Five years after the entry into force of the Constitution of Montecristi, most of the claims on its merits have had less significant impact on the practical side. We are facing the evidence that society has not undergone a radical transformation as ads say about the constitutional law -something that is also debatable.

When there are pretentions of abstracting the legal aspect from the political context, an incontestable reality is being denied.
