Last Wednesday evening, the Guayaquil Charity Board formalized the delivery to Barcelona SC of the property documents where the Monumental Banco Pichincha Stadium, the training ground and the player concentration building are located. The ceremony included former political rivals Abdalá Bucaram Ortiz, the former president, and Jaime Nebot, the former mayor of Guayaquil, both former presidents of the team. The clapping of shoulders with which they greeted each other, at the request of those present, went around social networks.
Football has achieved the unthinkable, two political enemies together at an event for a team of their own choosing. The kindness that was evident was widely commented on, and there were those who described the greeting as a ‘historic hug’.
It is not a matter of political reconciliation, but a protocol approach at the request of the fans, explained Abdalá Bucaram. It is also an act of maturity of two representative politicians.
Sport has shown that Ecuador is capable of uniting. With no flags other than the tricolor, the World Cup qualifiers took place, as well as Olympic medals for Jefferson Pérez, Richard Carapaza, Neisi Dajomes and Tamara Salazar. This union is necessary for the country to move forward.
The maturity of shaking hands and reaching an agreement for the benefit of Ecuador would be appreciated. What happened at the Barcelona event should not be seen as an anecdote, but as a sign that politicians can meet publicly, hopefully to offer solutions, regardless of who is in power. The historical moment demands it.

The mayor of Guayaquil, Aquiles Alvarez, who was a close witness to the Bucaram-Nebot greeting, called for “some kind of truce” after election Sunday between parties and movements, social actors and activists, in order to achieve manageability. The call is timely, no matter who wins on October 15, leaders cannot remain deaf and indolent in the face of a crisis that requires joint solutions. (OR)
