Recent years we have witnessed major changes in the Costa Rican political framework: development models that come in crisis, constitutional reforms that come "for the kitchen," loss of credibility and spaces in the traditional political parties, new emerging forces, an increasingly important role active part of civil society organizations and many others are part of the landscape in which we live every day.
traditional political actors seek to reposition itself in this space, however, before the breakdown of traditional bipartisanship Plus Car started that ended up being a monster with two heads, there have been times in repeated calls "crisis of governance." Founding of this discourse of lawlessness was Jose Maria Figueres-bad-who insisted that this country could not govern.
following Governments moved between failed attempts to "combos" and set up dummy-RodrÃguez, or shipped to Abel Pacheco.
Currently, the Arias brothers retake the discourse of lawlessness. Thus, our captain of a sinking ship has drawn attention to the "tired" of having to give an account of various acts of dubious reputation has asked "to be left to govern" and any act of opposition accuses of "obstructionism" to justify This limited capacity have been taken to build national and negotiate agreements with the various political factions in the country.
The other brother, echoed his captain's tired, take a step beyond the complaint, and thus, in addition to scold journalists, launches into the ring a proposal calling for the convening of a Constituent National Assembly. This should be known, principally, issues concerning the structure of the state. In this respect, directly requested the strengthening of the executive branch, extending its powers, and therefore, varying the balance of power towards a state where opposition forces would be minimized their ability to act.
presidential duo to the fraternal, those are desirable conditions for the planned return of the clan to power in 2014 (aspiration accepted by the minister today.)
However, the proposal to convene the executive does suffer from various ailments since birth: first, a proposal like this, who needs a broad national discussion, input will never be well received in an election year. Thus, criticism of the attempt to concentrate power to the president who announces the son of his own mother encounter rejection within the same party in power, for scaring away every week controversy that hit the little credibility that remains to various sectors government, stir it, they emerge more and more cases of corruption in the institutions of government becomes untenable and sell the idea that the solution is just to give executive more power to control and minimize space.
A second point where we can call into question that goes through a business opportunity: rather than send it as an initiative of the executive in times of national political polarization had convened a comprehensive national forum that would reach this conclusion. Remove the label "Arias" with the proposal now is to give some breathing space to see if he survives ... Unfortunately, the proposal reads like a ploy extended family over for the next guaranteed spaces that could not be enjoyed in this ...
A third point of debate has to do with the reserves in the project when it was announced that she would convene a constituent but would be committed not address issues of rights and guarantees (individual and social). And is that a fully sovereign Constituent Assembly ... therefore it is announced that this issue will not be touched, can only generate mistrust, since there is no legal ability to enforce this commitment. The only reminder of the history of our present Constitution leads us to this point: was called to work with a draft constitution which was immediately discarded to fit on the basis of the Constitution of 1871. What could make the Executive at the time? For absolutely nothing else to submit to the will of the constituent body.
this sense, the strategic blunder that has had so far, could seriously question: Is there or is there delegitimization lawlessness and loss of government authority?
you born dead the possibility of this call? It seems that if not dead, another with little chance in the short term ... But rescuing the positive, open space initiative to start a national debate on the state model we want as if something hit the Dynamic Duo Zapote is that the Costa Rican government is in need of structural reforms.
