Between
Enrique Peñalosa and Samuel Moreno ...
the devil must choose!!!
I know that the title of this article can sound like a joke but believe me, IT IS NOT A JOKE! Maybe, you have been reading this phrase in some places like internet pages or internet friends groups (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=18983591408), maybe not. Maybe, you think like me, maybe not. The only things that I know is that: You want to know my point of view, for this reason you are reading this article RIGHT NOW!!!
Nowadays, Samuel Moreno and Enrique Peñalosa have been promised crazy things; Samuel Moreno promise a new Football Soccer Stadium and a Subway for Bogota whereas Enrique Peñalosa promise a economic help to Transmilenio in order to develop public transport and, at the same time, leave the management of public schools to private schools, for instance, Saint Viator School would fix some problems of a public school. You probably are saying “what is wrong with that?” Let me explain that in the following paragraphs.
What is wrong with the Samuel Moreno’s Promises?
Samuel Moreno has promised a lot of things like stadium and subway but Where is the money for those things? I remember particular cases: In 1997, Enrique Peñalosa promised a subway and tried to find resources in order to keep his word but he couldn’t. In nowadays, we have Transmilenio.
Now, he pretends build Subway and Stadium; it is a popular promised with one goal, VOTES!!
What is wrong with the Enrique Peñalosa’s Promises?
Enrique Peñalosa has promised economic help to Transmilenio in order to develop public transport and leave management of public schools to private schools. These promises have two problems:
Public Education Problem: Do you really think that a private school will give to public schools nice facilities and quality education? If they will do that, the students of private schools could search education in those schools because it is less expensive, do you understand?
Transmilenio Problem: It has a big problem, corruption and bad negotiation with people related to that. The Government has to re-negotiate the earnings with his partners (Peñalosa is one of those, war of interests!!)
In conclusion, Between Enrique Peñalosa and Samuel Moreno ... the devil must choose!!!

Actually, Mockus already did that, about schools, you know? And it worked great! We're not talking about expensive chairs, multimedia facilities, or anything like that; it's about education and content in the courses. It worked great because teacher actually had to be responsible for results and had to prove why they were there, instead of "fighting" the system and planning strikes. They also did that with parks. Each "Caja de Compensación Familiar", like Cafam, Colsubsidio or Comfenalco, would be responsible for the administration of a park to assure its proper use and maintenance. A lot of private companies do that also with advertising purposes. I think it works because everybody benefits from it. The city has better parks, they're more secure, we have a lot of events and the private and public sector win.
