There Are Some Who Are Scared By

I Do Not Want To Be Cynical, But If Developing Nations Are Kept Backward By Being Told, Again And Again, You Belong To The Poor And You Are There, Where You Actually Belong, Then Nothing Will Change.

There Are Some Who Are Scared By Unity And By Building A Country On The Basis Of Ideas.

The Efficiency Of A President At The Beginning Of His Term Depends On Their Capacity To Get Everything Under Control. That Was My Case. But Once The Institutions Have Been Put In Place, And The Responsibilities Delegated, The Leader Becomes A Reference, A Referee, A Symbol And Unifying Figure For The Nation. The Issue Is How And When To Recognize The Moment When Staying In Power Becomes Counterproductive.

Let No One Think That Flexibility And A Predisposition To Compromise Is A Sign Of Weakness Or A Sell-out.

A Strong Leader Is Not Necessarily A Bad Leader.
