The 10 of January were established officially as the day of the taking of presidential possession, in tribute to the memory of doctor Pedro Joaquin Chamorro Cardinal (PJCh), the Martyr of the Public Liberties and Director Martyr of the PRESS, to that they assassinated the 10 of January of 1978 to prevent that it continued fighting by the freedom, the democracy and a new way - decent and responsible to govern in Nicaragua.

In fact, doctor Pedro Joaquin Chamorro Cardinal was the exemplary politician who had the moral formation, amplitude of sights and appropriate professional preparation that is required to govern the country correctly. Unfortunately for Nicaragua, by the lack of freedom of the town to choose to his governors doctor Chamorro Cardinal he did not have the opportunity to exert the public power in benefit of the town, to which he consecrated his existence and by which until gave his life.

The ideas of doctor Chamorro Cardinal about how the country is due to govern, were progressive, honest, clear and precise. He repudiaba the caudillismo that has governed almost always the country, condemning it to the misfortune. On the matter Cardinal said to doctor Chamorro who “the President cannot be the referee of all the problems, the one that takes part when there are numerous inheritances in lawsuit, to fix to the parts; the one that verifies unfinished marriages; the one that removes and puts people of the jail; the one that gives free passages, telephones or kilowatts; the one that feels in its table to eat to the politicians for “fixing the country…” That is to say, the caudillo.

According to doctor Chamorro Cardinal the governor is - or must be “an administrator to whom pays itself to him so that he administers; a public prosecutor who watches the goods of a community, absolutely other people's to its property; an employee which, it jeopardize to employ its by a wage, cannot perceive, neither indirectly speaking, the more goods that the derivatives of the exercise of its position through a wage. The government is not a gangue”.

For doctor Chamorro Cardinal the government had almost exclusively to be “an instrument directed main and to the benefit of poorest, while there are poor men”. But in their ideal social justice and the fight against the poverty had to go of the hand with the strict respect to the individual freedom of the person.

Certainly, doctor Chamorro Cardinal did not admit that to govern in favor of the poor men it was necessary to sacrifice the dignity and the individual freedom, “to oppose the human nature, to turn to the man a slave” of the totalitarian State. For that reason he raised that “the Government must be an authentic product of the town, and also of the influence of the industralist who is forced to participate in the public thing, because indeed must direct an important part of its management to the production of the communal property”.

He is opportune to now remember these ideas of doctor Chamorro Cardinal - that can be read in the book the Mother country of Pedro-, that when commemorating itself the twenty ninth anniversary of its murder, is carried out the taking possession of a new governor who in his proclamations declares indeed that she wants to eradicate the poverty.

By the way which this same person who today assumes the position of President of the Republic, already governed previously with that same flag of fight against the poverty. Nevertheless, which made the time previous was to increase the number of poor men in Nicaragua and, in addition, to sacrifice the individual freedom of the people before the repressive power of a police and militarista State.

Now this President will not have the pretexts that he had in the Eighties to attempt against the individual freedom, to deny the democracy and to sink for all time to the Nicaraguans in the worse situation of poverty. So that this time has the obligation to fulfill its promises and to govern with responsibility, with respect to the freedom and the rights of all the Nicaraguans, not only of its those in favor.

We want that Daniel Ortega is successful with his new government, because its failure would mean - another time the ruin of all the town of Nicaragua. And to be now a better governor, president Ortega would have to learn of the lessons of doctor Pedro Joaquin Chamorro Cardinal. Hopefully that thus is.
