Diagnosing the Left

After mentioning the failure to thrive of smaller parties like the PSD, Yuriria Sierra digs into the PRD:
That's not to mention the PRD, which lived its best moment when it handed Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas the mayoralty of the Mexican capital, because it was the culmination of years of earning credibility for its project, but they alone have blown it to smithereens. It has grown late on calls for its re-foundation, which have been heard for several years, because if this left can be known for anything it's been the radicalism that impedes them from seeing themselves in the mirror so as to realize exactly what errors they are committing, those deliriums that make them meditate when someone is clearly violating their statutes, because it seems that they are afraid and prefer to keep him in their ranks rather than starting a fight, perhaps because they still haven't won the internal battle that has them divided into various "leftist" currents that no one believes in and which made them lose votes on July 5.
