El Metro is buried by Claudia Sheinbaum

In every capital of the world, like Mexico City, there are public services that decide the vote.Services such as water, garbage collection, security and, above all, public transport.A government and a political party that comply with and guarantee the quality of these services can be sure that the voters support them.This is even known as governability.However, in Mexico City the Metro today has become one of the biggest daily problems of the inhabitants of the capital.And it is that although the Metro is the backbone of mobility and public transport;It is also a public service that, until four years ago, was good – just plain – but also safe and cheap.A transport that in just 40 months has become a danger for millions of users who risk their lives on every trip.A public service that, paradoxically, is not only the biggest burden of the CDMX head of government, but has already become her graveIndeed, the poor Metro service, the stupidity of looting its budget for electoral political purposes and the abandonment of maintenance have already cost Mrs. Claudia her presidential candidacy.Do you doubt it?Let's go step by step.First was the collapse of Line 12 of the Metro.A State crime that, in addition to causing the death of thirty citizens, left 370,000 people without mobility services who used that route daily for their daily activities.The tragedy, caused by the criminal lack of maintenance, was followed by scandals of corruption and official disdain –for the official austerity–, which directly hit two of the most advantaged presidential candidates: Marcelo Ebrard and Claudia Sheinbaum.In the first case, Ebrard is responsible for the mountain of corruption reported in the L-12M;work from which the now chancellor and his right arm, Mario Delgado, took billions of pesos to their private accounts.In the second case, that of the head of government of the DF, total impunity over the tragedy was ordered by Mrs. Shienbaum herself, since she is responsible for having canceled all maintenance on the Metro in order to divert the money to his presidential campaign.And it is that deep down, the tragedy of the L-12M not only cost the lives of Metro users but also uncovered a sewer of corruption that involves politicians, rulers and businessmen – the chancellor, Marcelo Ebrard;Mario Delgado, president of Morena, Claudia Sheinbaum, head of government of CDMX and Carlos Slim, who today enjoy total impunity.Thus, in the face of the tragedy –and with the passage of time–, the head of government of CDMX has become a “cover” for the scandalous corruption that has collapsed the entire Collective Transportation System, Metro;to the extreme of overlapping the former director, Florencia Serranía, directly responsible for the tragedy since she was perfectly aware of the deficiencies due to lack of maintenance, which ultimately caused the collapse of the L-12M.Then the security crisis broke out throughout the System.In other words, users not only had to lose hours on a daily basis due to delays, fires, explosions and even suicides on the train tracks, but also put their lives at risk due to the increase in intensity and frequency of explosions in wagons and platforms.But it wasn't a novelty either.Why?Because at the start of Claudia's administration, not a few Metro union members warned about the imminent danger due to the lack of maintenance of the System, which some described as "a ticking time bomb".A System that was born in September 1979, with Line 1 and that over more than half a century came to have 12 lines;that traveled 227 kilometers from the country's capital, with 195 stations and that at its climax, in October 2019, transported 146 million people, only in that month.Due to its low cost and the efficiency that it had in its best moments, the Metro became the backbone of mobility in the capital of the country and the metropolitan area, with a daily average of 2.3 million daily users until before of the pandemic and the tragedy of the L-12M.Today the Metro is experiencing one of its worst moments, as lines 1 and 12 are out of service;the first due to extensive maintenance and the second due to the collapse of the Tláhuac station.This situation affects almost a million users a day;middle and lower-middle class Mexicans who must pay five or six times the original cost of the Metro, to get another mobility alternative.But the daily anger at the poor quality of the Metro service, at the high cost of other alternatives and at the prevailing insecurity in concessioned public transport translates, willingly or not, into a bad image of the head of government;in potential votes against her.And it is that the routes of "micros" and trucks where criminal gangs have found an inexhaustible vein for their misdeeds are growing without brake.In Tláhuac, for example, the so-called "motorcycle taxis" are not only the only means of popular transportation to go through the entire city hall but, at the same time, they are part of the criminal mafias to carry out the collection of flat, theft and , above all, the distribution and sale of drugs.In turn, throughout the conurbation of the capital of the country, through all or almost all the routes of "micros" and buses, assault, dispossession and robbery are "the best criminal business."Yes, the citizens of that entire region of the country are tired of traveling to their jobs, offices, schools and jobs -most of them in CDMX-, "with Jesus in their mouths", since the day they are not assaulted, they are dispossessed, robbed, kidnapped and, in the extreme, killed.And that's why they force you to ask.What society, in what country in the world, is willing to continue tolerating criminal and nefarious governments like those of Morena in the country's capital?What kind of State offenses should the inhabitants of Mexico City be victims of, to react at some point against the head of government and to reproach at the polls the worst government that the people of the capital have had in half a century?Until when, millions of workers, employees, students, housewives and citizens in general, will they tolerate the ridicule and offense to which they are victims daily, by Mrs. Claudia Sheinbaum, for the poor service of the Metro?Who, what authority will be able to sanction the patronage, electoral and abusive use of the budget of the government of Mexico City?The truth is that the Metro and insecurity in the Mexican capital have already become the political shroud of Mrs. Claudia Sheinbaum;a coffin that canceled all her electoral chances for 2018.At the timeRicardo Aleman/QuadratinIn every capital of the world, like Mexico City, there are public services that decide the vote.Services such as water,
