Now that we are fully immersed in an election campaign, I seems necessary to give the real relevance with two initiatives circulating precisely at this time by the media. Leaders and their words have somewhat overshadowed the two major proposals, although its origin is placed in different forums, have to do, and much, relations between politicians and citizens, especially the differences that the two documents remarking between they should be and what they really are.
The most recent of these two initiatives is a book called "React" and was presented yesterday, among others, two of its promoters, there are many more, "the judge Baltasar Garzón and Federico Mayor Zaragoza, which I will not Titles include a curriculum interminable, although it stressed including its co-chair the High Level Group for Alliance of Civilizations, the UN and president of the Foundation for a Culture of Peace, in addition to being minister Adolfo Suarez. This publication, from what I've read about 'awakening' to the public to the uses and abuses of their vote makes the political leaders. A phrase that reflects the spirit of the book is: "The worst thing you can do is laugh democracy of citizens" and gave the always controversial Garzón. And what do you think the judge is laughing at the citizens? Well, among other things, "not telling the truth", "take a joke corruption" or "discrediting the institutions" to name just a few words. The initiative aims to stop the English 'pass' of politicians, limiting our claims to place them in the top of the groups are less valued in all the CIS surveys, we begin to demand that fulfill their part of the contract that represents the We support them at the polls and take into account what it is precisely due to these votes. As another gem of this compilation book I stay with the words of Mayor Zaragoza, who, referring to the current situation of our country, says, "They take social justice and we will exchange it for the markets." You will not know this man what he's talking!
More modest but no less important, is another initiative, part of journalists' associations and has the support of other groups involved in the communication sector. In this case it is a manifesto, which has already collected thousands of signatures, against the press conference without questions, a mode that has begun to proliferate in recent years and has reached its period of glory in these times when we today. That letter, which I invite you to read who do not know, is to gain the support of business communication for professionals who are aware of the obligation to attend to these calls for parties and institutions to do their job without risking a reprimand, if not a penalty, if they choose not to cover these events monologues.
sure some people will say: "Bah! This is a problem with journalists." But they are wrong. Sit in a chair while responsible for reading a paper or turn briefly explains the reasons for its decision without giving the option to know the details and reasons for one or the other, makes a mere clerk, reporter and eventually kill the important name be of such professionals and the media they represent, which is no conductor cable to serve as communication between politicians and citizens, who can know every possible nook, edge or detail of performance and the decisions they make their public representatives.
take note that precisely in these times when politics becomes the foreground, the two initiatives, from different backgrounds, become a serious warning the public of the risks that the interpretation of constitutional rights, and democracy in general, can make public representatives are transmuted into absolutist attitudes like that every day more political leaders and institutional practice. Are two serious reprimands for citizens become aware that, as before pointed out, every time we go to the polls we signed a contract with acronyms and people and are obliged to demand compliance.
