After tomorrow | Critical

The title of my reflections today is not about dates, but about the reality we will face at the end of this administration. That morning will not necessarily be July 1, 2019. It will be later. When everything started

During my campaign, I tried to think deeply about the country and what I thought was essential to start from scratch, not to sink into failure. The issues I mentioned were linked to profound changes in what we know today as a system. I have spoken alone Clientelism has triumphed, which will triumph the following year under another name. I say this because I have never heard, to this day, anything that convinces me that those who aspire really want to change to begin with. If we see donors, we understand the strength to insist on the "status quo".

It is natural for me to receive information from all parties, motivated by all kinds of ideas. The one that prevails is to try to win by the same triumph, although nothing allows then to know what to do with power. Varela demonstrated at a very high cost what that meant. Names of side and side of post names, some have campaigned to distribute what is not yet, as if the country was at the stage of pooling instead of a serious step to contribute.

What happened this week with the visit of the secretary of Estado Pompeo warns that the relationship with the United States It took a different turn. Venezuela and Nicaragua were not the main course, although perhaps complementary, in which little would contribute. In both countries, the evil will be understood as the change to which they will be subjected. Narco and irregular migration are recurrent. The question here is China and its entry into Panama and the region. This factor will be carefully observed for two reasons: corruption and security. Both things will mean that the new administration should take a broad and coherent approach to these two issues if it wants the party to be at peace. China is here to stay and your arrival begins. Its impact is always imperceptible. As a country, we have not discussed the issue, although a free trade agreement is being tested, and I hope that more and better consultations will take place. The Chinese do not see their future in five-year periods.

The week's precedents in tax matters were another alarm bell. Solve social problems that no one says do not attend by raising certain taxes. As the formula for "channel money" was impossible, now repeat specific taxes as if the thing remained there. Varela must veto this nonsense, repeated by an badembly that does not think of anything else to win in May so as not to pay the prison later. And to say that the one we choose in May will be essentially the same, especially in terms of quality. Final complex stretch that comes to us. An agony of a few, wanting to run, but it concerns us all, we hope to continue here.

The morning I am referring to begins in May, when on Monday the 6th we get up with a new government. Has Varela been completely understood? What will happen will it be new or will it be about the same because of the fear of facing the profound changes that the country requires, but that the "establishment" refuses to cope because it affects "favorable climate for investment"? I've already written a few weeks ago about this, concluding that none of the aspirants would dare to deal with this mbad of critical influence that yearns for change so that nothing changes. . For this reason, when he reads his statements of problems, as proposals, they roam the branches, wandering in ambiguity and fear, showing little background and a lot of noise.

A wise saying says that "if we do not know where we are going, how will we know if we have arrived". I feel that it is the morning of my reflections. The power factors believe themselves convinced of their realities and on the periphery, the manzanillos of the system applaud and justify. The decision of May, at least for me, is crucial, transcendent and I take great care to consult it. The quinquennium, which will be for some an essay, for others, on the lookout, could be the beginning after the failure. Venezuela and Nicaragua must therefore be laboratories obliged to find the exits to locks that we have placed at our doors.

At the graduation of my son at Incae on Friday, his rector, Enrique Bolaños, said in his speech, about his experience in his native Nicaragua, that he "was not there. no prosperity in a failing state, "successes and failures in decision-making in countries. Great contribution to the reflection of the rector.
