Cristina in the mirror of "Maduro Eterno"

The next national elections mean the last chance for Argentina. I am not talking about the possibility of completing a better or worse government program, or a more or less successful economic plan. Not even the unprecedented fact that a non-Peronist administration could end a period without the general's followers could overthrow it before the time, as they did with Raúl Alfonsín, Fernando de la Rúa and the rosary of presidents that happened to him. I want to say that this is the last chance to prevent our country from finally falling into the dark and endless chasm in which Venezuela rushes today.

It was impossible not to notice that Nicolás Maduro, like Hugo Chávez at the time, was considering staying in power with or without the vote of the Venezuelans. In fact, there were countless voices inside and outside Venezuela that anticipated the humanitarian and institutional tragedy of this Caribbean country.

Maduro is the continuation of Hugo Chávez, since Cristina Fernández was the saga of Néstor Kirchner. As many say, there is no break, but a perfectly drawn line, the natural course of populism that would have ended in the same place was led by Chavez, Maduro or any other figure of the regime. If Kirchnerism had continued to power thanks to Daniel Scioli or another articulated doll arranged by Cristina, Argentina would have collapsed in the same way as Venezuela.

Nicolás Maduro is preparing for the total exhaustion of his country. Having become de facto president today, he plans to take 15 tons of gold from the Central Bank to sell them to the UAE. It was precisely the destination that was waiting for Argentina on the road to the depletion of reserves and the exchange rate trap imposed by the eccentric Axel Kicillof. And, without a doubt, it would be the future that would await Argentina if local Chavismo partners returned: hunger, repression and looting.

They did it once and would do it again tomorrow, full of resentment and thirst for revenge. They announced it as soon as they had the opportunity. Despite the rhetoric and incredibly progressive makeup, kirchnerism has been the most repressive government since the reestablishment of democracy. According to CORREPI data, during the efforts of Néstor and Cristina Kirchner, 3070 people were murdered by the Federal Police, the Provincial Police and the Prison Service. Not to mention the disappearance of the witness Julio López and that of Luciano Arruga, found dead after being arrested by the police in La Matanza. And without including in this list the murder of the prosecutor Alberto Nisman. The dark times would wait for Argentina.

In view of these bloody precedents, the indignant reaction of Kirchner's leaders to the alleged foreign interference in Venezuela is strange to say the least. Those who have traveled the world to spread the false kidnapping of Santiago Maldonado and seek the condemnation of other countries to the Constitutional Government of Argentina are the same as those who tear themselves up today in front of "outside interference" in Venezuela from Maduro. Just recall the spirit of intervention of the former Secretary of Commerce Guillermo Moreno when he sent a shameful letter to Christine Lagarde begging him not to grant credit to him. ;Argentina. Mayra Mendoza threw herself at the feet of Vladimir Putin to denounce the "lack of rule of law" in Argentina. In the language of the Sepoys, he implored the Russian President: "Vladimiiiir is very important! Argentina needs help! Cristina is a victim of LawFare.They want to imprison him for no longer being President! ". Incredible but true.

I was in Caracas when Hugo Chavez closed Radio Caracas Televisión (RCTV), in May 2007, after 53 years of career. I remember that my editor-in-chief, "progressive left", as she defined herself, euphorically celebrated the fall of this media "pitiyanqui". Since then, I have never submitted a book to Venezuela, not because of censorship, but because of the lack of paper. In January 2010, Chávez had already closed six television channels and promoted a plan to close 30 stations and take full control of the media. "It will be rain, shine or lightning, cry or cry the oligarchs," roared Chavez. Socialism of the 19th century.

If Kirchnerism returned to power, it would move in the same direction and do what it did not realize at the time: close the means that are not related. This is not a presumption for what they have done to the government, but a certainty based on what they do today as an opposition. The image of Mr. Grabois and his militants forcibly entering Cbad 13 and TN is not a picture of the past, but of a possible future. These are of course the same Grabois driving today Cristina Kirchner and justify the mbadacre perpetrated by the repressive forces of Maduro.

It was impossible to ignore the eternal ambitions of the Venezuelan regime. In fact, Hugo Chávez was born in politics on Tuesday, February 4, 1992, when he led a coup attempt aimed at overthrowing constitutional president Carlos Andrés Pérez. The attempted coup d'etat failed and Colonel Chavez surrendered. Maduro is today the de facto president who tried to become Chávez in the early nineties. But progressivism is determined to build revolutionary illusions among fascists of all time. The totalitarian tendencies of Kirchnerism expressed by Diana Conti in her thesis "Cristina Eternal" are a direct legacy of Juan Domingo Perón. The story of Chávez is an imitation of that of Perón: both were colonels when they rose against the Constitution: Perón in 43 and Chávez fifty years later.

With regard to the illusions of some intellectuals, it is necessary to point out that even the very founder of "21st century socialism" has just left the boat that he built. Indeed, the German sociologist Heinz Dieterich, who whispered in the ear of Chavez the totalitarian libretto that the soldier recited perfectly, today ignores the failure of Maduro as if one was not the consequence of the other. The Socialist International has just done something similar by giving up the Venezuelan experience. It's natural: no one wants to take care of the creature. With the exception, of course, of Cristina Kirchner and her army which, as always, embodies the delusions of eternity and goes in the opposite direction to that of history. The electorate that enriched Nicolás Maduro in his day is the same as today does not know how to get rid of him. This monster is not foreign to them; This is his creation. The Argentineans now depend on a future as similar to the past that we may never be able to come back to.
