is very important to reach an agreement on the political project. Is not the same bet on the state totalitarianism (to which is the Government) or market totalitarianism (which is the dominant direction of globalization in crisis) to bet on the free market and equal opportunities under the supervision of society and the state and the positive choice to the bottom (which is the aspiration of the majority of Venezuelans).
is not the same prefer that the State meets all the needs of people who find that the State and private enterprise social sense to agree on creating skilled labor tends for all Venezuelans, the state effectively guaranteeing private property, qualifying to the population through education up to the time and stimulating employment, and business betting on expansion.
is crucial to know in what direction we want to go, what we want to bet which game we want to develop and what to discard and barren. All these things have to go clarifying each of the citizens and we have to discuss with us and fight because they go by.
However, this be so important and ultimately decisive, is that for we have to start today. As the starting point is the polarization, we can not expect agreement if we begin the dialogue around.
As dialogue is essential, as the overwhelming majority of Venezuelans want to talk, as both the government and the opposition have expressed their commitment to dialogue, we must determine the point where we begin.
Our thesis is that only the country we will agree. If we stay above or conquer the power shifting to the government, even if we argue over the ideology of each party, we will never no agreement and the country we will fall apart, as we are falling now. Not only that, the country will end up turning their backs on their political class, as did a century and as it is starting to do that today. Because the people do want dialogue. The town is seeing their true interests are being left behind despite all the juggling of the president and all claims of the opposition, you can turn our backs on each other, if not focus on their problems.
Productive work
What are the problems. The first, as we have said, is the work. What decent human being is not the government nor anyone else gives you things and will solve your life but have productive work that is done being useful to your fellow citizens and to provide means to take him his life. Today, the productive work in the country is less than 25% because 50% of workers are street vendors, perform a non-productive work in which poorly survive and most of those employed by the government remain so of downtime, plus 10 % unemployed. What else can revitalize the country is the increase of productive work in goods and services up to the world time. But we can not start there because there are no conditions to take that direction.
insecurity
We have to start with other needs. The most urgent of all is security. Few Venezuelans will, if any, that has no victims to mourn in their immediate surroundings. And most of those killed were young men in our neighborhoods. Both of them that the violence is the leading cause of death in this age group. The problem existed before Chávez arrived, but during his administration has worsened a lot.
But the problem is not just that we are all exposed to being killed, kidnapped or stolen, the real problem is that not doing anything strong to face the problem worse, that the State, as currently operates, promotes it because they involved the police, judges and prison system. But the most serious of all, the President, head of the country's security, he washes his hands because he knows that if his name is linked to this problem, will end its popularity because it senses that you can not solve. And it's more important is their popularity that endless procession of funerals. It would seem that he's only concerned that they kill him. The only problem facing with all the irons at the level of security is the assassination. And why almost all the dead are the people he claims to love and defend.
Why is the current state can not solve this problem? Because the configuration of state cross two conflicting objectives. The first target is that officials are adept at it and secondly to serve for the job. As depriving the first, as it gets to the staff to do what he does not prescribe the fee as such, often recruit followers and people can soon be done. But not only that. As they are retained in office by fidelity to the dictates of the executive, has to compromise his excesses. So if the police and judges and prison officials have to be Chavez supporters, as they are recruited to support the regime, you have to tolerate that do not fulfill their functions, including forming part of the problem of insecurity and violence, which would to address.
Because the government wants not only that officials adhere only to their functions, but instead seeks to control the apparatus of the state fund in the first place to the security forces, have to compromise on that provide assurance to the public and therefore will not discuss the problem, which passes through this bottleneck. Not always done this specifically. But this is the result.
produce fewer
The second problem is the production. It is notorious that has shrunk considerably and that each year gets more, so we depend increasingly on imports. But as oil money is not enough to cover them, each day more scarce things desirable and even necessary. As above, this problem had dragged on for more than a decade before Chávez took office, but also as above, in recent years has worsened sharply.
The cause of the problem is twofold. The first time is that many entrepreneurs, when they saw that they could earn more by investing abroad, sold and emigrated. The second, more current, has to do solely with the Government's policy that guarantees private property. Given the avalanche of expropriation, who is going to be so foolish as to dare to invest? In addition, the shortage of foreign exchange control and is very difficult to get supplies from abroad and the decline in production, the whole country. It is breaking the chain, if not broken already.
The government has been practicing expropriations of which has no accounts. What we are seeing is that most of what goes into their hands, produce less, and what it produces, it does about excessive costs as unfeasible. So never published production costs. Not increase productivity in the hands of bureaucrats who have secured a salary and even hindering serious work of people employed by their credentials in ministries and companies. To live up to what we need as a country is urgent not only to monitor and control the idle but also support small and medium landowners, working looking for personal fulfillment, your interest and for the satisfaction of contributing to society and even companies known for their efficiency and organization.
A good way
The path is that has taken the problem of housing, if done with sincerity and wisdom on both sides. The State has to see the problem facing the country, in this case the poor, the people and the middle class, and has to call the guild companies bidding transparent and not least by them draw up plans according to specific guidelines , in addition to carrying out by itself. The three pathways have to be transparent to see what the most appropriate to solve the problem. You have to deprive is the solution to the need and not ideology that dictates a priori what is right or not.
If this method is applied to each problem can be resolved and the country will drive forward steadily on a firm basis. If you care more about the ideology that the solution of problems, we will sink every day. We bet you love prevail particularly our fellow citizens, rather than the narcissistic cult ideologies absolutized Hallowed or private interests.
