Tres d\u00edas despu\u00e9s, cambio de personajes, pero escenario casi id\u00e9ntico: el Ministro de Defensa, rodeado por altos mandos militares, anuncia ante las c\u00e1maras la grata noticia del rescate del general Mendieta y sus compa\u00f1eros, y el fin de la pesadilla inhumana de su secuestro por las Farc.<\/p>\n<p>La similitud es tan elocuente como preocupante. Elocuente porque muestra con dramatismo teatral el lugar que parece tener la justicia en la mente del Gobierno: dentro del c\u00edrculo del \u201cenemigo\u201d a derrotar. En ambos casos, la imagen es la de un Gobierno y unas Fuerzas Armadas unidas no s\u00f3lo contra las Farc \u2014lo que es leg\u00edtimo y necesario\u2014 sino contra los jueces que se limitan a cumplir su deber: aplicar las leyes y los tratados que le ponen coto a lo que se puede hacer jur\u00eddicamente, a\u00fan en circunstancias de conflicto armado como la colombiana.<\/p>\n<p>Aqu\u00ed es donde el parecido se pone m\u00e1s preocupante. Porque es claro que, lejos de ser fortuito, refleja la lamentable y temeraria tesis de asesores gubernamentales, seg\u00fan la cual hay una \u201cguerra jur\u00eddica\u201d contra el Estado colombiano que acompa\u00f1a la \u201cguerra militar\u201d contra la guerrilla. Desde esta visi\u00f3n insostenible, la primera guerra es librada por un disciplinado ej\u00e9rcito de jueces, fiscales, ONG, relatores de la ONU y organizaciones internacionales, que se dedican a infligirles a las Fuerzas Armadas el da\u00f1o que la guerrilla no logra hacerles en la guerra de verdad. De ah\u00ed que los jueces, magistrados y dem\u00e1s miembros de esta cuadrilla imaginaria \u2014que actuar\u00edan al un\u00edsono aunque muchos ni se conozcan entre s\u00ed, y aunque denuncian e investigan tambi\u00e9n a las Farc\u2014 merezcan calificativos que cambian seg\u00fan la acidez del columnista gubernamental de turno: \u201cIdiotas \u00fatiles\u201d, para los m\u00e1s benignos; \u201cc\u00f3mplices del terrorismo\u201d, para los menos.<\/p>\n<p>El resultado de semejante visi\u00f3n de amigo-enemigo est\u00e1 a la vista: la polarizaci\u00f3n extrema de cualquier discusi\u00f3n sobre el tema, la persecuci\u00f3n contra los jueces y las cortes y la erosi\u00f3n gradual pero segura de la independencia judicial y el Estado de Derecho.<\/p>\n<p>Todo esto deja claro que el gobierno Uribe quiere asegurarse de que la reforma a la justicia sea la prioridad ineludible de su sucesor. Y que en las decisiones que tome el nuevo presidente en los primeros meses de su mandato tendremos las mejores pistas sobre su verdadero talante.<\/p>\n<p>Los temas clave ser\u00e1n tres. Primero, \u00bfqu\u00e9 hacer con los delicados procesos contra el propio gobierno Uribe, que ya tocan a algunos de sus funcionarios m\u00e1s cercanos? Segundo, \u00bfqu\u00e9 acci\u00f3n tomar en relaci\u00f3n con el fuero penal militar? Finalmente, \u00bfqu\u00e9 hacer con los procesos de la parapol\u00edtica?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A scene seems to be a replica of the other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"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-26694","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) -
