Durante los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, las Farc concentraron lo fundamental de su estrategia, de sus recursos y de sus esperanzas pol\u00edticas en el secuestro. Me imagino que, en el interior de la guerrilla, la adopci\u00f3n de esta estrategia no fue una decisi\u00f3n f\u00e1cil; incluso desde el m\u00e1s ortodoxo de los credos comunistas, justificar el secuestro \u2013sobre todo el de civiles\u2013 es algo muy dif\u00edcil. El hecho es que con debates internos o sin ellos, esa pol\u00edtica fue adoptada como parte fundamental de la lucha revolucionaria y ah\u00ed fue el acabose para las Farc; el comienzo de su degradaci\u00f3n moral y pol\u00edtica. \u00bfQui\u00e9n, hace diez a\u00f1os, iba a pensar que esta debacle guerrillera iba a ser causada por la pr\u00e1ctica del secuestro, m\u00e1s que por sus v\u00ednculos con el narcotr\u00e1fico?<\/p>\n<p>Pero el gran \u00e9xito militar del pasado mi\u00e9rcoles no debe oscurecer el hecho de que la primera gran derrota de la guerrilla tuvo lugar en el seno mismo de la sociedad; all\u00ed se fue gestando, poco a poco y con la ayuda de los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n que difund\u00edan las im\u00e1genes y los relatos de horror de los plagiados, un poderoso sentimiento c\u00edvico en contra el acto execrable del secuestro. Fue entonces cuando la estrategia del chantaje utilizada por la guerrilla se revirti\u00f3 contra ella misma: la ciudadan\u00eda dej\u00f3 de ser un reh\u00e9n pasivo \u2013\u00cdngrid Betancourt, con su actitud digna y altiva tuvo mucho que ver en esto\u2013 y termin\u00f3 moviliz\u00e1ndose contra las Farc.<\/p>\n<p>Ahora paso a lo segundo, a la esperanza. Como van las cosas, la guerrilla puede tener un muy mal final; el final sangriento propio de una banda criminal. Pero el pa\u00eds todav\u00eda se puede ahorrar el mont\u00f3n de muertos de ese ep\u00edlogo macabro. Para ello se necesita, por un lado, que la nueva c\u00fapula guerrillera reconozca el fracaso del uso de la violencia como m\u00e9todo de acci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica y se siente a hablar de paz y, por el otro, que el Gobierno asuma las conversaciones de paz sin revanchismos \u2013en esto tambi\u00e9n se puede aprender mucho de Ingrid\u2013 con dignidad de Estado y por el bien del pa\u00eds y de la reconciliaci\u00f3n nacional.<\/p>\n<p>El d\u00eda que Colombia no tenga guerrilla \u2013por primera vez en mi vida contemplo en serio esa posibilidad\u2013 no s\u00f3lo tendremos una disminuci\u00f3n sustancial de los \u00edndices de violencia, sino una mejor sociedad y una mejor democracia. Hace muchos a\u00f1os que el debate pol\u00edtico colombiano est\u00e1 envenenado por la presencia de la guerrilla. Las Farc no s\u00f3lo han perturbado la unidad pol\u00edtica y program\u00e1tica de la izquierda, sino que han alimentado una extrema derecha irracional y energ\u00famena, de la cual se ha nutrido el paramilitarismo. La guerrilla y los paramilitares, con sus respectivos soportes en los extremos del espectro pol\u00edtico legal, han asfixiado el debate democr\u00e1tico y han reducido la contienda a sus meras expresiones clientelistas.<\/p>\n<p>Sin la guerrilla, su opuesto paramilitar se derrumbar\u00eda y el debate democr\u00e1tico tomar\u00eda ox\u00edgeno y fuerza. La guerrilla y los paramilitares son como dos monstruos que \u2013parad\u00f3jicamente\u2013 no s\u00f3lo se fortalecen en la medida en que se atacan, sino que se mueren cuando su enemigo fallece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The spectacular rescue of the 15 kidnapped that were under the power of the FARC is, in my judgement, not only a political blow and a forceful and harsh military action that has never before been infringed by the Army on a guerrilla group, it is also a good opportunity to achieve peace and national reconciliation.  <\/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-25916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","subcategory-public-policies","medium-el-espectador-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) -
