Si as\u00ed fuera, los colombianos pobres, que son m\u00e1s de la mitad de la poblaci\u00f3n, saldr\u00edan en masa a votar por la izquierda, que es la que promete una pol\u00edtica seria de justicia social. M\u00e1s a\u00fan, se sabe que el presidente Uribe, cuyo gobierno ha favorecido mucho a los ricos y muy poco, o nada, a los pobres, es m\u00e1s popular en los estratos uno y dos, que en los cinco y seis. Si eso es as\u00ed, entonces \u00bfqu\u00e9 razones tiene el pueblo para votar?<\/p>\n<p>Pues razones m\u00e1s et\u00e9reas, como la imagen del candidato, la manera como \u00e9ste interpreta sus ilusiones, sus temores y sus odios, etc. Uribe ha sido visto como un tipo frentero, enemigo de la guerrilla, campechano y trabajador. Esa imagen lo llev\u00f3 al poder y lo tiene todav\u00eda gozando de una enorme popularidad. Ni los innumerables esc\u00e1ndalos de corrupci\u00f3n, ni el aumento de la inequidad social, ni los atropellos contra la Constituci\u00f3n, ni la ineptitud de buena parte de su gobierno, han afectado la imagen de l\u00edder salvador de la patria que tiene.<\/p>\n<p>La izquierda, que supuestamente es m\u00e1s cercana al pueblo que la derecha, no ha sabido interpretar el imaginario pol\u00edtico del pueblo uribista. Sigue creyendo, ingenuamente, que la injusticia social conduce, por s\u00ed sola, a la movilizaci\u00f3n popular. Ha subestimado la importancia que la seguridad tiene para la gente pobre. En fin, no ha tenido en cuenta que el pueblo que vota suele ser m\u00e1s patriota que socialista y m\u00e1s belicoso que legalista.<\/p>\n<p>Pero la izquierda, o parte de ella para ser m\u00e1s exacto, no s\u00f3lo fue incapaz de interpretar al pueblo elector, sino que se dej\u00f3 enredar con las acusaciones que le hicieron de complacencia con la guerrilla. En lugar de atacar con vehemencia a las Farc, respondi\u00f3 acusando al Gobierno de paramilitar. De esta manera, el debate pol\u00edtico sobre la justicia social, que es el que verdaderamente le interesa, qued\u00f3 ahogado en el debate patriotero sobre la defensa del Estado contra el terrorismo, que es en donde la derecha tiene todas las de ganar.<\/p>\n<p>No obstante, contra todos los pron\u00f3sticos, la hegemon\u00eda uribista parece estar llegando hoy a su fin y ello no por su fracaso social, sino por su descalabro moral. La corrupci\u00f3n actual parece ser hoy lo que fue el Cagu\u00e1n de hace ocho a\u00f1os, y Mockus, con la bandera de la legalidad, parece ser lo que era Uribe en ese entonces, con la bandera de la seguridad. El Partido Verde es la opci\u00f3n para restaurar el Estado de Derecho, lo cual, en las circunstancias actuales, es la esperanza democr\u00e1tica m\u00e1s importante desde que fue promulgada la Constituci\u00f3n de 1991.<\/p>\n<p>La izquierda deber\u00eda compartir esa esperanza con los verdes: despu\u00e9s de todo, sus posibilidades reales de llegar al poder y de llevar a cabo las reformas sociales que este pa\u00eds necesita, dependen, en buena medida, de que se restauren la legalidad, la decencia, el pluralismo y el respeto por el saber que el pa\u00eds ha perdido en estos ocho a\u00f1os de gobierno uribista. En un ambiente de polarizaci\u00f3n como el que hemos vivido en estos a\u00f1os, la izquierda resulta macartizada y vilipendiada. Por eso, creo que la izquierda deber\u00eda adherir a los Verdes para la primera vuelta.<\/p>\n<p>Entre otras cosas, porque en un pa\u00eds legal y decente, como el que prometen los verdes, la izquierda tendr\u00eda m\u00e1s posibilidades de hacer realidad su ilusi\u00f3n de que los pobres, finalmente, voten por lo que m\u00e1s les conviene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People do not always vote for what is best for them.
