The state and its functions were invented to serve, to enable coexistence, to exercise a legitimate monopoly of force and to reasonably regulate the interests of the people. The state is an instrument. This is not the end and politics must follow that line. But power and politics became the goals of groups, ambitious leaders and militant ideologies that were never voted on.

The transformation of the state into a “philanthropic ogre”, into a “little father” who rewards and punishes, and who defines the lives of citizens, explains the permanent blockade we suffer; explains the invention of innumerable tricks for discouraging initiatives and refusing to legislate as circumstances dictate; explains the absence of norms that enable judgment based on common sense and the principles of justice, speed and responsibility.

The not-yet-established republic suffers a permanent blockade of any suggestion that does not come from the core of the government. Blocking political reform initiatives that do not have the blessing of those privy to the secrets that secure the locks of dominance. A blockade that is the result of cynically turning citizens into an electoral mass, which serves only to “legitimize” an inoperative system that denies rights every day. A blockade that builds all kinds of trenches to ensure the survival of members of this sui generis “nomenclature” of the privileged, the powerful without responsibility, which thrives among the ruins of the Rule of Law, which was never anything more than an illusion.

Twenty constitutions and 200 years of the failed Republic; leaders who believe that legality is their tailored suit; choices that are the lot of fortune or doom; civil society without prominence; elites who deny and hide; a principle of authority that is asserted and ridiculed. And confusion that is like the air we breathe every day. Fear that is the pulse of the country without direction.

Twenty constitutions and 200 years of the failed Republic; leaders who believe that legality is their tailored suit…

On the eve of the installation of the National Assembly, and before the inauguration of the new regime, pacts, blockades and tactics aimed at achieving the goals proposed by political groups, leaders obsessed with the desire for power and the inevitable pressure groups are already being announced. I have not heard a single proposal that announces the national agreements essential to get out of the crisis. No one talks about the state. The names of characters that express only party interests hardly go beyond. I don’t see any gesture of grandeur. There is no sign of an intention to confront the drama that accompanies society.

Any ideas on security issues, the idea of ​​legal reform that protects civil society, that restores trust? Any clues that allude to the new order of work? Are there legislative goals aimed at restoring peace?

I may be wrong, but I haven’t heard anything. And nothingness is now a huge void for the earth. And that’s another way of emphasizing despondency. (OR)
