We have entered an election campaign in which the youth have once again been excluded. Young people with moral and professional integrity, despite their honesty, are not allowed to stand up, they are left out of the game by corrupt and functionally illiterate elders, to prove to us for all time that there is a lack of role models in this rotten system.
The greatest crisis we are experiencing today is not only economic, political or social. It is above all a crisis of trust, the most valuable currency of a society, without which neither politics, nor justice, nor institutions have democratic meaning.
Our societies emerged from systems where power did not belong to citizens, but to parties and clans. Democracy was brought about more as a form, not as a culture. Politics was not based on ethics and responsibility, but on the logic of rule and control.
We failed to build a healthy society, not with words, but by example. We voted for and mythologized public figures, without integrity and credibility of values, and this scenario was repeated generation after generation, bringing about a dangerous vacuum and the loss of any national moral reference.
Democracy lost its foundation, trust. From a difficult history, captured politics, corrupt justice, media sponsored by oligarchs, and a society that slowly surrendered to cynicism and indifference, while fleeing the country sowed a collective suspicion that kills any possibility and hope for change.
From this open social wound that we built as a society arises the most shameful question that today's youth can ask us as parents: "is it worth being honest?"
Lack of faith is not just a fleeting disappointment, but a silent poison. It has turned the youth into a body without blood, without a heart and without vision. Their departure is the most painful response that a country can take, in which one can survive in poverty, even in various crises, but not without faith.
And a country that loses its youth also loses its moral future.
We have entered an election campaign in which the youth have once again been excluded. Young people with moral and professional integrity, despite their honesty, are not allowed to stand up, they are left out of the game by corrupt and functionally illiterate elders, to prove to us for all time that there is a lack of role models in this rotten system.
But faith can be restored. One day, youth will understand that anger, pain, and disappointment were not in vain. They were the stones that forced us to build a new society, where faith will not be a luxury, but the alpha and omega with which a civilized society breathes.
The new generation does not have to accept the legacy of a corrupt political class. On the contrary, it must create models of resistance that fearlessly defend the dignity of the human person who does not trample on others to move forward.
The model of the future is not a name, a leader, a single figure. It is a generation that dares to believe that life only has meaning when lived with honor.
Hope is not always big and noisy. It can grow silently, in the hearts of people who do not give up, in the ideals for a more beautiful life. And you can find it in culture, where art and literature open new horizons of thought. In science and knowledge that no power can manipulate. In civic activism, where the courage for the truth is a heroic act and in the daily lives of ordinary people who prove that faith in man still exists.
Democracy without trust does not live. It is alive only when the citizen is alive within it.
