Celebración de 33 años de Said El Mansour Cherkaoui interés en México

En la víspera de la firma del Tratado de Libre Comercio entre Estados Unidos, Canadá y México, fui a México, donde continué mi conversación con Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas. De hecho, habíamos comenzado en Berkeley en California y continuó en París, en Francia. Durante nuestras reuniones, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas presentó su posición y la de su partido, el Partido de la Revolución Democrática, cuyo impulso político fue provocado por la candidatura de Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas en las elecciones presidenciales de 1988.      

Cuauhtémoc Lázaro Solórzano (México, D. F., 1 de mayo de 1934) es un político mexicano, fundador del Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) es considerado líder moral del PRD y en los amplios sectores de la población, se le ubica como el patriarca de ese partido político y tres veces candidato a la Presidencia de México. En 1997, se convirtió en el primer Jefe de Gobierno del Distrito Federal electo por votación. Formó parte de la [Comisión Organizadora de la Conmemoración del Bicentenario del inicio del movimiento de Independencia Nacional y del Centenario del inicio de la Revolución Mexicana| Coordinador de los festejos del Bicentenario de la Independencia y Centenario de la Revolución Mexicana], ambos conmemorados en 2010, puesto que ejerció desde el 19 de junio de 2006 hasta el 8 de noviembre del mismo año, fecha en que presentó su renuncia al cargo.

Esta final entrevista con Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas se llevó a cabo en el mes de agosto de 1990 y para celebrar este total de 33 anos, un resumen de los intercambios pertinentes que se publicó en Berkeley 1989, Ciudad de México 1990, Paris, Francia 1992 que ofrezco en el siguiente documento.

He was a former Head of Government of the Federal District and a founder of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD). I went to Mexico, where I continued my conversation with Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas. In fact, we had started at Berkeley in California and continued in Paris in France.

On the eve of the signing of the Free Trade Agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico, I went to Mexico, where I continued my conversation with Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas. In fact, we had started in Berkeley in California and continued in Mexici City and Paris in France.

During our multiple meetings, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas presented his position and that of his party, the Party of the Democratic Revolution, whose political momentum was sparked by the Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas’ candidacy in the 1988 presidential election.

The last interview with Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas took place in the month of August 1990 and to celebrate this total of 33 years, with an initial meeting at Berkeley 1989, followed by Ciudad de México in 1990, and in 1992 at Paris, France. A summary of the relevant exchanges I was published in France that I offer to all of you in the following document.

Interview of Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas in Mexico and Published in France

Presentation of the Interview with Cuauhtémoc Cardenas by Said El Mansour Cherkaoui

Field Research Conducted in Mexico by Said El Mansour Cherkaoui including this Interview conducted at the Father Home of Cuauhtémoc Cardenas in Mexico City. The Father Lazaro Cardenas was the youngest General in the entire military history of Mexico and was a key figure in the Revolution of Mexico led by Francisco Madero and other legendary revolutionaries.

Lazaro Cardenas became the President of Mexico and was the Father of one of the first strategy of national development implemented by a Government in the countries of the South. Cuauhtémoc Cardenas has inherited this legacy and had embodied such nationalistic drive with concern to the alleviation of poverty and the equal access to all the social benefits that a State can offered and facilitated for its own citizens in a country that has been the theatre of interests from outside and antagonism from inside social class contradictions connected and stimulated by the rival external forces trying to eliminate international competition and local, regional and national resistance to their attempts and invasions to control the natural, financial and human resources of Mexico.

The following interview took place way before the signing of the Treaty on North American Free Trade Agreement. I have met with Cuauhtémoc Cardenas in California, Mexico City and Paris and maintained with him a correspondence through letters sent to his home in Mexico City. This interview was conducted in Spanish and later on translated in French given the US driven academic and media outlets did not support the views that were questioning the validity of the NAFTA for the development of Mexico or the respect of the Mexican Workers Rights.

During my visit to France, I was contacted by Mona Huerta a researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique who proposed to me to have this interview to be published by a research group from Paris – Lyon, a Network of Researchers who are specialized on Mexico and Latin America.
