‘The privilege of listening and feeling Martha Argerich’

I had the privilege of hearing and feeling Martha Argerich a few days ago. How much effort, her whole life dedicated to the sacrifice whose gift allows us to rise to Olympus when her prodigious fingers sweep us into ecstasy. Life is not easy when it requires that unwavering dedication required by the technique to be a vehicle of the highest spirituality. Fame is the tinsel with which people are dazzled. When the true prize for the blessed was much earlier when he was able to overcome all the difficulties that his animality entails and can be a vehicle for that approach to the divine: concise melodies, which is the supine thing that is allowed to the human being in his elevation spiritual.

I do not want to define it as Argentine because these headdresses of God are true citizens of the world, as Einstein wanted. What nobility of spirit, it occurred to me to compare it with the moral degradation that prevails today in this land that saw it born and did not know how to provide it with the excellence and the means to retain it and, therefore, have to flourish outside borders.

I felt a deep pain as I reviewed the degradation that surrounds us. How could we have sunk so low? How many adore a stealer of goods and of all progress that collapsed the country? How do we not enter into the most heartbreaking horror just by thinking that respect, the enthronement of truth, the vigorous rejection of blatant lies, purity of spirit and, above all, respect and submission to Justice, that vigilante that guarantees the equality of all with all?

How such degradations of honor, of healthy spirit, of the high forehead – not as the pride of the weak but as the right to look straight ahead – with a conscience in peace, have escaped from our daily life?

Thank you Mrs. Argerich for this breath of purity of spirit in this passage through the land where you were born and excuse me for everything you can see around you. I feel a strong embarrassment of others.

The trial for the Vialidad case against the vice president

Let’s do this exercise by trying for a match. Let’s accept that there was lawfare around Cristina. But are the deductions to the cell phone of the former Secretary of Public Works presented by the prosecutor Diego Luciani false? The official documentation provided shows that there were 24 works paid for by the State that were not carried out and 65% of the others (begun) were not completed in a timely manner and were not penalized. Has this been adulterated? The denounced operation for Austral Construcciones to stop working in January 2016 (days after the assumption of Cambiemos) leaving more than 3,000 workers on the street… was it executed or not? Are there any unpaid bills? Or did he charge up to the last peso, including several works without starting or finishing?

From these deductions it can be deduced that “the lady” or “the boss”, López and the different actors (who were officials), in order to give and/or receive instructions or communicate via WhatsApp with other officials (or CFK’s private secretaries), were perfectly aware of everything.

If everything stated by prosecutor Luciani is true, it is useless to discuss whether lawfare existed or not, because what Justice must prove and punish is fraud and damage to the public coffers of such a social political scam.

Prosecutor Luciani did not finish speaking and from the Government they put out a statement defending the vice president and questioning the Judiciary. It was not noticed that they already had it prepared, and surely checked with the beneficiary, lest it be something that he does not like. Mr. President, with his attitude, you violate the entire population. He should have stayed out of his opinion since doing so, and with a case in progress, is an unconstitutional act.

It would be good if the Argentine Justice investigated mayors and governors who declare and sign petitions affirming that Cristina is proscribed by the Justice. It would be logical to think that they are part of the illicit association that benefited from the highway contracts. The fish dies by the mouth.

The naturalization of fanaticism in officials

“Rural leaders must whiten their political ideology” said the new Secretary of Agriculture and then tried to justify it. According to the official website of the ministry, his functions are different, and nowhere does he mention passing his interlocutors through a filter of political ideology. In the 21st century, returning to these fascist practices fills us with uncertainty and makes us think that they have appointed the wrong person. But as always it seems that they are allowed to do and say anything as long as they belong to the caste of party militancy.

Nothing has changed for us to expect transparency and honesty. The Human Rights secretary exploits her domestic worker. The Minister of Health organizes the VIP vaccination. The President flagrantly violates his own decree (in quarantine). National Parks hands over the Lanín volcano to the Mapuche community.

In the first world, the “clean record” and suitability are unavoidable conditions for all public officials; here we are very far. I remain hopeful that this will change so that my children can return to their beautiful country.

Another reader’s “comprehensive view” of the crack

The much criticized crack practically does not admit chiaroscuro. His detractors do not recognize any benefit. However, Oscar Samoilovich -in a letter published in Clarín- refutes that widespread conviction. He encourages us to reflect and, above all, not to give up. He argues that, without dissent, we would be prone to single-mindedness and unable to oppose authoritarian regimes. He appeals to a list where he reflects abuses recorded at various times and by leaders of different ideological persuasion. He exhorts us to imagine what our future would have been if we had not been able to distinguish the prevailing differences and fight against the harmful ones.

In short, the crack, according to his testimony to which I adhere, forces us to ask ourselves what reason there would be to live without it. We would lack contrasts and we would be prevented from opting for the most suitable solution. Contrary to what is believed, an opportunity and not a sentence nests in it.
