A president
2019-02-03
[ELUNIVERSAL] In mid-2013, beginning the previous presidential period, predictions and jokes were popularized, which concurred in anticipating that Nicolás Maduro's term as President would be brief. By then, even at the recommendation of members of the Cabinet, the need to introduce changes and adopt policies that showed their clear relevance, such as moving towards a market economy with pre-eminence of the performance of individuals, had become evident. to put an end to pretended social programs that are resolved in a feast -corrupted and corrupt- of money distribution. Associated or not with his tenure in office, the fact is that those changes were not made: the bureaucracy of the government - that multiplies and produces absolutely irrelevant procedures and rites - has grown enormously; the economy was not liberated or privatized; and the distribution of money and material goods has been multiplied exponentially without any consideration or, in any case, with a very nominal and insignificant one. None of the primary and essential services that the State is called to provide (security, health and education) work; and in the period half of the economy we had was lost and we reached hyperinflation.

The government bears an inefficient bureaucratic burden, all the state companies are in ruins and in economic bankruptcy, including the state oil company, PDVSA; and an already large portion of the population has become totally unproductive, even going so far as to have the sole activity of queuing or fulfilling the rites that legitimize it to receive payments and official gifts. That is the current country, in crisis, socially and economically unviable - that's why people are leaving us; and that crisis has led to the political crisis we are experiencing.

President Maduro offers rectifications, but - unfortunately, if you will - it is no longer about that, it is not he who can preside over them, that opportunity precluded him in the last presidential exercise. He has the responsibility, as Head of State, to recognize the entity and demands of the political crisis and to process it by negotiating a constitutional solution for the interruption of the period and the convocation of elections.
