Celaya, Gto., September 14, 2018.- To make possible the fourth transformation that the next President of the Republic proposes to promote in the country, a statesman vision is required, which considers the multiple realities of Mexico in population, production, economic, political aspects and social.

The approach was made by the researchers participating in the first colloquium on politics in Mexico today that took place at the Celaya-Salvatierra Campus and where professors and specialists met.

In a Mexico with a territory of 2 million kilometers, 131 million inhabitants, 200,000 human settlements, 3021 localities, the new challenges of population policies require more than good will and good wishes, a statesman president who Involve everyone in the change, but especially those who know and know how to do planning based on the analysis of all the variables involved, emphasized Dr. Héctor Daniel Vega Macías, in his analysis of "the new challenges of population policies."

They agreed to point out that change is necessary and that it can only be achieved with profound transformations. They showed data and hard figures on population dispersion, agricultural diversity, differentiated socioeconomic realities, which show the complex and almost impossible that the country will surpass in 6 years the many lags that has and reach the percentage of Growth raised by the next president.

In the agricultural sector, for example, Mexico has a great competitive advantage because of its diversity and uniqueness, since it has a wide variety of high quality agricultural products; however, policies based on knowledge of the needs and identities of the different agricultural regions will be needed, said Dr. Juan Manuel Vargas Canales, addressing the topic of "specialization and competitiveness of the Mexican agricultural sector in the new political context. "

For Dr. Ricardo Contreras Soto, the next government administration should focus more on the context of the global system than on what an individual can achieve. The fourth transformation needs a social movement; A critical position on the different forms of domination that can be given in the country with the reconfiguration of political power, he said.

Dr. Eduardo Fernandez Guzmán, considered that the democratic transition is a slippery, complex concept and is the great challenge of López Obrador, since it requires the construction of a democracy in politics, in economy and in the social, that starts from a strong civil society, Informed, protesting to enforce it.

In addressing the theme "The López Obrador phenomenon: A historical rupture", he gave an overview of the current situation, where we have an inefficient legal system, a disintegrated social fabric and lack of social security policies.

In making an analysis on the "new subjects and new social consciences in contemporary Mexico", the doctor in anthropology Luis Enrique Ferro Vidal mentioned that AMLO did what nobody by bringing together the broader percentage of population around its proposal, because "to Mexicans like to live in hope "; However, those who chose him will not forgive him for not fulfilling his promises, he said.

The event was closed by Dr. Alberto Valdés Cobos, with an analysis of three possible scenarios: the first one maintains the current trend; The second is moderately optimistic as poverty, insecurity and increased intervention by the state in the national economy are diminished; and in the third the situation of the country worsens. He considered it beneficial for the country to put us at least in the second scenario. He pointed out that for real change in the country it takes at least 30 years.

Lic. Andrés Manuel López Obrador started a left-wing movement that gave him the victory in the past electoral contest and placed him in the presidential chair in a few months. It will be interesting to see how it integrates its political ideas in the new model of nation that has been proposed to build, said in closing way, Dr. Saul Manuel Albor Guzmán, member of the academic body Bio economy and Bio development in the organizations and public policies , organizer of the Symposium on Politics in Mexico today, which was moderated by Dr. Roberto Godínez López and inaugurated by Dr. Benito Rodríguez Haros, Director of the Division of Social and Administrative sciences.
