It is a challenge, he assured, preserve the democratic system built in the country for three decades.
At the inauguration of the II National Meeting of the 2022 Monitoring and Governance Mechanism of the National Civic Culture Strategy, Córdova said that in a democracy “it is natural that a party that gains power through the ballot box wants to stay there.”

Faz criticizes “vote by slogan”
Representatives of political parties participated in this National Meeting, who analyzed a new public policy around civic culture.

Counselor Martín Faz defended the importance of this culture in the face of challenges such as the polarization of the country, the high perception of corruption, the low representativeness of legislators and what he called “votes by slogan.”
“How to say no (promote civic culture), when we are seeing the outrage in the legislative process that is being generated at the moment, solely and exclusively by partisan interests of a majority that does not even read a reform proposal, but vote for slogan”, added counselor Faz.
