A socialist, but above all a democrat, he has been an advocate of respect for the independence of the powers of the state and of preventing political pressures - direct or indirect - from interfering, for example, in judicial processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is it important for institutions to work? The answer seems simple. If institutions cease to function and are corrupted by political power, the democratic system begins to erode and \u201cbad practices\u201d become the norm. The red lines and the bar change and unethical behaviour and practices, which may even border on the illegal, become normalised.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the full article here:<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El ex presidente de Chile, Ricardo Lagos, el primer mandatario de izquierdas en llegar al poder luego de la dictatura de Pinochet, acu\u00f1\u00f3 una frase en 2011 que podr\u00eda valer para cualquier democracia y, m\u00e1s a\u00fan para la espa\u00f1ola por estos d\u00edas: \u201cDejemos que las instituciones funcionen\u201d.
