"Democracy is based on the possibility of choosing and sending one group or another to government. [Until 1994] this did not exist: democracy was guaranteed through quotas of local or peripheral power subcontracted or granted to the opposition (on the left, of course). It was the so-called ‘consociationalism’. […] On the other hand, the media-cultural-judicial-trade union-employer-administrative system did not favor the growth of an alternative ruling class on the right. On the contrary, it bombarded every promising emergence, at the local and national, cultural and civil levels."
