Resumen
Entre las décadas de los años sesenta
y ochenta, la expresión "poder popula~'
tenía una connotación claramente sediciosa. No obstante, en esos años no hubo
un proyecto político sólido que esclareciera qué se entendía por tal y menos aún,
cómo podría lograrse el ejercicio del poder con plena participación del pueblo.
Empero, en la actual coyuntura histórica
la consigna aún persiste, aunque expresada con otros contenidos y otro tono. En
efecto, se oye frecuentemente hablar de
participación popular y de la necesidad de
accesión por parte del pueblo a la toma
de decisiones. Más atenuadamente, se
habla de participación ciudadana como un
requisito para lograr el desarrollo de las
comunidades y las sociedades locales.
En esa perspectiva, conviene explicar
que las luchas por incidir en el poder o por
lograr poder se establecen hoy desde un
sujeto colectivo de arraigo popular, a partir de redes sociales cuyas capacidades
se orientan a acciones constructivas y eficientes. Lo anterior se ubica en un contexto en donde no existen las "organizaciones de vanguardia" que otrora pretendían sustituir a las clases sociales y a las
organizaciones de base, sino más bien
donde se valoran los espacios pluralistas
y pluriclasistas. Antes como ahora, esos
espacios se definen como alianzas, que
contienen tanto a colectivos sociales como a instituciones públicas y privadas.
Between the 1960s and the present and eighty, the expression "Poder Popula~''. had a clearly seditious connotation. However, in those years there was no a solid political project that would clarify what was meant by such and less so, how the exercise of power could be achieved with the full participation of the people. However, in the current historical situation the slogan still persists, although expressed with other contents and another tone. In effect, you often hear about popular participation and the need for people's acceptance of the takeover of decisions. More subtly, it is talks about citizen participation as a requirement to achieve the development of the communities and local societies. In that perspective, it is worth explaining that the struggles to influence power or achieve power are established today from a collective subject with popular roots, based on social networks whose are oriented to constructive and efficient actions. The above is located in a context where there are no "vanguard organizations" that once intended to replace social classes and grassroots organizations, but rather where pluralistic spaces are valued and multiclass. Then as now, those spaces are defined as alliances, which contain both social groups and public and private institutions.
