David Ibarra
En la actualidad se debate en México una Reforma Política de mayor alcance que los asuntos electorales. Se pretende que México consolide el camino a una pluralidad ideológica alimentada y nutrida por los partidos políticos y otros actores sociales. Sin embargo, los efectos del incesante reformismo de Estado han roto el pacto social, creado semiparálisis económica y provocado entorpecimientos políticos, agudizados por la crisis financiera global y la inseguridad. Desde la presidencia de la República se lanza una iniciativa de reforma que pretende ahondar el cambio institucional. Por su parte, los partidos plantean contrapropuestas con escasos puntos de coincidencia. Por ello, David Ibarra considera como imperativo atacar los problemas que nutren la insatisfacción ciudadana y los disensos legislativos, pues no hay democracia sustantiva cuando se excluye a las mayorías. Asimismo recomienda que se rompa con el economicismo librecambista por que establece linderos estrechos a la autonomía de la política y reduce los márgenes de acción de la sociedad. También señala que conviene rechazar tanto al inmovilismo, como al cambio por el cambio, pues con los tiempos marcados por el actual debate, de aprobarse tales reformas, su aplicación no surtiría efecto en el presente sexenio, por eso, lograr acuerdos trascendentes requerirá de gran sensibilidad, creatividad y cautela política.

A political reform that would involve more than elections is currently being debated in Mexico. The idea is that Mexico should consolidate its road to ideological pluralism nourished by political parties and other social actors. However, the effects of incessant reforms of the state have broken the social pact, creating a semi-paralysis of the economy and political stumbling blocks, heightened by the global financial crisis and insecurity.
The president’s office launched a reform bill to deepen institutional change. The political parties, for their part, have countered with proposals of their own that include few points in common. This is why David Ibarra considers it imperative to attack the problems that fuel dissatisfaction among the citizenry and legislative discord, since there can be no substantive democracy when the majority of the population is excluded from the process. He also recommends that there be a break with free-market economic reductionism because it sets very narrow margins for the autonomy of politics and reduces society’s room for action. He also points out that both immobility and change-for-change’s-sake should both be avoided, because, with the time frame of the current debate, if these reforms were passed, they would not be applied under the current administration. This is why coming to fundamental agreements will require great sensitivity, creativity and political caution.
