We
will always have Oslo
The columnist
writes that the army seldom takes sides with democracy. Genetic issue He is
also right when he says that the multitude, sooner or later, returns to his
home, and I agree with him that where the
crowd can be most effective is when deployed tactically against a specific,
winnable goal.
However,
this journalist enumerates a series of historical facts on which to lean to
come to say that the crowd is of little use to change a regime. If Mr Jenkins
has some episodes (Tiananmen, Tahir, Taksim ...) that reinforce the relative or
null importance that people had on the street, I could provide twice as many
cases in which the presence of men and women reciting a wish —with dead people
included—achieved reforms and obtained some rights that otherwise would not
have been achieved.
In
my opinion, the great mistake of Juan Guaidó,
was to misinterpret the position of the army. The great majority, if not all,
of the Venezuelan military commanders continue to breathe a romantic, a
nineteenth-century Bolivarian spirit,
to which we must add a salary well above the national average.
The horde
has a limited time to go out into the street and if the optimum moment of that
push is not used, the illusions deflate as quickly as they formed.
