Not Everyone Thinks He Needs to Tone It Down

Joaquín López-Dóriga's take on Calderón's activity during the flu crisis is noticeably less critical than others: 

It was that Wednesday when Calderón assumed publicly, I insist, command of the emergency, aware that heads of government not only must be at the helm, they must make themselves felt or ask Miguel de la Madrid if you don't believe me. 

After that first message on radio and television and the presence in the middle of the night to receive the Chinese aid, then came the visits to the Naval Hospital and to INDRE, the meeting at Los Pinos with the Health Ministers, the presence of Margarita Zavala, the reunion with the governors and the new message this Monday; the position in response to discrimination, blockades and confinement abroad, the Zamora pork and the recovery of public spaces of the earliest days that today at a distance seem lost to memory.*

It's very early, we haven't escaped from the emergency, to be saying that he has done well or not; once again time and the judgment of society will grade him. 

But until then, I must accept that the statistics, the results and the polls support him. 

*No idea what he's talking about here, it seems like a non-sequitur foray into poetry, but you get the idea.
