The article addresses the relationship between contemporary democracy and the growth of populist discourses, arguing that politics has transformed into a permanent management of urgency in many cases. The text questions the focus on innovation without a clear reflection on its concrete objectives.
The author observes that political solutions are frequently announced without there being a clear vision of the future to guide these decisions. This absence of direction allows citizens to feel that choices are made about their lives, but rarely with their effective participation.
This phenomenon creates a space of distance and frustration between citizens and democratic processes. It is precisely in this context of political alienation that populist discourses find fertile ground to develop and attract followers.
