far as can be seen, the second round will consist of what he described as an insane dilemma: u Ollanta Humala and Keiko Fujimori, poor choices in democracy. Unfortunately, applications closer to a liberal and progressive political alternative were unable to build a broader proposal that could avert the dangerous situation that has materialized over today. The desire for ownership of some candidates, the infiltration of tables ultraconservative in some lists as well as the presence Alan Garcia has consistently in this campaign have finished configuring this disturbing political scene. It's time to discern - sadly, once again - the lesser evil. As in the ancient tragedies.
I'm not washing my hands and engage in what I called once Narciso ethics and politics of evasion. I will not vitiate my vote, I will not avoid this heartbreaking dilemma. As things stand, this time I will vote for Ollanta Humala. With regret, of course. I will not be for nothing "neutral" in the civic battle that comes, I'm sorry, but it will. Wait, of course, to see which establishes partnerships and what steps you take on the path of the second round. Some people believe that the environment surrounding Earn Peru - as Alberto Adranzén, Silesio López and Javier Diez Canseco - has a pretty solid democratic credentials, in contrast to more disembodied exponents of conservative authoritarianism as Martha Chavez and Luz Salgado. Fujimori recognize the greater evil, a choice that I find morally unacceptable. I lived in Peru in the nineties and I will not repeat the experience. The Fujimori means - in the light of history - the unpunished violation of human rights, amnesty law, the purchase proven media and consciousness, the failure of democratic legality, the degradation of politics and the word blatant concentration of power, corruption and patronage, forced sterilizations, the lowering of the population through the gift and bribery, good friends with drug trafficking, persecution of the press and opposition politicians, the desire reelection. Those times can not return. Alberto Fujimori was convicted of murder, is a terrible message to the civilized world that her daughter (no more "merit" than their DNA) is tempting the presidency of the country.
People of my generation remember the enormous effort made to defeat us peacefully to a corrupt and authoritarian regime who spent a decade considered the "perfect dictatorship" by resorting to blackmail, political persecution and tecnocumbia. We remember the protests, washing the flag, the signatures for the referendum, the March of the Four. The beat in the realm of ideas and in the streets. And do it again if necessary. The times required. Before our eyes, Fujimori can not wash your face. Here we are. We will attempt - with the weapons given democracy - so that in the second round to stay on the road.
Updated: a very good article on the subject . Gustavo
