Voters need cures not diagnosis

Voters are already aware of the country’s problems and need proposed solutions and not further diagnosis from the seven presidential candidates who emerged from a lackluster first debate without a clear winner says Panama’s Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture.

The debates are important of spaces for the candidates to explain how they will respond to the problems facing the country said in a bulletin issued on Sunday, February 24.

In the note, the business union says that the appearance of presidential candidates should not “remain in the simple diagnosis of the existing evils and deficiencies, “The voter is already aware of what needs to change. The candidate has to say what to do and how, “says the Chamber president Gabriel Barletta.

The debates are intended to encourage citizen participation in the exercise of suffrage and allow voters to “gather broad references” of those who want to lead the country in the next five years.

“More than waiting for the candidates to face each other’s tirades or spread guilt everywhere, the citizens aspire to find in these debates the statesperson who knows how to interpret their aspirations and can present viable, realistic and concrete formulas to achieve them,” said the Chamber.

The Chamber of Commerce and the Electoral Tribunal (TE) will organize the second presidential debate on April 10.
