The Battle of Bosworth was being fought - in central England - when King Richard III, the last monarch of the York, was surprised on foot by his enemies.
Shakespeare would later write that, surrounded and seconds before being assassinated, Ricardo took off the helmet of his armor and shouted:
"My Kingdom for a horse!"
.
From those days of the 15th century until today we have two certainties.
The first is that he did indeed remove his helmet: recent studies by the University of Leicester claim that he died from nine blows to the head with medieval weapons.
The second, that no one approached him with the horse of salvation.
The demand did not come despite the generosity of the offer - none other than the Kingdom of England for a simple steed - thrown to the wind when all was lost.
After those two certainties, two conclusions.
One:
when there isn't, there isn't;
it doesn't matter what one is willing to pay.
Two: it
is better to negotiate on time, when you are still on top of the horse.
Ricardo was 32 when he reached his final battle and Alberto Fernández will turn 62 next week.
In the electoral year, the President also seems to walk between the blunders of the management and the palatial and endless internals of his subdivided government.
The horse that needs are vaccines.
While celebrating the million vaccinated in the Province, in that same territory they apply a dose to an 18-year-old girl just for being a militant, while 3 out of 4 elderly people who are in nursing homes are still waiting to be inoculated.
It doesn't seem like something to celebrate.
The young militant - finally fired from her post by the wife of the former mayor of Avellaneda and current Minister of Territorial Development, Jorge Ferraresi, who had hired her - received a dose of
Sinopharm
, the Chinese vaccine whose mass shipment is still to be seen.
The Chinese vaccines are in China
, said this week the Minister of Health, Carla Vizzotti, who this Wednesday again clarified that there is still
"no information"
on new airline flights or details on quantities or delivery times for new doses.
The Province of the unusual celebration is the same land where the Minister of Security takes the Secretary of National Security by the neck while insecurity
hangs others.
For example, María, the psychologist killed by a motorcycle jet in Ramos Mejía.
She died.
Officials who play hangman to decide
who comes first on TV
are still in office.
Neither the hanged man nor the hanger called the psychologist's family - four children, a life of solidarity and full of illusions - to ask if they need anything.
By the way, the motochorro who murdered the psychologist had to be in prison - he had 11 accumulated causes for theft - but he was free due to the danger of coronavirus.
In all the prisons of the Province, with 50,000 inmates,
four prisoners have
died
with coronavirus
since the pandemic began.
Four.
It is 0.008% of the prison population, the lowest mortality in the world.
But those who came out, came out.
They went looking for the murderer of the psychologist in November and they no longer found him.
Thus,
what was immunized was insecurity.
While the President calls for the horse of vaccines from the ground, he is surrounded by the increasing attacks of motorcycle jets in the GBA - did anyone see any of the 4,000 intelligent bus stops that Fernández announced 6 months ago? -, the fierce inmates of his officials in Security, and the partitioned solitude of a power that only has scraps.
