Un ensayo donde convergen de manera magistral el periodismo, la historiografía y el análisis político para explicar los orígenes de la corrupción en México, así como su largo trayecto como razón de ser y práctica cotidiana de la vida pública.

Juan Antonio Cepeda parte de la convicción de que el combate a la corrupción puede ser una política pública real, sin simulaciones; de que podemos aspirar a un Estado de derecho donde la rendición de cuentas forme parte estructural de nuestras instituciones. Sin embargo, dice, el gatopardismo es el obstáculo más urgente de derribar.

Mientras el ejercicio del poder utilice la noción de cambio como una mera simulación, mientras todo cambie para que no cambie nada, el poder seguirá usufructuando a sus anchas de los recursos públicos para beneficio privado.

Desde la Colonia y las tropelías de Hernán Cortés, hasta nuestros muy aciagos días de casas blancas, estafas maestras, señores de las ligas y presidentes impresentables, nuestra cultura mestiza ha privilegiado el gatopardismo por encima de una transformación genuina, pero eso no significa que estemos condenados a padecerlo por siempre.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An essay in which journalism, historiography, and political analysis converge masterfully to explain the origins of corruption in Mexico, but also its long journey as cause and daily occurrence in public life.

Juan Cepeda begins with the conviction that combating corruption may be a real public policy, not a simulation; that we can aspire to live under a rule of law, where accountability acts as a structural part of our institutions. However, Cepeda says, the gatopardismo is the most pressing obstacle to topple. As long as the army of power uses the notion of change as a mere simulation, changing everything in order to change nothing, the government will continue to usufruct public resources to its leisure for private profit. From colonial times and Hernán Cortés' atrocities, to our darkest days of white houses, master scams, rubber-band scandals, and disgraceful presidents, our mixed-race culture has favored the gatopardismo above a genuine transformation, but it doesn't mean we are doomed to endure it forever.
