond,
I was governor of Nuevo León State from 1997 to 2003
I belong to a industrial family,
that by third generation,
together with other members of my family,
we manage an important industrial company
in our community, IMSA Group.
I consider myself very lucky, God its been so generous with me,
It has given me health, a patrimony, a united family.
I have had my sorrows, my difficulties certainly as many
but comparatively with others have been smaller, so in that sense
I feel in debt, I feel obliged to repay what I received.
I’m Fernando Elizondo Barragán,
former governor of Nuevo León in 2003
my father was treasurer of the state in the 60’s,
rector of the university and later governor of the state of Nuevo León
at that time I was entering university, as a university student.
In the hazing they identified me, they already knew that the rector’s son
was in that generation of law school,
they identify me immediately and I was among the first targets so,
what did they do to me? They did the same thing to everyone,
to all those who were subjected to this hazing
for example, make us do silly things
they took us to get on a bus, to sing
“El chorrito” or some Cri-Cri song
or they made us crawl in muddy pools,
which were in the gardens of the faculty.
In my first participation in electoral politics,
was as candidate for federal deputy
and without a doubt I would have liked to participate
in the district of Linares where I’m originally from,
because I have a great affection for the place where I was born.
I tried to do it and,
I think I would have done a good job,
however given the circumstances,
they told me there was no such “thing” and at that time
there were other strategies on the part of the governors of the state
and of course there were part
of the national party president,
I had to reach a district that I did not know
We decided a group of very young friends back then
form a coalition or a union that we call
“The League of Nationalist Entrepreneurs”
We wanted to participate in politics,
to be honest at that time we did not know where to start
and influence our beloved country,
and we decided to join the PRI,
Why?
For many reasons, but mainly,
because it was the best an the fastest way to get in to power.
I did not have roots in that district, so it’s one of the first things that bother
that the pieces move without taking into account these rooting situations,
the preferences you can have,
but of course imposed,
you have to ponder that difficulty,
because if you don’t accept it maybe you’ll be left out
I don’t share some principles and convictions of the PRI
and less the way they act
recognizing that there are good and positive things,
there are honest and congruent people
but not most of his actions.
And I found in the analysis of other political alternatives,
the PAN, National Action Party (PAN) was more similar
to my way of thinking,
but there was a guarantee and this lasted for years,
that maybe they weren’t very bright or capable but they were honest.
Now that can no longer be assured
The election of 1997 takes place in where
Fernando Canales is governor
elect by the PAN
and he says, “I invite you to breakfast”
invites me to breakfast and says
“What I want is to ask you to help me…”
“… being secretary of finance in my government”
Without a doubt the support is required, someone who believe in you
of those who have power, different kind of power,
can be economic, can be religious,
can be of from the public service.
The president Carlos Salinas de Gortari,
sees the situation of the mayoralty of Monterrey
very difficult,
and he directly invites me to be a candidate
for the mayoralty of Monterrey.
And he said that to Raúl García the president of the PAN in the state
“But I don’t only want to be an active member of the PAN
I want to be a candidate for federal deputy…
"What is required?"
“Well, just tell me” “Well, I’m telling you”
“You’re a candidate”
Then I persuaded him not to have so much opposition
by my way of being,
a lot of work, especially very strict,
when Salinas de Gortari came to Nuevo León to inaugurate
the first line of the subway and CINTERMEX
I came with him on the plane,
in the presidential plane,
and at the time he go out, we went out together,
through the principal door of the plane,
and that would be the picture of the next day in the newspapers
and it would be an indication,
that had the approval and support of the
President of the republic at that time.
But the two additional important facts that helped me
was President Bush’s visit to Monterrey,
and the Pope visit.
I’m not a politician,
I’m a citizen,
who by circumstances was seen the possibility,
to reach in the public service.
His Holiness arrived,
I asked him to give a return to the helicopter to greet all the people
and I accompanied him,
and the important thing is that
I gave him a piece of glass.
Months later when the Roman observatory, the Vatican newspaper,
narrates the chronicle of the visit of his sanctity is narrated
the only thing that narrates of Nuevo León
is that gift that I gave to his sanctity.
And the people with witch I participated in and got involved in politics,
are people who were interested,
and as it was in the case of Salinas,
he was interested in the welfare of the people.
The truth is that politicians,
the good ones and the bad ones,
have to use that speech,
they have to be talking about the community service
and service to others.
Why? because that’s the speech you have to use to get
the support, the votes, etc.
The electorate knows how to play the game,
“Well, I’m going to vote or not, and it brings me some food…”
“… and I laugh and he laughed”
is true there is a simulation of both sides,
but there is something authentic,
There is something authentic about people,
“well, I pretend that I support him and I applaud him,
“… but I don’t really like it or I like it”
but at the time of voting,
especially if count it well and it is true,
that pure feeling will reflect there in he urns.
The smile is a classic recommendation,
I must point out without false modesty,
that the conditions adopted me from a natural charisma,
I stood on a stage and,
And drew the attention of the public who listened to me
and not necessarily support me,
and come on in a natural way,
I don’t fight to be smiling.
I learned other things,
nobody listen the long speeches,
the political offers make them as simple as possible,
Don’t deepen, it is not necessary or convenient.
Look to get popularity first you need,
to manage your popularity.
Because if you are surly, you don’t get anything
That's first,
second, Napoleon Bonaparte said,
that wars and elections are won with money.
Yes, money is important
as instrument of campaigning,
as one of the elements that are required to persuade,
the electorate to vote for the option,
for the party that you represents,
it is not the fundamental.
In the last years all the parties and including the one I belong to
are spending exorbitant amounts of money,
above what the law allows,
there are many ways to cover that.
And unfortunately the politicians, including myself,
we had accustomed people,
when you go to a neighborhood,
you have to deliver something, by rule.
Because if you don’t come with a T-shirt or a cap,
“What are you going to bring me?”
in the elections that I have participated,
I have always told them “when my opponent comes…”
“… grab all the shirts, they will serve you as a uniform for the next few years”
"but your vote, you give it to me."
A creative, good friend,
who after a bottle of cognac in my house,
he said “well, look”
he came up with something very simple but very effective,
use my name as part of the campaign slogan,
instead of putting Socrates in just one color,
SOCRAT in one color and ES in another one,
and below add “My candidate”
"Socrat ES my candidate",
but it’s something so simple,
that the children were chorusing it in the campaign,
“Socrates my candidate”
Of the things that I remember most enthusiastically,
is having coined a phrase,
that, I was the first,
in the world to use it as a campaign slogan,
that is “Yes we can”
then it is something that marked me,
and I think it influenced a lot in the community,
that phrase until it was later used in other parts of the world,
recently Obama did.
The whole aspect of personal appearance,
clothing, looking, etc.
My consulting team,
it is my wife or my daughters,
who tell me “Dad you don’t look good with that, use this instead”
I never had a stylist, I never had manicurist,
I never had a fashion consultant,
or anything similar.
Why? because I did not think it was necessary
and I did not think I had to have it.
That’s something that professional politicians care about especially
in the PRI.
In the PRI I notice there is special care of appearances because,
is a culture where the appearance is the reality.
In terms of my image of having a stylist who check me,
I never had one,
and never will,
I’m interested, well, I paint my mustache, I have to clarify it,
but of course my wife is the one who tells me,
“Don’t let the paint so much time, it seems you have a worm…”
In my family we have always had very abundant eyebrows,
till the point that,
eyebrows covered my eyes.
Then my wife said to me,
“Fix your eyebrows, cut them off”
I think people,
are smarter than some politicians think.
Especially these politicians of frivolity and celebrity,
who think that with acting,
or with good videos they can achieve the vote.
To win an election,
it is necessary to know how to use the media,
an be used, in the good sense of the word, to be used by the media.
In 85, maybe a time,
when the image was not so important,
It was not important,
the power of video.
I saw in the campaign in some rural areas,
there was and still,
some land are cultivated with plows, pulled by oxen,
then I would stop,
in the path of my campaign team,
to say hello to the farmer who was working with his plow,
and asked him to lend it to me,
to plow the land with him a few minutes
while they took me pictures those of the media,
waiting they give me a space the next day,
which I achieved several times that kind of events.
But I have never been a good dancer or a good actor,
I prefer to be a good actor, it is very difficult
if you don't feel it,
the good actor has to feel what he is doing,
otherwise he would have to be too good,
as a professional for people to believe him.
My campaign team,
spoke with the circus administration,
so that in the elephant show they invited me,
to ride on the top of the elephant,
I went many times when my children were little,
and I’ve never ridden an elephant before.
That kind of things if I did some,
I don’t regret they are not denigrating,
they are not disrespectful to anyone,
If I did,
I would recommend it within a certain,
prudence and good taste,
we have to gain spaces,
you have to be in the mind of people.
Smile to achieve a political goal,
Well, the smile must be spontaneous,
I believe that when it is not spontaneous,
it shows a forced smile and the forced smile is not credible.
One of my faults,
as a person and not just as
a person in the public service,
is that I project a too serious image,
I have already been told, sometimes the people
think I’m too serious and I scare,
but that’s how my face is,
but the truth is that inside I laugh a lot about myself and other people
and I also have a good humor,
people who know me would tell you that.
“Tells us a joke”
Well, I remember when we talk about politics,
the joke of the hairdresser of the town
that was the most popular hairdresser in the region,
and some who was told:
“this is the hairdresser in the region”
and said “Why?”
“well, go with him and you’ll see”
and then he arrived and the hairdresser tells him,
“would you like your cut with a talk or without a talk?”
and then the client says,
“well, with a chat”
“very well, and would you like,
to talk of sports, politics, social, gossip?”
“sports please.”
“very well,
would you like to take the contra or not?”
so that evokes me that kind of politicians who say,
“what do I need to tell you to vote for me?”
"and that I will tell you."
"Things were better before with the PAN"
Following the christian teaching we have,
we have a vocation for infinity,
we were created in the image and likeness of god,
we put the limit.
I set as limit to win a governorship,
to have the most votes.
As governor evidently,
the people is there,
and some people commented,
a joke that we made about that matter,
that someone tells another collaborator: “Hey,
the lizards fly, the crocodiles fly”
and the other says “how do you think” “the governor said!”
and the other says “well, yes they fly but very low”
As there is the expectation that the governor will be
a super man or a super woman,
someone that solves everything,
that is all efficiency and in reality is a human being like any
which is susceptible to errors,
of good faith or bad faith.
When there is an agenda team,
if the governor does not have enough initiative
it turns out that what he does,
they take him as a monkey according to a program designed by the government team
that say what is convenient for the governor and where it goes and must attend,
and that’s very bad,
because then that trial of a team of assistants,
subordinates,
which is determining,
what he do or not, to whom he attends an who doesn't the governor.
I think I had three private secretaries,
and met some later in other government function
I saw he was very efficient, I bring them,
I saw that they had good treat with people
I was incorporating them,
my auxiliary secretary,
very efficient, Margarita,
I said “communicate with so-and-so”
he is not at home, he is not in his office,
well she got it and sometimes the staff member told me
“Hey, how did you find me here in this canteen?”
“we’re celebrating my birthday”
somehow she had that ability to locate them.
And she knew who was who,
but she knew something important that is from a private secretary,
in a hierarchical organization it is important to know,
who is triple A double A and who is A,
and what call should pass or not.
I don’t like arrogance, I used to drive my car,
many times I missed them,
not to go to a bad place but I just don’t like it,
I don’t like arrogance.
I came to an event let’s say it is
the annual meeting of the association of doctors,
or the chamber of commerce, etc.
The avant garde arrived and say “where will the governor be?”
“where he is going to enter?” “which is going his place?”
and they started making decisions
talking for example with the president of the association of doctors,
or the president of the chamber,
and they said “No, you don’t go there, here,
the governor goes here, you sit down here”
If the people that is beneath you is better,
is better for you.
Why?
Because at the end of the day,
you as an authority, you as a boss at the time you want you can fired them
The one who lives all his life within the government,
the one we used to call the professional politician,
that’s what his life is dedicated to,
he stops to understand how the world is,
stop living, live in a different world
I consider myself not having been over proud
or taken a vanity,
for believing me something that they told me,
I don’t think they said much.
They told me some that I knew beforehand that didn't correspond to a reality
or that it was in the interests of obtaining
some governmental favor that I could or couldn't grant it.
The power,
magnifies, increases the defects and diminishes the virtues.
If you’re courageous, with power, you tend to be more courageous,
if you’re a bit authoritarian
with power, you become more authoritarian,
on the other hand if you’re modest you become proud,
or if you’re simple it becomes complicated.
I had the great advantage of my wife,
who almost pinched me and said “Don’t believe it”
“the same worms are going to eat you
or the same incineration is going to burn you,
so, calm down and don't believe in fairy tales”
that help me a lot and I’m still the same,
without any tie,
the power, I didn't enter to this for power
the power I already had it,
maybe not that much,
but I didn't occupy a public position for people to love me.
Yes, it took me a few nights get to sleep
because of the problems I lived as governor during the workday,
Did you went to therapy?
No, I never went to professional therapy to a divan with a psychiatrist
and tell him that I felt bad, yes I felt bad sometimes,
but not to that degree of illness,
but they were subjects that you take to the house.
Sometimes there is so much tension,
that you need a little exercise, you had little time to exercise
in the government house that was created,
I had to create the government house before there wasn't,
that has been a success,
allowed me to have a small gym and do some exercise,
but maybe what helped me the most
was yoga classes two three times a week
there on the floor,
where you did a little exercise and concentration exercises,
that you do in yoga,
then allow you to relax,
and overcome some of the tensions.
As governor I was trying to lead a
private life in parallel with my public responsibility
as normal as possible
within my normality was to eventually go to the movies with my wife
I remember a particular occasion that I want to see a movie
and it was very famous but I didn't like it
“And your Mom too”
and I admire the actors a lot but there is a scene where
the main character,
he masturbates on the trampoline of a public pool
and I said “Ah, caray” it doesn't shock me at all
but it doesn't amuse me,
to see a scene of a guy masturbating,
and his cum falling into the pool
where young people then bathed.
It doesn't amuse me and I left,
the next day it was in the newspaper that the governor had left the cinema
in the middle of the movie
Governing trying to put order in the media
is very difficult but its possible.
How do you do it?
You have to explain to the media
that their business shouldn't be
get money from the municipal government,
better get money from,
the furniture store or the bakery
or those who advertise their consumer products,
and also effectively they criticized me and continue to do so
why? because there was order, not money
When you're in power you say “Ah!,
that note, that comment comes from so-and-so,
has this intention or this other intention”
it filtered so-and-so or that person,
that’s the best part of the matter
If some journalist says “Light poles must be green”
you go with a jar of green paint and you try,
Who is the governor?
The journalist or you?
My mom,
more than as a deputy, is a less important position than the governor,
I often accept it and in some cases with reason,
criticism made in the television media,
and she used to watch television and take the newspaper
and hit the presenter who was criticizing me,
or you arrive at the house and your wife questions you,
“Why they’re criticizing you with this project?”
It’s a matter of accepting,
that at the end of the day the media are very important
they’re like a thermometer,
but never,
never let them rule,
and if they want to govern,
that they become candidates to see how it goes to them.
Certainly in Nuevo León,
particularly the Metropoli the capital of the state of Monterrey,
it’s the headquarters
of the corporative of the industrial groups
with important national and international presence
with people who have economic power
and an ability to influence and as a consequence is important,
I consider,
it is the responsibility of the governor to meet periodically
with them,
Businessmen in Nuevo León are a very important factor,
of course the occupation of Nuevo León is such,
that the government is tiny,
compared to the companies an the economy that gives rise to the state,
and it’s good that it’s small
because if the government was bigger
I think it would have caused
more problems to the state
I organized a reunion in my house,
where the group of the 10 was,
and it was a very good meeting.
Why?
Because they didn't ask for things,
I warned them “I don’t want to be asked”
“to talk with the president, my company has this problem”, no, Nuevo León
All,
working for Nuevo León.
No doubt there are governors who come to their position
because of the influence of these concepts
pushed by certain companies or consortium
and when they exercise the power
they exercise it under the shadow
of those powers that led him.
Maybe they aren't determining everything he has to do
but they give him general guidelines,
I believe that this phenomenon does exist in Mexico.
The businessman consider that,
the governor must do this or that thing, not for personal benefit,
but sometimes the treat is as,
if they were part of their collaborators of their company.
But I think that it depends,
on how you present yourself with them.
One thing that I think helped me,
is that I brought a PhD from the University of Chicago,
a masters degree from Mexico College,
and I come from a humble family,
I started in public schools,
and sometimes there is this bias of “he comes from Linares”
I had and I still have an advantage, that I don't live of politics,
because when I was deputy,
100% of my salary as a deputy,
went to an office to serve the community.
The governor of the state of that time, he had a salary of $22,000 Mexican pesos
nominally it was what appeared in the law
but then there was a compensation that didn’t appear in the law,
that it was a check for another $22,000 and that other check didn’t pay taxes,
and then there was a cash delivery
that was given for additional $30,000 that was also not recorded
was recorded in other accounts,
then were representation expenses,
they were payments that were made on
delivery of vouchers of all kinds,
could be from gasoline trips
even of suits and shoes.
They accused me,
that I had used representation expenses inappropriately.
I earned I don’t know thirty or forty thousand pesos,
and I used twenty thousand monthly of representation expenses.
The extreme of the illegality,
were the deliveries of cash,
because in reality these deliveries
it was money extracted from the teachers salary,
that didn't go to teachers, it went to different accounts
and they were distributed to selected officials of the government administration.
Prove corruption,
misappropriation of funds,
bribery,
use of the unauthorized,
abuse of authority,
anyway, all the crimes of public servants,
from the technical point of view
of criminal law is really difficult.
And I decided not to undertake a witch hunt
do a comprehensive audit of everything that happened in the previous years,
with the purpose of finding,
the commission of crimes and prosecute
because it was going to convert my government,
in a public prosecutors agency when it was a government with vision in the future.
Without ignoring that responsibility,
and the importance of granting impunity,
to who has committed a crime of any kind,
in this case of administrative corruption
in the exercise of public function be punished.
What characteristics have the corruption you found?
By this I mean that there certainly was,
but a lot of it, some of it,
I should point out,
I didn’t find,
too much corruption.
For a PRI official of many years
and who lived of public service,
they normally didn’t have businesses,
didn’t have companies, now may be they have them.
I remember that a Christmas they wanted to give us a watch,
which ultimately was given to me.
I objected when I found out,
I went with the chamber leader and said,
“Please don’t give me that”
“Give me a envelope
with 1,000 dollars that is the cost of the watch”
Besides,
although it was the cheapest clock,
had the Rolex brand,
and that for the public opinion,
to the community,
says Rolex and they say “Holly crap is very expensive”
and no, it was the cheapest watch because it was made of steel
but in the Benjamin style,
that gave it to me,
I still have it in my safe, why?
Because in the back comes,
“Legislature...” “Benjamin Clairond”
and well it is a question,
so maybe my great-great-grandchildren sell it,
and I hope it’s not for necessity.
Many years ago,
it was said,
“Look at the police, they don’t claim,
pay them anything”
“they want the job”
but that famous phrase that says:
“Don’t give me money put me where there is”
When I was governor,
a developer for example,
came and gave me tips,
on how the corruption was in construction,
what happen is that sometimes the constructor agrees
with the contracting dependence,
invoice the increased amount,
but charge the actual amount.
And said “No, I can’t do that”
and the answer was:
“this is how it works,
you have to get used”
“this is the system, that’s how it is”
Company that doesn't give you so they can rob you a little,
it’s not business,
it’s said many of the politicians enter to steal,
the motivation is not necessarily stealing as a game as a child could do
who takes a gum in a store,
but they do it for the money.
I was, I think the first governor of Nuevo León,
there is no doubt
that has been more audited.
They have searched everywhere,
and I was audited by the PRI,
as for the PAN government.
But after all those audits,
wanting to find something,
which is very different when you do an audit just for routine,
they didn't find anything.
In the end the government of the PAN of Fernando Elizondo,
is documented,
the lawyers office stated that
there was no felony to pursue,
that those expenses that I had made,
which were also representation expenses that they deposited in my checking account,
they weren't indebted and they were within budget,
and there was no felony to pursue.
And it was in November of 2003 that they give me the criminal record
But talking to Fernando Elizondo, I said to him
“Hey, there is nothing to pursue”
“What is the problem?”
and he said “We must wait for the election to pass”
we have the sword on top for anything.
I feel that since you become governor,
it is not necessarily because of money ambition from him.
Unfortunately we all have,
a group of people around,
that at the time of arriving,
your group is that same group has different positions
and there might be created interests
when his friend gets to be governor.
Even then a problem was detected
by an ex-treasurer,
who generated a payroll of teachers that didn't exist
and a made a save for the campaign,
then it was denounced and he was even in jail,
and came back I think part of the money.
The process that I mentioned before
from the treasurer that unfortunately went wrong
when the information started coming out,
I didn't believe it,
I didn't believe it because that person,
had not changed his way of life,
thanks to that he didn't spend the money
and he could return it and reintegrate.
The teams that go down in the government structure,
tend to be empowered
and make their own space, enrich their own work,
make their own determinations,
promote their own interests,
if they don’t have controls.
If I had realized, I would have acted with much more authority.
No more authority,
nor courage maybe with more rudeness.
If I steal and the worst thing that can happen is that I lose the job,
maybe I take the risk, right?
That’s what a public servant thinks
It fell out of my hands,
I recognize the status of the state treasury.
If I had realized,
nothing would have happened and I would have be remained as the best governor
that the state and/or the country has had
and it’s not for bragging
from what I see every day.
We can fool many people but we can’t fool ourselves.
Everyone knows inside us,
if the main motivation is to serve,
is to contribute and create,
a better country.
Or is to enter and to serve yourself,
to make easy money.
There is an important and growing part,
of society that participates in this phenomenon.
In this event of corruption,
it is not exclusive of the government.
Unfortunately and this also saddens me
that before they only blamed my political party
that the PRI was corrupt,
and we have realized that unfortunately it is the human being.
Cain killed Abel because maybe he had the best milpa,
there in paradise,
but in the end he killed him.
And nothing happened.
And we’re their children,
descendants of them.
Although some considered their-self descendants of the monkeys.
But we want to support us,
we want you to give us the opportunity with your vote
That everybody says:
we’re from the PRI
We don’t want to take the government to any politician,
the only politician of the government will be me.
I propose to take in our hands the destiny of our Government
I believe that the concept of youth and face,
has been abused.
Exactly six years ago,
I tried to become governor again,
unfortunately I don’t know if for fear to me,
for fear of my rectitude and my decency,
or simply because they wanted a continuity.
I was not elected as a candidate for the governorship.
Against to the circumstance that,
the majority of candidates nominated by political parties
they go more for the ability to attract votes for popularity
than for the capacity of government
once the responsibility of government is reached
for which it is required,
generally a certain preparation, an experience a psychological aptitude
to face the inherent responsibilities to the charge
I believe from the sight of an academic
is a degeneration of democracy.
All that is a deviation is like,
the diversion of attention caused by the TV programs or soap opera,
people think of other things,
who dances better, who has a better body, better face,
and that is what,
allows we have governments where,
there is incompetence and corruption.
The truth is I think we have had magnificent governors in Nuevo León
with rare exceptions.
And effectively,
now it is not only the degree of your studies
instead how much,
they get or how much,
how can I put it,
but also if you’re noticeable on television,
and is not the same,
a person as brilliant as Don Raúl Rangel,
ex-governor of Nuevo León,
Brilliant!
But that maybe on a television program,
he doesn't know how to make eggs.
Nowadays,
and some politicians come out making breakfast on television
of course it cost a lot,
is not for free.
The goal is to remain in the power,
is to win the next election, no matter what.
To achieve the election win,
more than a good government is to have a smile,
go to neighborhoods to give things and give out hugs.
And the end of the day when you arrive,
and you achieve the goal of coming and leaving well
you need the science and philosophy of work,
because as popular as you are,
if you go out, you win and ruin it,
you take it like a gravestone in the back all your life.
We must make us to the idea that is very important
and especially that now many governors
like the current one who are very young
and they are going to finish very young their period of governor
where the were surrounded by a huge apparatus,
they were the center, the events didn’t start until he arrived,
when he stand up the rest stand up,
to cite some examples,
they may seem insignificant but they have their meaning,
that the day after he stops being governor,
he is going to stand up and nobody is going to stand up.
I learned, or reconfirmed the knowledge
of the human nature is quite fragile.
And again the power modifies the behavior,
modifies the character, the feelings.
I believe that I still have power,
power is never abandoned, public power,
but I have power in my family, I have power with my friends,
I have power when I write things
I have power when I denounce them,
and several times I’ve been in the trending topics
One of the mistakes of my period,
is not having tried to have more productive relationship with the media
I sometimes among certain
topics that criticized me in particular,
I took an attitude of ignoring them
or no longer being in contact with them.
In a matter of criticism of any kind
of any kind,
it doesn't affect me, because I have thick skin.
It doesn't affect me.
When there is criticism in bad faith,
when there is criticism,
that is perceived that,
the one who is formulating it,
knows what he is saying is false but he is inventing it to cause damage,
it generates a contrary visceral reaction if I may.
I think the strongest impact is on the family,
you’re the politician,
and know the costs and benefits of doing politics,
the family is apart.
They receive that strong impact,
and perhaps the most impact is this advertising campaign,
that affected my public image.
They criticize me a lot,
and they keep doing it,
because I live happy,
because I like,
to have a good mood, exceptional.
But governing and managing effectively,
is never fought,
with good humor, and good sense of life.
But here something interesting happens,
that many people who were great friends of Salinas
people with money and without money,
wanted to be good with the incoming president.
Dead the King, live the King.
There is a very famous saying with friendships in politics,
and the way of being within politics,
that the only thing more,
false than wrestling, is politics.
“Have you ever lied as a politician?”
As a politician, lied,
lied in what way,
I think that sometimes you overestimates,
or underestimate,
underestimate things,
but,
you can be an optimist and that is a little lie.
When you speak, it generates expectations
that everything will be resolved,
and you’re in campaign,
you’re very optimistic,
especially if you don’t know the financial restrictions,
and in that sense sometimes you fall into that problem,
you can call it insignificant lies
but it is an excess of optimism.
To move in politics being an honest person,
first of all you can't just seem like it, you have to be it.
And that doesn't limit you
to that because of third or fourth persons,
fall and go out like mud swan with little spots,
or big ones.
That doesn't free you
at the end you’re responsible
at the end you must have
a brave heart and a cold mind.
To be able to act,
and let you get too dirty,
by anything that happens
but get out clean of politics, No.
One of the characteristics,
I take this opportunity to tell any candidate
not only to governor any public position,
which doesn't have enough strength to resist this, better not to get involved
Anyone who becomes governor I could give you several qualifications
First in order of relevance but you can mix them,
depending on your thoughts,
first, to be honest.
Second, the efficiency.
And third that don't be afraid to give orders.
I can't do this because I'm going to affect that group
and if I affect that group
they will criticize me and they will be able to hit me.
To be a good governor, I believe that you should have a broad vision.
You must have the greatest possible extent,
know as much as possible about things
but not being focused on something,
and the technocracy what it produces are technicians
specialized in something
Plato said that in order to become a governor you had to be
wise, poet and other things
I believe that today,
if we have a president or governor
and instead of giving a speech about what he did,
about what he's going to do,
he starts telling them a poem,
They boo him,
They get him out of there.
If a poet could, a philosopher,
can definitely be a great governor.
Definitely, and in fact,
we have actual examples, that kind of cases, if we turn to see
the president, one of the most admired presidents of the world Pepe Mujica,
you see him and actually,
this man is a poet, he is a philosopher
I believe that the world of politics and public function,
is the world of the possible,
not of the ideal.
The ideal you bring in thought, in the heart,
but not everything can be achieved,
because there are setbacks there are difficulties,
and then today I didn't get the best I get the second.
And me as theoretical economist and as a very good academic
I’m always thinking in the best,
in the ideal.
But that ideal is not possible,
and sometimes to seek the ideal you doesn't achieve things
But I do want to tell you that it is very interesting,
that you can see how it was thought,
how it was done.
And also how real are the things and are said here,
because I don’t.
But anyone who can be in this chair can say
whatever they want.
