The two-day convention, which brings together far-right leaders from around the world in Mexico, kicked off Friday with a counter-demonstration by a handful of anti-capitalists who chanted — “because struggle is joy” — and chanted their slogans in front of the Westin hotel overnight. in Mexico Mexico and ended at the same roundabout with a parade of large trucks from which people disembarked in costume for the donor dinner, at a cost of 5,000 pesos (about $250) per head. In between, 10 hours of non-stop conferences by leaders and activists convened by the Political Conference of Conservative Action (CPAC). Tall, short, fat and thin, blond and dark, there was no pattern, except that most were white and had above-average fertility: the traditional family and the more children, the better the repeated slogans.
In the morning, Polish Nobel laureate Lech Walesa called Fidel Castro to assure the audience that his speech would be much shorter. In the evening, Eduardo Bolsonaro – son of then Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro – ended the day with the same words. Bolsonaro was showered with applause, but he did not surpass the protagonists, God and the Virgin of Guadalupe, who were much quoted and more applauded. The Congress had a distinctly Catholic tone, there were Christian publishers and lawyers, posts calling for the sanctification of priests, associations that helped pregnant women and protected them from abortion, virgins as mobile phone screens, a booth for the works of Anacleto González Flores. .. Mission is the title of one of his books. And what is this mission? The man at the stand explains: “Education, because women have the gift of tenderness, beauty and love”. And not the man? “Yes, of course, but the man excels in strength and intelligence.”
This meeting was designed to expose the evils of the left and what the far right can do to overcome its comrades only on the right and seize power in several governments. And contributors, along with other ultraconservatives of the world, included former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, ultraconservative Chilean politician José Antonio Kast, former US ambassador to Mexico Christopher Landau, and Republican US senator Ted Cruz, who later on Saturday Argentine leader expected and will be. right-wing politician Javier Milei. Spaniard Juan Ángel Soto pointed to an advantage for this company: “We have such superior values, we defend the good and the beautiful, there is nothing better, we have to get married and have children. There’s nothing better.” He was greeted at a summit that many described as a “historic moment.”
Another thing some speakers agreed on is the illegitimacy of governments. On left-wing governments: Lula’s victory in Brazil is illegal; the Spanish government is illegitimate, the US elections are illegitimate. Electronic voting is the main culprit for this. Eduardo Bolsonaro, the big star of the day, already said: “I can say yes, because they elected me by electronic vote”.

A star, a star was also Eduardo Verastegui, former actor and now president of CPAC Mexico, who is passionately committed to the fight against the trafficking of boys and girls for sexual exploitation and ultimately the sale of organs. Verastegui was greeted with a classic cry: “President, President.” Bolsonaro Jr. also stated “Here is the future president of Mexico who is not only smart but also handsome”. In other words, husband and wife gifts. But Verastegui still does not have a political party, although he repeated that it is time to think about it, to leave the “orphanage” in which the real right wing in Mexico resides. Said that.
Verastegui himself, who is also president of Viva Mexico, was the one who invited the Servants of the Word, Missionary Sisters, and 13 of them signed up. They share a creed: gospel and freedom, “because freedom of religion is under attack in Mexico,” said Yesslia Hernández Pérez. And what does that mean? “Well, for example, there are initiatives that ban births.” But how is that supposed to work if President López Obrador is very religious and constantly invokes Christ and the Virgin of Guadalupe? “I don’t see anything religious in it, it’s just a way of using religion, a political strategy. This mixes the feelings of religiously sensitive Mexicans,” Sister Mónica Ortiz Cid supported under her black mask. The nuns of the word also feel orphaned as leaders: “Well, Margarita Zavala, wife of Calderón, she promotes values of religious freedom,” says Sor Hernández Pérez.
Leaders, say the ultra-conservatives who form this convention. But the box, which read “Mexican Leaders,” was empty for half a day. Then they set up a table and two chairs. Two men sat there and left behind their work clothes, a television camera and other supplies. Are you Mexican guides? “No, no, but we’d like to be,” they joked.
Participants in the large conference feel haunted by the laws and policies of left-wing governments and helpless with little protection from the right as they seize power. They do not see that their Christian values are taken into account. They also complain about being accused of being racist, xenophobic, homophobic, classist and fascist. Bolsonaro quipped: “Okay, but people don’t want to pay taxes, do they?” Well, there’s the thing, he came to say. Democrats, he also wondered. Who are the Democrats after being banned from social media? “How many of you are blocked on social networks?” asked one of the speakers on the platform. And several hands waved in the air.
A recurring theme was the chaos that the extreme right finds in the human body: men who call themselves women or vice versa, who go to school with a fixed gender and return home smoothly, who “found families with two dogs and four kittens”, who ” marry a plant”. All in the new vineyard of the Lord. Miklos Lukacs, a specialist in philosophy and bioethics, offered a whole catalog of these new experiences in which “man plays God”. And with photos. “This isn’t a penis anymore, this is a vagina that has lost moisture, this penis isn’t good for anything anymore,” she said, wringing her hands disturbingly. “Others mutilate their ears, mutilate their noses, there is no respect for bodily integrity anymore”, in this drift of humanity towards “hedonic utilitarianism”.
The anti-capitalists of the morning had a different philosophy: “The fight is the joy”.
