have not gone unnoticed to many ideas in a recent opinion article appeared in the press, expressed Chaime Marcuello, professor at the University of Zaragoza, on growing fear of censor political power in our region. In that article, entitled "Symptoms disturbing," said that if you stand against those in power, you run the risk of vengeance fall upon you and your future. Do not allow the criticism and dissent, as would be expected in a plural system, free and democratic: if you mess with them, you keep it, and sooner or later you will bill. In this article, after appropriate analysis and examples, is called not to yield to the logic of fear.
seems that fear as an instrument of political domination characteristic of authoritarian systems, there have clearly visible example of Arab autocracies, crumbled when people lose their fear, "was a factor that unfortunately is part of the culture government in our region.
From this Association can not help but to agree with Professor Chaime Marcuello and share their concerns about the fate of our society, if achieved inoculated fear in their members and renounce freedom own citizens for fear of power. How can you be afraid to power in a democracy? "It could be more contradictory?
When this association was only a project, many, we believe that with sincere concern for our luck, we warned of the risk we ran, the dangers that threaten us, revenge and punishment that we would suffer for our exercise freedom, intolerable to the core of power installed in the Pignatelli. Never granted any credibility to such warnings, and that is a manifestation of the urgency to react to an environment increasingly away from democratic values \u200b\u200band demands, where the withdrawal walked right hand finding favor. Could we allow the moral of the public came to the point of abjection, without reacting?
We are aware of the area of \u200b\u200bfreedom that this partnership represents within the Administration of the Autonomous Region and that its existence is not only an exercise of citizenship within the Administration, but in the whole of society. Public servants-to the surprise of many, we are the first to react against abuses of power and corruption of the Government of Aragon, denouncing, for example, the misuse of jobs to the Attorney General's Office or denouncing the president, Marcelino Iglesias, by violating the fundamental right of petition. We are committed to ending the culture of impunity in our institutions and to show that it should exercise its own freedom of citizens of the rule of law, demanding explanations and accountability to those applying measures to govern or those who represent us in Cortes de Aragón.
is to reject not only the fear-which is often invoked as a justification for inaction, but to say that a democracy requires citizens and public servants and civic courage, willing to defend the respect for the law, willing to enforce their rights and censor those inappropriate governance practices of a society of free citizens, willing to work for the dignity of all and the first requisite of the dignity of a person is not to yield to the threat or reprisal, explicit or latent for exercising their rights.
The only fear that has to exist in a democracy is the citizen or ruler who violates the laws of coexistence, which betrays the trust of citizens abusing the power that has been given to serve the public interest. Only fear can dignify that as a society, a fear that one to replace the current culture of impunity that is practiced by a large part of our political class.
