Hoy se cumplen 23 años de la muerte de Balaguer y aunque el velorio duró tres días y ya el cuerpo mostraba signos de deterioro que los reformistas evitaban se mostraran al público, no hay duda de que desde el folklor del entierro físico hasta por las discusiones por la herencia política el alma de Balaguer debe seguir en pena.Yo no puedo olvidar la jornada porque fue el día en que más hablé en mi vida.La transmisión del entierro con Pepe Goico delante de la cureña que llevaba el cuerpo del líder, ha sido sin duda la más larga de la historia dominicana. 13 horas hasta que Alexis Joaquín hizo prevaler su condición de hijo para pronunciar un discurso que escuchó una familia agotada y un público de borrachos y periodistas más que cansados hartos.En esas 13 horas de transmisión se habló de todo lo habido y se especuló de lo por haber. Pero quedó claro que Balaguer igual que no reconoció hijos no reconoció herederos políticos y su partido se fue con él.Hay gente que habla de las ideas ideas Balaguer, que no son tales porque la única idea de Balaguer era estar en el poder y lo propio compartían sus seguidores que se han dividido para estar en el poder con todos los gobiernos desde el 96 hasta la fecha.El  balaguerismo no ha podido ser expulsado del imaginario nacional aunque le ocurre algo peor se diluye en la miasma de su práctica política. De vez en cuando escuchamos al gordito de Jarabacoa o a Quique Antún hablar de Balaguer a pesar de que hay una generación que no tiene porqué conocer de su anciano líder.El Partido Reformista existe como sigla para la negociación y se dice que hay una garata por el único bien físico que le queda que es su local.Hay poca gente que se diga reformista lo que asociado al quinto lugar que le ha puesto la JCE en una posible boleta electoral deja poco que ver. Ni el redondeo de Rogelio retomará la grasa a los reformistas, que como ya dije simplemente se diluyen.Pero el clientelismo sigue y crece, la corrupción que se paraba en la puerta de su despacho sigue y la idea de la modernidad y el cambio está reducida como hace 30 años a los edificios y las avenidas.

Ayer, en el patio, no conocíamos por qué la empresa del señor Jochi Gomez había quedado fuera de la licitación para la nueva cédula en un proceso abierto en el que 19 empresas habían evidenciado interés.La primera información conocida es que tres de las empresas que inicialmente mostraron interés no se presentaron a la licitación y al depósito de sobres con sus respectivas ofertas.Un delegado de partido es la única fuente para determinar la razón verdadera de la ausencia de un grupo en el que Gómez necesariamente es protagonista dado su experiencia en las licitaciones públicas. Ya conocemos el caso de DEKOLOR  que tiene el contrato de las licencias de conducir y que obtuvo con éxito otro contrato en el ministerio de defensa que según varios medios le permitía importaciones de equipos de seguridad que estaban restringidos a la política de seguridad nacional.Nuestras fuentes indican que en  Intrant los participantes se pasaron de contentos y por eso terminó en lo ya conocido. La rescisión del contrato de Defensa y el derrotero del caso Intrant dejan al grupo, del que Gómez es la cara visible, sin acceso a informaciones privilegiadas y fuentes privilegiadas.Como empresa que tiene más de una década emitiendo un documento, que tiene acceso a la base de datos del registro civil como es la licencia de conducir, DEKOLOR intentó participar en una licitación más que millonaria para la nueva cédula.Pero este día, como decían en un programa de radio, la JCE impuso una cláusula que decanta a los participantes que o se consorcian o quedan fuera.La cláusula es simple y se ha usado muchas veces: Experiencia de éxito. En un mundo en el que con dinero se puede todo o casi todo, la experiencia exitosa es una barrera para el tigueraje que o se consorcia o queda fuera.DEkolor no pudo presentar una experiencia de éxito y como no podía no acudió a la presentación de ayer.

Cada voto a favor del señor Miguel Vargas Maldonado en el pasado proceso electoral nos costó unos 52, 631 pesos. El Partido Revolucionario Domincano, propiedad de Vargas recibió 1008 millones de pesos por su condición de partido mayoritario al igual que el PRM, el PLD y la FP.El año pasado la JCE distribuyó 5,041 millones de pesos entre los partidos políticos y con ello se estableció un record en la financiación de la actividad política.Los reformistas habían salido de la grasa hace ya cuatro años cuando para seguir guisando como partido mayoritario con acceso al 80% de los fondos el hoy senador de La Vega propuso el redondeo.La financiación de los partidos fue promovida como un mecanismo de control y para evitar el ingreso de dinero ilícito en la vida política, pero de nada ha servido.Después de la aprobación de la ley electoral en 1997 y hasta el año pasado los partidos han recibido más de 28 mil millones de pesos. Si todos los años hubieran recibido lo mismo sería una media de 950 millones por año, pero la ley establece diferencias entre años electorales y no electorales y hay que recordar la unificación de las elecciones a partir del 2006. La cantidad de dinero sin embargo sigue siendo 28 mil millones.Ese río de dinero no ha mejorado la democracia ni la cualificación de la participación política. Tampoco ha evitado la intrusión del narcolavado y ha permitido la creación de la bancada de los riferos y los guagueros en el congreso y los ayuntamientos.En cada proceso aumenta el número de negociantes locales que ingresan a la política con la anuencia de los partidos.Uno no sabe en que se gasta ese dinero fuera de los años electorales en que salen a la caza de votos para mantener su empresa pero no es en formación.El PRM guarda las formas porque el mes pasado anunció la graduación de 788 de sus miembros en la gerencia electoral en su instituto Peña Gómez, los demás no sabemos.Además del instituto Peña Gómez, el único esfuerzo conocido para la formación política de jóvenes lo impulsó la malquerida USAID que en el 2005 creó un consorcio integrado por Participación Ciudadana, INTEC y UNIBE para formar a más de mil jóvenes de los distintos partidos.Alguien deberá revisar el esquema que ha deteriorado la política, ha producido un liderazgo escaso y sin discurso que ni siquiera se ha dado cuenta de la población está harta y cada vez acude menos a los procesos electorales.El porcentaje de la cantidad total de personas que no fueron a las urnas en las elecciones presidenciales del 2024 es el más grande de los últimos ocho procesos electorales, según los datos registrados desde 1996 a la fecha. Una abstención mayor que la que nos dejó el covid.Insisto que el esquema se está agotando y sus beneficiarios no se dan cuenta.

El gobierno y la oposición rara vez están de acuerdo, de hecho en ocasiones asumen posiciones irracionales en interés, sobre todo opositor, de sacar capital político de algunas medidas. A pesar de una inversión publicitaria que supera todas las anteriores en favor de los espacios de prensa que fueron creados por y en la era del PLD, en comunicación el gobierno siempre ha estado a la defensiva. Por eso sorprende el acuerdo y la tranquilidad con que los representantes de los partidos mayoritarios encabezados por el oficialista PRM y escoltado por PLD y FP. Es más que evidente que la decisión del constitucional amerita cambios en la ley de régimen electoral y para los que controlan el congreso eso no sería una dificultad. El tema, según me dice un cabo, es que los tres grandes están de acuerdo en que no le convienen los independientes porque puede salir un alacrán de cualquier yagua vieja y matar el control del sistema de partidos, pero no están de acuerdo en cómo abordar la situación. La visita de ayer era para dejar en manos de la JCE el problema o la preocupación del abordaje de las candidaturas independientes.  Ya los partidos han dejado claro que los independientes deben arroparse con su sábana y que quedarían fuera del financiamiento, tal como está la ley eso  automático, pero el descrédito no reconocido de los partidos sobre todo en comunidades pequeñas pueden provocar un sangrado que ellos no quieren que llegue a hemorragia. En fin, una parte de la población todavía ni siquiera sabe que hay una enfermedad que se llama candidaturas independientes pero la partidocracia tradicional que tiene miedo está buscando una vacuna con tiempo.

A classic holiday episode of the JCE podcast looks at the value and importance of holidays, remembers a hero you never heard of and gives thanks for our listeners.

En los mentideros políticos se dice que los honorables legisladores presionados por la opinión pública sacrificaron sólo  a tres miembros de la JCE y dejarán a dos. Hace unas semanas les dije que reuniones particulares de comisionados con aspirantes no hacían bien al proceso ni garantizaban transparencia, pero entre algunos legisladores no hacer eso es no tener poder. Los legisladores de todos los partidos disfrutan esas negociaciones en las que saben que pueden decidir quién ocupa una posición o no. Este año tuvimos un proceso electoral sin sobresaltos, se gastó mucho dinero de manera innecesaria porque los partidos son un barril sin fondo y son intocables. Recibieron 5 mil millones de pesos, los últimos 2, 500 a días de las elecciones. La organización de los procesos electorales para los tres niveles costó 8 mil millones. Eso significa que tenemos una democracia cara pero es la nuestra y no es cara por la Junta sino por la grasa que necesitan los partidos. A esta JCE que es la primera con diversidad de formación, porque hay personas con formación diferente al derecho hay que reconocerle la idoneidad con que manejaron el proceso. La mejor evidencia de ese trabajo está en los pocos expedientes y quejas que se convirtieron en demandas al Tribunal Superior Electoral. El loro viejo no aprende a hablar y el perro huevero aunque le quemen el hocico. El aparato político en el congreso repite los errores como si se tratara de una tarea escolar.

Hace tres meses que formalmente La Vega no tiene alcalde tras la salida de su titular para ser ministro de Deportes y la renuncia forzada de la vicealcaldesa. Ayer la JCE dijo que estudia varias propuestas y el gobierno no ha podido dar respuesta al vacío legal en torno a la situación. Ayer varios profesionales consideraron que la doble designación de Carlos Pimentel genera un conflicto de intereses que está establecido en las disposiciones que crean las dos posiciones públicas que ahora ocupa en compras y contrataciones y Alianzas Público-privada. También ayer un grupo protestó por la designación del ex diputado Elías Báez, famoso por su post diciendo que estaba “Armao, bebío y con cuarto” en la dirección de defensa del afiliado de la seguridad social. Los críticos entienden que una persona que ha insistido en denostar a las mujeres no debe ocupar una posición como la DIDA. En varios medios aparece la renuncia de la economista Rosa Cañete hasta ahora viceministra de Economía, Planificación y Desarollo.  Hay problemas de recursos humanos o el presidente, que no lo tiene que saber todo, necesita asesores que verifiquen y eviten los entuertos. Y son los grandes y los pequeños. El retiro de la reforma fiscal y sus efectos tiene dividido al gobierno y la renuncia de Cañete puede ser parte de eso. Por suerte la economía crece o por lo menos eso dice el FMI en su informe de ayer en Washington porque el deterioro político se sobrelleva mejor o menos mal cuando no hay crisis económica. Desde ayer me están llegando audios del chisme que tiene el partido oficial en NY donde al parecer hay mucha gente aspirando a posiciones de gobierno. El PRM es un partido joven y viejo a la vez. Cuando lo fundaron sobre el registro de la Alianza Social Dominicana hace 10 años cargaba la vieja estructura del PRD y 16 años de oposición. Hay gente que se tiene que recoger y no lo entiende y la falta de contenido político hace el resto. Los síntomas están ahí, si no reconocen la enfermedad a tiempo es probable que el enfermo se agrave.

Varios senadores oficialistas y aliados del partido oficial se están reuniendo con interesados en ocupar puestos en las llamadas altas cortes que deben ser renovadas en los próximos meses. La JCE y el TSE son codiciadas y eso no es ni malo ni bueno. Si no hay una legislación que lo impida supongo que pocos casos como los actuales merecen una renovación del mandato, pero eso lo pensamos los ciudadanos mortales que no tenemos el poder que los legisladores saben que tienen. Por primera vez desde el año 2000 salimos de un proceso electoral sin sobresaltos. El TSE apenas tuvo oficio, no hubo quejas de los partidos opositores, no hubo demandas de transparencia de los grupos de sociedad civil ni hubo contratos escandalosos. Basta recordar las gestiones previas de la JCE. Roberto Rosario, alias el constructor y su contrato SOMO cuya nebulosa no termina y el caso de la Junta precedente que tuvo el record de suspender un proceso y que no pudo o no quiso o impidió el voto en el exterior en el 2020. Hoy los diarios traen la sugerencia del CONEP de que se repita con la JCE actual y pareciera de sentido común pero por mis informaciones los legisladores peremeistas no piensan igual. Lo primero que aprende cualquier político bandido es el grado de poder que tiene y cómo usarlo en beneficio personal. En el caso de los legisladores hay gente dando cursos de tigueraje congresual porque tiene mucha experiencia en eso. Esa gente no vende pero ofrece respaldo para posiciones como la JCE y encuentra quien le crea aunque todos y todas sabemos que al final serán decisiones de un nivel más alto. Algún día este país superará el drama de la fecha de vencimiento. De hecho está JCE nos deja de herencia que las actas de nacimiento no vencen y que no hay que renovar la cédula cada cuatro años.  Un amigo francés me mostró hace unos años su documento de identidad emitido en los años 70. Obviamente que Francia evolucionó en el diseño y tamaño de ese documento pero sin invalidar los anteriores.  La renovación de la cédula en la era de Trujillo tenía un carácter recaudador y de control social que ya no funciona. Pero hay gente que no lo sabe.

En este episodio de LO PIENSAN TODOS, LO DECIMOS NOSOTROS, abordamos la tensión política en La Vega tras la sorpresiva renuncia del alcalde Kelvin Cruz y la vicealcaldesa Amparo Custodio. Con opiniones divididas y expectativas altas, la atención ahora está en la decisión que tomará el presidente Luis Abinader. ¿Habrá nuevas elecciones municipales? Nos acompaña Javier Ubiera, delegado político ante la JCE por la Fuerza del Pueblo, para analizar este complejo panorama y las posibles implicaciones para el futuro del municipio. ¡No te lo pierdas!
