Panama: the urgency to choose wisely for a better future

These periods left a lasting impression on the country, emphasizing the importance of electing competent and responsible leaders. Now, more than ever, with Panama on the brink, at a crossroads and at a point of no return, we cannot afford to risk making a mistake and elect another bad, ineffective government in a row, but we must be careful. and responsible in our decisions.

Experience has clearly shown us, with such bad and discouraging governments, that we cannot choose our leaders by leaving to chance the part they will play in making decisions affecting the nation. The need for a competent Government is more obvious than ever, and in this context, why risk it again when we have the opportunity to elect someone who has already held office and demonstrated the ability to manage?

On the other hand, it is important to recognize that no government is perfect. While it is true that any administration can make mistakes and face challenges, it is also crucial to emphasize that some governments have demonstrated a remarkable ability to address the needs of the country and promote the welfare of their citizens. Panama has had leaders in the past who have achieved significant progress in key areas such as the economy, education and infrastructure.

Choosing a leader who has already demonstrated his effectiveness does not mean that we ignore his mistakes. On the contrary, it means that, aware of his mistakes from the past, we will be more vigilant and attentive so that we don’t give him that second chance to make an even better government in vain.
