La desaprobación del Gobierno mexicano. Más que ineficiencia

Abstract

This paper puts to test the hypothesis that Mexican citizens are dissatisfied with its government because it has not fulfilled expectations, mainly in regard to economy and security, since political discontent with Mexican government has become a problem for democracy in this country. Using data from the Latinobarómetro, it was found that those with worse opinions of economy and security are actually those who held the worse opinion of the government. However, this relationship did not appear when real economic and security data were considered instead of the perception of these, so qualitative interviews were conducted, and it was found that citizens have a moral expectation of their officials that seems to determine their opinions and expectations. This moral demand doesn't appear to be related to pragmatic government performance.

El posible apoyo racional al presidente mexicano y su partido

“…Además, hay estudios más viejos que sugieren que la relación entre el desempeño gubernamental percibido y el apoyo al gobierno no implica un actor racional. En 2018, Gutiérrez Sánchez (2018) analizó qué determina la evaluación del gobierno mexicano, encontrando que "la evaluación del Gobierno sí se relaciona con la percepción sobre temas de seguridad y economía, pero no con resultados reales sobre economía y seguridad" (Gutiérrez, 2018). La explicación más racional asumiría que la evaluación del gobierno sería sensible al desempeño real del Estado y la situación objetiva del país.…”
