Si todo hubiese quedado ah\u00ed, en la displicencia del Presidente, el asunto ser\u00eda recordado como un desplante de mal gusto y nada m\u00e1s. Pero las cosas fueron mucho m\u00e1s lejos. El 29 de octubre, el consejero Luis Carlos Restrepo y el ministro Juan Manuel Santos la emprendieron contra el presidente del Polo, Carlos Gaviria, no solo por quedarse callado luego de la publicaci\u00f3n de un art\u00edculo suyo en la pagina web de Anncol, sino por sus opiniones sobre el delito de sedici\u00f3n. <\/p>\n<p>En relaci\u00f3n con el tema de la sedici\u00f3n me limito a se\u00f1alar que Restrepo parece no entender nada cuando acusa a Gaviria de simpatizar con la guerrilla por el hecho de opinar a favor de la aplicaci\u00f3n del delito pol\u00edtico a la guerrilla. El presidente del Polo piensa de esa manera porque cree -como lo cree la Corte Suprema y lo cree la gran mayor\u00eda de los penalistas desde la humanizaci\u00f3n del derecho penal en el siglo XVIII- que los motivos del delincuente son relevantes en el momento de medir la pena que se le debe imponer. Gaviria defiende esa posici\u00f3n por razones \u00e9ticas, no por simpat\u00edas con los delincuentes. <\/p>\n<p>Pero en este asunto de la sedici\u00f3n, el comisionado Restrepo parece menos ignorante que hip\u00f3crita. No hay que olvidar que, desde que se redact\u00f3 el proyecto de la Ley de Justicia y Paz, es el Gobierno -y sobre todo el mismo Restrepo- el que ha tratado de favorecer a los paramilitares con los beneficios del delito pol\u00edtico. Si no fuera por las altas cortes, que se han opuesto, hace rato que los &#8216;paras&#8217; tendr\u00edan ese beneficio. <\/p>\n<p>El Gobierno tambi\u00e9n acusa a Gaviria de no reaccionar ante la reproducci\u00f3n de un art\u00edculo suyo en Anncol. Aqu\u00ed no hay ignorancia jur\u00eddica, sino simple mezquindad. \u00bfO acaso el Presidente o el comisionado Restrepo se han precipitado a descalificar a los paramilitares que desde sus p\u00e1ginas web o desde sus publicaciones han reproducido sus ideas? No, y no lo han hecho porque no tienen por qu\u00e9 hacerlo. En principio, uno no est\u00e1 obligado a responder por la manera como otros usan o abusan de nuestras ideas. Sin embargo, a Gaviria no solo le piden que haga algo que ellos -los del Gobierno- no hacen, sino que le piden que haga algo que ni ellos, ni Gaviria, est\u00e1n obligados a hacer. <\/p>\n<p>Las acusaciones contra Gaviria hacen parte de una estrategia pol\u00edtica muy efectiva. El Presidente sabe que su gran apoyo popular proviene, en buena parte, de su capacidad para interpretar el profundo sentimiento antiguerrillero del pueblo colombiano (un sentimiento alimentado con los cr\u00edmenes y las infamias de las Farc). Consciente de ello, la estrategia del Gobierno contra el Polo consiste en tratar de hacer ver a sus dirigentes como pol\u00edticos cercanos a la guerrilla. Dado que no tienen pruebas para vincularlos con la subversi\u00f3n, los acusan, como hace Jos\u00e9 Obdulio, de pecar por pensar. <\/p>\n<p>Para quitarse ese sambenito de encima, pienso que Carlos Gaviria deber\u00eda ser a\u00fan m\u00e1s expl\u00edcito de lo que ha sido hasta ahora en su condena de las Farc. Con ello, no violentar\u00eda sus convicciones liberales -que son m\u00e1s profundas que las de Uribe- y neutralizar\u00eda la estrategia del Gobierno. Mientras no lo haga, lo seguir\u00e1n acusando de &#8220;pecar por pensar&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Lo chocante de estas acusaciones no es tanto su car\u00e1cter infundado -de eso est\u00e1 lleno el debate pol\u00edtico- sino la descalificaci\u00f3n que hacen de Gaviria a partir de raseros \u00e9ticos que el Gobierno mismo, si se los aplicara, no podr\u00eda superar. <\/p>\n<p>Todo esto me hace recordar la c\u00e9lebre definici\u00f3n que La Rochefoucauld hace de la hipocres\u00eda: &#8220;Aquel homenaje que el vicio le rinde a la virtud&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>* Profesor de la Universidad Nacional e investigador de DeJusticia<br \/>\nMauricio Garc\u00eda Villegas <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Government\u2019s strategy against the Pole is to cause its leaders to been seen as politicians close to the guerrilla warfare. <\/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-25793","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) -
