Insensatos
Como colombiana pensante con cierto grado de educación, siento que es mi deber ejercer una crítica firme, responsable y argumentada frente al Gobierno. Mi pensar apunta a la mala gestión de quienes están en el poder, así como a la peligrosa ligereza con que parte de la ciudadanía izquierdosa insiste en calificarla como exitosa.
TL;DR
- The author expresses a duty to critically evaluate the government due to perceived mismanagement and dangerous complacency from some citizens.
- The country faces contradictions between official promises of transformation and the reality of improvisation, lack of execution, and institutional weakening.
- Reforms have been characterized by confusion rather than positive results, leading to distrust among businesspeople, fear among taxpayers, deterioration of healthcare, increased debt, and economic instability.
- Insecurity has increased, the cost of living is rising, investment is slowing due to uncertainty, and relationships with key sectors and countries are deteriorating.
- The government is accused of dividing the country into 'good' and 'bad' and lacking technical capacity, consensus-building, and fiscal responsibility.
- The author criticizes the uncritical support for the government, suggesting it stems from disinformation, fanaticism, or ignorance rather than conviction.
- Complacency from citizens is identified as a historical ally of bad governments in Colombia.
- Citizens have an obligation to evaluate their leaders rigorously, not with blind faith, and democracy is defended by demanding results, not repeating slogans.
- Presidential candidates are urged to focus on proposals for the people rather than attacking the current president.
