The apogee of utopian foolishness is probably held by the 1991 Colombian constitution, Article 52 of which "recognizes the right of every person to recreation, to practice sports, and to take advantage of free time.
And since no administration could live up to such constitutional obligations, the party in power would enforce those aspects that particularly pleased the political elite and the voting sector that would assure their re-election.
