From 40 years without Illia to a brief anthology of nonsense K

He never touched a peso from the reserved funds and refused privilege retirement. When his wife fell ill with cancer while President, Illia sold the car to pay for the treatment.


Last Wednesday the 18th, the same day that with great fanfare Sergio Massa announced the repurchase of debt bonds - in a move so far with a very short flight and under investigation by the National Securities Commission due to certain suspicions -,

40 years were fulfilled.

years of the death of Arturo Illia

.

The silence of the commemoration contrasts with the noise with which the government has been promoting actions that would make the ex-radical president who was overthrown by the coup d'état of Juan Carlos Onganía roll in his grave before the third year of his term.

A ruler whose place in history time would be in charge of locating, with the regret even of some of the "night robbers", as he rebuked them, who on June 28 were evicted from the Casa Rosada.

“Argentine democracy needs improvement;

but let it be well established that improvement is not total substitution.

Just as we understand that in order to safeguard the fate of our democratic republican regime against all the distortions of totalitarian groups it is necessary to give Parliament prestige, I affirm that the

freedom of trial and impartiality of Justice

constitute the last and

fundamental guarantee of our institutional order”.

Illia said this in his

presidential inauguration speech

on October 12, 1963. Let's imagine what he might think of the crude and ridiculous maneuver of Kirchnerism in power promoting the

impeachment of the members of the Supreme Court

, disgusted with the content of some sentences.

Not to mention the unprecedented action of bringing her claim and her accusations of lawfare to none other than the United Nations, questioning the alleged "lack of guarantees" that, according to the Secretary of Human Rights, Horacio Pietragalla, affects Cristina Kirchner in the different judicial cases that involve it.

Of course, the criteria of the complaint is selective: if it fails in favor, there are no objections with the Justice.

As in the case of

illicit enrichment

, when in October 2020 Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti rejected a request from the Financial Information Unit (UIF) in Macri's time to reopen the investigation against the Vice President

closed with dismissal in 2009 in record time

for the then judge

Norberto Oyarbide.

In any case, Cristina continues to be investigated for corruption in other cases, such as Hotesur-Los Sauces, and was sentenced to six years in prison for that reason in the Highway case.

It was precisely

Arturo Umberto Illia

who

created the figure of the crime of illicit enrichment

, which was incorporated into the Criminal Code under his presidency, with the aim of

combating

and preventing

corruption of public officials.

They say that when his wife and mother of his three children, Silvia Elvira Martorell, fell ill with cancer during his presidency and went to be treated at a specialized center in Houston, Illia did not accept the funds that the government had provided for the trip: he argued that

using them It would be like stealing money from the people

, and he sold his car to pay for the move.

The woman herself died on September 6, 1966, at the age of 50, just months after the overthrow of her husband.

The chronicles indicate that he never touched a peso of the reserved funds and that he refused to collect the privilege retirement.

In

Cruz del Eje

, where he lived and practiced medicine before assuming the Presidency, is the

only house he ever had

;

It is the one that

the neighbors gave him thanks to a collection

, in gratitude to that doctor who treated everyone equally and without charging a peso.

It is no coincidence that in various surveys over the years, Illia has been among the very first positions when it comes to choosing the most honest, in the country and the world, even surpassing Mother Teresa, Mandela and Gandhi.

That of "any resemblance to reality is pure coincidence" does not work, because there is no possible coincidence between that and this reality.

By the way, the last week was prodigal in pages to add to the K nonsense manual. From the idea of ​​putting

truckers

and picketers to

control prices

in supermarkets, through Pablo Moyano's indignation at criticism of this mechanism, a virtual tightening , and the participation of patoteros with causes in Justice, up to the

enthusiastic invitation to

tried and tested dictators of the region, such as Nicolás Maduro, Daniel Ortega and Miguel Díaz Canel, for the CELAC summit in Buenos Aires, the Government did not let role to star

A separate paragraph deserves the statement of the ineffable presidential spokesperson Gabriela Cerruti on Venezuela: "It is not that everything that is happening seems good to us, but much less everything seems bad to us", barely surpassed by "The Argentine people are going to recognize the

true epic of this government

.

We only have difficulties in some areas.”

Along with Don Arturo, thinking about epics, San Martín must also be restless in his tomb.

Is it difficult to govern?

”, they once asked that honest and austere man, who allocated more than 23% of the Budget to Education, whose death has just been 40 years.

“No,” Illia replied.

Too easy.

You just have to be honest and comply with the Constitution.”
