The real legal uncertainty on the failure of Crucitas, by Mr. Oscar Arias

A BRIEF REFLECTION ON THE FAILURE OF Crucitas
by Oscar Arias Sánchez

25 years ago, there was the possibility that a common citizen start a blog on any given day, and this blog was more read a newspaper or magazine. There was the possibility of creating a Facebook group and convene, within weeks, three million people to demonstrate about a proposal. It was not possible to convert a home video into a worldwide sensation phenomenon.

was the time when politicians were dependent on the media to convey our thoughts and our opinions, which is why we relied on what they want us to publish, when they wanted to publish, and in most cases unwilling to publish it.

That time has passed. Today, however, is the world that has displaced nearly Wikipedia encyclopedias, which for centuries dictated the official word of thought. This is the world where anyone can take free courses in Physics and Computing at MIT, the most prestigious technical university in the world, without leaving the living room of his house. Never before normal people, those who are not Presidents or General Managers or Directors or had been so powerful. Now we can speak our minds through Facebook without anyone edit, or make your own interpretation of what we mean, and simultaneously, in real time we know what our friends think. That's why, that is you, my friends from Facebook, who would like to say what I think of ruling on Crucitas.

Throughout my public life I have always respected the decisions of different courts in our country. As I have said repeatedly, in a democracy where an independent judiciary, the sentences are adhered to and respected, not questioned. However, as you know, the Administrative Court ruled against the ruling of the Constitutional Court had declared the constitutionality and legality of the decree of national interest that we issue for my government. I think the most desirable at this time is very quiet and serenity, and manifestations of the company concerned to bring this case to the First Division of the Supreme Court Justice, which we hope will be that body which ultimately resolved, hopefully in the shortest possible time, the divergence of views between the rulings of the Constitutional Court and the Administrative Tribunal.

The development of the people depends on the amount of investment, both domestic and public, both private and foreign. In Latin America per capita foreign investment has Chile's highest, and it is this investment that has allowed him to become the most developed country in Latin America. Costa Rica, for many years, has followed the footsteps of Chile creating clear rules to attract such investment.

In any democracy, citizens must know what to expect in their dealings with the state. Must rely on observation and respect of circumstances arising from the application of valid rules and regulations. Must have a reasonable expectation based on what the performance of power in law enforcement. That is, should be able to anticipate what the legal consequences of their own behavior. As the English say, "legal security protection Means of confidence."

Legal security means the protection of trust, it is a "know what to expect." Our country, so admired by its peace, its democracy, tolerance, can not remain at the end of the race in the world. The primary right of a globalized world is trust. Begins to protect the Government and Congress, but it happens, no doubt, by the judiciary.

Finally, my dear friends, about me, as I said before, that nothing should be nothing to fear.

protect the right to dissent

I want to write on various topics that I walk for days under his belt, but for now I'll do a quick reflection on the conflict at the border. To see if this abandoned reagent blog!

Clearly what happens in Calero Island is unacceptable and must be filled with indignation. But from this point, if something should have learned after 60 years without an army, our attitude should be one unwavering belief in the ability of international institutions to solve our disputes with other countries. This means not to be drawn by the incendiary and irresponsible pronouncements of some who stoke the fires of intolerance to any extent without understanding the dire consequences that a flood of passions could have on our country. We test at this time that image that we have forged ourselves peaceful, tolerant, democratic, and the anger can not finish taking shape in things that always, at least we say, we have the opposite: violence, intolerance, xenophobia, chauvinism disguised as a patriotism-not-that history shows us time and again has painful implications for countries.

addition to the defense of our territory dilemmas we face today can assert a set of values \u200b\u200bor show a hidden face of our nation. I am optimistic because until now only a handful of hotheads utter xenophobic threats of violence, but I fear that in other respects some hazards are much less obvious but no less serious.

After the attack on the Twin Towers in September 2001, the Bush administration sought and obtained approval expeditiously Congress for a series of actions including the attack on Iraq in the name of "national security." I vividly remember the backlash from conservative against the handful of senators and congressmen who dared to question the legality and morality of any of these actions. "Not now," he argued, "to challenge the Government, it is time for national unity." Time proved right those who had doubts and many of the things that seemed to make sense in the context of the 9-11 attack were identified as legally and ethically questionable. Amid the anguish caused by the terrorist attacks, the American people were betrayed himself and was willing to sacrifice not just some moral and legal principles that have been supporting his national essence, but also to restrict the open public debate, contestation, to restrict, in other words, dissent.

Nothing more dangerous in a democracy that the restriction of thought, particularly if imposed from a partial interpretation in a temporary situation. The argument of "do not criticize because it is time for national unity" is a very bad sign that weakens incólumnes principles that must be maintained. There is no appropriate or inappropriate time for the democratic exercise. Those who wish to reap the benefits of freedom, wrote Thomas Paine, must assume the fatigue of supporting it. Por eso me ha sorprendido la reacción de un sector de la prensa y de algunos formadores de opinión respecto a las declaraciones que diera el expresidente Arias alrededor de este conflicto. Se puede estar de acuerdo o no, pero desestimar esta o cualquier otra opinión por ser este un momento particular es tan peligroso como el pensamiento de los radicales que lanzaron un coctel molotov contra la embajada nicaragüense.

No perdamos la brújula y ratifiquemos en todo momento nuestra convicción democrática. Este conflicto fronterizo, como muchos que hemos tenido en el pasado, terminará siendo un mal recuerdo en unas semanas. Pero si actuamos en contra de nuestra esencia, el perjuicio será mucho más duradero
