"Sí podía saberse lo que iba a ocurrir si Andrés Manuel López Obrador llegaba a la Presidencia. Bastaba observar, poner atención, seguir los pasos que fue dando desde sus orígenes como soldado priista. Eso es justamente lo que ha hecho Pablo Hiriart desde hace 34 años: señalar y documentar cada una de las afrentas que la democracia mexicana ha soportado a manos del fundador de Morena. Sí podía saberse que el único requisito para lucrar bajo el cobijo de AMLO era serle fiel. Así ocurrió cuando gobernó la Ciudad de México. Sí podía saberse que las instituciones serían despreciadas: lo había anunciado. Sí podía saberse que la corrupción inundaría su mandato: había precedentes, videos, documentos, una cauda de impunidades... Esta obra compila esa historia. Y, mediante una serie de diálogos de primer nivel, el autor demuestra algo aún más grave: a la vista de lo que ha hecho López Obrador, no hay razones para esperar que respete un resultado adverso en 2024. Sí puede saberse. Sí puede hacerse algo." -Del editor.

"Yes, it could have been known what was going to happen if Andrés Manuel López Obrador became President. It was enough to observe, to pay attention, to follow the steps he was taking since his origins as a PRI soldier. That is precisely what Pablo Hiriart has done for 34 years: pointing out and documenting each of the affronts that Mexican democracy has endured at the hands of the founder of Morena. Yes, it could have been known that the only requirement to profit under AMLO's shelter was to be faithful to him. This was the case when he governed Mexico City. Yes, it could have been known that the institutions would be despised: he had announced it. It could have been known that corruption would flood his mandate: there were precedents, videos, documents, a trail of impunity... This work compiles that history. And, through a series of high-level dialogues, the author demonstrates something even more serious: in view of what López Obrador has done, there is no reason to expect him to respect an adverse result in 2024. Yes, it can be known. Yes, something can be done." -From publisher.
