What the papers say: A call for tolerance

La Prensa : Hoy por hoy April 17: The constant attacks from public servants on unions and civil society organizations reveal the authoritarian nature of government as a whole. It is regrettable and very worrying when lack of tolerance for criticism, alternative views, and lead to governmental discrediting of organizations or people whose only intent – as promised by this administration – is to change attitudes to build a better country.

How can anyone oppose it? Recall that the works of man are full of imperfections. Reporting these errors is precisely what makes us rectify them. But for the officials who govern us, criticism is simply intolerable. That stubbornness and arrogance of power has very little acceptance in our society. And they should not forget that the elections gave control of the country to this government, but it was not a blank check. This country belongs to everyone, not someone’s private farm. Tolerance is the foundation of democracy. Start to respect it.!
