Adolfo Suárez ended badly, Felipe Gonzalez ended badly, Jose María Aznar ended badly. Now it's up to José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. It seems as if the English people, like Saturn devouring his children need, to those who previously promoted to be its most important representatives.
Although many were claimed later, no Prime Minister's recent history of English democracy has had a happy ending in his last term. All were reviled, insulted, disqualified. Changes of government not the opposition won, but that "lost" their owners.
partly because they had previously been subjected to a fierce smear campaign by his opponents and with the passive complicity of much of its supposed defenders. What's happening in our country so that we need to load consistently the reputation of anyone who directs the government? Why do we need to destroy, thunder, who holds the power in the name of all? Could and can be criticized, yes!, And pour the Government, mention it, but why so visceral and fury?
The first provisional answer to these questions is that we live in a country that has not lost its guerracivilista, you need to liquidate the enemy, even under democratic conditions. Maybe. But if we extend the look, then we realize that the same thing is happening in the U.S. with Obama in Germany with Merkel, Sarkozy in France, and will soon also in the UK with Cameron.
It's not something unique to our country. In all these places, but particularly in Spain, that does not mean that the leader of the opposition is in a better situation. If this wins Mariano Rajoy, will be the enthronement of the power of someone before exercise and is a living dead as far as regards public confidence, one whose merits are measured more by the previous demerit of the one who is called to replace that because we like the right person. But is there a right person?
Questions, questions. On with the questions. What's happening in the relationship between politicians and citizens to be making increasingly larger divorce one another? Because, make no mistake, this is the basic problem, the lack of trust between politicians and citizens. Do we have any answers for this great question that grips the Western liberal democracies? Who should be held responsible for what is happening, politicians or citizens? So we fade made possible answers.
In a democracy, citizens always right. That sentence are the changes of government and therefore are liable. However, it is obvious that all political leaders can not be doing it wrong and therefore there is a presumption against the policy and those who engage in it. What is the policy of our day that all who practice out scalded?
Too many questions to find a conclusive answer. There is not. But we urgently need if we are to avoid the logical corollary of the political smear, the new populist tide.
Perhaps the answer lies in the image of helplessness that projects politics in a time when we need leadership and urgent solutions.
Also in the absorption of politicians and in excess of ritual fighting between them. Unless ideas, more insults at lower ideology, the more antagonism. These seem to be the maximum.
But we must not lose sight of either the increasing disengagement and desresponsabilización of citizens with regard to the public. Individual citizens in private, which have been delegated to the political class of solution common problems as if they were not with them. Then complain, like spoiled children because they are not provided services and benefits to those who believe with the right natural.
his duty to commit the supplement for a single primary and party affiliation without qualification, which played from the side of the public, the very image of disunity that reported in politics.
The result is a political class facing each other and a citizenry at war with their representatives or submerged in indifference. A policy or policy agonistic trivialized.
Esta situación, the final, más que lo que nos causes such anger Melancolía. Melancolía por el de desvanecimiento a pulse Civic Verdadera y de una política más heroica.FERNANDO Vallespín
