thousands who went to Plaza de Mayo to express thanks, solidarity and all kinds of feelings that I would probably be short of words to dress up and reflect what we feel many. There were people who gave him strength to Comrade President, others were grateful, others swore allegiance to Cristina and above all there were many who Nestor appreciated having "restored dignity."
I was very young on December 20, 2001, but I remember very well the cacerolazos, repression, the helicopter, the fervor popular that took over the streets. But a May 25, 2003, a penguin came from the south, who used his jacket unbuttoned, who had a look and speak up comedian. Came from the south with the promise of freedom from all ills that were suffering Argentines make a country more just and suggested we dream, just 30 years exactly the assumption of Campora (be coincidence.) Many thought it was the continuity of Eduardo Duhalde and his government, which had left two dead and fight. There was a mixture of suspicion and hope for the feelings of the Argentines who looked like they had nothing to lose.
That penguin, coming from the south, that few knew, until an old and anachronistic "journalist dared to call "The Duhalde Campora," began to play very strong interest breaking with old and strong power structures Argentina. In the first months pardons were revoked and the laws of Due Obedience and Final, or call the Impunity Law ; down poverty rates, unemployment, homelessness, country risk, etc. So, little by little (though for what had been done in so short a time was a lot) started to build what he promised he could become a progressive space which had some features of that glorious youth 73 ' who fought for a country fair, free and sovereign.
It was Kirchner, and no one else, who had the courage and decency to apologize in his capacity as Chairman of the National as representative of the Argentine State "for having quiet for more than 20 years the horrors of the dictatorship" . It was Kirchner and not another, because it's him and nobody but him that he could ask for and expect such a thing. Kirchner was, and not another, which took as a state policy to investigate what happened in the clandestine detention centers during that disastrous period, this March 24, 2004 in the former ESMA. Kirchner was, and not someone else who raised the need for youth offending, involved, active in politics to organize, to discuss, to criticize. Kirchner was, and not another, which extended the retirement scheme allowing the entry of thousands. It was Kirchner, and no other, he who raised the country's worst economic and social crisis in the history of our country. Kirchner was, and not another, which led to the society within the debate on income distribution. It was Kirchner, and not another, which was against the media power structure largest of Argentina with the intention that the information is still not handled, groped and monopolized by those who impose decades uncertain and illusory realities . Kirchner was, and not another, which broke with neoliberalism and the "carnal relations" with the United States that persisted during the 90 ' and finally formed a Latin American unity as an alternative proposal to the models imposed by the powers and the IMF to create an identity and a continental idea is respected by those who have made us a colony. It was Kirchner, and no other.
Then, do a very simple balance of some of the achievements, and to the image of death as only a disappearance of the physical, material and not truly abstract sense, I wonder what stupid celebrate the few who dared to pan and celebrate his death. Are the same as claiming torture, kidnapping and terrorism of state, who benefited at the expense of all the worst times, the same as in the 52 ' painted "live cancer, those who cry out for a country unfair and inequitable and that today are encouraged to post signs with the slogan "Long live the stroke." But with such hatred and barbarism, the answer was in the streets, with a massive turnout and a collective involvement rarely seen. Watched with admiration, hope and excitement when I left Casa Rosada on Thursday near 14 hours. the sea of \u200b\u200bpeople who were in North Diagonal until July 9, over all that was grouped in the square and in other avenues, with queues of up to eight hours to get into him a last farewell.
Seeing these two contrasts, where for right endeavors cataloged as a disastrous government, and the left populist calls opportunist, I say to myself, tell them the grandchildren of grandmothers recovered thanks to the intense human rights policy of this government, which was a disastrous government, populist and opportunist. They explain the millions of men and women in Argentina now have jobs, social security and dignity that was a disastrous government, populist and opportunist. Explain them to the hundreds of thousands of kids today can go to school, receive a universal allowance, have a vaccination plan which was a disastrous government, populist and opportunist. They explain to mothers that can now bury their children, find justice and see the murderers of their children having a fair trial and final decision, which was a disastrous government, populist and opportunist. To explain to people regain their dignity, hope, active and militant participation in politics, debate, ideas, social and economic strength was a disastrous government, populist and opportunist.
Kirchner could have been a president more, one to fix things, let them just like that and be functional for many interests. But he decided to change policy. May have left and were in the Armed Forces, the dictatorship, but decided to do justice. He could have chosen to be functional and vultures ClarÃn interest, but decided to take the octopus. May have left pensions in private hands and not to discuss the merits of the case, but decided to break with this system and ensure and raise the retirement of old ones. May have not fought with the field and continue on the same line of his government, but decided to give a long battle for equal distribution of income, even risking a lot. It could have been functional FTAA colonial economic plan and be a puppy over the United States and Fox, Uribe and others, but decided to break with the rule and consolidate a Latin American common market rules and principles themselves sitting. When I see all the headaches that could have been saved, I wonder if he was interested only make money and negotiated, why what was spent on face all these structures of power that could have toppled?
That Wednesday October 27, 2010, will be on me as one of the saddest days, hopeful and painful of my life and militancy. Because I went from crying, sorrow and grief to understand they need to participate more than ever since we can, to further change, to change reality and create new utopias to help us walk as a society. Because I believe that only through politics and only through it, you can produce a real and meaningful change, I believe more strongly in the accompanying participation in this model which we live, defending and being critical of it. Thanks
