But if it does not participate, then it will have to put its rhythms and time into the building of a tactical program that will defend against the onslaught of the neo-liberal program. It has the challenge and need, however, to construct a new strategic program, that will be the kind of country we desire. The most important aspect of that new force is not in its debating whether or not to participate in elections, but rather in preparing itself to establish a new kind of relationship with the government that is elected, whomever it may be. The wealth of this movement is in its political plurality and the collectivity with which it has been working. This allows for the possibility of weaving a new kind of relationship among the different sectors of civil society, from which are emerging new values that give body and form to the new society.
Collective work breaks with caudillismo, and it coordinates common interests.
Another challenge is establishing a plan of action where all social forces are joined, so that they can change the country's political climate. It is necessary to stop responding with short-term actions, and to organize strategic plans that will break the war strategy. It is necessary to understand different work styles, the limits and abilities of each person's participation. It is necessary to recognize the efforts, however large or small they might be. This movement must maintain fluidity in its different currents of thought.
