OPINION: Change but no change

What has changed with the new appointments announced yesterday by the President? On the one hand, it strengthened partisan operators in its work team. The appointments of two vice ministers as heads of their respective portfolios and the daughter of a party patriarch continue to clearly reflect the internal divisiveness of the PRD.

On the other hand, it leaves a taste of more of the same, rather than a tiller turn. The replacement of Turner – the most respected minister, but whose departure was inevitable after the fiasco of the call for a meeting of her party at a local restaurant – with her deputy minister emphasizes the continuity of health policies and strategy of the Government against the pandemic.

But, above all, the most questioned ministers remained in their portfolios. It remains to be seen which side the new team members will fold to.

 Time will allow evaluating the management of the new ministers, but everything seems to indicate that the more things change, the more they remain the same. LA PRENSA, June 25
