Abinader: The Dangers of Audience Democracy

A few days after the start of the current government, before the general rejection, the government reversed the taxes included in the new general law on public expenditure, shortly afterwards the Minister of Youth, without receiving salary, was forced off To act because of problems with his asset declaration – which they could attribute to 90% of the cabinet without tax amnesty – and now in the networks the dismissal of Peña Guaba is being requested for administrative errors; the pressure on the networks is starting to question everything, often without compelling reasons: this is because this government chose to lead the country through a democracy of public, as developed by Bernan Mannin at the end of the last century.

Liberal -representative- democracy based on electoral practices extended to everyone and with certain paradigms defined by Robert Dhall as a polyarchy in 1968, it underwent mutations after the fall of the Berlin wall or the disintegration of the USSR, accelerated processes due to the phenomenon of globalization that connected the world in real time and created a significant interdependence that gave way to the information revolution without any filter or control.

The political parties, institutions that created the popular will – and bridges of demands along with the unions, the so-called “living forces” that were nothing more than pressure groups and the NGOs, were also hit by mismanagement, fell into crisis.

In the DR we were no exception, the PRSC collapsed in 2002, the PRD in 2012 – the two oldest and most important parties became irrelevant – a process that the PLD started in 2019. The parties of notable people, protagonists of more than 70 years of history no longer exist, the PRM runs an organization with no history in which the former high marks of the organization that produced it are second and third line.

In the DR we were no exception, the PRSC collapsed in 2002, the PRD in 2012 – the two oldest and most important parties became irrelevant – a process that the PLD started in 2019. The parties of notable people, protagonists of more than 70 years of history, no longer exist, the PRM runs an organization with no history in which the former high marks of the organization that produced it are second and third lines.

Without internal solidarity and, with a young man, with good intentions, the first management in our history begins, which corresponds to a democracy of public opinion through the network, which decides on its basis, regardless of its whims and frivolities: Recently the Mexican, Joselyn Cano, during a butt lift operation in Colombia, which was based on uploading semi-nude photos and without including a single sentence about the homeland, the economy, social security or any area also of republican life, had 12 million followers.

President Abinader himself – recently – after meeting with the directors of traditional media, had a pleasant meeting with the “influencers”, who are today the most dynamic disseminators of information on the Internet: when a newspaper, after viewing the veracity of published information, it has gone around the world on the Internet where everyone uploads it, without any criminal or civil responsibility, without any verification of authenticity.

In the context of this new reality, the government has initiated criminal prosecution proceedings against former officials and family members for alleged corruption: the network is a “people’s court condemning by acclamation”, whether guilty or innocent, for that reason it generates a justifiable fear in all, because in it there are well-meaning people, simple anti-systems, lunatics and blackmailers and everyone’s voice joins the stands calling for the death penalty, even if it is moral and civil, which is a remarkable press.

It is true that the first to be convicted are the adversaries whose bad behavior puts them in the spotlight as an object of public anger, it is possible to think that the benefit can be obtained that those in office today feel intimidated and that leads them to better behavior: But this fear can also lead to paralysis for many, because in the state every decision touches the interests and to please everyone, it is impossible.

The president walks through the ways the Republic orders essentials for the country: many hang around the desk because officials fear taking administrative action, some out of fear and others out of incompetence.

If the resigned Kimberly, without signing a bypass or official letter, has left the government due to questions about situations prior to her appointment and has been placed in the eye of Hurricane Peña Guaba for doing what has been asked for weeks, even if she made a mistake. They have not defended any of them, not even their colleagues … fear of the network paralyzes the government, entangled in its own rope, kidnapped without knowing from whom.

Just as it was done in the “stage”, the state that wants to help the musicians is a help and the fault is not where it indicates Contracts, but in the fact that it was delivered to the directors and not directly to the musicians like it. should have been. ; officials cannot delegate their powers and responsibilities.

The work of government officials in a social and democratic state of rights, citizens can and should control it; It is checked as prescribed by the constitution in Article 139 through the courts, leaving it to the network has been a mistake that will significantly affect the enforcement actions of the government: it is easier to upload a gossip than to take the court of to turn to an authority.

Democracy in a state as defined in Article 7 of the constitution has its institutions and is considering the means to control them, them and their agents: hopefully 2021 will bring a new spirit so that President Abinader will lead us in his paths and, keep the country away from screams and riots that cause injustice and instability.
