Mutilación de la legislatura: cómo la Constitución vigente viola y restringe derechos políticos fundamentales en el funcionamiento de la Asamblea Nacional

No es ninguna novedad constatar que en los últimos años, la Constitución y las leyes han sido aprobadas con muy escaso debate, con procedimientos sumarios y con la acción de una mayoría gubernamental muy poco dispuesta a oír siquiera las posturas ajenas. También resulta claro que no ha habido fiscalización de las acciones del gobierno en la Legislatura. No se ha censurado un ministro. En realidad, ninguno siquiera ha llegado al pleno de la Asamblea Nacional para juicio político en todos estos años. Todo intento de enjuiciamiento ha terminado invariablemente en el archivo. Las explicaciones de este hecho han sido diversas. Los sostenedores del gobierno han argumentado que los antiguos procedimientos de la partidocracia han sido superados con nuevas formas democráticas de legislación y fiscalización. Los opositores han culpado al abuso de las autoridades legislativas, a la dictadura de la mayoría, a los malos procedimientos de tal o cual comisión. Sin que se desconozca la existencia de responsabilidades personales, en algunos casos evidentes, esta realidad obedece a una situación más de fondo, que no es otra que la vigencia de una Constitución y un sistema legal diseñado en Montecristi para limitar y negar derechos fundamentales. Es decir, para lo contrario que se supone la actual legislación existe, ya que se destaca su carácter “garantista”. Pero la verdad es que no es así.
