Religion has become an instrument to reconquer voters' faith, merging with populism to sanctify politics and transform the relationship between citizens and leaders.
Open Government, as the form of governance that seeks to deepen the role of citizens participating in public decision-making is known, is an alternative to the chronic threat to democracies.
The growing support in several countries for populist leaders may be worrying. However, it is plausible to think that it is a response consistent with the basic beliefs of societies affected by a process of growing economic inequality and social exclusion.
The magnetism of populists is based on a profound delusion, as they build support from the poorest sectors when their leaders are extreme neoliberals who have no interest in improving the situation of these sectors.
In the so-called "biggest election in history" that will take place on June 2, there is a player in the shadows who is acting openly. And it is likely to become more visible as the election campaign progresses.
