The Inspirational Story of Cezar Alves: The Boy that Dreams
Like most Mexican babies, Cezar Alves was born in a hospital. It was a normal birth - no halos, no bright light, and definitely no looming voice declaring this young boy's fate. Yet this was the boy who would become president.
As a child he was a sickly child, often sidelined by his asthma. But because of his asthma, he spent most of his time reading and studying - using diplomatic methods to gain influence rather than exploiting athletic prowess like the other little boys.
His parents were strong PAN supporters. With one of Alves's cousin's cat, Morris, actually running for a seat in the government, Alves's career started very early with him helping spread propaganda around his small town. When he was 18, after years of doing odd jobs around his local office, he went off to the National Autonomous University of Mexico to get his first degree.
College was a changing point in his life because it was in college where Alves met and made connections with individuals from various backgrounds. These people eventually became presidents of major businesses and reputable law firms; and because of his connections with them, Alves was offered numerous internship opportunities — which gave him a medium to experience the real working life.
After he graduated from college, Alves joined the PAN and started from the bottom, eventually rising to the sub-secretary of Interior, allowing him to forge connections not only with PAN members but with influential businessmen as well. He ran for a seat in the Chamber of Deputies, won it, and served the full 6 years. Afterwards, he ran for the governorship of the state of Mexico, barely edging out his rivals.
After ending his term as a deputy, Alves was a nominee for the PAN party for the presidential election. By December 1st, he was announced as the last standing candidate and became the sole candidate with all of the PAN's backing. And in 2018, due to his cousin's cat splitting the votes of the PRI, Alves won the Mexican presidential election by a relative landslide, his 40% double that of his closest rival. The PAN challenged the outcome, claiming that Morris the Cat intentionally split the PAN vote. The case was thrown out once it was noted that the Cat had no platform whatsoever. And lo and behold the new president of Mexico: Cezar Alves.
