Aniversário de 40 anos da ditadura militar na Argentina: A constante tentativa da direita em deslegitimizar os movimentos sociais e esconder os horrores do regime militar

O terrorismo de Estado é uma prática que, como muitos sabem, fez parte do cenário político na América Latina na segunda metade do século XX. Dentre eles, um dos piores foi o regime que assolou a nação argentina, e que completou quarenta anos em 2016. O autodenominado Proceso de Reorganización Nacional, foi responsável por um doloroso período que durou sete anos.

Em matéria especial publicada pela Folha de São Paulo, foram levantados dados relacionados ao regime e os movimentos sociais que lutam exaustivamente para preservar a memória de um período tão cruel e marcante para muitas famílias.

A junta militar que governou a Argentina foi responsável por diversos seqüestros, atos de tortura e desaparecimento de crianças, que foram retiradas de seus pais e distribuídas para que fossem criadas por famílias de militares, um dos atos mais cruéis da história do país. Até hoje, muitas mães lutam para encontrar seus filhos roubados, um processo lendo e doloroso.

Em meio à infinidade de crimes e violações que se sucederam na época, muitos ainda se prestam ao papel de deslegitimar a causa dos manifestantes e negar a verdadeira face do extremismo de direita na Argentina.

Após longos anos de muito estudo e investigação, o país conseguiu apontar a existência de mais de trinta mil desaparecidos, um número de fato grande, que retrata a magnitude da violência aplicada pelos militares. Apesar disso, muitos ainda insistem em dizer que o número é falso, fruto de levantamentos fraudulentos por parte dos ativistas, um julgamento equivocado e repudiável.

Pelo contrário, estima-se que o número de desaparecidos, torturados e mortos possa ser inclusive superior ao que foi levantado pelos ativistas argentinos no decorrer dos anos. Apenas pode falar com propriedade sobre as seqüelas do terrorismo de Estado aqueles que sofreram na pele o terror de uma ditadura, como os filhos, esposas, pais e até avós daqueles que foram seqüestrados, torturados e mortos.

Entre os anos de 2003 e 2015, os Kirchner foram exemplo ao realizar um complexo levantamento de dados e fatos históricos, fomentando a prisão, julgamento e condenação de ex-oficiais do período militar que violaram os direitos humanos. Ao contrário do Brasil, após a redemocratização, a Argentina tornou-se reconhecida em todo mundo por perseguir com maestria os torturadores, e colocá-los em seu devido lugar, ou seja, atrás das grades.

Mesmo com a consciência cidadã mais desenvolvida em relação ao tema “ditadura”, a Argentina também conta com mentes atrasadas e pessoas descompromissadas com a justiça, como quando o jornal La Nación publicou um editorial criticando os processos em andamento contra oficiais que praticaram tanto atos de tortura, como outras violações. Felizmente, o editorial foi rechaçado pelos próprios funcionários do jornal, que protestaram contra tamanha insensatez.

O próprio ministro da cultura do atual presidente Mauricio Macri afirmou que considerava excessivas as perseguições aos violadores dos direitos humanos, e com essa fala, foi rechaçado pela opinião pública.

Declarações como essas, por parte de um ministro da cultura, cultura essa que foi estrangulada pelas ferozes mãos do fascismo, não é de se impressionar, pois até mesmo um grupo de advogados argentinos, da associação Justicia y Concordia, se manifestou favorável ao governo militar na Argentina, com argumentos delirantes sobre o “avanço do comunismo” no continente e a necessidade em conter a onde de terroristas. Lamentavelmente, a Justicia e Concordia tem a audácia de chamar os ditadores argentinos de heróis.

Com essas tristes declarações, lamentáveis, conclui-se que ainda há muito trabalho à ser feito, pois até mesmo o presidente Mauricio Macri se manifestou contra a abertura de novos processos contra os torturadores, enquanto muitas mães e filhos ainda buscam respostas sobre o paradeiro de seus entes queridos, e clamam por justiça.

Embora a Argentina tenha sido um dos maiores exemplos latino-americanos na perseguição de torturadores, o avanço da direita no país vem enfraquecendo os movimentos sociais e silenciando a voz dos parentes das vitimas, mas a força do povo supera toda e qualquer tentativa de cercear a luta pela democracia, e a democracia plena só é alcançada quando os antigos torturadores são punidos à altura.

Pinochet

En Brasil, Uruguay o Argentina, en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, el terrorismo de estado se hizo presente en una ola de asesinatos por parte de las autoridades legales en cada uno de estos países. En especial, en Chile, lo que ocurrió fue algo mucho más intenso y violento. En el dia 11 de septiembre de 1973, el general Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarde tomó el control del gobierno chileno, despues de un violento bombardeo al Palácio de La Moneda, donde trabajava el presidente electo Salvador Allende.

Allende, que tendria apojo popular y vocación para las questiones sociales, tenia ganas de cambiar la situación social de Chile y disminuir la desigualdade social. Acusado de estar intentando implantar una dictadura comunista en el país, Allende fue covardemente depuesto, en un día triste y simbolico, cuando aviones del ejercito bombardearon el palácio presidencial, encuanto trabajava en su oficina. Con el presidente muerto, el gerenal Augusto Pinochet inició un longo gobierno, marcado por derramamiento de sangre, tortura y censura a los medios de comunicación.

Pocos saben, pero la dictadura chilena que duró 17 años fue la más violenta de todas las demás en el continente americano, con apoyo total del gobierno de los Estados Unidos, que auxiliaron militarmente el ejercito chileno y ayudaron a destituir Allende. Con el pasar de los años, marcados por muchos casos de intensa tortura, el gobierno de Pinochet dejó más de 40.000 muertos y desaparecidos.

En un período sin libertad, Chile sufrió la terrible dolor del silencio, de la violencia estatal y ausencia de la participación política. Pinochet fue certamente el más sanguinário dictador de la América Latina. El peor de todo es que mismo despues de tantos crimenes contra el pueblo y la democrácia chilena, Pinochet murió en la impunidad, sin pagar por sus terribles hechos.

A covarde ameaça dos veículos de comunicação na América Latina

Nos últimos anos o poder das urnas deu espaço para uma expressiva presença de governos socialistas na América Latina. Os anos 2000 foram marcados pelo surgimento de grandes nomes da política de esquerda, principalmente na Venezuela e na Bolívia, como também, no Brasil, na Argentina e no Chile. Após sofrer significativa derrota nas urnas, o sistema neoliberal não se deu por vencido, e iniciou, por meio dos veículos de comunicação privados, uma massiva campanha contra os presidentes latino-americanos, focados em minimizar os atrasos sociais do continente, frutos das políticas colonialistas, neoliberais e dos governos autoritários de extrema direita, que fizeram da América Latina um verdadeiro quintal dos norte-americanos.

Com nomes como Hugo Chávez, Evo Morales, Cristina Kirchner e Luis Inácio, a América Latina pôde assumir um posto razoavelmente competitivo e se firmar como continente soberano e comprometido com o desenvolvimento social e cultural. Mesmo assim, muitos veículos privados passaram a investir contra esses líderes políticos que não atendiam aos almejos do grande capital e da elite econômica,, como Clarín na Argentina, a revista Veja no Brasil ou a RCTV na Venezuela, que protagonizou um dos capítulos mais vergonhosos para a comunicação na América Latina, quando deu respaldo ao golpe de estado que obrigou o presidente Hugo Chávez, eleito democraticamente, a deixar o Palácio Miraflores em Caracas, sob ameaça de ser bombardeado e morto, como foi mostrado pelo documentário La Revolución No Será Televisionada. Os veículos que apresentam participação majoritária no continente, em sua maioria, pertencem a oligarquias familiares que possuem vínculo com o capital internacional, e com isso, assumem a postura de porta-voz do sistema neoliberal.

De acordo com matéria publicada pelo site da revista Carta Capital no dia 17/06/16, por Victor Farinelli, ousadamente, Hugo Chávez e Cristina Kirchner foram dois governantes que bateram de frente com os grandes grupos, ao tentarem promover políticas para enfraquecer os monopólios e desenvolver emissoras governamentais, com programas educativos e culturais. Na Argentina, a Ley de Medios tinha o intuito de limitar o domínio dos monopólios e conter a precarização da informação, potencializada pelo vínculo dos grandes grupos de comunicação com o mercado, principalmente o mercado internacional. Com isso, o governo Kirchner foi acusado de estar censurando os veículos e limitando a liberdade de imprensa, o que na realidade é um equívoco, pois não se pode falar em liberdade quando apenas um grupo é responsável pela maioria esmagadora das informações que são veiculadas no país onde atua, tal como ocorre com o grupo Clarín na Argentina.

Da mesma forma, Chávez legalmente agiu contra o grupo RCTV ao não renovar sua concessão. Comprometido com a qualidade das informações transmitidas ao povo da Venezuela, o presidente Chávez tomou conhecimento das noticias forjadas que constantemente eram veiculadas pelo grupo e prudentemente agiu da melhor forma possível.

De maneira menos intensa, outros governantes latino-americanos tentaram driblar o poder dos grandes veículos, como fez a presidenta do Chile, Michelle Bachelet, que lançou um orçamento recorde para investir em emissoras de televisão públicas e criou um canal estatal voltado para a cultura. Isso potencializou uma onda de informações caluniosas ao seu respeito por parte de alguns veículos do país, vinculados ao neoliberalismo e insatisfeitos com a democratização da informação proposta pela presidenta.

Ironicamente, os mesmos grupos midiáticos que acusaram os governos social democratas de cercearem a liberdade, e que apoiaram notavelmente o fim desses governos, vide o que ocorreu no Brasil com a presidenta Dilma, hoje, sob o domínio de presidentes neoliberais como Michel Temer e o argentino Mauricio Macri, nada dizem a respeito das políticas comunicacionais duvidosas por parte de ambos presidentes. Na Argentina, após a divulgação do nome de Mauricio Macri nas listas dos Panamá Papers, o presidente lançou um projeto que prevê prisão para quem ousar denunciar casos envolvendo lavagem de dinheiro, criou emissoras estatais e eliminou da programação televisiva canais como o Russia Today e a TeleSur.

De maneira semelhante, o presidente interino do Brasil, Michel Temer, também foi seletivo ao distribuir verba pública para a comunicação, intervir nos meios públicos e limitar a manutenção de blogs e jornais alternativos com patrocínio do governo. Com isso, a comunicação no Brasil continua estando a mercê de grupos como a Editora Abril, o Grupo Globo e outros grandes veículos como a Folha de São Paulo, o Estadão e sites como o UOL, vinculado à Folha de São Paulo, o Terra e demais veículos igualmente expressivos.

Com isso, os veículos de comunicação vinculados aos grandes grupos vem conseguindo assumir posições privilegiadas e exercer influência sobre a formação cultural e direcionamento político dos povos dos países latino-americanos. A postura social democrata, os investimentos em informação de qualidade, educação e noção política, nada interessam ao sistema neoliberal, que possui total apoio da mídia de das oligarquias familiares que as controlam.

The new coup in Brazil

Is true that Brazil is passing by a dark time. facing the highest economical crise in history and being ruled by a corrupt and polarized political crew, whose are on a race to gain the control of the nation, enjoying the clime of tension and insatisfaction on the people to make political deals to make easier the acheaviment of the president´s chair.
The actual government, leadered by Dilma Roussef, an ex-militant during the militar coup in Brazil, who was tortured by cops and submitted to violations of the human rights, is facing the worst credibility crise of the brazilian new democracy.

Is true that president´s party, the PT (Workers Party), is compound by a big number of corrupt politicians, but the brazilian people is forgetting that many other parties are also involved on scandals, in the same proportion. 

The protesters against the government are not thinking and measurand that this Impeachment is just a process organized by the oposition, equally corrupt, to remove a democratically elected president and achieve the power without a formal, popular and democratic election.

The congress president, Eduardo Cunha, accused to have secret accounts in Switzerland, is recently making deals with Dilma´s vice president, from the same party, enjoying the protests to legitimize a non democratic act to impeach the president.
Dilma is being accused of fiscal irresponsibility, something that were made by other presidents in Brazil, which indicates that the real intention on this process is not respect the brazilian law, but apply an institutional coup. The process of impeachment, voted on this month by the congress, composed by one third of politics whose are responding by accusations of many different crimes, is on tramitation to remove a president without any accusation of corruption. What can we expect of a process against corruption leadered by a corrupt?

What proves that Dilma is not a corruption supporter is the fact that during her government, many processes were performed against organizations of politicias, including from her party, and she never tried to disturb the investigations and respected the legitimacy of those processes. Some people use to say that Brazil is facing the worst transparency crise ever, with the highest index of corruption in the history of the country, but the truth is that problems with the honesty of the politicians is part of the brazilian history, since the colonization, and now, the rot inside de political system is on the media, letting brazilian people know much more about the sad reality. Dilma, beside wasn´t mentioned on the delations, fight vehemently against the corruption, and probably, is being the target of those groups of politicias who want to run away of the investigations.

The president of the brazilian parliament Eduardo Cunha and the vice president Michel Temer, both from the PMDB. the most representative party in the congress, are arming an outrage to the Brazilian democracy, following a hipocrit discurse of a gang composed by criminals who are preying the public safes of Brazil, suported by the media and huge conglomerates of comunication which are endorsing the coup.

The intentions behind this Impeachment are related to the social vocation of Dilma´s administration, following the proposes of the predecessor Lula, giving more stability to the poors and workers in Brazil, something that is not interesting to the country´s high class.

The president elected by more than 54 millions of votes, though is not administrating well the economy in the nation, don´t have any indictiment, any!

The reality of the coup in course was recognized by the media all around the world, like newspapers, tv channels and magazines from France, England, Quatar, Argentina, Germany, Ireland, United States and many other countries.

The polarized country is being marked by protests calling for the impeachment or supporting the president, but the world must know that this process is a fake indirectly election, a way to gain the power without a democratical election.

La gasolina más barata del mundo

Sin embargo, la gasolina es uno de los productos de mayor utilidad para cualquier país o persona, pues es un bien de primera utilidad, lo cual nadie podría vivir sin. Por supuesto, los precios influyen mucho en la calidad de vida de los dependientes de la gasolina, que diariamente la necesitan para trabajar, llevar los niños a la escuela, o solamente salir a divertirse. Los altos precios de la gasolina poden ser un problema para toda la población de un país, que necesita de sus coches para hacer casi todo.

Se usted costumbra pagar un alto precio por la gasolina en su país, sepa que existe una nación hispanoamericana dónde la gasolina es increíblemente barata. 

Este país es Venezuela! Famosa por los problemas con la distribución de productos, violencia y grande cantidad de petróleo, esta república bolivariana es un país donde los precios de la gasolina hacerían envidioso cualquier ciudadano de otro país vecino.

 Con los precios de la gasolina más bajos que una botella de agua, Venezuela disfruta de la gasolina más barata del planeta. Este privilegio solo es posible porque el país ostenta la posición de nación con mayores reservas petroleras, y también, es uno de los miembros de la OPEP (Organización de los Países Explotadores de Petróleo).

Siendo así, es muy más fácil para que los jóvenes salgan a divertirse, pues con poco, pueden llenar el tanque de sus coches, o para los trabajadores, que en un país con Venezuela, donde es usual utilizar coches para la locomoción, el precio de la gasolina es algo tan importante. 

Así es un país socialista, dónde el gobierno piensa en cómo hacer con que los trabajadores ahorren sus salarios, intentando disminuir los costos cada vez más.
