TEÓDULO LÓPEZ MELÉNDEZ, Writer and Journalist - Caracas, Venezuela
The republic-or what is of her - he carries out a trip level with the floor. One that consists on the permanent fright of the route obstacles, real or invented, that they make of the poor national ship a prone adventure to smash and of their passengers some sway drunkards to which they only assault him the arcades characteristic of the permanent sickness.
This ship that we still call republic is unable to raise flight before a sobredimensionado shipment of nonsenses, of ineptitude and of inheritance. The passengers of this prone ship to the disaster have their lives in being able to of those who insist on making parapente without current of winds and of who they dismantle them every day the directional fins or they determine to damage him the sailing instruments.
We can reproduce the favorable or appropriate image to our to move improperly for the air corridors of the history. In fact never we have flown respecting the norms of altitude and of security, we have never had airports with the instrumental one favorable to a non rash arrival. We seem still Juan Vicente Gómez looking at the air demonstration in their adoptive Maracay and ordering that some of those apparatuses were bought that they dared to run off with as insects or as heavy dinosaurs transformed into birds. The future for us has been an unstable poll of the failure. We have the mania that the world begins an and another time, while the telescopes discover extinct galaxies he makes five thousand million years.
What we have had in our history has been brief periods where the turbulences have been diminished. We have not known how to take a route of national growth neither to build a stable conscience neither to make civic neither to create institutions guarantors of a wide and adaptive juridical order that allowed us all the changes and necessary modifications but maintaining the control and the objectives clearly marked envelope the map of our historical sailing.
Venezuela has not been more than a tarabita, a rain butterfly that goes mad with the scents of the loaded atmosphere and he smashes against the walls. What they are not for other nations more than natural episodes of historical trips are for us habits, more than habits kind of a specially harmful virus that you/they lodge in our immune sailing hard disk to the efforts of eradication or at least of a considerable control in way reasoned as for expense and investment.
This last one and desfachatado period that approaches to one decade has-like we accustom - of main characters to the group militarist, to the group of small official that dedicated its time to orchestrate the planning of the assault for lack of war and of the kidnapping of the deteriorated ship of the republic. They are not more than that, still when they get dressed of red and proclaim as their task to revive the ghosts of last XX century. And of the other side the voice civilista no longer exists, the one of the birdcall of attention to the superior values. What we have, to change, they are not voices of the conscience that our many masters sowed, but argumentistas of the immediate thing, recurrent of the sentences that should not be pronounced, you structure of I copy that they simply dream of the return of the alternative of power to be placed in the place of those substituted.
It is necessary a new political paradigm, it clamors from its “Political Doctor” the good essayist that is Luis Enrique Alcalá. And who can put it in doubt? Nobody in their healthy trial cannot see as necessary the reorganization of the formal outlines of the nominal and verbal words to organize a group that overcomes to the shift ruler's untied verborrea in this country habituated to the group that leaves the Armed forces to climb in the power I lower any argument, now that of the socialist revolution of the XXI century.
That new political paradigm so obviously necessary-and consequence of an it transforms widespread of the politics's conceptions, among those which that their only purpose is the obtaining of the power - he doesn't find roots in this deteriorated ship of flight rasante. We listen in the civil opposition-civil because it is not military - only bargain sentences. It is not true, for example that the military commander of shift recoils toward a probable referendum on the curricular reformation for a “victory” of who opposed ourselves to similar mess.
He makes it because the only thing that interests him is their permanency in the power and he understands that the serious interference that he came for that cause will still affect more than what is he its possibilities in the regional elections. It happens that who they don't load uniforms green olive or red uniforms are not a new paradigm, they are hardly a new paradina that is not another thing that that low mount of grass for where it passes to level this republic which deteriorated ship, that grass where corrals are made for the sheep livestock or that they assume the other meaning, that of paradina like ramshackle walls.
Here we confuse the tactical movements with victories or you recoil them with good opportunity to give a press wheel. We not even learn the norms of the combat, if we not even know that when somebody recoils one it advances and it pursues him that when the opponent goes back he leaves on him. No, here the referendum of last December is won and we leave all to sing bagpipes and to eat hallacas.
Here one goes back in the raved purpose of reducing our education to exalt a “new man” that you dressed uniform and he resembles the “major” and we leave to contemplate the paradina from the windows of this flight rasante of a republic unable to take off. Call you in this occasion simple reduction to the indiscriminate launching of candidacies, to the game impostor of playing him dirty until the own party by means of the planning-we say - of the taking of Caracas for prefabricar a presidential candidacy.
We need a substitute company, one that raises the republic toward the upward and sure flight. We need - there is no doubt - to the actors of the new paradigm, to the new paradigm that he learns of the language the true construction of the offer. The new paradigm should know how to take advantage of the currents of air that are there that facilitate the ascension that you/they make easier the sailing up.
We are fed up with this flight level with the floor of a prone republic to smash. Venezuelans that we want to not elevate it with a fuel diminished for not well refined exist and fact exclusively of petroleum. That fuel-to be brief - he calls himself ideas, thought, citizenship exercise, avid pilots' behavior of finding a new paradigm that doesn't crawl in a corral of sheep livestock.
