The next polls will be in January, so until then we will have to wait and see. In any case, this can be remedied by reminding the population that the country has more damns. As far as everyone is concerned, only the Tavera damn has received attention from the media, and especially from the opposition parties; the latter attempting to politicize the situation to their favor. Of course, they were careful to not even mention what happened with the other damns; and yet they say that what happened with the Tavera damn is proof of the inability of the PLD to govern.
The country has eight damns and only one is mentioned by the opposition parties. Its as if the other seven damns don't even exist, but had any other damn encountered any problems, they too would be in the lips of the opposition who have no sound arguments against the Leonel administration.
This is politics as usual, desperate opposition parties that lack any real valid criticism of the current administration and thus, prefer to focus on short term shock and awe while attempting to block the sun with a finger or, should I say, keep the other damns that had no problems, out of people's attention.
Afterall, its pretty hard to say that what happened with the Tavera damn is a sign of the inability for the PLD to govern, when the other seven damns had ZERO problems!
