On Wednesday I got to participate, along with many friends, the 2010 census, I was in La Matanza from 7 am until after 1 am today, when in the middle, we learned between tears Nestor Kirchner had died, people are dying every day and every loss hurts, but not just any person who left us but has become, like it or hurt anyone, the life of Argentine ALL .
I have no many words to define or express what they really feel, all the while my eyes fill with tears, is a mixture of feelings, sadness, emptiness ...
Actually I was lucky to know (with John) at a dinner in Puerto Madero (in Piperno if I remember correctly) and in all sincerity, I dazzled and captivated by his speeches were not the "typical politician" but had, even so, something interesting guided by the most absolute common sense at that time dreamed of being President Nestor in 2007 and invited us to walk with the entire Argentina. (Strictly speaking, I thought, "This guy is a fart, missing 6 years and now wants to walk out of Argentina.")
The dynamics of politics and economics Argentina made that same 2001, the country will fly through the air and the string of events that we all know put it, by popular vote in the Armchair Rivadavia from where it was (the enumeration of achievements, detailed below, it robs Mempo Giardinelli, sorry!)
- who changed the public policy of human rights in Argentina. Nothing less. Now some say they are "fed up" the case, as others criticized whenever it was a more declarative than anything else. But Nestor did it: what began and was consistent. And so he earned the respect of millions.
- who changed the Supreme Court, and no matter if after the Court has failed to change to Justice in Argentina.
- who opened the files of secret services and thereby shifted the trial of the terrorist attacks Jewish community in the '90s.
- The regaining public control of the Post, Water, Airline.
- who sought and achieved the invalidation of laws that prevented the truth and punish perpetrators of genocide.
- who changed our foreign policy by ending the limping carnal and other antics.
- who ordered a consistent and progressive educational policy as we did not have for decades, and changed the infamous Federal Education Law Menem by the current, which is democratic and inclusive.
- That began to change policy towards teachers and retirees, who for many years were two most backward sectors of the country wage.
- radically changed the defense policy, so that now the country is beginning to have a different military, democratic and subject to political power for the first time in its history.
- He who began a plural management culture, which now covers the whole country and not just the city of Buenos Aires.
- who started the first tax reform in decades, which still lacks a lot but now can record collections.
- who renegotiated the foreign debt and ended the dictatorship of the IMF stupid. And for the first time the Central Bank manages a national policy and record currency.
- who settled the infamous business of the administrators and recovered for the state welfare.
- who, with the new media law began to limit the absolute power of the dictatorship of private newspaper that still distorts the heads of millions of compatriots.
- who promoted the equal marriage law and maintains a policy against discrimination as ever had.
- who managed economic growth the highest in the world with clear industrial recovery, stability of almost a decade and declining unemployment. And it goes further, because it is near the new banking legislation, which will end one day these with the legacies of Martinez de Hoz and Cavallo.
All this he did with Cristina, who is and will continue doing, with all the mistakes you can blame EVERYTHING, but with all this in, good and bad, is it better than lived since 1980, I was born and so, and I think any model can be improved, and that thanks to Nestor and Cristina, my friends "apolitical" Today we discuss politics with passion and fervor, and showed us that politics is the only tool where you can change reality, and we showed that we should not accept things as they are raised, and that we again have hope, and that we became part of Latin America, and so today, when I went to see him off at the Government House, there were thousands of kids between 20 and 30, such that a couple of years were "apolitical" and today probably believe that the only way out Ezeiza is nothing more but to fight it, I can think of thousands of "whys", but I will not bore you, the Plaza de Mayo yesterday and today is a sign that people do not eat glass and does not believe what the newspapers invented, today more than ever, people spontaneously farewell with gratitude to a former president, who will forever be just Nestor ... NESTOR THANKS!
Pd. Entelechy God or any higher if there is, please send us more thin cross-eyed, open bags, moccasins and women easy living, with the elegant, prepared and well-spoken women married to politicians double name we were very bad.
