En un momento de creciente polarización y desconfianza en las instituciones, la Carta Democrática Interamericana nos recuerda que la democracia no es solo un derecho de los pueblos de las #Americas; también es una obligación de los gobiernos gobernar democráticamente. Sigue siendo la expresión más poderosa de unidad y convicción de nuestra región en defensa de los principios democráticos.
La fortaleza de la Carta radica en su capacidad para fomentar el diálogo, prevenir crisis y ayudar a restablecer la legitimidad cuando se pierde. La democracia debe adaptarse mediante transparencia, inclusión y participación, para seguir inspirando confianza y ofrecer beneficios tangibles a la ciudadanía.
Al aproximarse su 25º aniversario, la Carta nos convoca a renovar el contrato social entre la ciudadanía y sus instituciones. La @OEA_Oficial reafirma su compromiso de defender y fortalecer la democracia como fundamento de la paz, la prosperidad y la dignidad humana en las Américas.
Vean mis palabras en el evento de celebración de los 24 años de la Carta Democrática Interamericana, donde tuvimos el privilegio de conversar con el Premio Nobel de Economía @DAcemogluMIT.
