Cambell's Cheesy Chicken And Rice
raised in 1988 to "reach a democratic system seems not possible except through a political crisis that broke up the knots authoritarian. " The weakness of the pro-democracy actors and especially the uneven development of the multiple cores corporate authoritarian lead to a second prediction: "would you rather play a" second "political crisis, this time reinforced authoritarianism , which most likely would be installed as the first political crisis resulting from the original. " ( The claim democratic Siglo XXI Ed.)
I think we're headed to a second transition from the special arrangements I have called "Ottoman" parasitic rentier regime and leading to an authoritarian metastases. Given the climate of instability, large swaths of society seem inclined to trade freedoms in exchange for guaranteeing their security and stability. Therefore, this second transition can be a transition back and restore authoritarian centralization. There are actors interested and willing social base to support such a regression.
can also be a progressive transition, ie a transition to expand and consolidate freedom and security. The basis for a progressive transition is in the tissue of a set of political agreements between different actors. Put another way presidential elections , 2012 can not be conceived in key elections and plebiscites as have been raised in both 2000 and 2006. The budget that electoral competition entered the three main actors in both elections was that they would win a majority to govern. Hence the dichotomies in a case democracy / authoritarianism and the other stability / instability in the shape of "danger to Mexico." What we have had divided government has been paralyzed by a series of vetoes.
What both the PAN, the PRI and the PRD have avoided is the alternative. If you can not govern with a majority own, how to govern from a governing coalition? Ie how to govern the social and political pluralism and not against it. The central issue in any future political strategy can no longer afford.
To the left party and social starting point for thinking about a governing coalition with rivals and antagonists, it must be what your own profile. By profile I mean what the left offers a fragmented public, overwhelmed by the uncertainties in employment, health, safety and away from the partisan quarrels.
The profile is constructed from the discourse and has at least three components: which way to propose, by what means we intend to achieve and what we commit ethical foundation against citizens. The course is an image, a dream, a utopia. The media is the proposed program. The ethical foundation is a commitment measured not only in conduct notarial records in ways of doing politics.
The left must be assumed as a left values. With the classical values \u200b\u200bof the modern Left: freedom, justice, respect for diversity, promoting competition and solidarity. But with a central value: the empowerment of individuals, communities and associations. That is against any form of patronage.
The left must commit maximum publicity to their actions and accountability to citizens from their organizations, from government, from the representative bodies.
The left must be committed to good manners in public debate that is summarized in a proposal put forward by Octavio Paz: a profound revolution in Mexico would change the words had forked no respect for that of others.
