Wow, what a great responsibility! And it is that having all the power to make decisions and enact laws that can affect, for better or for worse, the lives of millions of people, is reckless and weighs heavily on the backs.

In baseball slang, the use of the expression "tribune managers" is very common, and refers to those fans who shout out to give orders to the managers of their favorite team about the strategies they should follow, which players must go out onto the field of play or which must be substituted for their poor performance, in order to guarantee the triumph of their team over the rival.

Although the previous expression belongs to the world of baseball, it can be perfectly applied to fans of soccer and other collective sports, but it could also be extended to other areas of human endeavor, such as politics.

In a few months, the United States of America will hold presidential elections, where the electorate of that country will decide who will occupy the Oval Office of the White House for the next four years, and where the wealthy businessman with lush blond hair, Donald Trump, accused of mismanagement in handling the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic, is at stake for his stay in power against his rival from the Democratic Party, Joe Biden, who in turn, he has been accused of acts contrary to morality and of being the representative of dark interests that seek to impose a New World Order, in a close electoral contest where the unfortunate murder of African-American George Floyd opened old wounds that they believed themselves outdated, not only in North American society, but also in Europe and other countries.

For this reason my dear reader, if you had the opportunity to be the president or prime minister of your country, what measures would you take?.

In my particular case, being the President of the Republic of Venezuela, even if only for a short period of 24 hours, would mean helping to change, to some extent, the living conditions of my family, friends, neighbors and of the last Venezuelan who lives in the most remote place of the national geography.

Unfortunately, my country has been in the news in recent years and not precisely for the best reasons: with the closure of three-fifths of the companies that existed at the end of the last century, which has meant the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs. work, added to the highest inflation in recent history; around five million people have decided to try their luck outside the national borders, seeking a better quality of life, to the point that today there are Venezuelans living in some 80 countries of the world, in practically all continents, with the exception of course is, from Antarctica.

It is difficult to think that in just one day decisions can be made that can change a reality that has been in the making for 20 years, however, it is a starting point, after all, a long road is traveled taking one step at a time.

If I were to assume the presidency, my first decision would be to call in the people best prepared and knowledgeable about the national problems, to advise me adequately in making decisions that contribute to improving in the shortest possible time, the great calamities that the country is going through.

Secondly, it would seek agreements with world banks and multilateral organizations, such as the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank and the International Monetary Fund, for the granting of flexible credits that make it possible to alleviate the humanitarian crisis through from imports, and then local production, of food, medicine, machinery and all those implements that a nation requires for its development.

Third, it would free political prisoners, also called "prisoners of conscience," to later convene a government of national unity whose objective is to achieve collective well-being. In this sense, recently some progress was made when a group of political leaders and activists were released through pardon, however, there are still people who continue to be deprived of their freedom for thinking differently.

Probably, just one day in office is not enough to make all the decisions and pass all the laws that my country needs to return to the path of well-being and progress, but to reach the goal, it is necessary to take the first step. in the right direction.
