younger and POLICY. If a phenomenon
tenuous, incipient, but gives some hope has happened in recent times is the youth involvement in various acts of social and political life of Argentina.
So when radicalism performed the ceremony at Luna Park for 25 years of democratic recovery, and then with the passing of former President Raul Alfonsin, the most striking was the large number of youth who participated, who attended, and then the recent involvement of many young people in the wake of former President Nestor Kirchner also confirms the interest of many young people to be protagonists of political life.
To these facts we add the number of young people involved in NGOs in student demonstrations in solidarity activities, which will hopefully be setting a course for the coming generations are willing to star in history, demanding to be heard and have a voice in decisions that are taken from power.
And this is necessary, because democracy has had a bankruptcy, debt beyond social, which is to create spaces for participation, there is a culture of participation and that this is not relegated to vote every two years, so when someone comes in meetings related to a political party many claim "here we are not policy "as if politics were a bad thing, when in fact everyone in that meeting are playing politics, because politics is precisely the debate of ideas to achieve the best solutions to diverse problems that affect citizens.
It is also true that the experience of bad politicians, the successive crises have generated skepticism toward those who are parties politicians, but it is also true that if one engages the sure result will be that those who are not with the intention of working for the common good but to take personal advantage or for the few to make decisions, and this does not happen only in political parties but also in trade unions, business organizations, intermediary institutions and any organization of human beings.
also real benefit generalizations worse, because if we say everyone is equal, we equate the good with the bad, conclusion are all bad.
is why the decision of many young people to participate beyond where that institution in that group student in that union, which political party, strengthens the possibilities of living in a better society.
The serious problems that we deal with the great social inequalities, violence, addictions, lack of values, among others are problems that require for their solution of much debate and in most cases go against powerful interests, for it critical spirit is essential for young people, and obviously not committed youth, but youth participation gives us confidence in the future.
Of course the debate of ideas requires listening, knowing that nobody has all the truth, be tolerant of others' ideas, why is it so important to firm convictions and accept that others may think differently. And here I open a parenthesis to repudiate the death of a young man who was killed by Avellaneda defend their ideas, as is the case of Mariano Ferreyra, nothing justifies the use of firearms to quell a protest.
We need more participation, more discussion, more tolerance, more matches, and that differences do not give the color of the shirt, but by the ways of how to troubleshoot problems that may arise.
Today we have an opportunity that seldom have been in Argentina's history, by the favorable economic conditions worldwide, is essential to discuss how to leverage the situation and implement better policies arising from this debate, and it is therefore essential to look young.
