From a silent observer of the work and actions of his administration, the President of the Republic has suddenly decided to turn into a provocative defender of the theory that attack is the best form of defense.
Therefore, instead of the President taking responsibility for the chaotic situation in the fields of Health, Education and Safety, the President has transformed doctors, teachers, trade unionists into scapegoats of the government’s failures.
The President, instead of acting to solve problems and rounding on his Ministers, who with their actions have caused the chaos, has added fuel to the fire.
Mister President,
Instead of stating that your patience will be exhausted at some point, wouldn’t it be better to ask yourself, how much patience do citizens still have after six years of broken pledges and antisocial policies?
The least you are duty bound do under the circumstances as a responsible leader is to face up to your responsibilities by defusing the crises and seeking solutions consent.
