Abstract
Description
Mediante el estudio de la detención de tres personas por protestar en contra de la Metrovía,
este artículo analiza la naturaleza de la imposición de las políticas públicas en Guayaquil. Para
el efecto, se recogen los hechos narrados en los medios de prensa de la ciudad, se los encuadra
dentro de una práctica política local generalizada y se los contrasta con teorías contemporáneas
de derechos humanos en materia de libertad de expresión. El artículo demuestra el carácter
autoritario y antidemocrático de las autoridades locales y la necesidad de crear espacios que respeten
y propicien el debate crítico entre las autoridades y la sociedad civil sobre las políticas públicas.
Through a case study of the detention of three people for protesting in opposition to the Metrovía, this article analyzes the authoritative nature of the public politics in Guayaquil. To do so, the facts are narrated as they were seen by the local press, and fitted inside a widespread political practice. Finally, they are contrasted to contemporary theories of human rights as for freedom of speech. The article demonstrates the authoritarian and undemocratic character of the local authorities and the need to create spaces that respect and propitiate the critical debate in relation with the public politics between the authorities and the civil society.
