SEC-S17 /W2| "What if you were the president of your country?"

I find myself, quite unexpectedly, serving as the president of my country. I must preface this by saying I am not a leader. I have always been described as accommodating, a term I had to look up to understand precisely what others meant. This is certainly not a quality typically associated with a president. The truth is, I lack the capacity to impose my will, and I do not feel inclined to command; power makes me uncomfortable. The idea that people might fear me for my actions or decisions agitates me and makes me anxious.

I live peacefully in my well-maintained garden, keeping away those who want to spoil my flowers. Politicians, in my view, are merely opportunists seeking personal gain. They are not welcome in my blessed garden. I have dealt with politicians who seek power only for personal interests, without caring for the well-being of their constituents. Corruption to gain votes and favor personal interests is, unfortunately, a widespread practice in my country.

My garden is democratic, the plants, flowers, and animal life within it live in symbiosis; each is fundamental to the other, and for this reason, it works. I would not allow any mole to enter and destroy this natural balance. The responsibility to maintain this balance is crucial for my happiness, which is why I devote so much to my garden. I could not allow any link to break as it would compromise the entire system. To eliminate moles, I have surrounded my garden with electric wires that reach extreme depths to keep these damned moles away, and I assure you, there is no alternative. It was not easy to implement this electrified network; to do so, I formed alliances with gardeners for whom their garden is as vital a source as it is for me.

I do not believe I am suited to be a good president; my own allies would oust me after just a few months. Being the president of a country requires compromising in too many uncomfortable situations. However, if I were to outline a vision for my mandate, I would start with reforming education. It is unacceptable to maintain with public funds a category of teachers who no longer have a say in how to evolve the culture of our children, oppressed by the will of blind parents under a guise of protectionism that makes their children weak and prey to the spreading obscurantism. The Dawn of the Oscurists: The Rebirth of Ignorance.

This would be my first reform, to set a new direction for future generations. I would then dedicate myself to the internal resources of our beautiful country. There is a great dispersion of energy that does not fully exploit our economic potential. This could significantly contribute to reducing our public debt.
