Malena is a mother of 5 children who cannot make ends meet with healthy eating or covering the basic needs of her family. Andrea, in addition to poverty, is now hit by her son’s serious illness and their depression. They don’t have to pay for medicines and help is the light that helps them get through the days. Ángela barely earns Bs 700 for taking care of a child part time. What is said to those families, beings of flesh, blood and feelings that live in Bolivia and who do not know where the economic recovery that the Government proclaims is? The stories are in the El Deber edition of Sunday, May 22. They are realities, not speeches. These are hard facts that need a pilot who knows where the ship of the national economy is heading.
The Uagrm community said no to re-election in this house of higher education. Without intending it, a path is being marked out so that the ‘dinosaur’ leaders and teachers (turned for decades into academic authorities) who only accumulate power, but who do not make a significant contribution to society, end. In the midst of so much cynicism with leaders like Max Mendoza (52 years old and three decades without going beyond the second year of his career) in the Bolivian university system, there are lights of hope that come out of the Uagrm. It must be made clear that there are many ‘Max Mendozas’ and that the problem is not one of isolated people, but of an entire system that must be cleaned up urgently. Congratulations University of Moreno!
