| description | Colombia has been characterized through its political history to be bipartisan; the desire of power has bled the country long ago, and contentions have shown the inequality and social injustice. The Governing body forgets the spirit behind representative democracy, bringing humanity to this minimum expression andignoring human rights. The Government seems to be the most repressive of any kind of movement arising within a society to make its own demands, awakening consciences and calling for a change in favor of the disadvantaged majority. The State is no longer conceived as a democratic apparatus and acquires theconnotation of political apparatus, used to manipulate and exclude with the arrangement of a few holders of power which is legitimated only through a day of voting that does not reflect the popular desire, but the maneuvers that can achieve the inequitable distribution of wealth. |

The Governing body forgets the spirit behind representative democracy, bringing humanity to this minimum expression andignoring human rights. The Government seems to be the most repressive of any kind of movement arising within a society to make its own demands, awakening consciences and calling for a change in favor of the disadvantaged majority.

Colombia se ha caracterizado a lo largo de su historia política por ser bipartidista; el deseo de poder ha desangrado el país desde hace mucho tiempo, y en las contiendas se ha evidenciado la desigualdad y la injusticia social. Los gobernantes olvidan el espíritu detrás de la democracia representativa, llevandoa la humanidad a su mínima expresión y desconociendo los derechos humanos. El Gobierno parece ser el máximo represor de cualquier clase de movimiento que surja en una sociedad para hacer sus propias exigencias, despertar conciencias y reclamar un cambio en favor de las mayorías desfavorecidas. El Estado deja de ser concebido como un aparato democrático y adquiere la connotación de aparato político, usado para manipular y excluir al acomodo de unos pocos detentadores del poder que es legitimado únicamente a través de una jornada de sufragio que la mayoría de las veces no refleja el deseo popular, sino las maniobras que puede lograr la inequitativa distribución de la riqueza.
