Ese \u201carte de lo bueno y lo justo\u201d, seg\u00fan los romanos. Pero tambi\u00e9n esa t\u00e9cnica del inciso y la marrulla. El derecho puede ser lo uno o lo otro, seg\u00fan el tipo de jurista que lo practique.<\/p>\n<p>Pues bien: el pa\u00eds de Uribe es de abogados. Pero de los malos: de aqu\u00e9llos que combinan la astucia del leguleyo con el desd\u00e9n por la Constituci\u00f3n y la ley. As\u00ed como C\u00e9sar Gaviria llev\u00f3 a los economistas al gobierno, con Uribe la profesi\u00f3n jur\u00eddica ha cobrado su revancha: los tinterillos est\u00e1n en el poder.<\/p>\n<p>Parad\u00f3jicamente, el desprecio uribista por el Estado de Derecho lo ha juridizado todo. Medio peri\u00f3dico est\u00e1 dedicado a temas judiciales. El pedacito del noticiero que dejan las notas de far\u00e1ndula lo ocupan abogados encorbatados. A eso se ha reducido el debate p\u00fablico: a los plazos, a las ternas, al par\u00e1grafo.<\/p>\n<p>El l\u00edo no es que el pa\u00eds sea gobernado por juristas o por economistas, sino de qu\u00e9 tipo sean. Varios economistas-columnistas han criticado, con raz\u00f3n, que Uribe haya ido reemplazando a los tecn\u00f3cratas por pol\u00edticos (como el Ministro de Hacienda). Lo mismo pasa con los juristas. Siete a\u00f1os de gobierno han creado una cultura jur\u00eddica uribista, con sus propios personajes paradigm\u00e1ticos.<\/p>\n<p>Los superh\u00e9roes de ese nuevo Sal\u00f3n de la Justicia son dos. El primero es El Cruzado: el jurista que pone el derecho al servicio de la causa moral conservadora y, para ello, desliza h\u00e1biles legalismos recubiertos de latinajos e indignada prosa. Para la muestra est\u00e1 un ex ministro que ya ha recibido el apelativo de h\u00e9roe: el de Invercolsa. Pero el Procurador  \u2014con su cruzada antigay y antiaborto\u2014 est\u00e1 haciendo m\u00e9ritos tambi\u00e9n.<\/p>\n<p>El otro h\u00e9roe es El Pol\u00edtico, el que estudi\u00f3 derecho porque esa era la forma de llegar al poder. Se trata de un personaje conocido: los abogados pol\u00edticos han gobernado el pa\u00eds durante casi toda su historia. Algunos ejemplos son el mismo Uribe, el ministro Valencia o el senador Luis Guillermo Giraldo. El Pol\u00edtico sabe menos que El Cruzado de tecnicismos jur\u00eddicos, quiz\u00e1 porque cap\u00f3 clase por estar en campa\u00f1a desde joven. Los resultados son esperpentos jur\u00eddicos como el texto del referendo de Giraldo o las tutelas revocadas por la Sala Disciplinaria del Consejo Superior de la Judicatura.<\/p>\n<p>El efecto de semejante cultura jur\u00eddica ha sido profundo y de signo contrario al de la Constituci\u00f3n. Porque su ideal es devolvernos al sistema jur\u00eddico de la Constituci\u00f3n de 1886. Como lo dir\u00eda Godofredo C\u00ednico Caspa \u2014ese precursor del uribismo jur\u00eddico\u2014, antes de 1991 \u201cla gente de bien\u201d no ten\u00eda que preocuparse por tutelas y no hab\u00eda c\u00f3mo controvertir \u201cla moral y las buenas costumbres\u201d del C\u00f3digo Civil.<\/p>\n<p>Si Uribe es reelegido, en original o copia, el da\u00f1o para la cultura jur\u00eddica ser\u00eda irreparable. Como en ingenier\u00eda gen\u00e9tica, el uribismo ya tiene listo un h\u00edbrido m\u00e1s potente que sus variedades actuales. Es el cruce de economista y abogado, cuyo poder radica en que absorbe lo peor de cada uno: la arrogancia estad\u00edstica del primero y la mendacidad del segundo. Se trata del Economista Tinterillo, o el Manzanillo Cuantitativo. \u00bfQu\u00e9 tienen en com\u00fan Andr\u00e9s Felipe Arias y Juan Manuel Santos? Como economistas de profesi\u00f3n, disparan cifras para intimidar a sus contradictores. Como leguleyos por adopci\u00f3n, las usan para tratar de tapar el sol con un dedo. Basta recordar la metralleta de estad\u00edsticas acomodadas con que Uribito se defendi\u00f3 del esc\u00e1ndalo de AIS.<\/p>\n<p>Ojal\u00e1 nada de eso pase y los abogados pasemos de moda. Parafraseando a un jurista \u201ceminente\u201d que lleg\u00f3 a la Presidencia, hay que reducir el derecho, como la corrupci\u00f3n, a sus justas proporciones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uribe&#8217;s country is one of lawyers.
