Election Day

Normally, if you ask me about the next elections, my answer should be: I can´t wait for this moment! But, in reality I don't want that moment to arrive, because, I still don’t know by which candidate I will vote for the next Sunday. In fact, I still don´t know who are the candidates that compete to be CORE (Consejeros Regionales).

The previous, doesn’t mean that I'm not interested in the matter, on the contraire, I'm very worried about the results, because, I think that none of the candidates have a strong program, one that give solution to the different problems of our society. So, I don't feel represented by some of the candidates.

Nowadays, the electoral campaign is, in general, divided between the politicians that have kept the power in the government and the independent politicians or those that represent new ideas, but don’t have the support necessary to become the future winner. In other side, some of the candidates to president only have dedicated to fight between then.

In this line, every person that to run for a public position has to be oriented to the public service. This person must have a profound public vocation. Also, the person must be a charismatic leader. When I think in this person, I remember Allende. Nevertheless, I never had wanted to become a politician, because I feel that I wasn’t born for it. Although, even though in my career, Public Administration, exists the mention Political Science, my professional profile is oriented to the Public Management. I know that I have public vocation, but I would like to apply it through public politicies, because my profile is more technical than political.

Finally, in my district, Puente Alto, people don´t believe in the electoral campaigns. My neighbors are bored of the promises of campaigns, and almost don't think in the vote as the way to change the problems of the citizens.
