This is an opinion article that reflects on the state of democratic institutions. The author positions himself between two extremes: the haste of technical reform and the temptation of a total rupture with the existing system.
The author suggests that perhaps what democracy is lacking is patience to allow institutions to return to their own origin, implying that there is a path of natural recovery that is not being respected.
The article highlights a kind of exhaustion with the frequency with which one hears that "institutions have failed." The author identifies a sequence of failures: Parliament fails, courts fail, parties fail, suggesting a systematic pattern of institutional dysfunction.
The article appears incomplete, ending abruptly with "fails [...]," which indicates it may have been cut during transcription. However, the central thesis appears to be a defense of the need for institutional patience and a process of regeneration more gradual than accelerated reforms or radical ruptures propose.
