The results of the regional elections, the popular, spontaneous and repetitive dissent, in the stadiums and other public settings, have influenced the consideration of the reform projects in Congress and seem to announce that the feared “ides of March” are looming in the horizon for the governance of a government without a compass, but insistent in its quarrelsome disposition.
If we add to this the continuous growth of kidnappings, massacres, extortion and riots, within the framework of an improvised peace policy that has translated into the distressing loss of territorial control in large regions of the country, favored by the demoralization of the Public Force and with ceasefires that end up subjugating the defenseless communities, it is forced to conclude that it will not be with verbal excesses towards its critics and institutions such as the government that will recover the lost trust.
Uncertainty begins to haunt the offices of the Nariño palace, after Cesar Gaviria’s letter and the growing defections of congressmen from the Green Alliance moving towards independence, in the face of a government that is increasingly erratic and insistent on actions that do nothing They contribute to overcoming the difficulties that accumulate. The Ombudsman calls for effective efforts to protect fundamental rights that are not satisfied with cosmetic changes, such as the dismissal of Danilo Rueda or the resisted change of the Mindefensa, because it has not been understood that the need for Military Forces and a Strong and active police constitute an essential element for real peace.
There is no awareness in the government that the aggressive speeches of the president and his ministers and the reform projects and announced decrees affect investment and confidence, which decrease at the accelerated pace generated by their ill-advised initiatives. As an example, the proposal to end the Fiscal Rule to understand the unrest of the productive sector and the insecurity rates that accompany the main agents of our economy. In August, the Dane reported a drop in annual investment of 24% and negative variations in commerce, industry and agriculture, which accentuated until reaching a GDP decrease of -0.3% in November.
In Petro we must distinguish between his verbal excesses, when he attacks, and his truths when he reveals his thoughts and his purposes, which was not taken into account by former President Gaviria in Florence, when Petro told him that Colombia’s problems were due to the changes of Gaviria after the Constitution of 1991 and let him know that his idea was to return to the norms prior to the Constitution and especially those that were in effect before the adoption of Law 100 of 1993. The former president forgot that a forewarned soldier did not He dies in war, and today Petro fulfills his Florentine expressions. It will be in vain to try to convince him, and it will not be the shameful congressmen favored with perks who will do it, but the citizen mobilization that will be able to contain him. Let us exercise without fear the legitimate rights that democracy confers on us.
