Otras, en cambio, no aprenden nada de ellas; s\u00f3lo las reproducen. Los colombianos hacemos parte de esas sociedades que no se reponen de sus desdichas. Eso es lo que pienso cuando leo el informe publicado en EL TIEMPO sobre las fosas de los paramilitares.<\/p>\n<p>Estoy seguro de que la gran mayor\u00eda de los lectores se conmovieron leyendo ese informe y que sintieron eso que llaman &#8220;dolor de patria&#8221;. Tambi\u00e9n estoy seguro de que muchos estar\u00edan dispuestos a hacer algo para que tales hechos no se repitan.<\/p>\n<p>Sin embargo, el drama de este pa\u00eds es que nunca podemos pasar de los sentimientos individuales a la acci\u00f3n colectiva. Los millones de seres pac\u00edficos y tolerantes que hay en el pa\u00eds no somos capaces de convertir nuestro repudio por la violencia en un s\u00edmbolo de unidad nacional que nos impida repetir el pasado. Los sentimientos pol\u00edticos m\u00e1s fuertes se nos enquistan en el alma. M\u00e1s que sociedad, en Colombia tenemos individuos replegados sobre s\u00ed mismos.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no logramos aprender de la tragedia para no repetirla? Creo que nuestra indolencia frente a las v\u00edctimas es parte esencial de la respuesta a esta pregunta. Esta indolencia -fruto sin duda de la impotencia- proviene de una cultura pol\u00edtica nacional que tiende a ver todos los cr\u00edmenes con la lente del conflicto pol\u00edtico. Bajo esa mirada, las v\u00edctimas se trivializan. Me explico.<\/p>\n<p>En Colombia creemos -y eso desde el siglo XIX- que todo lo que pasa en el conflicto armado, incluidos los cr\u00edmenes atroces, es una expresi\u00f3n de la pol\u00edtica. En esta sociedad de enemigos, la tragedia de las v\u00edctimas es vista como algo natural, como una consecuencia inevitable de la guerra. No hay responsabilidad sino fatalidad. El descuartizamiento a machete de miles de campesinos, luego enterrados en fosas comunes por los &#8216;paras&#8217;, es visto como un acto de disenso pol\u00edtico entre dos bandos, m\u00e1s que como un acto de barbarie. Las v\u00edctimas son actores pol\u00edticos antes que madres, labriegos, ancianos, ni\u00f1os. Al ser ellas una expresi\u00f3n natural del conflicto armado, su tragedia, y con ella la tragedia del pa\u00eds, se &#8220;normaliza&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>La confusi\u00f3n entre lo pol\u00edtico y lo criminal y la trivializaci\u00f3n de las v\u00edctimas se han agravado con la llegada al poder del presidente Uribe. Un presidente que no parece guardar igual distancia frente a los dos actores ilegales del conflicto armado. Un presidente que hace demasiado alarde de esos valores del finquero antioque\u00f1o, ind\u00f3mito y brav\u00edo, que ayudaron a engendrar la movilizaci\u00f3n paramilitar. Un presidente que, al concentrar sus antipat\u00edas en el ala subversiva del conflicto armado, tiende a subestimar el dolor de las v\u00edctimas que vienen del ala opuesta del conflicto.<\/p>\n<p>En un pa\u00eds en el que ocurre un hecho como el de las fosas de los &#8216;paras&#8217;, el Presidente deber\u00eda salir por los medios, hablar de eso, encarnar el dolor nacional y convertir el hecho en un s\u00edmbolo contra el pasado. \u00bfNo es acaso el Presidente quien, seg\u00fan la Constituci\u00f3n, simboliza la unidad de la naci\u00f3n?<\/p>\n<p>A pesar del esp\u00edritu presidencial que nos gobierna, en el \u00faltimo a\u00f1o se han logrado ciertos avances en la diferenciaci\u00f3n entre pol\u00edtica y crimen. Algunos de los jefes paramilitares est\u00e1n en la c\u00e1rcel, las v\u00edctimas se movilizan hoy m\u00e1s que nunca y algo de verdad empieza a vislumbrarse. <\/p>\n<p>Esperemos que este lento camino hacia el reconocimiento de las v\u00edctimas -reconocimiento con independencia de su origen- sirva para evitar que en Colombia las tragedias se reproduzcan y que alg\u00fan d\u00eda la memoria que guardamos de ellas nos permita construir una sociedad m\u00e1s civilizada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The author maintains that the drama of this country is that we can never pass from individual feelings to collective action.  <\/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-25701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-el-tiempo-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) -
