Every ruler cannot aspire to establish a scheme of progress in a country without change, where equality, access to public and basic services, respect for human rights and others, are present in it, but we must not forget that this aspiration must be determined and adjusted to social reality.
If there is something that is killing our president, it is utopia, and I would even consider a bit of folklorism, with which he announces some themes. While it is true that their execution would be wonderful, it is also true that you have to work with what exists and improve it if necessary. I understand your desire to make the country prosper but you cannot govern only with the desire of your heart. It is true that you have to put heart into the art of governing, but we must accept what we have and what we are right now.
With respect to the Guajira peninsula, he has already “tacado burro” several times, using the term as descache, I believe that, as in billiards, he has failed to hit the ball properly or if he has hit it he has done so incorrectly. wrong way. Therefore, a respectful suggestion to avoid making clumsy mistakes again would be to concentrate or tune in better, as required by the circumstances of the moment. You cannot try to show a non-existent reality or even worse try to create one in a utopian way, obviously denying what exists.
On the occasion of the arrival of a luxury yacht for the first time, where some foreigners set foot at Cabo de la Vela in the imposing Guajiro landscape and were amazed, the President once again announced the initiative to build an airport or an airstrip of international, as has been stated, that allows La Guajira to be interconnected with the rest of the world, as it had already been done in the middle of last year, turning said area into a tourist hub and power worldwide, enriching for the communities and the country. , a question that although it sounds fantastic is far from reality, therefore, first we must start at the beginning without any redundancy.
Let’s not put on makeup without bathing, let’s not doll ourselves up because perhaps we won’t go to that party and we must at least ask ourselves where the water would come from first to be used to set the works, or even to quench the thirst of the workers before the real problem of absence of the vital liquid that the department of La Guajira has always experienced? Or how is the issue of the construction of the more than 300 kilometers of community roads and road network also announced to improve the connectivity of the areas of Pucheo, Nazaret, Puerto Estrella, Guachuguari, Uribia, La Unión and Puerto López? Or how are the interventions also announced at the Almirante Padilla airport in Riohacha going on the land side and on the air side?
Mr. President, I am one of those who share your concerns and often applaud your decisions, but you are on the verge of allowing yourself to be enveloped by a utopian dream, based on the idea that human beings belong to and deserve a better world that was lost in the past. remote. Do not allow our true reality to lift your feet from the land that you so long to see converted into the power of life. Do not resort to lies, modified truths and unfulfillable promises, as other leaders have done, I sincerely ask you.
I believe that governing with the heart in these times is inadequate and inconvenient, no matter how many better things we wish for our people, the impossibility of achieving them causes everything to turn against them and the frustration of those who do not reflect on reality but about dreams and hopes, become more evident every day.
Perhaps it is worth listening to those healthy words from those around you or those that come from further away from your environment, that what they aim without a doubt is the construction of a good country, that although it is not perfect, is a world power of life. as he well proclaims before others, because, in the same way, it is worth remembering that human beings are as much one brother as the other. They are twins, the obverse and the reverse of the same reality.
