The fragility of power through the analytical approach of political personalism and the disdain for common sense (Case: Mexico)

La fragilidad del poder mediante el enfoque analítico del personalismo político y el desdén del sentido común (Caso: México)

Abstract

The appearance of COVID-19 brought with it effects on all levels of the way of life of humanity. This essay wants to cover and analyze political decisions during this juncture, especially, about political figures of rulers as is the paradoxical case of the current President of Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador AMLO, who served and conducted himself with an ad hoc and sui generistreatment. in the face of the pandemic situation, this with his designs assumed thoughts, behaviors, and actions of a personalistic nature, which only came to attack the lives and fundamental rights of Mexicans (such as the right to life, autonomy, among others). So, with his position and subsequent public acts he demonstrated an unfathomable incompetence, a transgressive management about respect for the fundamental rights of his fellow citizens and himself. The result obtained from the article reflects and evidences the lack of interest in both the right to life, dignity, social welfare, and human solidarity. As a preliminary conclusion, the phenomenal so-called political personalism was observed analytically, which has become a characteristic of the particularized governance, charisma and leadership that have been installed in certain democratic nations.
