Es imposible analizarlos todos en una columna, por lo que destaco los cuatro que me parecen m\u00e1s importantes.<\/p>\n<p>Primero, la nueva Fiscal tiene que mostrar independencia. Muchas de las investigaciones m\u00e1s sensibles que deber\u00e1 afrontar la Fiscal\u00eda tienen que ver con abusos gubernamentales (como las chuzadas del DAS) o involucran a pol\u00edticos, como en la parapol\u00edtica. Viviane Morales fue congresista durante muchos a\u00f1os. Ha sido tambi\u00e9n cercana al ex presidente Uribe y al actual gobierno. Nada de eso es en s\u00ed mismo malo, pero Morales tendr\u00e1 que mostrar que su trayectoria pol\u00edtica y sus v\u00ednculos personales no afectan su independencia como Fiscal.<\/p>\n<p>Segundo, la nueva Fiscal tendr\u00e1 que desarrollar una pol\u00edtica de investigaci\u00f3n coherente, cuidadosa y orientada estrat\u00e9gicamente, a fin de enfrentar los problemas muy serios que tiene actualmente la investigaci\u00f3n criminal.<\/p>\n<p>Sin lugar a dudas la Fiscal\u00eda tiene muchos funcionarios comprometidos que logran a veces resultados muy valiosos. Pero en general el panorama de la investigaci\u00f3n criminal en Colombia es malo: por ejemplo, el sistema penal acusatorio ha funcionado bien para las flagrancias, pero los otros casos dif\u00edcilmente llegan a imputaci\u00f3n, lo cual significa que quedan en una fase investigativa (la indagaci\u00f3n), que no tiene t\u00e9rminos ni mayor control.<\/p>\n<p>La situaci\u00f3n tampoco es buena frente a la criminalidad organizada, como el narcotr\u00e1fico o las redes de corrupci\u00f3n, y los \u201ccr\u00edmenes de sistema\u201d, esto es, las atrocidades cometidas no por individuos aislados sino por aparatos de terror, como los paramilitares o las guerrillas. Algunas unidades especializadas de la Fiscal\u00eda han avanzado en el dise\u00f1o de estrategias m\u00e1s sistem\u00e1ticas frente a estos cr\u00edmenes y eso es positivo; pero muchos fiscales siguen investigando estos delitos en forma reactiva y aislada, como si fueran un hecho pasional, por lo cual, en el mejor de los casos, las investigaciones logran se\u00f1alar a los autores materiales, pero no avanzan m\u00e1s all\u00e1.<\/p>\n<p>La nueva Fiscal tiene entonces que dise\u00f1ar una estrategia global de investigaci\u00f3n que racionalice los recursos limitados de la entidad y logre resultados frente a los cr\u00edmenes de sistema y la criminalidad organizada. S\u00f3lo as\u00ed evitar\u00edamos un posible colapso de la investigaci\u00f3n penal.<\/p>\n<p>Algunos podr\u00edan objetar que mi visi\u00f3n es tremendista y que la situaci\u00f3n no es tan mala. Ojal\u00e1 as\u00ed sea. Pero lo cierto es que no hay forma de resolver la controversia, pues no hay buena informaci\u00f3n sobre la Fiscal\u00eda. Y eso tiene que ver con el tercer desaf\u00edo de la nueva Fiscal y es la necesidad de aumentar la transparencia y la rendici\u00f3n de cuentas de la entidad. Hasta ahora la instituci\u00f3n ha sido muy reacia a dejarse evaluar. Obtener informaci\u00f3n sobre su funcionamiento es muy dif\u00edcil y eso es grave, pues impide que haya diagn\u00f3sticos serios sobre el sistema penal, lo cual dificulta un debate democr\u00e1tico informado sobre la pol\u00edtica criminal.<\/p>\n<p>La sola elecci\u00f3n de una mujer como Fiscal General es ya un avance significativo para la equidad de g\u00e9nero. Pero Viviane Morales debe mostrar que ese hecho tiene adem\u00e1s implicaciones pr\u00e1cticas en la gesti\u00f3n de la entidad. El cuarto reto es entonces que la Fiscal\u00eda incorpore en todos sus niveles y labores una verdadera perspectiva de g\u00e9nero, para que, por ejemplo, haya avances reales en la investigaci\u00f3n de cr\u00edmenes ignorados, como la violencia sexual en el conflicto armado.<\/p>\n<p>Viviane Morales har\u00eda un aporte muy significativo a nuestra precaria democracia si logra que la Fiscal\u00eda sea m\u00e1s independiente y transparente y cuente con una estrategia de investigaci\u00f3n coherente y sensible al g\u00e9nero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viviane Morales will not have much time to celebrate her election as Attorney General since the challenges she will have to face are varied and difficult.
