Kirchner, the Autumn of the Patriarch



September 13, 2007

It is obvious to others to clarify that when Gabriel García Márquez published his book "The Autumn of the Patriarch" was not referring to political issues of land or more specifically Argentina's Santa Cruz without But in this extraordinary novel may fictionalise the circumstances of an abuser of power.

Néstor Kirchner, Santa Cruz-turned-patriarch in order to be well in all of Argentina, is checking how the omnipresent and omnipotent power is reaching the limits that a whole society is not willing to tolerate. Of course, that does not have a direct with election results that could occur in the immediate future, although they seem to be not present as he wished.

decades of democracy in Argentina has been emptied of content and participation, whatever the outcome of these elections are only the product of political mediation, agreements and alliances, backroom, millionaires budgets devoted to form what is called the "public opinion", the triumph of lies and meanness over the ideas and proposals and, among others, the spurious use of public funds.

Just yesterday, the intolerance of power Kirchner added more injured and abused to the long list that seems unable or will surely end. In this opportunity we have been workers and a journalist from Caleta Olivia, the northernmost city in the Patagonian province of Santa Cruz who have suffered repression from security forces commanded by the President of the Nation.

The reason for the action of the National Gendarmerie, without judicial authorization corresponding to these cases, was intended to allow the passage of a few buses that were rented conveniently go to Rio Gallegos to its occupants carried conveniently participate in an act of proselytizing . Not every act, but he who put the starting point of the candidacy of the current governor Daniel Peralta-ruler forceps invented political force in the presence of Kirchner.

santacruceños seems to be that many surely are not so sure of love declaimed on all sides by the president. "Here I am, giving the face and jugándome in this province that I love" dared to shout at once mentioned, nor that this face is that for more than five months can not be seen in public but must be content with deal published in the media of the government itself or operated by it, both provincial and national.

But of course, which was by patriarch Kirchner to hold more "do not work for the Santa Cruz street gangs, but for the work and ideas." Well believe it or not said so, whether the exaggerated reality speaks of abuse of public employment, the total lack of projects and ideas overcome and sustainable in the province. Even if you were right, by chance told the truth, referring to street gangs, although we know that does not work for them because he and his cohorts committed and beneficiaries are street gangs. You just have to refer to facts, which for years have been public knowledge are happening in Santa Cruz, to check.

More yet, it now informs us Kirchner Christian must continue supporting the aggression of those who have no ideas and when a recount will have three. "But the subconscious is that part of Kirchner that keeps you always walk with vulgar mendacity and after carton says" And like those who say "if you think like me, you attack", that is not democracy, that is fascism. " Sure, it's the authoritarianism of the Front for Victory, which is commanded only by him who is transformed into a daily vernacular kind of fascism.

feelings of who was the proponent of political persecution, the apaleaduras, police repression, the attacks firebombs and abuses of all kinds to the people from Santa Cruz, among many many more atrocities, comes with the story that "I come with heart, passion and open arms, even to those who cowardly attacked Alicia (sister ) or old (mother), the greatest cowards that can be known for assaulting a woman, a companion. " You can no longer fool anyone, unless it is clear that many want to be tricked out snacks uncontrolled economic management of the national budget allows them to get in exchange for silence and complicity.

At least we can be sure to denounce this kind of politics contribute to build part of the way of truth, that we must travel irreplaceable way to end those who have taken over our future. Be treated, then, that all people begin to look at reality with a more critical and suspicious, because otherwise it will not go the way of the future finding field for all of the popular solidarity and dignity forgotten almost lost . Because

deliver our principles and our rights in exchange for a few continue to enrich and protituyendo and politics, even more than they have done, will inevitably be the near future. Lies, dark arrangements with the worst of the national politics, widespread corruption in governments everywhere, the false progress and human rights, labor and social reality, the unmet needs of millions and other issues must end.

be next spring, do not know. But if you surely understand that what happened in the fall and winter have been eloquent and proved that many things must change in our country.
