Me hago esta pregunta -quiz\u00e1s la m\u00e1s importante de la teor\u00eda pol\u00edtica- cuando veo la foto y la carta de \u00cdngrid Betancourt, publicadas en la primera p\u00e1gina de los peri\u00f3dicos.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfDe qu\u00e9 manera la guerrilla -que supuestamente toma en serio la legitimidad de sus actos- podr\u00eda responder a esa pregunta? No lo puede hacer se\u00f1alando el comportamiento de las personas que secuestraron. Las Farc saben muy bien que sus v\u00edctimas no eran culpables de nada. M\u00e1s a\u00fan, algunos de ellos perdieron la libertad cuando iban a hablar de paz con ellos. Si no son culpables \u00bfentonces por qu\u00e9 est\u00e1n all\u00ed?<\/p>\n<p>La \u00fanica respuesta posible es cruel y lapidaria: porque para ellos el sufrimiento de los secuestrados es \u00fatil para chantajear a un Estado al que consideran enemigo del pueblo. Que en esta justificaci\u00f3n macabra resulten pagando justos por pecadores es, para la guerrilla, un simple accidente de la historia, no un problema moral, mucho menos un problema pol\u00edtico. Ante semejante explicaci\u00f3n, la ley del tali\u00f3n parece un colosal avance de la civilizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Pero volvamos a la carta y a la foto de \u00cdngrid. Sin duda, ellas son la prueba de la realidad pavorosa que viven los secuestrados. Pero tambi\u00e9n son el s\u00edmbolo de la crueldad inefable de las Farc. Y ese s\u00edmbolo tiene un gran valor pol\u00edtico: el valor de evocar en millones de colombianos no s\u00f3lo un genuino sentimiento de dolor y clemencia, sino tambi\u00e9n el aborrecimiento por la guerrilla y por sus pr\u00e1cticas.<\/p>\n<p>Por la fuerza que tiene ese s\u00edmbolo, creo que la estrategia de los secuestradores puede resultar contraproducente: al haber puesto en evidencia su infamia, las Farc pueden generar una reacci\u00f3n tan fuerte en su contra que terminen arruinando no solo toda posibilidad de redenci\u00f3n social de sus ideales a largo plazo, sino tambi\u00e9n todo beneficio pol\u00edtico de la manipulaci\u00f3n de los secuestrados, a corto plazo.<\/p>\n<p>Para que eso se consiga, son necesarias al menos dos cosas. En primer lugar, que la ciudadan\u00eda se movilice y exprese, en la calle, lo que ya siente en su coraz\u00f3n. La indignaci\u00f3n debe trascender el fuero interno, para convertirse en un hecho pol\u00edtico expl\u00edcito; en una sumatoria de voces contra el secuestro (y contra todos aquellos -los &#8216;paras&#8217; incluidos- que usan el dolor ajeno como arma pol\u00edtica).<\/p>\n<p>En segundo lugar, es necesario que esa poblaci\u00f3n que se moviliza al lado de los familiares de los secuestrados, en lugar de ver en el Gobierno un obst\u00e1culo para la liberaci\u00f3n de los secuestrados, encuentre en \u00e9l un apoyo para sus sentimientos de clemencia e indignaci\u00f3n. Es imposible lograr eso sin hacer concesiones a la guerrilla. Sin embargo, en las actuales circunstancias, eso no parece tan grave. Ceder por razones humanitarias no s\u00f3lo no es indigno, sino que puede ser provechoso en la medida en que a\u00edsle a\u00fan m\u00e1s a las Farc.<\/p>\n<p>Justamente por eso, porque con estas pruebas la guerrilla ha quemado el \u00faltimo cartucho de legitimidad que le quedaba, es por lo que las concesiones pol\u00edticas que el Gobierno tiene que hacer para lograr la liberaci\u00f3n de los secuestrados, a la postre, son concesiones de papel que no representan mayor riesgo para las instituciones: el Estado no pierde nada porque las Farc no tienen nada que ganar, ni pol\u00edtica ni militarmente.<\/p>\n<p>Ceder para liberar a los secuestrados demostrar\u00eda, adem\u00e1s, la superioridad \u00e9tica del Estado cuando de defender la vida de las personas se trata. Un Estado que hace justamente lo contrario de lo que hace la guerrilla: mientras ella castiga a ciudadanos inocentes para conseguir beneficios pol\u00edticos, el Estado negocia pol\u00edticamente con ella, para evitar que ciudadanos inocentes sean castigados injustamente.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before Ingrid Betancur\u2019s tests of survival, it fits to ask: under what circumstances can a person consider he has the right to cause other grief or punishment?<\/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-25811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","subcategory-public-policies","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) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Yielding for liberation to the kidnapped?
