The article reflects on over seven years of observing the Mexican government's daily speeches, which the author describes as a mix of lies, clichés, attacks, and evasion of responsibility. The initial inertia of the government was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated pre-existing issues such as the controversial cancellation of the new airport and attacks on structural reforms, notably in education and energy. The author argues that the pandemic was exploited to dismantle various government programs and focus resources on direct cash distributions, which they interpret as a strategy for vote-buying.

The government's handling of the pandemic led to significant public discontent. In 2021, citizens reacted against President López Obrador's coalition, signaling frustration over the lack of vaccination for children and the negligence towards vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly suffering from COVID-19. The dissolution of trust in governmental management is reflected in the decline of voting support for Obrador's coalition, despite the attempts from the Movimiento Ciudadano party to act as an alternative, which the article contends undermined the coalition's potential resurgence.

Ultimately, the piece serves as a critique not just of specific policies but also of the general apathy towards critical governance issues that have emerged in recent years. The author expresses concern that these failures may lead to long-term negative consequences for Mexican democracy and public health, urging a reconsideration of priorities in governmental discourses.
