The culture of accommodation has
a long tradition in these pampas
.
So much so that the really surprising thing would have been that a VIP Vaccination like the one that ended up ejecting Ginés González García from the Government was not set up.
It would have been typical of Scandinavia if the system to inoculate against Covid did not include one or more cases of "fanned up" like this one.
And Scandinavia has always been far from the Río de la Plata.
This is the country where "an accommodation" was desperately sought
for compulsory military service to touch upon a gracious fate
.
Here he asked himself "do you have an accommodation?"
to see how to access a Megatel plan and thus stop waiting for a phone for all eternity.
In the Police, when that institution issued the passport and the identity card, the queue of those who did the well-off procedure could be perfectly
longer than that of those who went without any “recommendation”
.
Not to mention the line that was set up to get the driver's registration: there, if the accommodation was large enough, he would get away not only from the wait but also from the exam.
This always worked like that in Argentina.
With the military, radicals or Peronists
.
In some of the state service companies, in fact, the children of the employees had the right to a position, as if it were a monarchy:
more accommodation is not achieved
.
Although some of these “privileges” have fallen into disuse, mostly because the effectiveness and agility that digitization brought to life made them unnecessary, most of them continue.
Only now the word used is "contact."
The accommodation constitutes, in truth,
the first step of corruption
.
You start by getting a vaccine sooner than it should be, you continue with a state job for a relative, you continue with a concession and so on.
At the top of that long staircase there could be a surcharge contract to pave a Santa Cruz road.
Not a few people justify these "fancies".
As Aníbal Fernández said this Sunday: for him, what happened to Ginés was “a baton”, nothing more.
The mental and moral scheme that led the now former Minister of Health not to think twice about reserving a game of Sputnik V for friends and recommended
is a first cousin of the one that led Victoria Donda to offer a social plan to her maid
.
The belief in such gross impunity reigns in some circles.
It abounds, and it hurts.
It is the one that allows Hugo Moyano to justify his vaccination, without blushing, with the absurd argument that he is “president of two social works”.
Of course, the spread of evil does not free anyone from guilt or justify anyone.
Nor is tradition.
What makes
vaccinate
more serious
, which exploded with Ginés, but which had been growing with photos and more photos of young pro-government militants inoculated, is that we are not talking about a shortcut to any procedure.
It is about taking advantage of power, or closeness to power,
to pass without rights over others
in a matter where life is at stake.
Life for real, not figuratively.
Argentina has 51,000 fewer inhabitants than prove it.
Hence the deep and furious indignation that the "little advantage" of officials and friends of officials caused in millions, even in people ideologically sympathetic to the Government.
We all have someone close to us
who has been terrified for months in case they are infected
, because getting infected at a certain age in many cases kills.
Vaccines, which are few despite so many promises, for them are synonymous with the fact that there is a future, and above all that they are not going to die so easily.
Unfortunately, despite the
anger like few
that this new moral scam generated, it
is difficult not to be skeptical
.
It's hard to believe that the leadership feels challenged.
It is not the first time that she has been caught red-handed and she may not be able to understand that now it is a more sensitive and universal subject than ever.
The antecedents invite us to think that the political class will miss this opportunity
to find a bottom to the barrel through which ethics has slipped
.
They have been accommodated too long.
