has ended (?) The strike of air traffic controllers. The media have given us lots of pictures:
Disadvantaged-drawn airports and the bitterness of being disappointed in their holiday dreams. Or worse, people or families that have been postponed or canceled their travel definitely motivated by health issues, professional meetings or family ...
Political inveigh tense and trying to highlight the evil that they do one or the limited sense of patriotism with others. More of the same.
Defenders (rather few) what drivers have to protect their status. Usually on the defensive and not many good ways. View blog "air traffic controllers and other herbs"
In short, once again the familiar scenario of disagreements, sin endemic in this country. But look where the claw would seem that this government has failed in so many issues, has appeared in this. The decision to militarize the air traffic controllers has been generally well received by those have suffered the consequences of their wildcat strike and widely by the public.
Does this mean that finally the government has done what was expected of him, acting with authority? What people expect a more resolute attitude of the authorities on issues that may affect the normal existence and development of the country?
A speech widely used in the heat of political combat is that you need more tough, stronger positions. With Morocco, Venezuela or Cuba, with immigrants, unions, the anti ... And it accuses the government of being too soft in certain situations.
Surely, some of these requests are quite right, but not all. And you have to discern. A government must demonstrate its authority by enforcing the laws, but not falling into authoritarianism. On the other hand, a government can not be held hostage to their constant fear of losing votes. A government has to learn to make decisions that may be unpopular, but if it should do it.
Opinions looking in the mirror of authoritarian leaders who practice and apparently can bring stability and economic progress, as is the case for example in China. The counterpart is the loss of freedoms. That is not the model I like.
must dive into the intricacies of the issues. The trend of public opinion is to be located at the ends of the circumstances: it is not white is black, is not left is right, what is not with me is against me. And there is a tendency to neglect the nuances.
therefore reject the authoritarian practices, but if that support respect for authority and that the government enforce the laws. I also reject individuals or groups attempt to turn the application of practices of this character trying to disguise them under the guise of exercise of rights that often do nothing but trample on other people.
So I was unhappy with the decision to act decisively in the case of air traffic controllers. So I think the wrong attitude of the opposition when a question arises as this, only knows how to use to seek political advantage.
And without forgetting that the government should have foreseen the reaction to the publication of the decree on air traffic controllers last Friday, could be exactly what it was. And therefore should have taken steps to avoid the hell that came under direct losers, and those that were involved following the closure of English airspace.
