Luis Arce and the fear of facing the public | Luis Arce y el miedo a dar la cara

By El Dia:

Luis Arce does not want to face the public. His decision not to attend the transfer of power to president-elect Rodrigo Paz is not a mere protocol gesture — it is a silent confession. He knows he will not be met with applause, but with boos; not recognition, but reproach. Perhaps he is ashamed of the country he leaves behind — an impoverished, divided, and directionless nation, where official lies were the only state policy. For years, Arce hid behind massaged statistics and endless speeches about an economic model that stopped working long ago. Today, without the shield of propaganda, he prefers to be absent rather than face the truth: a collapsing state and a population tired of empty promises. Saying that “it is not necessary” to attend the handover is, in reality, admitting that he has nothing left to say. No speech can hide the crisis, nor can any statistics cover up the failure. Arce flees from the mirror of power because he knows that, in looking at it, he will only see the reflection of his own disaster.
