For Sergi Jiménez Márquez .
We are facing a public outcry that comes from a deep disconnect between the representation that should exercise our political representatives on behalf of each of their constituents, (which are delegated by the voting rights of sovereignty which constitutionally belongs) and genuine representation that is currently exercising, which primarily benefits the capital markets and the very mechanisms that sustain the system.
First of all we should understand that politics must serve people, not people in the service of politics, and especially when delegating representation does not correspond to a proper legislative use . At this point, one of the first demands should be met and more have been heard in meetings I have witnessed in Plaça Catalunya, is the transformation of a representative democracy to participatory democracy .
still do not know where this leads mass protest, or what should be the correct mechanisms for participation in a hypothetical new electoral system more directly involved, but what is certain is that for those believe in participatory democracy should be aware that participating requires responsibility.
Participation should start from now, we understand and assume our responsibility as political subjects, subjects with the possibility of political action without necessarily belonging to a political party. No need to wait for the dream representation mechanism appears magically to start participating in this attempt at democratic reconstruction, it must begin now to build through participation. If we move aimed at leaders must begin to lead, to direct our lives, to participate in the work of a new order that is looming on the horizon, but is still far away.
speak to lead and participate understand that every one should do according to his ability, the ability to influence and be influenced number, by any mechanism of participation, and our best mechanism is the Internet and face to face interaction. Leave a message for those who dream of being young leaders in a participatory democracy to create a more just and more equitable:
"Start, since its immediate environment, to participate responsibly and actively in this process of social transformation, to publicize the injustice and the proposals claim the people explain and expose their own take critical view, listen, I think, expose, discuss, and above all participate in the awakening of conscience, act as a leader and not as directed.
