He was one of the participants in the special “The future after the coronavirus” of the magazine. The senator criticized the liberal economic model: “One should not sail without a rudder, but in globalization we forget it. It was driven only by market and technology strength and there was no political awareness in this process. The old liberalism transformed, became “liberism” and abandoned its humanism. “
Mujica makes troubling predictions for the pandemic period: “The lowest echelons of the threatened middle class will question governments and will be the clamor of the streets. Authoritarianism will have its spring, as well as speculation, they will try to appropriate values for the price of ruin. There will be those who ask for economic and financial solidarity with the world’s poor and some gesture of a million millionaires ”.
“I wonder, are we humans reaching the biological limit of our political capacity? Can we redirect ourselves as a species and not as a class or country? Will politics seem distant to marry science? Will we learn the lesson of disaster by seeing how nature revives? Will medicine, teaching, digital work and robotics prevail and we will enter a new era? Will there be strong battalions of doctors capable of fighting for life anywhere, or will we continue to spend three million dollars per minute on military budgets? It all depends on ourselves ”, he concludes.
