Pero leyendo el concepto del Procurador sobre la ley del referendo veo que los roles se han invertido: la derecha de hoy se volvi\u00f3 populista y dej\u00f3 de ser procedimental y legalista, lo cual ha obligado a todos los dem\u00e1s grupos pol\u00edticos a defender los procedimientos y las formas establecidas en la Constituci\u00f3n. \u00bfC\u00f3mo es esto posible?<\/p>\n<p> Lo que creo es que este cambio en la manera de interpretar la Constituci\u00f3n por parte de la derecha no obedece a ninguna concepci\u00f3n jur\u00eddica seria, sino a una estrategia pol\u00edtica, ama\u00f1ada y circunstancial.<\/p>\n<p> Para demostrar lo que digo voy referirme al concepto del Procurador, utilizando el viejo m\u00e9todo de la reducci\u00f3n al absurdo, que consiste en suponer una hip\u00f3tesis a trav\u00e9s de la cual se obtiene un resultado que no tiene sentido, lo cual permite concluir que dicha hip\u00f3tesis de partida es falsa.<\/p>\n<p> La hip\u00f3tesis que propongo consiste en suponer que los argumentos del Procurador se mantienen incluso cuando cambia el color pol\u00edtico de quienes resultan favorecidos con su decisi\u00f3n. \u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa si no son los uribistas sino, por ejemplo, los del Polo, los favorecidos? Habr\u00eda que preguntarle al Procurador si, dado ese cambio hipot\u00e9tico, estar\u00eda dispuesto a mantener su argumentaci\u00f3n. Solo si la respuesta es afirmativa \u2014suponiendo, claro, que esta sea sincera\u2014  el Procurador saldr\u00eda bien librado. Hagamos pues la prueba.<\/p>\n<p> Supongamos que el presidente no es Uribe sino Petro y que este \u00faltimo, como Uribe, goza de gran prestigio, lleva casi ocho a\u00f1os en el poder y quiere cambiar la Constituci\u00f3n para gobernar en un tercer per\u00edodo. La pregunta para el Procurador \u2014que seguir\u00eda siendo el mismo\u2014 ser\u00eda esta: \u00bftomar\u00eda usted la misma decisi\u00f3n? \u00bfPondr\u00eda usted, como lo hace ahora, la voluntad del pueblo por encima de los procedimientos constitucionales? \u00bfDir\u00eda usted de nuevo que cambiar la Constituci\u00f3n mediante referendo es lo mismo que cambiarla mediante Asamblea Constituyente? \u00bfSe mantendr\u00eda usted firme en decir que la violaci\u00f3n de los topes de financiaci\u00f3n durante la recolecci\u00f3n de firmas no desvirtu\u00f3 la voluntad popular? \u00bfPasar\u00eda usted por alto, como lo hace ahora, todos los vicios de tr\u00e1mite que tuvo el proceso de elaboraci\u00f3n de la ley?<\/p>\n<p> Dudo mucho de que usted, o la gran mayor\u00eda de los uribistas que lo acompa\u00f1an, pudiera responder afirmativamente a una sola de estas preguntas. Y lo dudo porque todo indica que para usted la norma superior no es la Constituci\u00f3n sino los valores conservadores que defiende el presidente Uribe. As\u00ed lo demostr\u00f3 en sus recientes arremetidas contra la legalizaci\u00f3n del aborto, contra las parejas homosexuales y lo ratifica hoy en su concepto sobre la ley del referendo. All\u00ed, en esos valores conservadores, no en la Constituci\u00f3n y en sus procedimientos, est\u00e1, cree usted, el proyecto de sociedad que debe guiar a Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>  Una constituci\u00f3n es como una regla b\u00e1sica de juego; una regla que establece l\u00edmites al ejercicio del poder pol\u00edtico, con independencia de qui\u00e9n sea el gobernante. As\u00ed lo consagraron los constituyentes de 1991. Para el Procurador, en cambio, parece como si los procedimientos y los l\u00edmites que establece la Constituci\u00f3n s\u00f3lo se aplicaran en el evento de que el uribismo no estuviera en el poder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POLITICAL POSITIONS have their typical ways of interpreting the Constitution.<\/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-26548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","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) -
