PROMISES, LIES, DAMN LIES, IN THE CAMPAIGN ELECTIONS!!!

PROMISES, LIES, DAMN LIES, IN THE CAMPAIGN ELECTIONS!!!
They promise that they will solve problems that will correct inequalities that will banish hunger, malnutrition and poverty. They promise to cut taxes, open more schools, improve salaries, build hospitals, roads, dams and "first world" infrastructure. They swear that they will be indefatigable, that there will be no despotism, authoritarianism, sectarianism or privileges for friends or family. Tears are torn for the country, for the republic, for the laws and for "good manners" and blah, blah, blah. All that mounted on the no legal structure that forces them to render accounts for every lie uttered and every premeditated fallacy. "By the deceit they have dominated us more than by force" - F. Abad
