DEMOCRACY

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy

Democracy is a form of government in which all people have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. Ideally, this includes equal (and more or less direct) participation in the proposal, development and passage of legislation into law. It can also encompass social, economic and cultural conditions that enable the free and equal practice of political self-determination. The term comes from the Greek: δημοκρατία – (dēmokratía) "rule of the people",^[1] which was coined from δῆμος (dêmos) "people" and κράτος (Kratos) "power", in the middle of the 5th-4th century BC to denote the political systems then existing in some Greek city-states, notably Athens following a popular uprising in 508 BC.^[2]

According to some theories of democracy, popular sovereignty is the founding principle of such a system.^[3] However, the democratic principle has also been expressed as "the freedom to call something into being which did not exist before, which was not given… and which therefore, strictly speaking, could not be known."^[4] This type of freedom, which is connected to human "natality," or the capacity to begin anew, sees democracy as "not only a political system… [but] an ideal, an aspiration, really, intimately connected to and dependent upon a picture of what it is to be human—of what it is a human should be to be fully human."^[5]

While there is no specific, universally accepted definition of 'democracy',^[6] equality and freedom have both been identified as important characteristics of democracy since ancient times.^[7] These principles are reflected in all citizens being equal before the law and having equal access to legislative processes. For example, in a representative democracy, every vote has equal weight, no unreasonable restrictions can apply to anyone seeking to become a representative, and the freedom of its citizens is secured by legitimized rights and liberties which are generally protected by a constitution

“López Mendoza Leopoldo Eduardo. This person is politically disqualified.”

I was met with this brief yet emphatic message from the National Electoral Council on August 5, 2008, as I attempted to register my candidacy for Caracas Metropolitan Mayor. According to all polls at the time, I was a clear favorite to win the election for Venezuela’s second most important political post.

Hundreds of other Venezuelans have also seen their names placed on these lists, depriving them of the opportunity to participate in public affairs, for arbitrary and political reasons. Still today, approximately 300 opposition leaders are administratively “disqualified” from holding any public office.

After many long, hard years of struggle, I will now—finally—have the opportunity to defend my case. On March 1 and 2, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in San José, Costa Rica will decide if the government of Venezuela violated my political rights, violated the Venezuelan Constitution, and violated the American Convention on Human Rights. Previously, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) concurred with my arguments. Thereafter, the case was promoted to the hemisphere’s highest court to demand that the Venezuelan State respect its domestic and international obligations and fully restore my right to participate in public life.

At long last, my case will be heard by an independent court and I will be given the opportunity to defend my innocence with the weight and force of facts and evidence; something I was never permitted to do in my own country.

The upcoming trial is relevant beyond my particular case. Of even greater consequence is the fact that the Court’s decision will serve as an important judicial precedent. First of all, such a precedent would benefit many Venezuelan political leaders who have also been disqualified in recent years.

Additionally and most importantly, such a ruling would prevent the Venezuelan State from future use of this “disqualification strategy”, including the potential barring of promising leaders and candidates prior to 2012 regional and presidential elections.

Today, Venezuelan democracy is in jeopardy. What makes my case particular significant is that it is a symptom of a more serious threat: the progressive degradation of democracy and the consistent violation of human rights currently facing Venezuelans.

My call is urgent; one voice representing the great yet silent Venezuelan majority that has been paralyzed by fear. Afraid to speak out. Afraid to leave their homes. Afraid to disagree or make demands. That majority, however, longs for a different country; one that I can see in the very near future.

I imagine a Venezuela that is not afraid, but joyful, safe, optimistic, tolerant and progressive. I envision a Venezuela that promotes equality and social inclusion, with a government that helps its people rather than terrifying them. I see a Venezuela that cannot be ignored, that cannot be silenced.

On any given day in Venezuela, one can see government abuse and violation of this majority that I am part of (expropriation, arbitrary detention, blackmail, threats, illegal fines and political tax scrutiny, authoritarian legislation, corruption, discrimination, political disqualification, etc.). Just look at the how President Hugo Chávez ended 2010, aquiring “rule by decree” powers from the outgoing lame duck National Assembly for a full 18 months. By doing so, effectively bypasses the legislative authority of the new more plural parliament, over which he no longer exercises absolute control.

One can also look to the hundreds of young people who went on hunger strike this month, demanding the release of political prisoners held by the government. “Sitting in” outside the Caracas headquarters of the Organization of American States (OAS) and several foreign embassies, the protesters demanded the government grant permission for an OAS mission to visit Venezuela.

On any given day, testimonies of government abuse can be seen and heard at marches across Venezuela; protests against rampant insecurity, expropriations and new limitations on the autonomy of public universities.

Most Venezuelans are tired of their president “of many masks”. They are tired of having a president who is received as “colorful” by many Latin American governments and citizens. Despite his jovial presentation, what is happening in Venezuela is no joke. Venezuelans have a government that is merely masquerading as democracy while implementing an authoritarian, strongman (“caudillo”) system of governance.

The Venezuelan State is weaving a complex political and socioeconomic web, explicitly designed to maintain its hold on power for decades to come. Despite the will of millions of Venezuelans, the State intends to convert my country into a “socialist nation”, where dissidents are declared “enemies to the death” in a permanent and unevenly-matched battle to protect the privileges of power.

Given the circumstances, however, the ranks are growing among those tired of a government based on trickery and deceit. Every day, more and more Chávez supporters become disenchanted with the government’s supposed Utopia. Every day, our majority grows; a new majority without fear and prepared to defend freedom in the face of arbitrary persecution, democracy in the face of authoritarianism, and hope in the face of darkness.

Note: Leopoldo López is the founder of The People’s Will (Voluntad Popular) grassroots movement and political party.
