A fact symptomatic of the (very low) quality of (most of) the political leadership of Argentina is the fact that in their own way urges us to discuss the model prevailing economic in this country is a humor magazine, Barcelona . This confirms once again that political humor tends to be infinitely more "serious" and important that the convoluted speeches of politicians, officials, academics and intellectuals who almost invariably elude the bulk and refrain from analyzing it with great success Machiavelli called "the real truth of things." I hope you do
case Barcelona because those who shout themselves hoarse rashly declaring the need to "deepen the model, you want also deepen the Financial Institutions Act Videla and Martinez de Hoz, or the Charter (ultraneoliberal) Central Bank concocted by Domingo F. Cavallo, or the outrageously regressive tax structure that raises taxes on "profits" (!!!) between employees and punishes with a brutal tax to low-income consumers while exempting from taxation the income tax or transfer financial assets of corporations while subsidizing big business and wealthy consumers? You want to deepen the effects of this raging factory poverty that is the "model" and the irritating economic inequality "chronified" despite very high rates of economic growth, or work "in black" that affects 40% of workers, including within the public sector itself, or indifference to the claims against open pit mining, the preservation of glaciers and forests, or the return of land to indigenous people (if Qom, these days )? Do you really want to deepen this?
These are some, not all of you, of the features that characterize the "model" you want to accentuate. You want to deepen the foreign ownership of land uncontrolled (now, belatedly, it would contain, when the most important has already been transferred into foreign hands), maintaining the plundering of mineral and hydrocarbon resources without fiscal control; , keep up the charade of INDEC's figures, continue to develop an industrial project without a country conceived by the "model" as an exporter of primary goods (agricultural, mining, oil and gas)? Does it want to go further? of what it is to deepen the model but to change it once and , without throwing by overboard everything done, preserving some successes (even if inadequate, as the universal child allowance and the extension of retirement benefits) but moving rapidly in a new direction consistent with the imperatives of justice and equity without which any democracy becomes a farce and turns into a plutocracy disguised. Hopefully this year, so full of electoral contests of all kinds, one can open a serious and rigorous discussion the "model" in which capital letters are frontispiece claims Videla names, Martinez de Hoz, Cavallo and Menem. For who may think about such ideological bases can construct an alternative "progressive" - \u200b\u200bor say left! - for Argentina?
