About the author
Enrique Krauze
Summary
«Krauze se ha distinguido por sus intervenciones a favor de la democracia y el debate para mejorar la vida pública de México. Ha sido un estadista ciudadano, con ánimo valiente frente al poder y la incomprensión.» —Gabriel Zaid
Para Enrique Krauze, la crítica al poder es un compromiso de larga data que se conecta con la aspiración de que logremos pasar de una presidencia imperial a una institucional. Al final, estas páginas vislumbran la posibilidad de reconstruir la concordia perdida en México, cuyo camino está en la convergencia entre los partidos de oposición y una valiente y activa sociedad civil.
«El cúmulo de cortaduras y pinceladas con gue Krauze analiza la situación política mexicana debería ser una fuente de inspiración para todos, a la izguierda o a la derecha, sin que se le exija a él gue adopte las identidades gue otros deben asumir. Como liberal, su tarea ha sido la de mantenerse independiente y lúcido, sin otro compromiso que el de la luz de su inteligencia.» —Roger Bartra
«La fórmula gue ha prescrito Enrique Krauze, ya esa me atengo, y por ello, lo felicito, porque la ha practicado y suscitado, es debatir, debatir, debatir.» —Miguel Angel Granados Chapa
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Krauze has distinguished himself through his interventions, favoring democracy and debate to improve public life in Mexico. He has been a civic statesman with a courageous spirit in the face of power and incomprehension.” -Gabriel Zaid.
To Enrique Krauze, critiquing power is a long-lasting commitment, linked to the aspiration of shifting from an imperial presidency to an institutional one. In the end, these pages are a glimpse of the possibility of rebuilding Mexico’s lost concord, a path between opposite parties and a brave and active civil society.
“The heap of cuts and brushes with which Krauze analyzes the Mexican political scene should be a source of inspiration to all, both left and right wings, without demanding he himself adopts the identities others should assume. As a liberal, his task has been to remain independent and clear-headed, without any other commitment than that of the light of his brilliance.” -Roger Bartra.
“Enrique Krauze’s formula is the one I stand by, and I congratulate him, since he has practiced and elicited it: debating, debating, debating.” -Miguel Ángel Granados Chapa.
