Juan Manuel Santos is not the same as Alvaro Uribe and the Colombian people not yet understood. The differences between former and Current President surprised many skeptics who did not believe in a possible change for this nation. Today, the outlook for many seems to be different because the winds of change haunt the presidential palace.
It is therefore natural that the Colombians (including those who did not vote for Santos) have a sense of hope in a better country, even if paradoxically, over 70% was in the management of a lifeline Uribe a country which emerged from the ashes (of course!).
Accept than 70% ingenuity that has been tamed by a populist replicated by the official media, is a burden that must be loaded with the opposition sectors almost resignedly. But knowing that 30% is being seduced by shallow, as the masks of National Unity, is a symptom enough to turn the alarm policy in the new presidential term.
When columnists and senators, as Jorge Robledo, expressed at election time that the mandate of Juan Manuel Santos would be the continuity of Uribe's policies did not refer exactly to the protocol and good manners that were absent in eight years of the owner of Ubérrimo.
Despite this, minor changes observed in the early days of the new chief executive, are capable of changing the distrust founded 8 years ago, in a manner so simple that puts a big question mark over the true population of the political opposition Uribe.
Undoubtedly, the bulk of the "opposition" in Colombia is built on short-term basis and not convictions. The great example of this is the Liberal Party, who despite his many years of history and its apparent resistance to Uribe practices, decided to opt for being part of the grand coalition that will pass without problem any project (more absurd it is) of current government.
And even if the Liberals is not surprising, because it was the desperate measure of a movement that refuses to go to the archive of the bicentennial, it is inconceivable that the people agree to a change of mind so sudden.
were expected many of the events which now occupy an important place in the agenda. Of course, relations with the courts were going to fix! Of course he was going to restore diplomacy with Venezuela! Of course it was to desist from the communal councils! So why the excitement?
Todos estos cambios, hasta ahora, obedecen a cuestiones de forma y no de fondo ¿Entonces por qué pensar, de entrada, que a Colombia le esperan grandes reformas? ¿Por qué ilusionarse con un Congreso que resulta más proclive a ser manejado que el anterior? ¿Por qué soñar con el fin de la corrupción, cuando hay menos opositores reales?
La elegancia al vestir, la diplomacia y los buenos modales del nuevo Presidente son plausibles. Pero no representan ni el más mínimo cambio en el déficit económico, la alta tasa de desempleo, la concentración de la riqueza y las tierras, la violencia urbana, rural y el desplazamiento forzado.
And do not say the more optimistic than the embarrassing speech about problems the country has changed since Uribe never agreed with the murders committed by the armed forces or the persecution of the DAS, and succeeded anyway .
Colombian The real problems need real solutions that are clear of speech and pass the field purely factual. So it's not delude itself with trifles time occurred in the early days, because if that's what we have to send us, we must remember that Mr. Juan Manuel Santos gague still talking.
