Differences of opinion, ideology, and policy are a natural part of political life. Yet there is an important difference between having a <strong>political adversary</strong> and constructing an <strong>enemy</strong>. Political psychology calls this phenomenon the <strong>psychology of the political enemy</strong>: a process through which a group stops perceiving those who think differently as citizens with different ideas and begins to see them as a threat to the nation, its values, or the collective well-being.

Social psychology has shown that people tend to divide the world into <strong>&#8220;us&#8221; and &#8220;them,&#8221;</strong> favoring those they consider part of their group and distrusting those they perceive as outsiders. Political leaders know this mechanism and, at times, use it to strengthen the <strong>identity</strong> of their followers. By presenting a group as responsible for the country&#8217;s problems, a complex reality is simplified and an emotionally appealing explanation is offered: if an enemy exists, then so does someone who promises to defeat it.</p><p>This is the context in which <strong>nonexistent or exaggerated public enemies</strong> appear. It does not mean that disagreements or conflicts are not real, but that certain people, institutions, or social sectors are presented as solely responsible for every ill. Intellectuals, journalists, judges, business leaders, civil society organizations, or even citizens who voice different opinions can become symbols of a supposed danger to society. Complexity disappears, replaced by a simple <strong>narrative</strong>: &#8220;they are the problem.&#8221;</p><p>Why is this strategy so useful to a government or a political movement? Because the existence of an enemy generates <strong>internal cohesion</strong>. When people feel they face a common threat, they tend to close ranks around the leadership, internal criticism diminishes, and the willingness to justify extraordinary measures grows. Moreover, focusing attention on an enemy diverts debate away from structural problems, management failures, or insufficient results. Instead of asking how to solve public challenges, the conversation revolves around who should be singled out as the culprit.</p><p>The risk is that, over time, <strong>perception</strong> replaces <strong>evidence</strong>. When an enemy is constructed from repeated speeches rather than verifiable facts, society may begin to accept restrictions on rights, permanent disqualification, or acts of exclusion against people who simply think differently. Suspicion becomes the norm, and dialogue a sign of weakness. In that environment, any criticism can be read as betrayal and any difference as a threat.</p><p>History shows that the construction of public enemies has been used by governments of different ideologies and in different historical moments. It is not the exclusive practice of one country or one political current. Whenever a leadership needs to strengthen the cohesion of its followers, justify exceptional measures, or explain complex problems through a single culprit, the temptation to <strong>manufacture an enemy</strong> appears. Psychology explains why this rhetoric is so effective: people prefer <strong>simple stories</strong>, with clearly identified heroes and villains, over accepting that public problems usually have multiple causes and difficult solutions.</p><p>That is why the best defense of a democracy lies not only in electing good leaders, but in developing citizens capable of distinguishing between a <strong>legitimate adversary</strong> and a <strong>politically constructed enemy</strong>. A society that stops questioning these narratives risks losing its capacity to debate, cooperate, and recognize the <strong>plurality</strong> that characterizes any democratic system. When <strong>fear</strong> replaces <strong>reason</strong>, politics ceases to be a space for resolving differences and becomes a permanent battlefield.</p><p>Perhaps the most important question is not who the supposed enemy presented to us each day is, but <strong>who benefits</strong> from our believing in its existence. History teaches that the freest societies are not those where everyone thinks alike, but those where it is possible to <strong>dissent</strong> without being branded a threat. Turning the other into an enemy may yield immediate political gains, but it also erodes trust, tears the <strong>social fabric</strong>, and hinders the agreements indispensable for confronting our real collective problems.</p><p>Before accepting that a group, an institution, or a person is the source of every ill, it is worth pausing to ask ourselves: am I reacting to <strong>verifiable facts</strong> or to an <strong>emotional narrative</strong>? Who wins when I stop seeing a fellow citizen as an adversary and begin to see them as an enemy? Could a democracy survive if we all came to believe that those who think differently deserve to be excluded rather than heard?</p><h2></h2>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[La psicología del enemigo político: fabricar enemigos, dividir ciudadanos]]></title><description><![CDATA[C&#243;mo los liderazgos convierten al adversario en amenaza &#8212; y qu&#233; le cuesta eso a una democracia]]></description><link>https://www.blackpaper.mx/p/la-psicologia-del-enemigo-politico</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.blackpaper.mx/p/la-psicologia-del-enemigo-politico</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Perla Psi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2026 03:00:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Z4SB!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3b4a9c56-d990-4f2b-aac0-3b68252c22ca_1456x765.webp" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Toda sociedad democr&#225;tica tiene desacuerdos.

La psicolog&#237;a social ha demostrado que las personas tienden a dividir el mundo entre <strong>&#171;nosotros&#187; y &#171;ellos&#187;</strong>, favoreciendo a quienes consideran parte de su grupo y desconfiando de quienes perciben como externos. Los l&#237;deres pol&#237;ticos conocen este mecanismo y, en ocasiones, lo utilizan para fortalecer la <strong>identidad</strong> de sus seguidores. Al presentar a un grupo como responsable de los problemas del pa&#237;s, se simplifica una realidad compleja y se ofrece una explicaci&#243;n emocionalmente atractiva: si existe un enemigo, entonces tambi&#233;n existe alguien que promete derrotarlo.</p><p>En ese contexto aparecen los <strong>enemigos p&#250;blicos inexistentes o exagerados</strong>. No significa que los desacuerdos o los conflictos no existan, sino que determinadas personas, instituciones o sectores sociales son presentados como responsables absolutos de todos los males. Intelectuales, periodistas, jueces, empresarios, organizaciones civiles, o incluso ciudadanos que expresan opiniones distintas pueden convertirse en s&#237;mbolos de un supuesto peligro para la sociedad. La complejidad desaparece y es sustituida por una <strong>narrativa</strong> sencilla: &#171;ellos son el problema&#187;.</p><p>&#191;Por qu&#233; resulta tan &#250;til esta estrategia para un gobierno o para un movimiento pol&#237;tico? Porque la existencia de un enemigo genera <strong>cohesi&#243;n interna</strong>. Cuando las personas sienten que enfrentan una amenaza com&#250;n, suelen cerrar filas alrededor del liderazgo, disminuyen las cr&#237;ticas internas y aumenta la disposici&#243;n a justificar decisiones extraordinarias. Adem&#225;s, concentrar la atenci&#243;n en un enemigo desv&#237;a el debate sobre problemas estructurales, errores de gesti&#243;n o resultados insuficientes. En lugar de preguntarse c&#243;mo resolver los desaf&#237;os p&#250;blicos, la conversaci&#243;n gira en torno a qui&#233;n debe ser se&#241;alado como culpable.</p><p>El riesgo es que, con el tiempo, la <strong>percepci&#243;n</strong> sustituya a la <strong>evidencia</strong>. Cuando un enemigo es construido a partir de discursos repetidos m&#225;s que de hechos verificables, la sociedad puede comenzar a aceptar restricciones a derechos, descalificaciones permanentes o actos de exclusi&#243;n contra personas que simplemente piensan distinto. La sospecha se convierte en norma y el di&#225;logo en una se&#241;al de debilidad. En ese ambiente, cualquier cr&#237;tica puede interpretarse como una traici&#243;n y cualquier diferencia como una amenaza.</p><p>La historia demuestra que la construcci&#243;n de enemigos p&#250;blicos ha sido utilizada por gobiernos de distintas ideolog&#237;as y en diferentes momentos hist&#243;ricos. No es una pr&#225;ctica exclusiva de un pa&#237;s o de una corriente pol&#237;tica. Cada vez que un liderazgo necesita fortalecer la cohesi&#243;n de sus seguidores, justificar medidas excepcionales o explicar problemas complejos mediante un &#250;nico responsable, aparece la tentaci&#243;n de <strong>fabricar un enemigo</strong>. La psicolog&#237;a explica por qu&#233; este discurso resulta tan eficaz: las personas prefieren <strong>relatos simples</strong>, con h&#233;roes y villanos claramente identificados, antes que aceptar que los problemas p&#250;blicos suelen tener m&#250;ltiples causas y soluciones dif&#237;ciles.</p><p>Por ello, la mejor defensa de una democracia no consiste &#250;nicamente en elegir buenos gobernantes, sino en desarrollar ciudadanos capaces de distinguir entre un <strong>adversario leg&#237;timo</strong> y un <strong>enemigo construido pol&#237;ticamente</strong>. Una sociedad que deja de cuestionar estas narrativas corre el riesgo de perder la capacidad de debatir, cooperar y reconocer la <strong>pluralidad</strong> que caracteriza a cualquier sistema democr&#225;tico. Cuando el <strong>miedo</strong> sustituye a la <strong>raz&#243;n</strong>, la pol&#237;tica deja de ser un espacio para resolver diferencias y se convierte en un campo de batalla permanente.</p><p>Quiz&#225; la pregunta m&#225;s importante no sea qui&#233;n es el supuesto enemigo que nos presentan cada d&#237;a, sino <strong>qui&#233;n se beneficia</strong> de que creamos en su existencia. La historia ense&#241;a que las sociedades m&#225;s libres no son aquellas donde todos piensan igual, sino aquellas donde es posible <strong>disentir</strong> sin ser se&#241;alado como una amenaza. Convertir al otro en enemigo puede generar r&#233;ditos pol&#237;ticos inmediatos, pero tambi&#233;n erosiona la confianza, rompe el <strong>tejido social</strong> y dificulta la construcci&#243;n de acuerdos indispensables para enfrentar los verdaderos problemas colectivos.</p><p>Antes de aceptar que un grupo, una instituci&#243;n o una persona representa el origen de todos los males, conviene detenerse y preguntarnos: &#191;estoy reaccionando a <strong>hechos verificables</strong> o a una <strong>narrativa emocional</strong>? &#191;Qui&#233;n gana cuando dejo de ver a un ciudadano como un adversario y comienzo a verlo como un enemigo? &#191;Podr&#237;a una democracia sobrevivir si todos terminamos creyendo que quien piensa diferente merece ser excluido en lugar de ser escuchado?</p><div><hr></div><h1></h1>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[BlackPaper, today]]></title><description><![CDATA[The CNDH clears the Army in Ayotzinapa and Sheinbaum distances

don&#8217;t know when we&#8217;ll see a Mexico like that again</strong>. We don&#8217;t even know if it will ever happen again. Because for at least 24 days, social class, political ideology and religion didn&#8217;t matter. The whole country was united, ecstatic, creating moments that will last a lifetime.</p><h2>One Reason Was All It Took</h2><p>The <em>&#8220;quiere volar,&#8221;</em> the rows of stacked cups, the traffic-cone fights, the <em>&#8220;&#191;Y si s&#237;?&#8221;</em> Hugging strangers, coming together around one same cause, made us realize that <strong>this deeply divided country is just one reason away from uniting</strong>.</p><p>Personally, <strong>I had never seen the country so united and so happy</strong>.</p><p>That is what has truly saddened millions of Mexicans.</p><p>Because in a country starved for joy &#8212; where death, violence and confrontation are the news every single day, at every hour &#8212; <strong>living four weeks of happiness is a true miracle</strong>.</p><h2>The Miracle Doesn&#8217;t Erase Reality</h2><p>Let me be clear: I&#8217;m not saying the country was doing fine for a month. Throughout the World Cup, the disappearances, the erosion of the rule of law, the institutional decay and government corruption all continued. Which is exactly why this summer was unforgettable for so many: because <strong>despite the country&#8217;s enormous sorrows, we lived something wonderful</strong>.</p><h2>The Lesson We Must Not Forget</h2><p>If this World Cup taught us anything, it&#8217;s that <strong>Mexicans can indeed stand united</strong>, that the good among us outnumber the bad, that we are organized and creative enough to rally behind a cause. Let&#8217;s hope it doesn&#8217;t take another World Cup to remind us.</p><p>Let&#8217;s hope that in the months and years ahead we hold on to part of that unity and that organization: to elect better leaders, to demand a better country, and to <strong>tell the politicians who make a living pitting us against one another to go to hell</strong>.</p><p><em>I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the crowd crush on Paseo de la Reforma during the celebrations of Mexico&#8217;s victory over Ecuador.

But the outward focus dodges the other question: why <strong>Zambada</strong> operated for <strong>forty years</strong> untouched by Mexico, with a protection that US <strong>courts</strong> have already documented (<a href="https://www.excelsior.com.mx/nacional/mananera-sheinbaum-hoy-vivo-resumen-conferencia-9-julio-2026">Exc&#233;lsior</a>).</p><blockquote><p><em>BlackPaper Comment:</em> Protesting the <strong>FBI</strong> is legitimate and convenient at once: it points at the neighbor. <strong>Sovereignty</strong> was lost earlier, in the <strong>bribes</strong> a jury already proved up to the cabinet. The real grievance didn&#8217;t cross the <strong>border</strong>; it stayed home, and no ma&#241;anera investigates that one.</p></blockquote><h3><strong>The Fed is in no hurry</strong></h3><p><em>The minutes cool the bet on cuts</em></p><p>The June <strong>FOMC</strong> minutes left the rate at <strong>3.50-3.75%</strong> and a clear message: cuts are not &#8220;the default path.&#8221; <strong>Inflation</strong> persists, pushed by the <strong>Middle East</strong> war and <strong>AI</strong> spending (<a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/monetary20260708a.htm">Federal Reserve</a>).</p><p>For Mexico, the message lands hard. A dollar whose rate won&#8217;t fall caps <strong>Banxico</strong> and sustains pressure on the <strong>peso</strong>, which closed nearly flat at <strong>17.56</strong>. Room to cut here depends, again, on there (<a href="https://mx.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/las-bolsas-de-valores-de-mexico-cerraron-con-caidas-el-spbmv-ipc-perdio-un-075-3681091">Investing</a>).</p><blockquote><p><em>BlackPaper Comment:</em> Mexican monetary policy is set, in part, in <strong>Washington</strong>. With the <strong>Fed</strong> pinned by the inflation of its own war and its <strong>AI</strong> boom, <strong>Banxico</strong> may want to cut and be unable to: easing alone, with the Fed above, punishes the <strong>peso</strong>. Autonomy has a ceiling, and it&#8217;s someone else&#8217;s.</p></blockquote><h3><strong>A Mexican dies in ICE custody</strong></h3><p><em>Mexico moves from the diplomatic note to the criminal complaint</em></p><p>After the death of Mexican national <strong>Lorenzo Salgado</strong> during an <strong>ICE</strong> operation, the government announced it will harden its strategy: dropping <strong>diplomatic notes</strong> for <strong>criminal complaints</strong> over alleged human-rights violations (<a href="https://www.infobae.com/mexico/2026/07/09/en-vivo-la-mananera-de-la-presidenta-claudia-sheinbaum-hoy-jueves-09-de-julio/">Infobae</a>).</p><p>The shift runs deep. Mexico admits the <strong>formal protest</strong> doesn&#8217;t stop the raids and seeks a more <strong>litigious</strong> footing against <strong>Trump</strong>&#8216;s migration policy. The bet is <strong>judicial</strong>; the outcome, uncertain (<a href="https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/nacional/2026/07/09/claudia-sheinbaum-mananera-temas-hoy-9-de-julio-de-2026-en-vivo/">El Financiero</a>).</p><blockquote><p><em>BlackPaper Comment:</em> Escalating to the criminal track is a signal as valid as it is limited. A citizen dead in custody demands an answer; but the route through someone else&#8217;s <strong>courts</strong> is slow and doubtful. Mexico rediscovers that its <strong>influence</strong> ends where the neighbor&#8217;s <strong>border</strong> begins.</p></blockquote><h3><strong>No new taxes (nor on inheritances)</strong></h3><p><em>Sheinbaum rules out raising the tax burden</em></p><p><strong>Sheinbaum</strong> shut the door on <strong>new taxes</strong> and, specifically, on taxing <strong>inheritances</strong>.

Without more <strong>revenue</strong> and with <strong>growth</strong> falling, the fiscal target is met by cutting what gets spent: the <strong>underspend</strong> that already chills public works. Not raising taxes has its <strong>bill</strong> too (<a href="https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/nacional/2026/07/09/claudia-sheinbaum-mananera-temas-hoy-9-de-julio-de-2026-en-vivo/">El Financiero</a>).</p><blockquote><p><em>BlackPaper Comment:</em> Not creating taxes is defensible, and this house applauds it.

A chief financial officer must master finance; an operations manager must know the production processes; a head of human resources must know how to manage people. If these positions were filled purely out of friendship, loyalty, or favoritism, the organization would begin to decay from within. What is troubling is that, in many governments, this practice has been normalized through <strong>political appointments that place proximity to power above professional ability</strong>.</p><p>When decisions rest in the hands of unprepared people, <strong>improvisation replaces strategy</strong>. Problems are no longer prevented; they are addressed only once they have become crises. In a company, this kind of management would end in financial losses and, most likely, bankruptcy. In a government, the cost is far greater: failing hospitals, underfunded schools, unfinished public works, rising insecurity, and ever less efficient public services. The difference is that a company loses customers; a government puts the well-being of an entire society at risk.</p><p>There is another fundamental difference. Companies are required to measure their results constantly. If a project fails, if sales decline, or if productivity drops, executives must answer to investors and boards of directors. Some governments, by contrast, replace indicators with speeches, press conferences, and communication campaigns designed to convince the public that results are better than the facts actually show. <strong>Perception ends up displacing evidence.</strong></p><p>Equally troubling is the absence of consequences for those who make bad decisions in public administration. In the private sector, an executive who accumulates failures is usually replaced to protect the organization&#8217;s stability. In politics, that is not always the case. Officials with poor track records can remain in office for partisan or political reasons, even when the results show they lack the abilities their duties demand. <strong>This lack of accountability weakens institutions and erodes public trust.</strong></p><p>A modern government should manage talent with the same rigor as the most successful organizations. Public offices should be filled on the basis of merit, experience, leadership, technical ability, and commitment to public service. Public administration cannot keep operating as a space for rewarding political loyalties or repaying electoral favors. When merit stops being the main requirement, <strong>institutional efficiency becomes the exception rather than the rule</strong>.</p><p>Politics needs to understand that <strong>governing also means managing complex organizations</strong>. A ministry, a secretariat, or a public agency manages multimillion-dollar budgets, coordinates thousands of workers, and makes decisions that affect the daily lives of millions of people. If a company demands professionalism to protect its assets, a government should demand excellence all the more to protect the well-being of its citizens. Incompetence in the public sector is not merely poor administration; it is lost opportunity for an entire nation.</p><p>Society tends to demand results from companies because it knows that, otherwise, they will disappear from the market. Yet it is often far less demanding of those who manage public resources. Perhaps the time has come to apply the same principle to our governments: <strong>judge performance by results, require professional credentials for positions of high responsibility, and reject improvisation as a way of governing</strong>. A country&#8217;s future should not depend on the political loyalty of a few, but on the ability, the ethics, and the commitment of those who hold in their hands the decisions that matter most to everyone.</p><h2>References</h2><p>La direcci&#243;n de organizaciones.

Un director financiero debe dominar las finanzas; un gerente de operaciones debe conocer los procesos productivos; un responsable de recursos humanos debe saber gestionar personas. Si estos cargos fueran ocupados &#250;nicamente por amistad, lealtad o favoritismo, la organizaci&#243;n comenzar&#237;a a deteriorarse desde su interior. Lo preocupante es que, en muchos gobiernos, esta pr&#225;ctica se ha normalizado mediante <strong>nombramientos pol&#237;ticos que privilegian la cercan&#237;a al poder por encima de la capacidad profesional</strong>.</p><p>Cuando las decisiones quedan en manos de personas sin preparaci&#243;n, <strong>la improvisaci&#243;n sustituye a la estrategia</strong>. Los problemas dejan de prevenirse y &#250;nicamente se atienden cuando ya se han convertido en crisis. En una empresa, este tipo de administraci&#243;n terminar&#237;a provocando p&#233;rdidas econ&#243;micas y, probablemente, la quiebra. En un gobierno, el costo es mucho mayor: hospitales con deficiencias, escuelas sin recursos, obras inconclusas, inseguridad creciente y servicios p&#250;blicos cada vez menos eficientes. La diferencia es que una empresa pierde clientes; un gobierno pone en riesgo el bienestar de toda una sociedad.</p><p>Existe otra diferencia fundamental. Las empresas est&#225;n obligadas a medir permanentemente sus resultados. Si un proyecto fracasa, si las ventas disminuyen o si la productividad cae, los directivos deben responder ante inversionistas y consejos administrativos. En cambio, algunos gobiernos sustituyen los indicadores por discursos, conferencias y campa&#241;as de comunicaci&#243;n que buscan convencer a la ciudadan&#237;a de que los resultados son mejores de lo que realmente muestran los hechos. <strong>La percepci&#243;n termina desplazando a la evidencia.</strong></p><p>Tambi&#233;n resulta preocupante la ausencia de consecuencias para quienes toman malas decisiones en la administraci&#243;n p&#250;blica. En el sector privado, un directivo que acumula fracasos suele ser reemplazado para proteger la estabilidad de la organizaci&#243;n. En la pol&#237;tica, no siempre ocurre lo mismo. Funcionarios con un desempe&#241;o deficiente pueden permanecer en sus cargos por razones partidistas o pol&#237;ticas, aun cuando los resultados demuestren que no cuentan con las capacidades necesarias para ejercer sus funciones. <strong>Esta falta de rendici&#243;n de cuentas debilita a las instituciones y reduce la confianza ciudadana.</strong></p><p>Un gobierno moderno deber&#237;a administrar el talento con el mismo rigor que las organizaciones m&#225;s exitosas. Los cargos p&#250;blicos tendr&#237;an que ocuparse mediante criterios de m&#233;rito, experiencia, liderazgo, capacidad t&#233;cnica y compromiso con el servicio a la sociedad. La administraci&#243;n p&#250;blica no puede seguir funcionando como un espacio para recompensar lealtades pol&#237;ticas o pagar favores electorales. Cuando el m&#233;rito deja de ser el principal requisito, <strong>la eficiencia institucional se convierte en una excepci&#243;n y no en la regla</strong>.</p><p>La pol&#237;tica necesita comprender que <strong>gobernar tambi&#233;n implica gestionar organizaciones complejas</strong>. Un ministerio, una secretar&#237;a o una dependencia p&#250;blica administran presupuestos millonarios, coordinan miles de trabajadores y toman decisiones que afectan la vida cotidiana de millones de personas. Si una empresa exige profesionalismo para proteger su patrimonio, con mayor raz&#243;n un gobierno deber&#237;a exigir excelencia para proteger el bienestar de sus ciudadanos. La incompetencia en el sector p&#250;blico no solo representa un mal desempe&#241;o administrativo; representa oportunidades perdidas para toda una naci&#243;n.</p><p>La sociedad suele exigir resultados a las empresas porque sabe que, de lo contrario, desaparecer&#225;n del mercado. Sin embargo, con frecuencia es menos exigente con quienes administran los recursos p&#250;blicos. Tal vez ha llegado el momento de aplicar el mismo principio a nuestros gobiernos: <strong>evaluar el desempe&#241;o por resultados, exigir perfiles profesionales para ocupar cargos de alta responsabilidad y rechazar la improvisaci&#243;n como forma de gobernar</strong>. El futuro de un pa&#237;s no deber&#237;a depender de la lealtad pol&#237;tica de unos cuantos, sino de la capacidad, la &#233;tica y el compromiso de quienes tienen en sus manos las decisiones m&#225;s importantes para todos.</p><h2>Referencias</h2><p>La direcci&#243;n de organizaciones.

A rumor, a scream or an unexpected reaction can trigger <strong>mass panic</strong> in a matter of seconds. When that happens, the crowd tends to lose its capacity to assess the situation rationally and responds with desperation. The consequences are well known: shoving, <strong>stampedes</strong>, injuries and even loss of life. These incidents cannot be dismissed as mere accidents; in many cases they reflect a lack of prevention and of <strong>clear protocols</strong> on the part of those who authorized and organized the event.</p><p>Equally troubling is that many people, feeling shielded by the <strong>anonymity</strong> a crowd provides, engage in reckless or violent behavior. Pushing for a better spot, ignoring <strong>evacuation routes</strong>, breaching restricted areas or clashing with fellow attendees are behaviors that raise the risk for everyone. While each individual is responsible for their own actions, it falls to the authorities to establish mechanisms that curb these behaviors through information, monitoring and efficient organization.</p><p>All too often, governments react only after a tragedy occurs. Following an incident come announcements of investigations, new regulations and promises of greater safety, but permanent <strong>public education</strong> campaigns on how to behave at mass events are rarely developed. <strong>Prevention</strong> should begin long before the doors of a stadium, a plaza or a venue open, clearly informing the public about evacuation protocols, assembly points and behaviors that can endanger the entire crowd.</p><p>Likewise, authorities must rigorously supervise the organizers of these events. Authorizing a gathering of thousands of people means guaranteeing sufficient <strong>emergency exits</strong>, trained personnel, medical services, visible signage and <strong>immediate response plans</strong>. Safety must not become an administrative requirement reviewed only on paper, but a permanent obligation whose purpose is to protect the lives of attendees.</p><p>Crowd psychology must also be built into the design of <strong>public policy</strong> governing shows and large gatherings. Understanding how people react under pressure makes it possible to better plan entry points, manage attendee flows and communicate clear instructions during an emergency. Ignoring this scientific knowledge means accepting risks that could be avoided through training, prevention and sound <strong>crowd management</strong>.</p><p>In a society where mass events are increasingly frequent, safety cannot rest on individual behavior alone. Governments have the responsibility to <strong>anticipate risks</strong>, inform the public and guarantee conditions that reduce the likelihood of tragedy. Omission, improvisation or lack of oversight can carry irreparable consequences, which is why prevention must be treated as a priority, not a secondary measure.</p><p>Every time we attend a mass event, we place our trust in the assumption that authorities and organizers have taken every necessary measure to protect us. That trust, however, must be backed by <strong>real action</strong>, not just speeches or written protocols. As citizens, we too have a responsibility to act prudently and follow safety rules, but it is legitimate to demand that those who authorize and organize these events fully meet their duty. The protection of human life cannot depend on luck; it must be the result of <strong>responsible planning</strong>, well-founded decisions and governments&#8217; permanent commitment to public safety.</p><h2>References</h2><p>Ortega y Gasset, J.

Un rumor, un grito o una reacci&#243;n inesperada pueden desencadenar <strong>p&#225;nico colectivo</strong> en cuesti&#243;n de segundos. Cuando esto ocurre, la multitud suele perder la capacidad de analizar racionalmente la situaci&#243;n y responde con desesperaci&#243;n. Las consecuencias son conocidas: empujones, <strong>estampidas</strong>, personas lesionadas e incluso p&#233;rdidas humanas. Estos hechos no pueden considerarse simples accidentes; en muchos casos reflejan la falta de prevenci&#243;n y de <strong>protocolos claros</strong> por parte de quienes autorizaron y organizaron el evento.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n resulta preocupante que muchas personas, al sentirse protegidas por el <strong>anonimato</strong> que ofrece una multitud, adopten conductas irresponsables o violentas. Empujar para obtener un mejor lugar, ignorar las <strong>rutas de evacuaci&#243;n</strong>, invadir zonas restringidas o enfrentarse con otros asistentes son comportamientos que incrementan el riesgo para todos. Aunque cada individuo es responsable de sus actos, corresponde a las autoridades establecer mecanismos que reduzcan estas conductas mediante informaci&#243;n, vigilancia y una organizaci&#243;n eficiente.</p><p>Con frecuencia, los gobiernos reaccionan &#250;nicamente cuando ocurre una tragedia. Despu&#233;s de un incidente se anuncian investigaciones, nuevas regulaciones y promesas de mayor seguridad, pero pocas veces se desarrollan campa&#241;as permanentes de <strong>educaci&#243;n ciudadana</strong> sobre c&#243;mo actuar en eventos masivos. La <strong>prevenci&#243;n</strong> deber&#237;a comenzar mucho antes de abrir las puertas de un estadio, una plaza o un recinto, informando claramente a la poblaci&#243;n sobre protocolos de evacuaci&#243;n, puntos de reuni&#243;n y conductas que pueden poner en peligro a toda la multitud.</p><p>Asimismo, es indispensable que las autoridades supervisen rigurosamente a los organizadores de estos eventos. Autorizar una concentraci&#243;n de miles de personas implica garantizar que existan suficientes <strong>salidas de emergencia</strong>, personal capacitado, servicios m&#233;dicos, se&#241;alizaci&#243;n visible y <strong>planes de respuesta inmediata</strong>. La seguridad no debe convertirse en un requisito administrativo que solo se revisa en el papel, sino en una obligaci&#243;n permanente cuya finalidad sea proteger la vida de los asistentes.</p><p>La psicolog&#237;a de las masas tambi&#233;n debe incorporarse al dise&#241;o de las <strong>pol&#237;ticas p&#250;blicas</strong> relacionadas con espect&#225;culos y concentraciones multitudinarias. Comprender c&#243;mo reaccionan las personas bajo presi&#243;n permite planificar mejor los accesos, controlar los flujos de asistentes y comunicar instrucciones claras durante una emergencia. Ignorar este conocimiento cient&#237;fico significa asumir riesgos que pueden evitarse mediante capacitaci&#243;n, prevenci&#243;n y una adecuada <strong>gesti&#243;n de multitudes</strong>.</p><p>En una sociedad donde los eventos masivos son cada vez m&#225;s frecuentes, la seguridad no puede depender &#250;nicamente del comportamiento individual. Los gobiernos tienen la responsabilidad de <strong>anticiparse a los riesgos</strong>, informar a la poblaci&#243;n y garantizar condiciones que reduzcan la posibilidad de tragedias. La omisi&#243;n, la improvisaci&#243;n o la falta de supervisi&#243;n pueden tener consecuencias irreparables, por lo que la prevenci&#243;n debe ser considerada una prioridad y no una medida secundaria.</p><p>Cada vez que asistimos a un evento masivo depositamos nuestra confianza en que las autoridades y los organizadores han tomado todas las medidas necesarias para proteger nuestra integridad. Sin embargo, esa confianza debe estar respaldada por <strong>acciones reales</strong> y no solo por discursos o protocolos escritos. Como ciudadanos, tambi&#233;n tenemos la responsabilidad de actuar con prudencia y respetar las normas de seguridad, pero es leg&#237;timo exigir que quienes autorizan y organizan estos eventos cumplan plenamente con su deber. La protecci&#243;n de la vida humana no puede depender de la suerte; debe ser el resultado de una <strong>planificaci&#243;n responsable</strong>, de decisiones bien fundamentadas y del compromiso permanente de los gobiernos con la seguridad de la poblaci&#243;n.</p><h2>Referencias</h2><p>Ortega y Gasset, J.

It&#8217;s not a bad quarter; it&#8217;s an economy whose <strong>ceiling</strong> is lowered. Consensus already sees Mexico growing below <strong>2%</strong> (<a href="https://www.bloomberglinea.com/latinoamerica/mexico/revisiones-anuales-del-t-mec-dan-golpe-animico-a-la-inversion-privada-en-mexico/">Bloomberg L&#237;nea</a>).</p><blockquote><p><em>BlackPaper Comment:</em> The USMCA&#8217;s damage didn&#8217;t come via a <strong>tariff</strong>, it came via an <strong>expectation</strong>. The annual review doesn&#8217;t break the treaty: it strips its <strong>horizon</strong>, and with it long-term investment. Mexico didn&#8217;t lose the market; it lost a <strong>decade of growth</strong>.</p></blockquote><h3><strong>The peso that didn&#8217;t flinch</strong></h3><p><em>The &#8220;no&#8221; to the USMCA didn&#8217;t move it; the US did</em></p><p>A punished peso was feared; it closed the week roughly flat, with a slim <strong>0.16%</strong> gain, near <strong>17.51</strong>. But it wasn&#8217;t local merit: on Friday, US <strong>jobs</strong> came in at <strong>57,000</strong> &#8212;half of what was expected&#8212; and knocked the <strong>dollar</strong> down (<a href="https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/mercados/2026/07/03/peso-dolar-precio-hoy-3-de-julio-de-2026/">El Financiero</a>).</p><p>The peso rose because the <strong>neighbor</strong> weakened, not because Mexico healed. The USMCA&#8217;s new regime set a ceiling that even a weak dollar can&#8217;t fully lift: the currency no longer trades its <strong>fundamentals</strong>, but the <strong>premium</strong> of a review that reopens every year.</p><blockquote><p><em>BlackPaper Comment:</em> A flat peso is not a safe peso. That the currency holds thanks to a bad <strong>foreign</strong> print &#8212;US jobs&#8212; isn&#8217;t strength: it&#8217;s borrowed <strong>luck</strong>. The <strong>dollar</strong>&#8216;s weakness covered, for a week, the <strong>premium</strong> the <strong>USMCA</strong> already charges.</p></blockquote><h3><strong>Ebrard looks to Asia</strong></h3><p><em>The official answer: less dependence, more homegrown production</em></p><p><strong>Ebrard</strong> set Mexico&#8217;s answer to the &#8220;no&#8221;: cut <strong>external</strong> dependence and make at home what&#8217;s imported from <strong>Asia</strong> &#8212;<strong>penicillin</strong>, <strong>semiconductors</strong>&#8212;.

For the <strong>July 20</strong> round he&#8217;ll bring three concerns, but denies seeking <strong>new treaties</strong>. The strategy sounds good; the instrument &#8212;a <strong>semiconductor</strong> industry&#8212; is a matter of years (<a href="https://www.sinembargo.mx/4777089/ebrard-reducir-la-dependencia-de-asia-es-principal-reto-en-negociaciones-del-t-mec/">Sin Embargo</a>).</p><blockquote><p><em>BlackPaper Comment:</em> &#8220;Diversify&#8221; is the right word and the hardest.

The government presents it as fiscal <strong>discipline</strong> (<a href="https://www.finanzaspublicas.hacienda.gob.mx/">SHCP</a>).</p><p>But the adjustment didn&#8217;t come from <strong>revenue</strong> to spare, but from <strong>spending</strong> left unexecuted: an <strong>underspend</strong>. In an economy with falling growth, spending less than promised balances the paper, but <strong>chills</strong> activity further (<a href="https://www.finanzaspublicas.hacienda.gob.mx/">SHCP</a>).</p><blockquote><p><em>BlackPaper Comment:</em> A smaller-than-forecast deficit sounds like prudence; up close, it&#8217;s <strong>austerity</strong> by omission. The government hits the target by <strong>not spending</strong> what it promised &#8212;works, investment&#8212; just as the USMCA already cut its <strong>growth</strong>. It balances the books and pays in <strong>GDP</strong>.</p></blockquote><h3><em><strong>In brief</strong></em></h3><ul><li><p><strong>The jobs number that knocked the dollar.</strong> The US added just <strong>57,000</strong> payrolls in June, half of what was expected; the <strong>dollar</strong> fell and the market again bet on a <strong>Fed</strong> <strong>cut</strong> in September (<a href="https://mx.investing.com/news/economic-indicators/economia-de-eeuu-genera-57000-empleos-en-junio-3673155">Investing</a>).</p></li><li><p><strong>The World Cup warning.</strong> The <strong>UK</strong> warned its travelers over <strong>crowds</strong> and <strong>theft</strong>; it lands after the deaths by asphyxia on <strong>Paseo de la Reforma</strong>. <strong>Sheinbaum</strong>: it&#8217;s &#8220;<strong>safe</strong>&#8220; to visit Mexico (<a href="https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/nacional/2026/07/02/claudia-sheinbaum-mananera-temas-hoy-2-de-julio-de-2026-en-vivo/">El Financiero</a>).</p></li><li><p><strong>The north without power.</strong> The week left the industrial north with <strong>blackouts</strong> at <strong>47&#176;C</strong> and <strong>CFE</strong> promising <strong>244 billion pesos</strong> by 2030: firm power, the nearshoring hook, isn&#8217;t guaranteed today (<a href="https://www.elimparcial.com/mexico/2026/06/30/cfe-armo-un-plan-contra-apagones-con-244-mil-mdp-y-atenciones-que-no-acaben-solo-en-recibir-solicitudes-de-servicio-29-estados-se-reunieron/">El Imparcial</a>).</p></li><li><p><strong>Your face, the bank&#8217;s key.</strong> Since <strong>July 1</strong>, the <strong>CNBV</strong> made <strong>facial biometrics</strong> mandatory for bank operations above <strong>140,000 pesos</strong>, with no clear <strong>opt-out</strong> (<a href="https://legalario.com/blog/biometria-obligatoria-en-banca-que-operaciones-cambiaran-a-partir-de-julio-2026/">Legalario</a>).</p></li><li><p><strong>Colombia closes the Petro era.</strong> <strong>Abelardo de la Espriella</strong> was proclaimed president-elect by <strong>0.004</strong> points; he takes office on <strong>August 7</strong>.

The <strong>nearshoring</strong> bottlenecks are <strong>water scarcity</strong> in the north, insufficient <strong>power capacity</strong>, <strong>insecurity</strong> and the lack of specialized <strong>talent</strong> (<a href="https://agentedigitalizado.com/nearshoring-en-mexico-2026-datos-industrias-ganadoras-y-proyecciones-a-2030/">Agente Digitalizado</a>).</p><p>The symptom is plain: <strong>Mexico City</strong> budgets <strong>643</strong> water works worth <strong>7,000 million pesos</strong> in 2026 alone, and the industrial north drags <strong>blackouts</strong> at <strong>47&#176;C</strong>. It courts the <strong>semiconductor</strong> maker &#8212;which drinks water by the millions of liters&#8212; on a grid already rationing (<a href="https://elcongresista.mx/politica/cdmx/cdmx-obras-hidraulicas-2026/">El Congresista</a>).</p><blockquote><p><em>BlackPaper Comment:</em> Mexico can win the <strong>USMCA</strong> table and lose the <strong>infrastructure</strong> one. The factory it wants to bring from <strong>Asia</strong> needs firm <strong>water</strong> and <strong>power</strong>; offering it a country that rations both is selling a house with no foundations. The treaty is the noise; the <strong>water</strong>, the brake.</p></blockquote><h3><strong>Banxico shut the door</strong></h3><p><em>Weak jobs revive the Fed, not rate cuts in Mexico</em></p><p>The weak <strong>US</strong> jobs revived the bet on a <strong>Fed</strong> cut in September. The question for Mexico is whether that gives <strong>Banxico</strong> room to lower its <strong>6.50%</strong> and aid a <strong>GDP</strong> analysts already see at <strong>1.07%</strong> (<a href="https://elceo.com/economia/analistas-encuestados-por-banxico-recortan-pronosticos-de-inflacion-y-pib-para-2026/">El CEO</a>).</p><p>The answer is no. Banxico <strong>closed</strong> its cutting cycle in <strong>May</strong>; <strong>core</strong> inflation has spent <strong>26 fortnights</strong> above <strong>4%</strong> (<strong>4.12%</strong>), and the board already <strong>split</strong> on the last vote. The Fed moving doesn&#8217;t change Mexico&#8217;s price problem (<a href="https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/economia/2026/05/22/banxico-afianza-fin-a-los-recortes-de-la-tasa-de-interes-ve-lenta-la-recuperacion-del-pib/">El Financiero</a>).</p><blockquote><p><em>BlackPaper Comment:</em> The <strong>Fed</strong>&#8216;s tailwind doesn&#8217;t reach Banxico. With <strong>core</strong> inflation stuck near <strong>4%</strong> and the peso under the <strong>USMCA</strong> premium, cutting to push growth would be relief paid for dearly later. Mexico is left without the <strong>monetary</strong> lever just when it needs it most.</p></blockquote><h3><em><strong>Breves</strong></em></h3><ul><li><p><strong>The jobs numbers.</strong> The US added just <strong>57,000</strong> payrolls in June, half the <strong>113,000</strong> expected, and revised May down to <strong>129,000</strong>.
