About this Quote

In this quote, previous Chilean President Ricardo Lagos emphasizes the significance of democracy and the role of organizations in promoting it. He worries that in a democratic society, organizations should have the ability to operate independently and with authority. This means that they must not be affected or managed by any external forces, such as political parties or people. Rather, they must be able to work easily and with sovereignty, suggesting they have the power to make choices and carry out their tasks without interference. Lagos is advising his fellow Chileans that a strong and operating democracy relies on the proper functioning of organizations, and it is their responsibility to guarantee that these organizations are able to run with no obstacle.
