The constitutional act, which is celebrated year after year in Querétaro, is characterized by enormous ritual symbolism and therefore additionally convenes 31 governors and the government of the city of Mexico to the Poderes de la Unión.
February 5 is not celebrated personally, it commemorates submission to the power of the law. In this case, we remember that the law is above all the people, that the burden is fleeting and the constitution does not age before anyone, and on the contrary represents national unity, pride and dignity.
Therefore, in the liturgy of this day – the order of the presidium, prayer, silence, vestments, premises or guests – is designed to convey balance, dignity and equality between the powers, even in times of institutional captivity to rule 4.
And let us record that it was in Querétaro that God ended the revolution that began in 1910, and in this historic city, celebrated in 1917, in the Constitution that gave shape to the great agreement of the Great Charter, which today, with hundreds of reforms and additions, is the guide of officials throughout the institutional membership of the country.
The idea of an unreasonable official cleaning the zapatos of Hugo Aguilar Ortiz, President of the Supreme Court in public, comes at the worst moment and in the worst place, being shocked is not an anecdote, not even an innocent gesture, a kind reverence, it does the exact opposite of the spirit of the ceremony, a ritual constitutional institution, that no powerful person can be a constitutional institution. Otherwise, have clerks available for personal service.
The image immediately circulated in social circles, and so did the lapidary comments of citizens and opinion leaders, and it is a shameful press that obscured the constitutional ritual, including the constitutional own mensaje leído en Zapotec by the interviewed president of the court.
It never had to happen because the image of the woman agachada limpiándole the zapatos to the president of the court, painfully transferred to state power in objeto deference personal, not institutional, because it was simply a polite act inappropriate for the investiture carried by Minister Aguilar Ortiz.
It doesn’t matter here whether you asked for a “handy gesture” or a “courtesy” because the symbol dominates the picture.
Furthermore, when one comes across a lie at the point of excuse, verify the damage by telling the minister that he requested an official who did not ask him, which is not visible in the video that is circulating, on the contrary, if they are satisfied that they will also meet the zapato so that no one asks for a pinch of suciedad.
In the language of power, he who cleans the shoes of others is subordinate, and he who offers to them accepts this subordination to power. The court scene does not belong to the modern republic until the logic that reflects the cases in the pre-constitutional: power, meridado de gesta personal service.
On February 5, we remembered the break with this classicism, which was part of the ethical offer that sold the official, with the sentence: We are not the same when the image of this woman restores, so to speak, a new version of that classicism.
The constitution was degraded by the domestic and so-called microphysics of power, as brilliantly argued by the French philosopher: Michel Foucault, it is said that the world of forms, gestures, worship, which are considered normal in our society and now unacceptable for many results.
The implicit message is devastating: now, the majesty of the law, you can hope it is the image of the hierarchy, the brilliance of its zapatos, and the distorted image of inclusion and pluralism at the highest levels of the political and judicial bureaucracy.
It is clear that the institutional celebration has been replaced by a domestic, private scene unsuitable for the institutional public space. The Constitution temporarily ceases to be sujeto and begins to be decorated. The damage is not individual, it is systemic. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a functionary, it doesn’t even matter the intention. If you have said that you are a seasoned ITAM officer, surely it also insults your academic institution that professionally trained you for the service.
Come on, the damage is structural: normalize the idea that there are people at the top of the state who need them, no institutions to care for them. The final thought is that we are not all equal before the law and that we are different. Moreover, when his own minister, the president sold himself as an image of plurality, inclusion, as a rupture with the classical and polite past.
And here is another picture, at the court of the mestizos, the native minister who symbolically represents everyone and as such must fully exercise the humility that the load demands of her.
The picture of the hot woman will match the graphic analyzes of the story. And the very fact that on one day it symbolizes that no one is at the top of the constitution, this image, the opposite suggests, has those that require special attention, gestures of bodily respect, symbolic privileges.
A remark about the ceremony, which was intended to reflect values beyond political differences, ultimately sparked the shameful image. Acknowledging that Mexicans are united in the essentials, especially now that relations with the United States have become complicated, as expressed by commentators Queretano Governor Mauricio Kuri and Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Kenia López Rabadán, who refuted the value of national unity and the need to preserve political plurality over autocratic pretensions.
