Another symbolic defeat for someone trying to build a legitimacy they don't have. Because the position she holds today wasn't won at the polls, it was handed to her from Palacio Nacional.
A Court under ideological siege
This attempt to register a nickname is another chapter in the Obradorist strategy to co-opt the Judiciary. Batres embodies the crudest version: creating a populist narrative, repeating "pueblo" and shielding it as a registered trademark.
But this time it didn't work.
Not even the trademark system wanted to partake in the simulation game.
The minister doesn't want to serve the people, she wants to use them as a shield
Turning a nickname into a registered trademark is not closeness, it's propaganda with a legal label. It's trying to make the "good people" a symbolic capital... and sell it as if it were the exclusive property of a regime official.
Meanwhile, the Judiciary continues to be eroded from within. Because for the 4T, it's not enough to manage the budget; they also want to take over words, symbols, and titles.
But in this attempt, the "people" said no... and the law did too. Because even if it makes Morena uncomfortable, neither the people nor justice are registered as trademarks, nor are they distributed as the regime's property.
