Editorial of the Razón de Estado program number  241

In March and April of each year, in the northern hemisphere, we receive spring, which coincides with Easter week and with the days when schools and colleges take a small break.

You may have noticed that in today's world, where politics, climate, the economy, technology, health, and personal relationships have us all in distress, we spend more time wondering how to find solutions to daily life problems; how to discover practical alternatives to progress in a world where populism, corruption, mediocrity, conflict, selfishness, misinformation, lies, repression, and violence increasingly dominate the lives of our countries.

If artificial intelligence brings answers and solutions to these dilemmas, then welcome it.

In the last electoral processes in Latin America, most people, although it's a failure, voted for populist left-wing options because it was the way citizens expressed their rejection and discontent with a world that they understand less every day.

People's expectations are higher than reality. Most politicians offer what they know they will not fulfill, and people vote for them even though they know they are lying.

Today's politics respond little, the absence of leadership is evident, and people can’t find ways to fix things.

Thus, we live in a dangerous world, full of contradictions, where volatility and uncertainty are the norm, where every day more and more, nobody believes in anyone, and it's everyone for themselves.

This is not a matter of optimism or pessimism. It is a matter of  facts. You only must look at the number of nations governed today by criminals and autocrats.

The opportunities and good news we desire, will come from our ability to learn to be free citizens and understand the era of change in which we are living. Evolving. Expanding the spirit and finding peace and joy through the storm will open up spaces of light and hope.

The challenge is to find truthful information, opportunities, and good advice in this complex chessboard that we are living in. Now, after the break, it is time to return to what should be our life mission: demanding integrity in politics, commanding economic rationality from governments, and committing ourselves to practicing more human decency.
