For
many opportunistic politicians, the truth is a MIA – missing in action. Values
have been kicked aside, in today’s partisan disputes. The politicians do not
want to recognise the facts if those facts play against them and their political
friends. It is more than just lying. It is deep bad faith, and no shame. It is
to negate the evidence and logical dimension of the facts. In the end, that
creates deep divisions, extreme rancour and an immense discredit of everything
political. With time, it might lead to violent action as well.
It
is very worrying as a new trend.
We
have now daily examples of that, in our democracies. And as I wrote yesterday, our
democratic systems are therefore continuously undermined. And our societies are
becoming more extreme instead of more harmonious.
