The article analyzes how blind trust in technical committees and experts has replaced democratic processes and political responsibility. The author argues that, in the era of instant access to data and information, subservience to these groups does not result from ignorance, but from a deliberate strategy.
According to the text, this dependence on "experts" represents a form of political cowardice, where decision-makers transfer the responsibility of their choices to technical committees. In this way, they avoid assuming authorship of decisions that are, in reality, ideological choices disguised as technical opinions.
The author also criticizes media negligence, suggesting that the media accept these transfers of responsibility without questioning. Journalistic coverage fails to scrutinize who really makes the decisions and to challenge the supposed technical neutrality of these choices.
The article concludes that democracy and political responsibility are being minimized when technicians are given the power to decide in areas that are fundamentally political and value questions.
