We are not in any moment. Galloping inflation, the sum of several crises, the fatigue of more than two pandemic years… The extreme right advances through the wastelands of disillusionment. Each democratic fire is more wasteland, more ceded space. It matters little that Abascal was hesitant and cumbersome in Congress, with the “Pegasus case” he just has to open his hands and wait to collect the votes. Of the various errors in the intervention of Robles, the worst was linking the defense of the CNI with the ideology of the spied on. The Government must give a clear answer as to whether the surveillance was legal or not, that is the question. Because if a democratic party does not defend tooth and nail that The State must ensure the fulfillment of rights, If you don’t do democratic pedagogy in a moment of real threat, who will?
Fatigue and concern distance citizens from the abstraction of ideas and incline them to meeting daily needs. Democratic values at no time can remain as something superfluous, that can be subverted with arbitrary spirit. That only feeds the mantra of ‘everyone is equal’. Therefore, expendable. Also democracy.
