Encontrar esas dos virtudes en una sola persona no siempre es cosa f\u00e1cil. <\/p>\n<p>Por lo general, la gente que m\u00e1s sabe de algo carece de lealtades pol\u00edticas y la gente que m\u00e1s compromisos pol\u00edticos tiene casi no es experta en nada. Por eso muchas veces el gobernante est\u00e1 obligado a sacrificar algo de conocimiento o algo de lealtad en la persona que nombra. Que haga una cosa o la otra depende mucho de su talante como gobernante. A Barack Obama, por ejemplo, se le critica el hecho de rodearse de gente que sabe mucho pero que no tiene olfato pol\u00edtico. A Uribe le pasa lo contrario.<\/p>\n<p>Antes de explicar lo de Uribe, perm\u00edtame decir esto: no siempre tiene que haber un balance equilibrado entre lealtad y conocimiento. Es natural que el aspecto pol\u00edtico tenga prioridad en algunos cargos, como por ejemplo cuando se trata de un ministro de gobierno. Otras veces, como sucede con los miembros de la Junta del Banco de la Rep\u00fablica o con los magistrados de la Corte Constitucional, debe primar la experticia, como dicen ahora.<\/p>\n<p>Pues bien, Uribe pone pol\u00edticos all\u00ed justamente donde m\u00e1s se necesitan expertos. Aqu\u00ed van dos ejemplos monumentales. El primero es el de la econom\u00eda y para eso dejo hablar a un conocedor: el Presidente \u2014dice Alejandro Gaviria en estas p\u00e1ginas\u2014 est\u00e1 divorciado de los economistas porque \u201cprefiere tomar decisiones de manera aut\u00f3noma, sin mucha discusi\u00f3n, sin oposici\u00f3n interna. Y los economistas prefieren el discernimiento, la discusi\u00f3n permanente, inconsciente, a veces, de las urgencias de la pol\u00edtica\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El segundo es la justicia. Hace poco fueron elegidos en el Senado, a partir de ternas elaboradas por el Presidente, dos nuevos magistrados en la Corte Constitucional. Esas ternas, como suele suceder en este gobierno, eran ternas de uno, es decir, s\u00f3lo un candidato ten\u00eda opci\u00f3n de salir nombrado, los dem\u00e1s eran comodines. Pero esto, que viola el esp\u00edritu de la Constituci\u00f3n, no es lo peor. Lo m\u00e1s grave es que las personas designadas por Uribe no tienen ni malicia de derecho constitucional. La \u00fanica certeza que tienen en la materia  \u2014que tambi\u00e9n es la raz\u00f3n por la cual los nombraron\u2014 es que la ley del referendo sobre la reelecci\u00f3n, que ser\u00e1 sometida a su consideraci\u00f3n, es una norma que debe ser declarada constitucional.<\/p>\n<p>La explicaci\u00f3n de la preferencia de Uribe por la lealtad y el menosprecio por el conocimiento est\u00e1, a mi juicio, en la naturaleza de su proyecto pol\u00edtico; un proyecto que no s\u00f3lo entra\u00f1a una concepci\u00f3n del gobierno, sino de la sociedad, de la manera de vivir y de la moral social. Un proyecto as\u00ed no requiere de pensadores sino de seguidores. Algo de eso tuvimos en Colombia a finales del siglo XIX cuando Caro y N\u00fa\u00f1ez llegaron al poder.<\/p>\n<p>A prop\u00f3sito, esto es lo que dec\u00eda Enrique Restrepo de Miguel Antonio Caro: \u201cPara \u00e9l, s\u00f3lo existen hombres de dos clases sobre la tierra: los que piensan como \u00e9l y los otros\u2026 No hay t\u00e9rminos medios\u2026 Bajo la capa de cada individuo de ideas ambiguas, adivina Caro al adversario que usa arteras industrias y prohibidas armas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Si usted considera que esa descripci\u00f3n de Caro dice algo de la manera de ser de Uribe, ya entendi\u00f3 por qu\u00e9 ambos prefieren trabajar con seguidores y no con expertos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a President appoints somebody, looks for the candidate to have at least two conditions: 1)knowledge of the job and 2) loyalty to his politic cause.
