I don’t follow it too closely but enough that I’m not be overly impressed, but willing to guardedly entertain a careful outlook of positive possibility.
He’s done a couple things well particularly in reducing extreme/poverty, improving the domestic production of basic staples (sadly at the cost of the environment), and basic health care and internet access. Beyond that however, there doesn’t seem to be much – which isn’t surprising seeing as the former is what kept him in office. I don’t believe he’s improved access or resources to education nearly enough (though he’s increased spending) and his attempt at curriculum meddling was intolerable. The food supply hasn’t been stabilized and the price ceilings for staples don’t seem to be tied well to a much needed (and at least from my vantage, inapparent) greater strategy. He’s made progress on crime but only after rates exploded, freedom of the press appears to be in name only, and concern over environmental, pollution, and effective sanitation seems non existent. His foreign policies seem to work well enough but appear based on securing power rather than the type of developmental relations necessary to make oil a sector rather than a dependency and improve opportunities and access for the people. He certainly doesn’t appear to be making headway against bloat in state run concerns, rather the contrary.
In general, like most politicians, he looks content to appease enough people to secure his power base but after that ignores rather than shepherds the efforts necessary to result in real, lasting, self-sustained change.
