One hopes that whoever becomes president will decide not to abuse the TV and radio networks as she currently does ad nauseum and that she consigns herself to Santa Cruz never to reappear, except maybe in a court of law.
One also hopes that this all pervading air of uncertainty will slowly lift.
I talk to business owners around me and they tell me that business is too slow and it's the same old same old: 'We're waiting for the elections' they say. Last time it was the primaries and before that the vultures and before that? I can't remember.
Perhaps I'm living in hope, but having to crawl to the government to buy some measly foreign currency that everywhere else people totally take for granted, to declare yourself an importer and sign your life away just to receive a gift in the post from your family, to not be included in the club of open markets and order stuff online and not consider it an act of terrorism and to pay inordinate amounts of tax when using a local credit card overseas, not to mention flights.
To hope at least that one could expect prices to not go up every month and that the peso you have in your pocket may have some intrinsic value, someday, one day.
