| By Héctor Yunes Landa is debate in the federal congress but also in public policy reform. In this regard, there are voices that express once again what is included is insufficient, others will recognize big progress. What is certain is that our country requires comprehensive reforms to both the political apparatus, and the system of representation and political participation. should be reformed relationship between the different institutions of the State, as an example of this, should be reviewed the relationship between the executive and legislative branches and between them and the judiciary. Similarly, it is essential to update the list of the Federation with the states, on issues such as taxation, security and many others and, in turn, the relationship of entities with their municipalities. All this only within the national state itself. addition, the State, as representative of public authority, needs to rethink its relationship with society, ie the community of men and women who represent and constitute the foundation of their existence. A key aspect is to discuss how much society involved in the affairs of state, ie how much is involved in policy decisions, or seen from the other side, how much interaction encourages the State citizens in public affairs. Currently, it can be said that citizenship is far from the state and its concrete representation is the government. While calls for citizens to participate in the electoral process, after decisions are reserved to the discretion of the high bureaucratic spheres. So when the state can not address or resolve the problems, the city, rightly assumed that the problem is not his but the government. The government only succeeds when the company participates and supports the action and implementation of policy decisions. latter is vital to public life and exacts its greatest relevant when President Felipe Calderón, in his capacity as head of state, is calling for social participation and that every citizen assume at least a supporting role in what the government is doing in the fight against drug trafficking without But this position has a clear reading, once again, only seeks to involve the public when the state reaches its limit and can not handle the problems. Therefore, political parties must strive for all public institutions are open to the public, to encourage their active participation. Of course, the first to promote this openness should be the parties themselves since they are the legally established through the expression of different voices in society and, so far, in pursuance of the public. Opening to society means promoting genuine participation of citizens in the internal life of the party, in its decisions and in position to take in each of the issues that concern the public life of the nation. In particular, it aims to promote and foster a genuine culture policy based on civility, but also the critical and the need for governments and parties involved really effective and the best causes of Mexico. And this may well begin with the democratization of internal party processes, but also play our role to know in depth the issues that concern society, and the analysis of these, to formulate our proposals and programs political action. That should be the clear direction of the parties, the people's real problems, every city, every neighborhood, district or village. Of course this implies a critical and participatory citizen, and would go against the illegitimate interests of many party leaders. For our part, I think we should, and we must start with our own membership. The party is not owned by anyone, activists and managers are part of it but the parties are institutions of public interest and therefore subject to the scrutiny of society. Therefore, the parties insist that we must open our doors to all of society, so that those who identify with the principles of one or another political force, have access to forums where their voices are heard and proposals to the attention demands being a citizen of this country. This is what many people think, so that to advance we must listen and proceed to contribute to the urgent institutional redesign required by the Mexican State. We have to conclude and unfinished political transition that is impeding our progress as a nation. If now is debating the merits of citizen applications and popular initiatives is simply because the parties and governments that arise from them are not representing the true interests of the people. why, or we start to work seriously to overcome the shortage is the political class and society, or will soon be overtaken by a society that is tired of the verbiage, lawsuits and vain promises . The problem is that if the parties are exceeded there would be a wide dispersion of political power, while deepening democracy, is also a risk because the state can be infiltrated by very dark interests, in addition to further complicate the political and legislative process. And hopefully be able to excel games before falling behind by civil society disappointed. |
