A note from the colleague Pablo Sirven in
La Nación
, with the use of the adjectives
"unviable"
and
"Africanized"
to describe the Conurbano, gave rise to what he likes best and what comes out best to the false progressivism K, from Kicillof to INADI -still in charge of Victoria Donda-:
declaim an unverifiable speech in his personal actions.
The definition of non-
viable
may be debatable, but it does not indicate an undervaluation.
After 6 Peronist and 2 non-Peronist governments since 1983, 41% of the inhabitants in the Province are poor (data from INDEC 2020).
It is also said, for example, by the political scientist Andrés Malamud, supported by the territorial extension, the political organization and the population, among other
data that support the idea of a territory that is difficult to make viable under current conditions.
But the issue is not the province but opportunism and double standards.
The INADI, for example, with better reflections than those it showed in the face of the lack of payment to the domestic employee of its head, Victoria Donda, did not miss the opportunity to point out:
“Why is it racism to speak of the Africanization of the suburbs? ”.
It would not have been wrong for him to show the same willingness to ask himself:
"Why is it discriminatory, racist and abusive not to raise the salary of your domestic worker and offer her a position in the State so as not to pay compensation?"
.
He did not, of course, because some Kirchner leaders only seem to recognize discrimination against political opponents.
These days Donda had the survival instinct to avoid a public appearance and used INADI to condemn the journalistic note.
By the way, it was ratified in office by Alberto Fernández, who for now offers his conviction to forgive the ineptitudes (even ethical ones, such as Donda's) of his officials as a major sign of character.
But let's go back to discriminatory speeches.
Last week, no K leader was horrified by the statements of Nicolás Kreplak, Vice Minister of Health of the Province, who, when speaking of the outbreak of coronavirus, ventured: "...
some upper-class sector is very reluctant to follow the rules."
And he added:
“They are sectors that have little attachment to care (…), generally of the upper classes.
One sees that the popular sectors are much more compliant.
Because you are more economically privileged, you do not have the right not to comply with the rules ”
.
If Kirchnerism was looking for a stigmatizing discourse to correct, in recent times there has not been any surpassing Kreplak's
.
What statistic was it based on?
Where are the studies that justify it?
The answer is obvious: they don't exist.
His sayings are pure class prejudice and populism of the most stale
.
But also, a look at reality denies it.
The overflows in the suburbs during the quarantine, generated in many cases by those who needed to go to work, were an early warning about the possible growth of infections.
It is clear that the explanation for the regrowth has nothing to do with class behaviors.
Kreplak's folly would have justified an offended call from a member of the designated upper class.
For example Máximo Kirchner, his boss in La Campora.
The always welcome effort not to stigmatize poverty also requires
cutting off Kirchner's demonization of wealth
(of others), even if it is less business and politically incorrect.
In order for it to happen, one would first have to loosen up with false progressivism.
Then, and even more revolutionary, pay employees.
