E NÃO HÁ LEIS SEM DEMOCRACIA (4
Acredito piamente que as Lettres Portugaises foram escritas pela nossa MARIANA
ALCOFORADO. E isto porque se Portugal tem algum jeito, sem dúvida que o tem na
literatura. E desde o mais simples cidadão ao mais ilustre. D. CARLOS expressa essa alegria numa carta à sua Rainha, D. AMÉLIA: «…e nessa altura dirteei mais uma vez quanto te amo. Isso não se pode descrever, dizse mais olhandonos durante um minuto do que em vinte páginas que se escrevam». E a MARIANA, simples mulher, mas
cultíssima para a altura, na sua 4ª carta: «Bastarmeia verte de vez em quando e saber apenas que estávamos no mesmo lugar».
E essa apetência literária é manifesta nas leis. Exceptuando um caso ou outro, Portugal acompanhou os movimentos dos países de charneira intelectual na criação das leis. E também com a criação das regiões autónomas essa apetência é patente: sinal de que são bons filhos de um bom pai, que é o mesmo que dizer que a matriz cultural é a mesma e, não menos importante, profunda aliás.
A verdade porém, é que uma coisa é a letra na forma de carta amorosa, por muito poética que seja, outra é a letra na forma de lei. E aqui até se confirma que Portugal é um fiel exemplo do mundo: a regra é a imperfeição das coisas; a perfeição é que é a tarefa a perseguir pelo homem. Uma lei é sempre importante porque é lei: contém comandos que orientam a vontade do homem. É uma confirmação de uma ordem universal que, ao caso concreto, enaltece ou deve enaltecer a dignidade humana. Mas uma lei para sê-lo não se basta com a forma e o articulado (daí da existência de tribunais constitucionais). Assim já foi em tempos, não na democracia actual, porque esta é o poder de todos exercido por todos.
O recente decreto legislativo regional 49 do dia 11 Dezembro sobre os quadros regionais de ilha da administração pública açoriana é exemplo de uma lei que não é “lei”: tem a forma e o articulado, mas foi feita à margem da democracia. Há um ano, pelo decreto legislativo regional 1 de 9 Maio, o governo das ilhas plasmou no ordenamento jurídico comandos de promessa de um futuro descentralizado,
