Hi Jorge, I'm very sad about your departure from the ML, but unlike you, I think the ML scored a big victory last Saturday.

You know about my commitment to the principles, you know I'm a 100% libertarian, and yet the ideologues voted against me when I ran for a candidacy last Saturday. Did you see Raul, the "father" of the ideologues, celebrating how Marta Angulo won the nomination, a woman who can barely spell libertarianism?

Being a libertarian means more than simply reading Ayn Rand. You have to live according to those principles. I was threathen by Raúl (the ideologue) for not supporting the candidacy of his girlfriend. So much for libertariansm. Instead, Otto supported the candidacy of people who oppenly opposed his candidates.

Jorge, it was all about who controls the party, and principles had little to do with it. We are a political party, not a cult. I'm very confident that in those issues where the elected candidates might vote against liberty, there'll be a party line that will always favor our ideas.

The ML is well and alive. People committed to the libertarian principles are still within the party and looking forward to the next elections. I'm really sorry about your decision, but I'm confident that what happened last Saturday was in the best interest of liberty in my country.
