Liberal democracy – representative – based on electoral practices extended to all and containing certain paradigms was defined by Robert Dhall as polyarchy in 1968, mutated after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the USSR, processes accelerated by the phenomenon of globalization that connected the world in time real creating a significant interdependence that gave rise to the information revolution without any filter or control.

Without internal solidarity and with a young man with good intentions, begins the first management in our history, 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, died in a butt lift operation in Colombia. , had 12 million followers.

President Abinader himself – recently – after meeting with traditional media directors, held a pleasant meeting with the “influencers”, who today are the most dynamic propagators of information on the web: When a newspaper, after analyzing the veracity From a published information, it took a walk around the world on the web where anyone uploads them, without any criminal or civil liability, without any verification of authenticity.

In this new reality, the Government has initiated criminal proceedings against former officials and family members for alleged acts of corruption: The network is a “court of people who condemn by acclamation”, whether guilty or innocent, because it generates a fear justified in all, because in it there are well-meaning people, simple, crazy and blackmailing anti-systems and, the voice of all joins from the stands demanding the death penalty, even if it is moral and civil, exerting a remarkable pressure.

It is true that the first convicts are opponents whose bad behavior places them in the spotlight as an object of public anger, it is possible to believe that it can be obtained as a benefit that, themselves, those who hold positions today feel intimidated and lead them. to a better behavior: But this fear can lead many to paralysis, because in the state any decision affects the interests and everyone likes it, it is impossible.

The activity of civil servants in a social and democratic state of rights, citizens can and should control it; It is controlled, as dictated by the Constitution in Article 139 by the courts, leaving it to the network was an error that will significantly affect government enforcement actions: it is easier to charge a gossip than to sue .

Democracy in a state, as defined in Article 7 of the Constitution, has its institutions and has the means to control them and their agents: We hope that 2021 will bring renewed spirits, so that President Abinader will lead his way and Keep the country away from screams and riots that cause injustice and instability.
