Ese apoyo, me temo, puede ser un obst\u00e1culo enorme en el anhelo nacional de acabar con la subversi\u00f3n y el secuestro en Colombia. Mis temores est\u00e1n acompa\u00f1ados de las siguientes tres razones.<\/p>\n<p>En primer lugar, con las declaraciones de Ch\u00e1vez, la guerrilla recupera buena parte de la fuerza y de la visibilidad pol\u00edtica que hab\u00eda perdido. Despu\u00e9s de haber malgastado lo que les quedaba de apoyo en algunos sectores de la izquierda y de la opini\u00f3n p\u00fablica y despu\u00e9s de haber perdido buena parte del territorio y de las poblaciones que controlaban, las Farc encuentran en Ch\u00e1vez el ox\u00edgeno que necesitaban. Al presentar a la guerrilla como parte del proyecto regional que \u00e9l lidera y que defiende como un modelo alternativo, m\u00e1s humano y m\u00e1s justo, al capitalismo neoliberal estadounidense, Ch\u00e1vez le da a la guerrilla el aire que le estaba faltando.<\/p>\n<p>En segundo lugar, esas declaraciones dificultan la lucha militar contra la subversi\u00f3n. Como se sabe, la historia de la formaci\u00f3n del Estado est\u00e1 \u00edntimamente ligada a la historia del control de sus fronteras. S\u00f3lo cuando el poder estatal logr\u00f3 evitar que sus enemigos internos entraran y salieran a su antojo del territorio nacional, fue posible vencerlos e imponer un solo orden estatal. Los Estados europeos consiguieron cerrar sus fronteras por all\u00e1 en el siglo XVII. En Colombia se han hecho avances en ese sentido, pero todav\u00eda no se ha logrado encerrar todo el territorio bajo el dominio del Estado. Es evidente que ese logro es m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil de alcanzar cuando nuestro vecino m\u00e1s importante, con el cual compartimos una frontera de m\u00e1s de 2.000 kil\u00f3metros, simpatiza, si no es que apoya -como lo dijo Rodr\u00edguez Chac\u00edn el 10 de enero- a nuestro principal enemigo armado.<\/p>\n<p>En tercer lugar, al legitimar el proyecto pol\u00edtico de las Farc, Ch\u00e1vez banaliza las pr\u00e1cticas inhumanas de la guerrilla. Con el apoyo pol\u00edtico de Ch\u00e1vez, el secuestro, las minas quiebrapatas, el desplazamiento, los asesinatos y las dem\u00e1s atrocidades que comete la guerrilla se ven como si fueran parte de un gran proyecto pol\u00edtico, con ideales nobles y apoyo popular. Desde esa perspectiva, los secuestrados se reducen a meras mercanc\u00edas y el dolor humano se vuelve objeto de negocio, como cualquier bien pol\u00edtico. Por eso, creo que lo que nos espera es la repetici\u00f3n interminable del melodrama medi\u00e1tico del pasado 10 de enero, cuando Clara Rojas y Consuelo Gonz\u00e1lez fueron liberadas. Esas liberaciones van a seguir, gota a gota, en un prolongado reality macabro, dise\u00f1ado seg\u00fan una cuidadosa dosificaci\u00f3n de dolor y esperanza, para mantener en vilo -secuestrados- a la sociedad y al Gobierno.<\/p>\n<p>Antes de escribir esta columna les coment\u00e9 estas razones a algunos colegas. Casi todos estuvieron en desacuerdo conmigo.<br \/>\nSeg\u00fan ellos, esta puede ser una oportunidad -la \u00fanica quiz\u00e1s- para que las Farc abandonen el terrorismo y le apuesten a un proyecto pol\u00edtico civilizado. Yo ser\u00eda el primero en alegrarme si los hechos me muestran que estoy equivocado.<\/p>\n<p>Mientras tanto, me alegra que la sociedad civil, los partidos y las organizaciones sociales, al menos por esta vez, hayan dejado de lado sus diferencias pol\u00edticas y adoptado una posici\u00f3n unificada en defensa de los secuestrados y en rechazo de las Farc y de sus simpatizantes. Ojal\u00e1 no estemos lejos de que pase lo mismo frente a los &#8216;paras&#8217; y sus adeptos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article gives three reasons why the support from the Venezuelan president to the FARC complicates things for Colombia.<\/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-25825","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) -
