Citizens should move past electoral competition to hold elected officials accountable
Aleteia reports that following the conclusion of the recent elections, citizens should move past the competitive spirit of the campaign to monitor the performance of elected officials. The report notes that during the campaign, many individuals behaved like sports fans rather than citizens seeking the common good, often resulting in arguments among friends and family.
The report states that candidates focused on mutual accusations rather than presenting specific proposals. Now that the election period has ended, citizens must fulfill their responsibility to follow the actions of the president, governors, and deputies over the next four to eight years.
