Politics and money walk hand in hand for a long time. However, the ultimate end of this story is not always positive, in fact is right on the opposite side.
Politician is described as a person who acts in a manipulative and devious way. On its own, that does not appear to be a plus for the society. Influence is a characteristic, which leaders have. Nonetheless, manipulation is a side of influence that politics use, which is characterized by unscrupulous control of a situation or a person. Politics perceive manipulation as a tool for raising capital on private or group matter. From here without spending too much time in describing a politician there is an association with money.
Leaders have been elected for centuries and millenniums by the rest of the population in a territory. Nowadays, this is happening in countries, each one more significant and more powerful then others. Moreover, those leaders are locally, nationally or globally elected and every single one of them has the power to change circumstances. “With great power comes great responsibility” are the words of Socrates, a philosopher of Ancient Greece. That opens another topic for discussion, however this will be for another time.
Recently, in Bulgaria, there were elections for local mayors and counselors, as well as president’s elections. As the author is Bulgarian and has already the experience in latest elections, has much to say, but less to write (due to certain circumstances). Nevertheless, sharing knowledge with society is the path to infinity as argued by Dalai Lama, Tibetians leader.
At these local elections, politicians if I may say, as more often this word is filled with negativism and dirt all over, has turned to be dramatic and surprisingly shocking. A previous mayor of a small prosperous city has done much but nothing but making himself rich and powerful, has also brought the anger of the citizens on his head. Nevertheless, last weekend elections showed that people have still voted for this manipulative leader, positioning in danger the future of the city and its inhabitants. Researchers found that through dirty money spent for buying votes and dust in people’s eyes by promising unachievable dreams, this candidate is endangering with his selfishness everyone around him.
Nevertheless, the elections came to an end with a hope of another choice, another candidate, known by many but unknown for the city’s demands. However this gives confidence that anew start is around the corner. It gives stronger hope that politician is actually not a bad word but also a successful leader in a society full of corruption.
This weekend elections will share the hope of a new future or dawn of another 4 years, whoever will be chosen. With this the author finishes its first part of: P+M=C (Politics+Money=Corruption)
