In
politics it´s a very costly mistake to be perceived as having lost control of a
serious situation. This is particularly true in the developed countries. They
have the resources, the rules and the institutions to respond to major
challenges. Then, when the response seems chaotic and directionless, the loss
of credibility is enormous. The institutional approaches are then replaced by
the reactions on the streets and the emotions on the small TV screens. And all
that ends up by generating major problems that societies will have to confront
sooner or later.
Therefore,
when control is lost the most urgent action that is required is to regain the
initiative.
