Con el liderazgo de Mexico hemos podido ver progresos en una amplia gama de retos que son vitales para prosperar: la seguridad alimentaria, el crecimiento economico verde, el combate al cambio climatico, la educacion financiera… Todo esto se dio en gran parte por el liderazgo del Presidente Calderon. Barack Obama. Reunion del G20 en Los Cabos, BCS, 2012.

Gobernar es decidir.
No es ni remotamente algo simple. En las decisiones que se toman como
Presidente de la Republica lo que esta en juego es el rumbo de la nacion y
las condiciones de vida de decenas de millones de personas. Asi comienza este
recorrido en el que Felipe Calderon reflexiona sobre la compleja tarea de
gobernar y lo que significa tomar decisiones en escenarios de incertidumbre,
decisiones que, a fin de cuentas, nadie mas quiere tomar.

Al enfrentar este
reto, dice el autor, es inevitable relatar las circunstancias, las vivencias,
las ideas que rodean cada hecho. Asi, a partir de una concepcion muy
particular de la politica, como vocacion y deber, Felipe Calderon presenta
una vision de conjunto de las decisiones mas dificiles que ha tomado en su
trayectoria, como espectador privilegiado de la transicion democratica
primero y despues como protagonista en momentos fundamentales del pasado
reciente, en particular como Presidente de Mexico.

En un recuento critico en
el que intercala anecdotas personales y episodios ineditos hasta hoy, aborda
sin cortapisas los temas mas delicados de su administracion, desde las
elecciones en las que resulto ganador, pasando por la extincion de Luz y
Fuerza, la crisis economica o la pandemia de la influenza, hasta la
estrategia de seguridad implementada por su gobierno, lo cual permite al
lector entrever las razones detras de sucesos cruciales que configuraron el
presente del pais. Con plena conciencia de que en las decisiones
presidenciales es imprescindible la capacidad de preguntarse que es lo
correcto, la firmeza de caracter para actuar y la disposicion de enmendar los
errores que inevitablemente llegan a cometerse, Felipe Calderon finaliza la
travesia con una carta dirigida a Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, donde expone
puntualmente su vision de la actualidad y los desafios por venir.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

With Mexico’s leadership we have been able to see progress on a wide range of challenges that are vital to prosperity: food security, green economic growth, the fight against climate change, financial education… All of this occurred largely due to the leadership of President Calderon. Barack Obama. G20 meeting in Los Cabos, BCS, 2012.

To govern is to decide. It’s not in the least bit simple. In the decisions that are made as President of the Republic, what is at stake is the course of the nation and the living conditions of tens of millions of people. Thus begins this journey in which Felipe Calderon reflects on the complex task of governing and what it means to make decisions in scenarios of uncertainty, decisions that, ultimately, nobody else wants to make.

When facing this challenge, says the author, inevitably one must describe the circumstances, the experiences, the ideas that surround each event. Thus, based on a very precise conception of politics, as a vocation and a duty, Felipe Calderon presents an overview of the most difficult decisions he has made in his career, as a privileged spectator of the democratic transition first, and then as the protagonist in fundamental moments of the recent past, particularly as President of Mexico.

In this critical account in which he intersperses personal anecdotes and unpublished episodes to date, he tackles without difficulty the most delicate issues of his administration, from winning the election, to the extinction of Luz y Fuerza, the economic crisis or the influenza pandemic, up to the security strategy implemented by his government, thus allowing the reader to glimpse the details behind crucial events that shaped the country’s present. With full awareness that in presidential decisions one must have the ability to ask oneself what is right, the firmness of character to act, and the disposition to amend the mistakes that inevitably come to be committed, Felipe Calderon ends the journey with a letter addressed to Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, where he sets forth his vision of current events and the challenges to come.
