“We must end this sinister age of demonization.
The soul and the pillars of this country must be rebuilt
.
And it doesn't go through Democrats or Republicans.
We cannot think of ourselves as enemies ...
It is time to all be together, it is time to unite to heal the country ”.
Despite the distance, and despite the allusion to Democrats and Republicans that left us hopelessly outside, it was very comforting to hear the sanity of the
newly elected President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, calling for an end to the rift
that also over there, Trump through, they knew how to achieve.
A rift that not only deepens here but is agitated, with increasing enthusiasm, from the very apex of power.
And it far exceeds the limits of belonging to one party or another.
One of the rounds began with Alberto Fernández and his "it
fills us with guilt to see the city of Buenos Aires so opulent
, beautiful, unequal and unfair with the rest of the country", and his chorus of all sorts of henchmen undertaking it against the porteños Before taking co-participation funds from the district, he traditionally avoided Peronism with his vote.
Then came
the demerit of merit
as a path to growth.
When the Etchevehere family took over the field, the President simplified saying that they were "
things that happen between the rich
, rich brothers who fight over an inheritance."
The Justice ordered the eviction and Juan Grabois and his family had to abandon the property.
That of the rich seems to be a theme that Fernández has decided to adopt as a workhorse.
Last week he launched: "
The problem of insecurity is not suffered by the rich, because they live in guarded houses, full of cameras, in countries with internal custody
...".
If this generation of even more confrontations in a society in which there are not enough, it would be funny to hear the President raiding these slippery lands were not regrettable.
Just taking a look at the presidential formula, one might ask, if these are not the rich, where are the rich?
Taking as a reference December of last year, the month in which he moved to Olivos when he assumed the presidency,
the average value of the m2 in Puerto Madero
, where Alberto F. lived,
was quoted at US $ 5,482
, almost 3,000 dollars above the m2 average in the rest of the City.
Although his apartment was on loan, it is presumed that he lived surrounded by despicable wealthy people, - would the category of whoever facilitated the property fall into? - and even enjoyed their privileges: cameras, internal custody and those perks that the buildings of Puerto Madero have. .
The same neighborhood, by the way, in which Cristina Kirchner
, at the time its vice president
, bought at least two apartments
.
Mother, also, from Florence, with US $ 4.6 million kept in a single safe.
But in addition to all the rebuttable and reprehensible of his sayings, the ease of the rich against the poor, the President falls into another simplistic argument, in a new crude and crude prejudice: millionaires live in the countries.
Ignoring the very wide range of prices and categories in which the real estate market is distributed in terms of this type of urbanization.
And also ignoring the responsibility that falls to him in the insecurity
that, as he himself said, "those who need it most suffer, those who have to go to the bus stop, the train, those who are working."
They are not the only stigmas raised by those who exercise the highest responsibility: the President of the Peronist affiliation of God already congratulated himself, in the October 17 march, while his Chief of Staff, Santiago Cafiero, alluding to another mobilization, that of the 12 of that month, he ruled that the Argentines who had demonstrated that day "are not the people, they are not the people, they are not Argentina."
An extraordinary message in pursuit of pax social, respect for differences and other
lessons of democratic coexistence that some officials seem to have taken to March
.
That, absent in the official voice, and present in claims such as those that this Sunday once again filled the streets.
The discourse of divisions and false dichotomies can work well as a distraction, emulating the uterus, which lays its eggs on one side and screams on the other.
But it can also be a dangerous play.
As the saying goes: whoever sows winds, reaps storms.
