The sterile womb of Creole politics

The word “criolla” for me is associated with artistic sweet, chácara, scraping, bienmesabe. But when it comes to politics, Creole is deeper. It is this immersion in reality that we live and that goes beyond the senses and pleasant memories. The rough recognition of those harmful habits that we think about every day, that stagnate our society and that force those legions of converts to the religion of playing alive to progress, raises clergy behavior of robbery and theft of public propertywhich breaks the window of human social sensitivity, depriving her of any light of empathy.

Let’s not be such unfortunate naïves, who abound in moralistic cradles that they cannot overcome, who advocate that man is all good and all spiritual. Without the right dose of business audacity and healthy entrepreneurship, we would not be where we are we are today, in this era of modernity. However, when that impudence and immodesty typical of the job contaminates whatwith policy aquifers, things change. The aggressiveness of the market is then brought to the level of the social home of coexistence; the awareness of solidarity is lost, which should weave together the well-being of all, without benefiting anyone in particular. It is not about whether a politician should change or not, as if it is a matter of his discretion. If he fails to do so, at least temporarily, during the performance of his duties public services, then distorts and denigrates them.

So practice a public duty of an elective nature – or derived from power – it should always be for short periods only, so that personal customs do not become entrenched and entangled in the midst of fleeting exercises of impersonal power; so that government positions – except career ones – never become too comfortable for someone, covered with the velvet of joys that are unstoppable inMan when he can’t control them.

The reality is that positions where collective power is delegated They should be extremely short, so that established larvae do not settle in them, so that the person who spends them knows that there is a real memory of what he should be forever waiting for him: a citizen. There, to be a citizen, who shows commercial skills and ambitions, who is colored to the bone with that profit motive which is an incredible wheel in business; but in his life as a public official, at least for the necessary time, let him leave the bag of blind ambitions and become an exceptional being. Then our Creole politics would never be a sterile exercise, nor he would confuse public exercise with digestionas is usually done.
