Solidaridad con sello oficial

Durante la entrega de tarjetas del programa Pensión Mujeres Bienestar, Claudia Sheinbaum hizo un anuncio que nada tenía que ver con las beneficiarias presentes. Reafirmó el compromiso de su administración para continuar brindando apoyo al pueblo de Cuba.

¿La razón? Según la mandataria, esto responde a los “principios de solidaridad y humanismo que definen la identidad nacional”. Un guion conocido, aplicado ahora en Nayarit.

“Nos caracteriza el amor a las mexicanas y los mexicanos, el amor por el prójimo… en la Cuarta Transformación hay una palabra que nos caracteriza: el Humanismo, que es la esencia del mexicano”,

puntualizó Sheinbaum Pardo. Curioso cómo ese ‘humanismo esencial’ se traduce simultáneamente en política exterior y en dádivas electorales.

Los anuncios de siempre

Respecto a los programas sociales —el motivo real del evento— destacó que la pensión para mujeres es un reconocimiento a su labor. Ariadna Montiel Reyes, secretaria de Bienestar, precisó que son 3 mil 100 pesos bimestrales.

El menú continuó: anunció que la Beca Rita Cetina ampliará cobertura en septiembre para incluir a primarias públicas. Se sumaría a la estrategia Salud Casa por Casa para adultos mayores y personas con discapacidad.

El evento contó con la coreografía habitual. Estuvieron Citlalli Hernández Mora, secretaria de las Mujeres —mencionando futuros Centros LIBRE— y el gobernador de Nayarit, Miguel Ángel Navarro Quintero, agradeciendo la inclusión de su estado en proyectos federales.

Una vez más, la solidaridad internacional sirvió de marco discursivo para repartir apoyos locales. El humanismo, según versión oficial, es exportable y también convertible en votos.
