La semilla del Principio Democr\u00e1tico en nuestro continente se remonta a la creaci\u00f3n de la Organizaci\u00f3n de Estados Americanos (OEA). La organizaci\u00f3n tuvo como aspiraci\u00f3n, en su Carta en el a\u00f1o 1948, el\u00a0ejercicio efectivo de la democracia representativa como forma de organizaci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica de los Estados americanos.\u00a0\u200bEn la Declaraci\u00f3n de Santiago (1959) se dieron los lineamientos m\u00ednimos que la democracia representativa ha de tener y c\u00f3mo se vincula ella con el ejercicio de los DD.HH. Ya con el Protocolo de Cartagena (1985) se fij\u00f3 a la promoci\u00f3n y protecci\u00f3n de la democracia representativa como prop\u00f3sito esencial de la organizaci\u00f3n (es decir, la OEA, sus \u00f3rganos y sus miembros). Este inclaudicable objetivo se sofistic\u00f3 con el\u00a0Compromiso de Santiago en Democracia y la Renovaci\u00f3n del Sistema Interamericano (1991), la resoluci\u00f3n 1080 (1991), el Protocolo de Washington (1992) y la Carta Democr\u00e1tica Interamericana (2001).<\/p>\n
En el proceso de redacci\u00f3n y adopci\u00f3n de todos y cada uno de esos instrumentos, participaron tanto Argentina como Venezuela. No podemos dejar pasar (porque es un compromiso legal pero, ante todo, un compromiso moral) la evidente violaci\u00f3n del Principio Democr\u00e1tico que nuestra regi\u00f3n ha alumbrado para proteger la fragilidad de la elecci\u00f3n de la democracia como forma de vida de la cual somos testigos desde el 28 de julio del a\u00f1o pasado.<\/p>\n
Tal como la OEA sostuvo en 1984, el imperio de la ley, la separaci\u00f3n de poderes, elecciones libres, libertad de prensa y de expresi\u00f3n, entre otros, es bueno recordar en tiempos donde parece resurgir en algunos gobernantes la idea de su reelecci\u00f3n indefinida, que esta resoluci\u00f3n ya se\u00f1alaba que la perpetuaci\u00f3n en el poder, o el ejercicio de este sin plazo determinado y con manifiesto prop\u00f3sito de perpetuaci\u00f3n, son incompatibles con el ejercicio efectivo de la democracia representativa.<\/p>\n
30 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s sigue tan (o a\u00fan m\u00e1s) vigente como entonces. La voluntad popular no puede ser burlada tan burdamente. La oposici\u00f3n pol\u00edtica no debe ser perseguida ni la disidencia silenciada. Dentro de la ley todo\u2026 fuera de ella, nada. Por ello es que \u201caturde el silencio del Progresismo\u201d en nuestra regi\u00f3n, m\u00e1s teniendo en cuenta nuestra tr\u00e1gica historia con las dictaduras militares (a las que cre\u00edmos, ingenuamente, desterradas). No hagamos caso omiso. Ni hoy, ni nunca.<\/p>\n
