Policy and ingenuity.
While the Wednesday night watching the debate of candidates for deputies in the Federal Capital could not help wondering, first, whether there is a naivety in politics and on the other hand, if it still persists among us deep ideologization the years 90, when, as you will recall, was announced to the four winds a double death: the history and the ideologies, which had become dilapidated and outdated references to right and left. In the period dominated by market logic and the postmodern aestheticization all, no significant anchor could offer anything relevant, no political memory game could disrupt the matches that erased histories, positions, conflicts, political and cultural inheritance, resistance, defeat, hegemony, exploitation, class, violence (and the list is too extensive to continue.) A new form of language pasteurized built with the remnants of marketing, advertising and reengineering addressed impresarial unleash the neutralization of politics, a submission to the visual grammars and designs of the entertainment industry.
closed, and out of date, time of right and left, which prevailed during the decade to 2003 was a kind of naturalization of neoliberal constructions. Naturalization of the market as a reference first and last of all social relations; naturalization of a structure of values \u200b\u200bprojected onto the stage to the citizen-consumer, the same who conceived social and democratic life like a shopping mall for a shopping center that, yes, I had to come with satisfaction guaranteed, naturalization of an extreme form of individualism that is set on social fragmentation and the widening gap between rich and poor ; naturalization, also, poverty is equated to rain, a freak of nature and could only be treated from the perspective of philanthropy naturalization of journalism and media corporations such as democracy itself reinsurance silencing interests defended by those same corporations; naturalization of reducing politics and politicians the aesthetic demands of the new television. All these naturalizations came to hide a system of domination over several decades led to reach outrageous dimensions, the concentration of wealth in fewer hands empty and the relationship between democracy, politics and litigation for equality .
While in the televised debate Carlos Heller was the only one who tried, with varying luck, back on core ideological stakes were getting , the other three candidates were dedicated jointly to download almost all their batteries on Kirchner. Not surprisingly, this has been the strategy of Michetti and de Prat Gay, both are liable for direct and undisguised a right which is not named as such hiding in the rhetoric of the end of ideology; surprising that someone like that says express Pino Solanas a national position and is popular throughout the program dedicated to bomb a government whose main opponent just right neoliberal lattice in the alchemy of economic and media corporations and political parties simply have become transmission belts for those interests concentrates.
Pino Solanas chose the strategy of boring the candidacy of Heller ignoring what has been done in recent years playing without pretense, the right game treats it as a pretty girl who comes to legitimize what in the mouth or gorillas macrismo neorradical would be impossible to achieve. Pino put his prestige, he who comes from a film like "The Hour of the Furnaces" to stop favoring the only real alternative power, right restorationist and privatization, which may come to replace Kirchner in this historic period. There was, in virtually all its operations, a denunciation of the neo-liberal alliance has, since last year, moving like a mighty threat on the hits, and not on errors, first the government of Nestor Kirchner and now Cristina Fernandez, there was next to a gimmicky anti denuncismo something equivalent directed against those who not only come across in Argentina but also seek to destabilize the rest of the popular projects are unfolding in South America and which this government has been a fundamental part. Little or nothing seems to matter to Pino Solanas fate of Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, little or not concerned about the return of the right to power because he and his people imagine themselves as the heirs of the fall of Kirchner.
As voted Rep. Lozano along with all the right against the resolution 125 and lobbied senators to Tierra del Fuego do the same, on Wednesday, in the televised debate was devoted to criticizing Solanas with a vengeance and no mediation possible a government that beyond the shortcomings and mistakes, has spun the Argentine time to restorative perspective of popular culture. Again ends up choosing to stay with those who scrapped the state, which brutalized the policy, which naturalized poverty and social inequality and does so using an array supposedly progressive and popular something similar to what your partner of the Agrarian Federation Eduardo Buzzi, has been doing since the March 11 , 2008 empowering the rural society through the symbolic resources of a federation that was passed with arms and baggage to the field of his former enemies.
I imagine, dear reader, that there may be policy naivete, which Solanas was simply a strategy, very mean to take away a vote for Heller and win on that list bid to become the new benchmark for a popular alternative, I would like to believe in the ingenuity or the smallness but something inappropriate, something that was not born in the televised debate of the candidates but has been saying for over a year , makes me wonder, now, of my own naiveté at the time to wonder why the silence of stone right to criticize restorationist while downloading all the grenades on a government harassed by these same corporations which really say nothing Pino Solanas and Claudio Lozano or, in the moment of truth, end up defending as they did during the debate by the 125. Nothing more difficult to effectively challenge the rent and not, as others have done just mere rhetoric, nothing more clear to see how corporations operate and who want to unseat understanding whether there is a fiction, as they say Pino Solanas and own, or with a complex political struggle economic and cultural. Was it perhaps a fiction contest for the agricultural income or extraordinary that opened with the financial income from the re-nationalization of the pension system, or brewing in the dispute over the nominal rent through the new media law audiovisual? Right, estimated Pino Solanas, know when some things are serious or when others are mere chatter testimonial.
Very different was and is the position taken by Martin Sabbatella that, although differing in their decision to submit a nomination in this election and differentiated itself has done so without ignoring the merits as performed by the government and without resorting to the logic of deception and spectacular complaint, much less, leaving the right to criticize centrally. It has done and does it with honesty and without folding their flags and their ideas. Lo de Pino Solanas was of another order, had a verbal virulence could only combine and match if your opponent out of the right restorationist patiently waiting their turn to go back to being the owner of the country's destiny. But no, he and his party have chosen as an enemy to the government without caring or no recovery of the pension system, the re-nationalization of Aerolineas Argentinas, the rehabilitation of the Supreme Court, politics human rights, defense of labor and wages in a global crisis and policies which undermine the interests of workers in most of the core countries, the construction of a space spanned by the Latin American democratic emancipatory popular and which, among other things, helped to rein in the fascist and separatist Bolivian Crescent, which gave him no cover 1800000 citizens the right to retire, which is significantly improving and investing in education have preferred research ... yes ... but as a way of ignoring the historical shift that occurred in our country on May 25, 2003, have preferred the discourse of deception and fiction as if nothing had happened and everything was really just a hoax that does nothing to lock the continuity of the Menem administration.
Much remains to be done and further, there are many weaknesses and debts to those who have less, much remains to be resolved in relation to natural resources, protection of glaciers, to the true reconstruction of a devastated state, to the urgent need for Congress a new law on media and deepen the redistribution of wealth and decisive also much to be done when building new formas políticas de participación popular. Seguramente el 29 de junio estaremos discutiendo todo esto y más, sabiendo que un mismo espíritu emancipatorio debería reunirnos a todos aquellos que seguimos imaginando un país más justo, igualitario y libre y sabiendo, también, dónde está el peligro allí donde la amenaza de una restauración conservadora insiste sobre nuestro tiempo argentino.
