The citizens, those whom Senator Núñez wants to call to pressure for the reforms that the Boric government promised and that it is not going to fulfill, have been treated in the worst way in these two years of the most waterless government that has been said. progressive.
Something between nothing and nothing.
Senator Núñez will have to be reminded that the citizenship to which he refers is in no way a card that is shuffled from the sleeves of power for the whim of some or in the face of the pressing need for what will be a failure in the entire line.
The left abandoned popular mobilization a long time ago.
The legislator’s opportunism is criticizable in treating people as if they were troops waiting for the lucid and accurate call of those who cross a sea of pressures and needs.
Let us remember that only the brackets remain from the current government’s program.
History teaches that nothing that people, previously called people, have conquered for a better life has been a gift from the powerful. That advances in social, political and cultural rights of the people have only been possible through decades of sustained struggles in which many were shot to death.
Let us add that the last thing that was seen in response to the state of affairs that this government has accentuated was in those days of October 2019, in which, precisely, neither the parties nor the senators or anything similar were present.
Those who set out to take over the government but forgot where power resided have done nothing but pave the way for the most abject right. Since the beginning of President Boric’s administration, the identity trait of the initial pachorra went from: here it began, here it ends, neoliberalism, to governing looking at what the right will say.
There is a wandering that only has in mind ending this government by saving what remains of dignity.
The nonexistence of a project that proposes something different from the current state of the country is precisely explained because the people were demobilized, their organizations weakened if not co-opted and the little progress in three decades of waiting, weakened to the point of almost extinction.
It would be a remarkable exercise to see Senator Núñez and his colleagues on the streets leading the social pressure. It would be interesting to find a couple of people who know what these great projects to which the legislator alludes are about. The result of a call to pressure the right through a signature campaign would be worth observing.
People have been mistreated once again.
It is forgotten that this government was only possible to avoid the danger of the extreme right that loomed over this embroidered field of flowers.
And that soon he would not comply with any of the measures that would have had an impact on the people: he did not remove the director of Carabineros, soon to be formalized for serious violations of the human rights of thousands of people, he did not pursue Sebastián Piñera as responsible end of those deaths, on the contrary, a statesman named him, he did not respond to the CAE that makes one live a life of shocks to pay for a university degree, he forgot about the historical debt of the professors, the persecution of the Mapuche intensifies, etc.
So it is not worth it that now, when more failures and more defeats are coming, and the future is compromised by mistakes, resignations and clumsiness, when there is no longer anyone to negotiate with and the extreme right begins to deploy its electoral tactics, one is thinking about social pressure, as if it were a resource available twenty-four seven for when the right shows its abject soul, the left gropes its shipwreck, promises are not kept or traitors betray.
That’s daily bread.
