As has come to be normal every four years, the idea of \u200b\u200bforming an electoral alliance that brings together major political forces and various social progressives who oppose the prevailing neoliberal model, re-emerge and wander around the collective imagination.
The level of discourse is very clear: everyone wants the alliance, everyone wants to join, all are clear that this is the way to oust the political groups to join without being very Claron on one point: supporting the model reestructutración state and national economy.
As is common and, for this new electoral process re-emerging proposals: open conventions, agreements, patriotic, broad coalitions ... However, after a couple of months of euphoria unionist and a couple of meetings of the leaders involved, the result is the same: no deal to form an alliance.
As has been the Latin American history, the big mistake of the political forces of left and center-left has been the constant division, the eternal fragmentation. Costa Rica does not remain outside this process, beyond the odd coalition achieved by Rodrigo Carazo (with sectors of the Center and highly conservative forces, but it was clear that the only way to defeat National Liberation), all subsequent attempts have been a complete failure.
Ultimately, the main problem is that although there is basic agreement on the model of country we want, on the main problems to face, on the need to build an opposition victory options on the importance of rebuilding a new balance of political forces, on the importance of channel and prosecute all those efforts in October 2007 showed together is almost as strong as the other side of the sidewalk; insurmountable barriers stand again: everyone wants the coalition as long as I'm the leader, everyone wants the union if it is around me, everyone wants the alliance if it is under my banner predominant.
Thus, vanities, ambitions, pretensions, delusions personalistic, prior commitments, become major obstacles to an agreement only in the speech has put the country first.
So, again we see for the election next February, the forces opposed to the current development model, instead of adding votes to become a solid option with the potential to win, is atomized into various groups and factions that will only split the vote and thereby facilitate the continuity, with the aggravation that this fragmentation will involve not only the loss of the executive, but will probably mean that the threshold of subquotient will move away for various groups, facilitating the arrival of Members with minimum waste, but enough to give a majority to the group as a paint-a things-will become winner.
Chile was necessary in a dictatorship of seventeen years to the Coalition ... Uruguay dictatorships were necessary and long processes of dialogue to achieve the Broad Front ... What is needed here?
