Feudal openings."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>La politizaci\u00f3n acab\u00f3 con la dignidad de estos cargos.<\/p>\n<p>En el siglo XVII, el Estado no contaba con funcionarios p\u00fablicos. Eran los amigos del rey quienes cumpl\u00edan las funciones b\u00e1sicas de administraci\u00f3n y justicia; y lo hac\u00edan de manera vitalicia, depositarios como eran de prerrogativas feudales que luego heredaban sus hijos. <\/p>\n<p>En Colombia no tenemos reyes ni Estado mon\u00e1rquico, pero aqu\u00ed se otorgan privilegios muy parecidos a los feudales. Hay muchos ejemplos, pero ninguno tan elocuente como el de las notar\u00edas.<\/p>\n<p>Existen 858 notarios que son nombrados entre los amigos y copartidarios de los presidentes y gobernadores. Seg\u00fan Portafolio, en los \u00faltimos 10 meses se crearon 20, de las 247 notar\u00edas que han sido creadas desde que se promulg\u00f3 la Constituci\u00f3n de 1991, la misma que en su art\u00edculo 131 orden\u00f3 someter a carrera administrativa a los notarios y acabar con ese mercado clientelista.<\/p>\n<p>Nunca ha sido posible cumplir con ese art\u00edculo 131, ni con las decisiones de la Corte Constitucional que ordenan acatarlo. Ello se debe a que, en esta materia, la constituci\u00f3n choca no s\u00f3lo con intereses pol\u00edticos muy poderosos sino con un mercado muy apetecido. Se calcula que un notario de capital de departamento gana m\u00e1s de cien millones de pesos mensuales.<\/p>\n<p>Las notar\u00edas tambi\u00e9n se heredan como si fueran prerrogativas nobiliarias. Los casos m\u00e1s conocidos -dice Portafolio- son los del notario primero de Bogot\u00e1, Hern\u00e1n Pieschac\u00f3n Forondona, y la notaria 29, Patricia T\u00e9llez Lombana, quienes recibieron los cargos de sus padres. Pero sobre todo, dice Portafolio, las notar\u00edas se consiguen por la familiaridad con el poder pol\u00edtico. Victoria Bernal Trujillo, notaria 18, es hija del ex procurador Jaime Bernal Cu\u00e9llar; Gilberto Castro Castro, notario 4, es hermano del ex alcalde de Bogot\u00e1 Jaime Castro Castro; Jorge Humberto Uribe Escobar, notario 24, es hermano del senador Mario Uribe Escobar y primo del presidente Alvaro Uribe (Portafolio, 6 de septiembre de 2006).<br \/>\nY estos son solo algunos ejemplos bogotanos entre decenas de casos.<\/p>\n<p>A lo anterior se agrega el hecho de que las notar\u00edas en Colombia prestan un servicio p\u00fablico desmesurado e incierto a la vez.<\/p>\n<p>Desmesurado, porque todo tiene que pasar por ellas. En pa\u00edses desarrollados, las funciones de notariado son algo marginal. Rara vez una persona del com\u00fan tiene que pedir una certificaci\u00f3n notarial. En Colombia, en cambio, las notar\u00edas abundan y siempre est\u00e1n llenas de usuarios que solicitan todo tipo de certificaciones in\u00fatiles como la autenticaci\u00f3n de la c\u00e9dula o la declaraci\u00f3n juramentada.<\/p>\n<p>Pero el servicio p\u00fablico que prestan tambi\u00e9n es incierto. Las notar\u00edas sirven m\u00e1s para fomentar la presunci\u00f3n del principio de mala fe -en contra de la Constituci\u00f3n que ordena presumir la buena fe (art. 83)- que para asegurar transacciones. Es verdad que aqu\u00ed se hacen m\u00e1s trampas que en otros pa\u00edses. Sin embargo, me pregunto si las notar\u00edas realmente disuaden a los tramposos o, por el contrario, permiten que sus trampas sean m\u00e1s certeras. Esos sellos de todos los colores que ponen los notarios detr\u00e1s de las hojas dan la falsa impresi\u00f3n de un respaldo institucional poderoso y omnisciente. Falsa impresi\u00f3n que, me temo, sirve para perfeccionar enga\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<p>Desde los tiempos remotos de las Siete Partidas de Alfonso el Sabio se considera que el notario es depositario de una funci\u00f3n p\u00fablica esencial, como es la de dar fe. Por eso se supone que el Estado debe escoger personas de altas calidades morales e intelectuales para que desempe\u00f1en esa funci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Pero la realidad es otra. La politizaci\u00f3n de las notar\u00edas acab\u00f3 con la dignidad de estos cargos y lo sigue haciendo en contra de la Constituci\u00f3n y, peor a\u00fan, con la complicidad del Gobierno, el cual sabe muy bien que con la implantaci\u00f3n de la carrera notarial pierde las ventajas de esa tradici\u00f3n pol\u00edtica centenaria que consiste en otorgar a los amigos privilegios disfrazados de cargos p\u00fablicos<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The politicization of the registry offices to put an end to the dignity of these charges and continues to go against the Constitution and, worse still, with the complicity of the Government.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-semana-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The notaries.
