Pero antes de que arranque la siguiente carrera, vale la pena detenerse un segundo a pensar sobre el tipo de Congreso que vamos a tener desde el 20 de julio y lo que nos espera los siguientes cuatro a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<p>Los pesimistas recuerdan que gan\u00f3 la maquinaria clientelista y que este es el Congreso que se merece una sociedad corrupta. Los optimistas dicen que la cosa no sali\u00f3 tan mal: que los verdes reto\u00f1aron y que la oposici\u00f3n no desapareci\u00f3.<\/p>\n<p>Quisiera creerles a los optimistas y decir, con ellos, que las instituciones colombianas siempre se las han arreglado para sobrevivir. Esa es la versi\u00f3n reconfortante de la colombianolog\u00eda desde hace al menos 40 a\u00f1os, cuando Albert Hirschman, el famoso economista estadounidense que vivi\u00f3 en el pa\u00eds, ve\u00eda en las instituciones colombianas una de las razones para su \u201cobstinaci\u00f3n por la esperanza\u201d en Am\u00e9rica Latina.<\/p>\n<p>Es cierto que el logro de los verdes es admirable y que dan ganas de hacer como en la canci\u00f3n de Diego Torres: pintarse la cara color esperanza. Pero tambi\u00e9n es cierto que las leyes son hechas por las mayor\u00edas. Y los que ganaron son otros: los de la maquinaria de la U y el Partido Conservador, que est\u00e1n cobrando los favores de ocho a\u00f1os de clientelismo; y los del PIN, que, como los gatos, siempre caen parados.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed que no hay mucha raz\u00f3n para la esperanza frente al \u201cnuevo\u201d Congreso, a menos que uno crea en la variante maturanesca de la tesis optimista: que perder es ganar un poco. Mejor ponerse el tapaboca y asomarse con realismo a lo que har\u00e1 el Congreso que acaba de ser elegido y lo que tocar\u00e1 hacer para atajarlo.<\/p>\n<p>Lo primero que el Congreso querr\u00e1 hacer es reformar la justicia a su medida. La prioridad de la coalici\u00f3n uribista ser\u00e1 blindarse judicialmente para que no le pase lo que a \u00c1lvaro Ara\u00fajo y los dem\u00e1s parapol\u00edticos. Por eso habr\u00e1 que mirar con lupa cualquier proyecto de reforma al sistema judicial, para atajar los goles que le intentar\u00e1n meter a la Corte Suprema y a la justicia en general.<\/p>\n<p>El segundo frente clave para la U, el Conservatismo y el PIN es la resurrecci\u00f3n de los proyectos vitales para el uribismo rural \u2014ese que, aunque derrotado en la consulta conservadora, sac\u00f3 millones de votos al Congreso\u2014. Habr\u00e1 por lo menos tres. Una nueva ley forestal que reencauche la que la Corte Constitucional tumb\u00f3 por haber abierto los bosques a la explotaci\u00f3n comercial sin consultar a los pueblos ind\u00edgenas y comunidades negras que los han conservado. Tambi\u00e9n una nueva regulaci\u00f3n minera que abra los socavones del pa\u00eds a la inversi\u00f3n privada sin condiciones ambientales ni sociales. Y una legislaci\u00f3n que valide la contrarreforma agraria de AIS, Carimagua y otras obras de Arias que quedaron inconclusas y que sus beneficiarios, ahora en el Congreso, querr\u00e1n terminar.<\/p>\n<p>Por eso, se ve venir la agudizaci\u00f3n del choque del Congreso con las cortes, que seguir\u00e1n tratando de tapar los agujeros por los que las instituciones hacen agua. La Corte Suprema tendr\u00e1 que abrir tantos procesos contra pol\u00edticos que correr\u00e1 el riesgo de reventarse. Por eso mismo, tendr\u00e1 que mantener el pulso firme en el asunto de la elecci\u00f3n del nuevo Fiscal. Y la Corte Constitucional tendr\u00e1 que continuar exigiendo acciones sobre los temas que m\u00e1s importan \u2014como el desplazamiento y la salud\u2014, porque el Congreso estar\u00e1 ocupado en otras cosas.<\/p>\n<p>Ojal\u00e1 me equivoque. Tal vez el pesimismo sea s\u00f3lo un desliz de fracasoman\u00eda, ese talante colombiano que el mismo Hirschman siempre abomin\u00f3. Ojal\u00e1 los votos independientes se multipliquen como en el milagro de los panes. Pero tambi\u00e9n es bueno prepararse para lo probable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the parliamentary elections, everybody enlists their bets for the presidential ones.
