Colombia is a sui generis , every day repeating the same dramatic events and opinion polls and media support for the government and its management remains being solid, as it has been since the first term. This would be reasonable if each of these events were not serious enough for any government of any country that was fairly serious, went into crisis by the same situations.
During the past year the current government has faced numerous conflicts not only issues related to economic, social or work: the President legitimacy has been questioned for a crime of bribery in which they are involved two ministers, his closest advisers and where the highest court and ordered the recipient of the bribe , the brother of the Minister of Interior and Justice is in jail for involvement with narco-paramilitarism , the national army-makers at this point the war against the guerrillas is winning "in crisis murder of innocent out of combat ... the list, unfortunately, can be longer .
In a real democracy, these words are not exhaustive of events would be the perfect breeding ground for the birth or strengthen the thinking and mode of action that opposes the way of managing these small but constant crisis. However, only we find that the supposedly best prospects opposition politicians are not creating a political project solid, but are waiting for the current president ordered his fellow amend the constitution to prolong his mandate for 4 or more years, in which case their aspirations postponed until the "messiah" considers its mission fulfilled.
Sadly, political parties that once fought over harm than good management of the state, gave up their natural function of creating and imagining alternatives and propose new scenarios, to devote to fill their pockets with gifts distributed according to the executive their personal interests. While this is the case with the traditional politicians, the incipient "left" meets the "center" seeking, unsuccessfully, to unite an alternative model of government. Ultimately, it appears that l a policy is so bad that everyone who comes to the political scene is spread in a fratricidal struggle for power: the party of the country, the ministry, whatever. However, despite the loss of space of the traditional parties and waste an immature historic opposition, ordinary citizens believe the country and its troubles have bottomed still looking at the horizon fearlessly. ***
A month after writing the foregoing considerations, there is a horizon where Congress approved amid alicoramiento levels typical of a Christmas feast, whose only political reform progress is back as the punishment they deserve leaders who allied themselves with the narco in order to preserve their privileges, the same Congress votes from the left, choose a cave right-wing book burner "immoral" and that is a declared enemy of minorities due to their religious, sexual and political and late at night, to culminate the democratic feast, approve via referendum possibility of extending a presidential term that breaks the constitution the extent that destroy the balance powers and co-opted to whether the supervisory bodies.
However, we must not lose hope, because against this background, as one of many useless surveys, we are one of the happiest countries in the world. Http://lasmiradasperdidas.blogspot.com
