That we our country. An economic dictatorship.
Trevijano Garcia: "No democracy in Spain but in Europe there is no"
The founder of the Democratic Board ensures that political freedom is kidnapped by state parties, "only agents of the monopoly of representation"
F. FRANCO - VIGO
"No democracy in Spain but also in Europe, except in Switzerland. True democracy requires at least a separation of powers and a government representative of society, not parties. We have individual liberty but civil liberties because there is no collective freedoms and collective freedom or is there or not. " As plain as manifested yesterday in the Club FARO's lawyer, founder of the Democratic Board thinker Antonio García Trevijano Republican, in a talk on "The Republic and the overcoming of the crisis." Presented by Alfonso Álvarez-Gándara, Dean of the Bar of Vigo, who made a sketch on his life and thought and congratulated him for his efforts as "republic" on republic and crisis was also blunt. "If you put up a real republic "He said, the first day would eliminate the expense of a 10 per cent of GDP by eliminating subsidies to political parties, unions, politicians annuities, expenses of the monarchy ..." Freedom . "The current voters say there is freedom," says Trevijano. But what freedom is that which allows only state to vote for parties whose lists of candidates are imposed, the elect are subject to party discipline and the voters lack the ability to remove them? Is it worth voting for corrupt party and collectively choose a list of people who, if they wanted, they could not defend the interests of those the vote, because they are under the imperative mandate of the party leader who makes them? ". Failure
. "The reasons for the failure of moral, political and cultural development of States Parties, he says, are congenital and institutional. The cause is due to two crucial facts: no collective political freedom and lack of representation of society to the state. Political freedom is held hostage by the state parties, only agents and managers of the political monopoly of representation (of themselves), behaved in the proportional party lists. " Oligarchs
. To Trevijano, which collects all his thought In his latest book, "Pure Theory of the Republic" (editorial The Dumb Ox), formal democracy is not synonymous with freedom. Rather, it can become so powerful oligarchy, corrupt and oppressive as little tyrannies. "Companies regularly come to the polls and vote," he says without apparent coercion, yet really know the value of political freedom. "
The core . In his view, the hinge of the policy lies in the mediation and representation. When both are abandoned because, in practice, the citizen has no real ability to choose their representatives (the elect others parties, which engulf the state), strictly speaking there can be no democracy.
French Revolution. A thesis Trevijano basis of thought is that there was a revolution as such, come under that label events very diverse and uncoordinated towards a common goal and conscious, and that in any case, it was a failure. Explains "the myth of the Bastille Day" as an incident rather than a revolution and argues that party politics (he says' party) appears already foreshadowed the French Revolution. "The failure of the same, he says, are the heirs of European societies at large, whose oligarchical systems are product after the Second World War, the transformation of one-party states nationalization of parties, holding under a formal break which makes it more effective, a real continuity of citizen homogenization mechanisms. The totalitarian state nationalize the single party. The military defeat of dictatorship abolished the single party, but instead of recognizing the plurality of parties in society, put them all in the state. Instead of the single party, several state parties united by consensus, several factions of a single block of state parties. " Trevijano front ranks of social democracy and liberalism against which variants would be complicit of the oligarchic regime.
