Truth or Interests
By Eduardo Visco *
Argentina society often goes from euphoria to depression, from the same emotional state is confusing, concepts, values, norms, equality, rights.
few days ago there was a tragic unfortunate fact that claimed the lives of two teenagers.
This happened as surely all remember, to derail a train loaded with auto parts, much has been made from different sectors of society, and in any case these voices appeared since "The Truth" absolute, all holders of Media monopoly and avowedly anti-K, these adolescents were stigmatized for carrying weapons and belonging to a criminal gang. The press
alternative communication and direct affinity with the government (which endorse) the kids were innocent victims of the "Fierce" Buenos Aires police.
From "truth" the attempt to plunder the train was a fact that had many eyewitnesses. It is also true
excessive and discriminatory attitudes in the repression of Buenos Aires.
If we stand against these two truths that no one would argue, the least we should do is justify neither the one nor the other, this is perhaps where we have an obligation as journalists, opinion makers and leaders in character representation of the people, to measure our words, knowing the impact.
Why I say at the beginning of the note that went from euphoria to depression? My analysis
try to prove they are speaking too fast and think later, this led us to mistake the edge of repression, freedom of the press with lies, exaggerations and concealment of information from a confused legal ignorance "Justice" with our avenging arm.
Why Barreto is seen as a vicious murderer? Already an old man who has paid his emotional crime 20 years in prison, media, justice and the public should allow their reintegration into society, is not it?. Why
from popular sectors and intellectuals identified with the cause "National Popular there is an unconditional defense youth and adolescents at the time of offending and being victims then the irrationality of members of security forces belonging to the same class with those kids?
rights are constructed and defended, this is an "absolute truth", the history of mankind is marked by acts of barbarism in the name of right, from the religious wars (certainly well-intentioned) to the betrayed husband who believe they have the right to kill his wife (do it for love.)
As we can see the truth is that which we see, beyond which society is built on thousands of bodies which sought only from the Peronism is called Social Justice and the despotism of the ruling class, from multinational companies and agricultural livestock, subjugating, exploiting the work, not giving them the opportunity to study, depriving them of a health system excluding preventive and finally to inhospitable places, marking them for future exploitation and abuse are often spoiled by them, as is seen today with slave labor as evidenced by the decisive action by the State.
is true and the above objective, precisely is "Truth" must lead us to go dark intricacies of the mind human and ask, "How can we justify the crime, violence, murder, exploitation, hunger?
But back to top What if some of us have a car accident, so common today, what would the reaction, if a teenager has occasionally comes along on his bicycle, robs us of our belongings? How
police action if we would not take sides to defend ourselves?
Of course there is no justification, much less a material repression as used in José León Suárez ... But is it the first? ... No.
From the National State, the President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has dropped a clear message that almost all share, "Repression is not the solution" and it is clear that there is a "Truth." And the right?
Law is something that goes by the hand of equity, for further interpretation we can refer to Article 16 ... .. All the people are equal before the law .... And the 17 ... the property is inviolable and no inhabitant of the Nation can be deprived of it ... This is also "truth" written in our Constitution.
With so many doubts, truths wrapped in objective and subjective space we have perhaps the most important of our conscience to try to understand what we face, devoid of the "permanent set of interests."
Above all things is the human being, a person as a full subject of law,
for it can not have a petty and poor look, here we can easily see when the passions unleashed in sport more popular football.
all know the human component of police, Buenos Aires and Mexico City, the renewal of pictures is something that requires meticulousness and time.
understand that parallel to this process of change must accompany the return of codes, rules, boundaries and hierarchy of each of the roles that c / u of us play in society, the teacher must provide a model to imitate students, the doctor or other professional should abandon its superb natural evolution of their academic knowledge as saying "Dom Helder Camara" should ascend to the lower classes, but there are many who flaunt "your" small space power The employee and / or used to deliver shifts in a hospital or clinic, the traffic officer, as he prepares to punish the infringement and not prevent the garbage truck stopped in the middle of the road and its employees do not collect all the trash bags, the driver of the conveyance by asserting their superior size to the car, exceeding speeds and endangering passengers Cell phone companies have a user abusing captive, all in one way or another what used to transgress denominábamos "respect", this change is necessary to establish strict laws criminalizing crime, a crime that does not distinguish races, creeds, ages, social, cultural or economic.
hurts so much the murder of a loved one in the hands of an adult as in the hands of a minor, both the adult and kid were pushed by forces from different generations to offend, I'm sure had there been a greater human equality, much less would the percentage of crimes committed.
is no coincidence that in our country after four decades of misrule, civil and military authoritarianism, corruption and disbelief until 2003, so difficult to understand the changes taking place in the real country, very far from home shown from the hegemonic media, with inflation and high crime rates, both uncertain and easily verified for those researching the history and take rates the same means of information now presented to us so dark picture.
Once more we return to the top, how can we oppose the restoration of the natural order? This is not a proposal for a "strong hand" is simply to take the reins of our homes, our schools, our streets, our streets, not because we can not use today, that's a total fallacy, simply re-live them Pora from own space, with freedom, right to the enjoyment of our "neighborhood" or a forum for football, where there are minority groups in their fights misfits who take the lives of a common viewer, so that shares common with the same "Barra brava" the love for his favorite club.
Since the state also regulate and provide social, you have the responsibility to ensure each of the inhabitants of our land.
This inflexibility is the point we are in a dangerous transition, rates of abuse of all kinds have begun an ascending scale as well as a growing tide must be stopped with the solidarity of all the effort and understanding that nobody is to blame for the chaos generated by decades by today asking to lower the age of accountability and harsh repression, this does not remove the need to recognize that the poorer classes because they are exposed to exclusion policies are in their neighborhoods who have more people committing crimes, it is almost normal for neighbors to protect them from the police (often to avoid death) this creates a vicious circle to be and always playing against the poorest, the least likely, remains as the only way the crime, drugs, prostitution, gambling and any illegal activity that gives them quick gains to finally die in the hands of a internal mafia neighborhood or in the hands of unscrupulous policemen who kill.
Here I want to hold, in the latter paragraph, the police are people mostly arising from the same neighborhoods and know that or they get killed or kill them, this does not answer to the search for a justification, only the analysis which enables the "reflection."
who rapes a child and then murdered to cover up the crime, is no less fierce because of their social, cultural and / or economic, from the discussion Would you be all the same punishment?
is not less criminal by being born in a non-existent parents home, in a context which certainly was not favorable, nor is it a lesser extent, belong to a privileged class or be the child some influential politician.
less corrupt is not one who shares my ideology partisan who does not agree with me, we move away from the subjectivity of "truth" and assume corporate attitudes that contribute nothing to the construction of social justice.
If any of us have an innocent accident with our car, we are stopped until the judge has found in the scene, this is not clear mobilize political forces and / or union Why? We are also workers, also voted and belong to a political party.
Everything has to do with everything ... the actions outside the rules established by minors as calling for a swift and harsh criminalization, corporate action and our CGT statements in defense of a pair, the "momo" Venegas when comparing the different charges we realize that the "momo" is a dangerous offender corporate shielded by impunity.
I think it is time to honor the late Nestor Kirchner to abandon demagogic attitudes, false tolerance and hypocrisy and replace them with commitment, conviction, from a viewpoint that must be reflexive if we wish to reaffirm and strengthen a model country for many young ever known, and I want to end this note by way of reflection with an axiom of "Montesquieu " More serious than the lightness of it is the impunity with which they treated.
Let us act to rise to the occasion.
