Between Servility and Domesticity, and Honor and Dignity

We are seriously approaching the end of the year. And clouds are gathering over our Republic. It seems the equation is becoming increasingly insoluble. Leaders, men and women, do not know if they are facing history.

A 'golden opportunity' presents itself before them to write a page of history. Domesticity, internal quarrels/clan interests make them forget the meaning and scope of history.

More than ever, it is a moment for a resurgence, a transcendence of self to achieve a civic stance, a stance of statesmen and stateswomen. And the Nation, in its understanding majority, would give them the benefit of the doubt, would UNITE AROUND THEM to REDEEM HONOR.

Unfortunately, once again, the taste for power, dishonesty, domesticity, complicity with foreign entities, the grip of oligarchs, the lure of gain among individuals calling themselves statesmen and stateswomen, yet participating in the assassination of the State through their behavior.

One might wonder how they can contribute to a culture of honor, dignity, civic-mindedness, and defense of the collective interest to save the State.

It is astonishing to hear a presidential advisor boast and take pride in having the interests of the private sector in his DNA, from which he cannot separate himself, in contempt of the common good. It is this spectacle of bad taste that we are witnessing today.

Everyone must draw their own conclusion. One thing that is no less certain is that servility is never rewarded.
