Democracy is a way of life, it is defined as “Political system that defends the sovereignty of the people and their right to elect and control their rulers”
Democracy does not begin or end at the polls, its fullness is when a true participatory democracy is established, when citizens are empowered, when the idea of ”nothing happens” of “what I say does not count” of ” that others decide, I’m not interested”
Democracy is real and effective responsibility of the whole people.
It is not enough, as its definition says, to freely elect the rulers and popular representatives to believe that a democracy is lived, it is necessary to be vigilant to evaluate and control them.
A people will have a democratic regime when all voices are heard and taken into account, when all the ideological currents that make up an empowered and free citizenry are tolerated, considered and respected, when it is understood that in politics, one plus one adds up to three, not two as in a simple arithmetic sum.
Democracy, as has already been said, is a way of life, of confronting and solving collective problems, it is democracy when the present and future interests of the majority overcome those of the few and when those few recognize that even if it does not suit their interests , they acted with justice, and there is evidence of the respect given to them.
Democracy is not simulation, manipulation, or implicit oppression, democracy is responsibility and respect, it is inclusion, it is general progress.
Making Mexico a truly democratic nation is everyone’s responsibility and task, and it belongs to now.
For a worthy and united Mexico, let’s make a pact.
Thank you
