A detailed vision of the powers and miseries of Mexican politics. It is the year 2020, in a Mexico without telecommunications or computers because the United States (owner and exclusive supplier of everything) has punished them. This is also the year in which the presidency is being disputed, in other words, it will be decided who will seat in the Seat of Power to never leave it. The winner, the Anointed one, hides an amazing secret that he must conceal at all costs.

Description in Spanish: El Presidente Lorenzo Ter�n, un hombre bueno pero ab�lico. Su intrigante jefe de Gabinete, T�cito de la Canal. Su calculador secretario de Gobernaci�n, Bernal Herrera. Mondrag�n von Bertrab, el severo secretario de la Defensa, portador de un terrible secreto. El jefe de la polic�a, C�cero Arruza, que no tiene enemigos porque los ha matado a todos. Y domin�ndolo todo, Mar�a del Rosario Galv�n, operadora pol�tica y sexual suprema que un d�a le dice a su joven amante, Nicol�s Valdivia: �T� ser�s presidente de M�xico.�

�Te ponen en el pecho la banda tricolor, te sientas en la Silla del �guila y �v�monos! Es como si te hubieras subido a la monta�a rusa, te sueltan... y haces una mueca que se vuelve tu m�scara... la Silla del �guila, es nada m�s y nada menos que un asiento en la monta�a rusa que llamamos La Rep�blica Mexicana.�
