According to a Jesuit Philosopher, the Guatemalan Evangelical politicians are not well-prepared to govern. He thinks that \u2018They lack critical and analytical sense to face the Latin American reality using slogans of neo-liberalism and the capitalist conservatism\u2019 (IO3). Freston emphasizes this fact when affirming that Bianchi frames his political vision within a North American scheme and his party adheres to three basic premises of the Christian right-wing: The idealization of the history of the United States, the reduction of the state and the negation of the explanation of third world poverty in geopolitical and structural terms (2004: 134). In the 2007 elections Bianchi made an unexpected move with regard to ideological affiliation. He supported the candidacy of Alvaro Colom, a centre-left politician who won the elections from General Otto P\u00E9rez of a right-wing party.\u000AFernando Leal of the IVF notes that Christians must assume politics as a part of the Christian life. For him \u2018the bible contains the principles of how to govern a nation\u2019 and for that reason the Christians must get involved in politics (L1IVF). When questioned about what he would do if called to govern the country, he indicated that he would like to push for a vision of \u2018a nation that had security, justice, abundance and opportunities for all and excellent international relations\u2019. Alongside this vision he indicated a series of steps which need to be taken to get his political objectives which include global tendencies such as the eradication of poverty, respect of human rights, the freedom of the market and the protection of environment.126 His exposition, like those of other Neo-Pentecostal politicians, shows certain influences of some authors like Gary North (1987) who promote the application of the laws of the Old Testament as the basis to govern the nations.\u000AOscar Recinos of the FCG former candidate for Mayor of Guatemala City\u000Arepresenting the CGV (Committee of Neighbourhood Guardian)] party emphasized that\u000Apolitics is an imperative for Christians. With a certain sense of triumphalism he said, \u2018if\u000Awe the saints will be called to govern and to judge even the angels, how much more should\u000Awe not judge and govern something as simple as the things of this earth\u2019.
