Apart from changes in the government, institutions need stability that creates certainty and security. It is logical and understandable that a new administration with proven personnel is coming, which freely appoints its close associates, its ministers of state, although care must be taken not to fall into the gross mistakes of the outgoing president, who comes from the same private sector. .

In the case of other institutions, FF. AA. and the National Police, are exposed to political interference, influence and the search for sponsors to reach leading and commanding positions. For this reason, it is important to respect not only hierarchies and trajectories, but also to avoid weakening the leadership by leaving too many officers.

It is a bad experience of the government from 16 years ago, which dismissed dozens of high-ranking officials, many of whom are respected professionals, and left behind those who bowed their heads and played into the hands of the authoritarian model, although not all of them were. He overthrew the principles of discipline in hierarchical and pyramidal institutions, which weakened their structures and tried to disrupt social security systems.

Everything in order to try to impose the failed revolutionary model of Venezuela, where the slogan “Homeland, socialism or death” was implemented in the barracks, which interrupted their professional training to transform them into defenders of a dictatorship that eliminated freedoms and violated human and individual rights. That is why these institutions are in ruins, discredited, and members and bosses are connected to the drug trade.

In the midst of a crisis of insecurity, the fight against organized crime and high levels of violence, the country urgently needs some FF. AA. and a professional national police force, with strong leadership, to face this difficult moment we are living through. The new president has the constitutional authority to appoint commanders, chiefs and commanders, but he must do so without influence or cronyism so that they fulfill their missions of defending sovereignty and territorial integrity, internal security and protecting citizens.

The selection is made on the basis of a narrow circle of top officials and they must last for two years, although the government will be for a year and a half. This is the power of the president, but he must consider its implications, after reviewing professional careers and the situation in institutions. Even more so when there are forces that have failed in their missions such as the protection of territorial integrity and the prevention and fight against drug trafficking with radars (the case of Montecristi) that have been destroyed and whose responsible are free, knowing that in a hierarchical institution the commander is responsible..

FF. AA. and the police is a debtor to the state, the people, it is not included in the current political project and is obliged to protect the rights, freedoms and guarantees of citizens. Otherwise, they need reinforcement and the delivery of larger funds and materials. Even when treasury funds are scarce, it is a necessary and urgent investment in security. (OR)
