El martes, el Presidente rega\u00f1\u00f3 al Fiscal por haber dicho que la penalizaci\u00f3n del consumo m\u00ednimo de drogas il\u00edcitas no era efectiva y que, en lugar de reprimir, hab\u00eda que educar.<\/p>\n<p>Al d\u00eda siguiente, como queriendo respaldar su posici\u00f3n contra el Fiscal, el Gobierno present\u00f3 los resultados de una encuesta en donde, seg\u00fan \u00e9l, se demuestra el aumento del consumo de drogas en el pa\u00eds. En ambas noticias el Gobierno queda mal parado. <\/p>\n<p>En la primera, porque el Fiscal es un funcionario aut\u00f3nomo; no es un subordinado del Presidente y por lo tanto nada impide que tenga opiniones propias sobre pol\u00edtica criminal. Como Uribe sabe que no puede destituir al Fiscal, ni siquiera pedirle que se retracte, lo rega\u00f1a como si fuera un ni\u00f1o chiquito. El suceso no pasar\u00eda de ser una  descompostura de mal gusto si no formara parte de una ya muy larga lista de intimidaciones presidenciales a la prensa, a las ONG, a la Corte, a los intelectuales y a todo aquel que no se sintoniza con el pensamiento del Jefe de Estado. Mirada esa lista en su conjunto \u2014incluidas las \u2018chuzadas\u2019 telef\u00f3nicas del DAS\u2014 m\u00e1s que un presidente intolerante y de mal car\u00e1cter, lo que se ve es una pol\u00edtica velada y juiciosamente destinada a restringir la libertad de expresi\u00f3n. (Que diferencia con la manera como Obama se dirigi\u00f3 a los republicanos en su discurso del martes pasado en el Congreso).<\/p>\n<p>En el informe sobre consumo de drogas \u2014la segunda noticia\u2014 las cosas no se componen para el Gobierno y eso porque all\u00ed no se dice lo que Uribe pretende, esto es, que hay un aumento del consumo de drogas il\u00edcitas en el pa\u00eds. La informaci\u00f3n que aparece en el informe (al menos la que publica la prensa) s\u00f3lo habla de cifras actuales, con lo cual no se sabe si estamos igual, mejor o peor que antes. Pero incluso si nos atenemos a esas cifras, la situaci\u00f3n de Colombia no parece tan grave. M\u00e1s a\u00fan, si se mira el \u00faltimo informe de la Oficina para las Drogas y el Crimen de las Naciones Unidas, se ve c\u00f3mo el consumo en Colombia no s\u00f3lo est\u00e1 por debajo de los promedios mundiales e incluso latinoamericanos, sino que se ha mantenido estable en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os. <\/p>\n<p>Con esto no quiero desconocer la gravedad del consumo de drogas en el pa\u00eds; lo que quiero es mostrar que no hay pruebas para afirmar que ese problema se ha agravado, ni para sostener que es peor en Colombia que en el resto de los pa\u00edses occidentales.<\/p>\n<p>En fin, estas dos noticias son un fiel reflejo de la torpeza y falta de sentido pr\u00e1ctico con las cuales el Gobierno enfrenta el problema de las drogas. El hecho de que esa torpeza nos venga de los Estados Unidos, es una excusa apenas entendible, sobre todo ahora, despu\u00e9s de haber sido publicado el primer informe de la Comisi\u00f3n Latinoamericana sobre Drogas y Democracia.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfSer\u00e1 mucho pedirle al Presidente que cuando se trata de estos temas de gran envergadura nacional y mundial \u2014como el de la droga\u2014 haga un esfuerzo por utilizar algo del pragmatismo que se le conoce cuando se dedica a los malabares de la pol\u00edtica menuda y burocr\u00e1tica?<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>Ning\u00fan partido en Colombia se puede preciar de tener una discusi\u00f3n interna tan rica y abierta como la que existe en el Polo. Ojal\u00e1 eso, que es una virtud, no se convierta en su perdici\u00f3n. Ahora m\u00e1s que nunca el pa\u00eds necesita de una izquierda democr\u00e1tica capaz de llegar al poder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two news articles surfaced this week about drugs.
