OPINET COLUMN
Opposition Colombia should learn the lesson that gave the English prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, to come out in defense of his archenemy, former President José María Aznar, to the blatant attack the president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, and his boss mentor, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
was a lesson in advanced studies in political science. Who accepts the rules of democracy is bound to recognize the sovereign decision of the people, to respect and defend it even though profoundly disagrees with the ideas it represents the other who has been designated in power.
Aznar was elected legitimately and constitutionally by the English people and Democrats call anyone who can afford any of the Palotes Perico come to question the institutions of a country without requiring at least a minimum of synderesis. For Chavez, with his remarks to Aznar, questioned the entire English democracy: a president not only conspires and their decisions have to be tied to the legal system. Therefore, neither Zapatero and the King could have done less to react with that composure to the unreasonable intervention of a charlatan like Chavez paranoid.
However, in our many were surprised by the alleged nobility who taught Rodriguez Zapatero to stand up for his opponent because he did not understand Aznar defended not only Spain, with its democracy, its presidential institution and, in essence, its people.
That's what they do not understand the opposition here, God knows whether through ignorance or simply because one's own is not democracy. Those who often travel to Latin America, Europe and now the United States, which often used to burn flag-rant to the Colombian government, accusing it of helping "the paramilitaries, a violator of human rights, to be a gangster regime , etc., and to discredit and offend the President, make the same shameful nonsense Chavez and lacks respect for the Colombian nation our democracy and Colombians (including themselves). And, at bottom, they show such contempt for the institutions that could be regarded as true subversive infiltrators anachronistic. People like Gustavo Petro
, Carlos Gaviria, Wilson Borja, Piedad Córdoba, Jorge Enrique Robledo and others are an embarrassment to Colombia and if actually believe Democrats should take note of the conduct of Zapatero and act accordingly. Of course this is nothing more than a desire unattainable because what they have been doing in recent years is precisely the opposite, so hypocritical.
The opposition wants to ignore the legitimate mandate to the people gave Colombia Alvaro Uribe Velez and has been systematically developing a smear campaign to undermine the president's power, even injuring the interests of Colombians. In a way we understand the ideological pulse of the left-and their international peers, against a government that fights with the support of the Colombians, to those 'romantic' to 'kill for people to live better "(as Carlos Gaviria argues ), but the campaign they have done in the United States to prevent the signing of the FTA is most vile and again against all the left because it only has a chance to come to power in a free stage of subversion and a dynamic economy, inserted in the global market. Shiv
To those (like Chavez) who screamed here and there, and celebrate the triumphs insulting the President, should be asked, emulating Don Juan Carlos: Why do not you shut up?!
