Seg\u00fan ella, los partidos pol\u00edticos tienen un destino inescapable: convertirse en maquinarias burocr\u00e1ticas dominadas por l\u00edderes que, tarde o temprano, se olvidan de las bases.<\/p>\n<p>La tragedia se debe a que todos los partidos precisan organizar cuadros, buscar fondos y conseguir votos. Y eso requiere jefes, oficinas, comit\u00e9s, reuniones. La ley no hace excepciones con los partidos que arrancan con el entusiasmo espont\u00e1neo de las movilizaciones ciudadanas, como la reciente ola verde que llev\u00f3 al partido \u00eddem a ganar m\u00e1s de 3,5 millones de votos en las elecciones presidenciales colombianas.<\/p>\n<p>La tesis de Michels tiene encima un siglo de estudios a favor y en contra. Pero lo que me interesa aqu\u00ed es una pregunta m\u00e1s inmediata: \u00bfterminar\u00e1 la refrescante ola verde confirmando la ley y convirti\u00e9ndose en un partido como cualquiera? A prop\u00f3sito, \u00bfd\u00f3nde diablos anda el Partido Verde?<\/p>\n<p>Las preguntas son urgentes porque los verdes est\u00e1n dejando escapar tiempo precioso. Tras las elecciones, Mockus prometi\u00f3 apoyar lo bueno y criticar lo malo de Santos, pero no ha hecho ni lo uno ni lo otro. Fajardo anunci\u00f3 la excelente idea de nombrar un gabinete en la sombra, con expertos en los temas de cada ministerio. Pero no pasa nada. Mientras los verdes descansan, Santos trabaja y atina con nombramientos que lo distancian del uribismo radical. De paso, ocupa el centro pol\u00edtico y el discurso tecn\u00f3crata que eran el capital verde.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfQu\u00e9 hacer para que el Partido Verde no repita los fracasos de las segundas fuerzas pol\u00edticas? Muchos analistas aconsejan concentrarse en armar listas y alianzas para las elecciones de 2011. Agregan que lo esencial es definir el liderazgo del partido. En s\u00edntesis, que los verdes deben dejar de ser movimiento y convertirse en un partido con burocracia.<\/p>\n<p>Las estructuras son clave, pero son s\u00f3lo la mitad de la tarea. Porque el potencial verde no est\u00e1 tanto en sus l\u00edderes, como en el movimiento ciudadano que despertaron. La novedad no son los ex alcaldes, sino su combinaci\u00f3n con la ola verde: la de las redes sociales, los estudiantes, los profesionales y los voluntarios que enviaron correos electr\u00f3nicos o sacaron plata de su bolsillo para imprimir camisetas, sin esperar un puesto como recompensa.<\/p>\n<p>Tuve la oportunidad de conocer a varios de ellos hace poco, en una de las tertulias que los verdes est\u00e1n organizando para pensar su futuro, a la que invitan a comentaristas externos. Ah\u00ed estuvimos con Rudolf Hommes, botando corriente sobre el tema. Nunca hab\u00eda visto a un grupo tan animado con una derrota electoral. Tampoco uno dispuesto a reflexionar abiertamente y pasar varias horas de una noche discutiendo alternativas, motivado s\u00f3lo por la idea de que es posible hacer pol\u00edtica de otra forma.<\/p>\n<p>Al escucharlos, sal\u00ed a\u00fan m\u00e1s convencido de que el futuro de este David, de su posibilidad de ser una opci\u00f3n frente al Goliat de la unidad nacional, depende de su capacidad ser un partido-movimiento. Mejor dicho: de probar que Michels estaba equivocado.<\/p>\n<p>Para eso, podr\u00edan obtener algunas luces de un texto reciente de Malcolm Gladwell, quiz\u00e1s el cronista m\u00e1s original de lengua inglesa. Su t\u00edtulo, C\u00f3mo David puede vencer a Goliat, delata su relevancia para el dilema verde. Tras analizar las estrategias de los d\u00e9biles victoriosos a lo largo de la historia, Gladwell concluye que el secreto consiste en trabajar mucho m\u00e1s duro que los poderosos y usar estrategias audaces, \u201cque desaf\u00eden las convenciones sobre c\u00f3mo se deben dar las peleas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Si los verdes siguen en receso y oyen a quienes los aconsejan volverse predecibles, ser\u00e1n ellos los que recibir\u00e1n el caucherazo en la frente.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IN 1911, ROBERT MICHELS formulated one of the most popular thesis in political science: the &#8220;iron law of oligarchy.&#8221; According to this thesis, political parties have an inescapable destiny: to become bureaucratic machines dominated by leaders who, sooner or later, forget the bases.<\/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-26712","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) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Where is the Green Party?
