Values, Electorate and Candidates | Valores, Electorado y Candidatos

Oscar Antezana Malpartida, El Dia:

It would be unheard of that the MAS won the next presidential elections given the country’s breakdown. But could it be possible? With fraud, sure. Legitimally, I do not rule out. (By the way, what is known for sure the purification and update of the electoral roll?)

What arguments would the official party have to do to win the elections? The performance of the economy? The trust and strength in the judicial system? The success of the fight against drug trafficking? The defense of our access to the sea and our rights to Silala? The industrialization of the economy? Better health and education systems?

But none of that is a problem for the MAS. In addition to a possible fraud, the official candidate will have no other than lying, lying and we know that in that the socialists are experts. That has been doing for years and has worked for them. In addition, the mass electorate is composed of modern slaves – “modern slaves are not chained but uninformed, indoctrinated and manipulated” (the challenges of reason). But much of the population is also uninformed, it has lost the north and is malleable. How to make the population vote for a candidate who renews Bolivia of national decline, not only of the economy, which has the head institutions, that its population is “normalizing” lies and corruption, and that is desperate for the future of the country, their children and their grandchildren?

Currently, there is not much space to counteract the cynical vision of the situation of the country that the government has. It keeps the population little or poorly informed and the constant bombardment of lies and denial of corruption tend to become true in people’s minds. Nor is it known how much children and young people assimilate about civic education in their educational establishments or the class of values that the teachers instill in them. Moreover, the only thing that this young population has lived and heard was during the MAS government.

There is an immediate, effective and zero option monetary costs: the renewal of moral values through a campaign through the organized action of civil society. With what objective? How?

1. The objective is to counteract the daily maelstrom of cynicism, lies, corruption, mediocrity, and breach of the law that have been embedded in society in the last 18 years. What purpose? For the electorate to distinguish between the candidates who have no scruples, who are demagogues, and that they do not tell the truth, of those who proclaim freedom, honesty, effort, and solidarity. Bolivians want a president who embodies the best traditions of Bolivia, not hate, or lie, or division, or resentment.

For the success of this campaign, people have to be aligned with the objective and purpose. An example of success was the movement of the Pititas: everyone was against fraud. An example of failure was the movement in favor of updating the census: for some departments it was convenient and not for others. What unites us all Bolivians except those based on government and their spheres of influence? The values of a free and solidarity homeland. We favor freedom and not submission, the truth and not the lie, the commitment of the word and not the demagogy, the search for work and not of prebend, transparency and not corruption, a solid and independent judicial system and not a crashly manipulated one, but a facilitating government and not an obstructionist government, the opening of opportunities and not the useless bureaucratic process, loyalty to our history and culture and not the outrage of our dignity and sovereignty.

2. How is the population organized? The population is organized in a dispersed way, but is organized around private companies, universities, schools, media, agricultural, industrial and others, civic organizations, until reaching the family. It is necessary to agglutinate and align these various social organizations after the objective and purpose identified.

At the beginning, we need a leader who has the ability to summon the mentioned organizations and that is not identified with a political party so that the opposition does not distort the healthy objective and purpose in favor of Bolivia and its future. This person(s) has to be credible and reliable that protects the realization of an aseptic campaign but at the same time passionate. This campaign is not to favor any party or candidate at all.

3. What is the campaign about? Examples: that Coca Cola prints on the labels of its bottles the words: “comply with the law”, that the university letterheads read: “be supportive”, that the media (radio, television, written press) Spend 5 seconds in various programs to promote the value of “keep your word” or “be supportive”, that PedidosYa displays on the vests of its collaborators and on its transport boxes: “Bolivia first”, etc.

The key is that the values that are disseminated are those that all Bolivians have historically shared and that have been collapsing for years. They are not to spread political, economic or social positions, no matter how desirable they may be for many. For example: “take care of the aquifers.” Only in this way can the entire population be aligned. The values disseminated in this campaign would be present everywhere, every day, every minute, while we are eating, working, studying, walking, driving a vehicle, traveling, or watching a soccer game.

Let us free the Bolivians who love freedom but who have been co-opted for 18 years by prebends, corruption, easy money, and who have lost their direction and the hope of rebuilding a dignified, great and supportive Bolivia from modern slavery. May the vote of all Bolivians in the next elections be for that Bolivia.

This is an opportunity for all good and willing people to join efforts and multiply impact without any monetary cost; to expressly contribute to the resurgence of our homeland. Who signs up? Which leaders pick up the gauntlet.
