After the collective chuchaqui of the presidential debate has passed, turned into an enormous soponcio for some, we are ready for the arrival of the 15th, which is already looming at the door.

Despite the bad omens for the demonstrated ability of the presidential candidates in the “Television contest on fundamental issues”, according to Simón Pachan in his article “Memorandum Democracy”, in which the debate about his better or worse ability to answer For each question, is no less true that quite often in history the position makes the person. And once they occupy the position they sought, they grow as leaders and human beings. And we all hope for that, for the sake of the country whose leadership the chosen one is called to hold.

Some realities should be clear. He will rule for a little more than a year, between knowing the position and preparing for future elections. And in that year, he must help this country stand on its feet, give it the pride to be what it is called to be, and lay the foundations for building a just and safe society.

There are unavoidable emergencies and huge tasks that you won’t be able to do alone. As much as they say I will rule, what we know is not real, you will need a team that has experience. Therefore, it is essential to choose your group of collaborators well, which is invited to be the only one during your term, as far as possible due to weather conditions.

Therefore, you must choose well, not because of privileges and retribution for services, but because of proven ability: those who will be your hands, feet, eyes, problem solvers, negotiators, communicators, advisers, knowledgeable about the priorities of the ministries that will be at your disposal. . And they will suddenly become the toughest constructive critics, and not sycophants who keep the president in glass isolation, who should make the final decisions that create a clear picture and direction of the state’s movement.

You need people with pragmatic and creative skills who can respectfully but clearly tell you when you are wrong and when you need to correct it.

It’s not about a popularity contest, it’s about getting this country back on its feet together.

We need a president who is able to listen. Learning on the fly, adapting and accelerating to the urgent problems you will have. The violence, the insecurity, the devastation that El Niño can cause.

For this reason and because we are not voting for just one person but for the Government we want or aspire to, it would be appropriate to know the team with which everyone would govern, if elected. Just as it is important to know your state program, it is important to know who you would implement it with, as this would provide guidance on how to do this, an unanswered question that is crucial.

Knowing who would be in charge gives clues as to how they intend to do it. Because talking is easy, making promises is even easier. But how to do it, with how many and with what resources and in what time it is essential that you start the journey, having a goal that you strive to achieve.

And they must also tell us what sacrifices we will have to make to achieve the good of society, which is more important than any individual in isolation. It’s not about a popularity contest, it’s about getting this country back on its feet together. (OR)
