Sanmartinian or Bolivarian "?
President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
just informed us that the FARC and the ELN are not terrorists but insurgents
. Take, for parties. To
the Royal Academy and the logic board, insurgent
is that rebels against authority and
terrorist is one who seeks to impose generating terror.
Affirmation Chavez does not seem happy: one is the
qualify for their purposes, to change the established order,
and the other by their means, using terror.
It is therefore not incompatible: you can have as
so changing an institutional system and at the same time
, to use for this purpose based media
terror. They are not exclusive.
In Argentina, we saw hope Taiana
Chancellor announced that this would be the beginning of more
releases, an application process without
conditions of pure humanitarian law.
But just a day later, on 11 January,
Chavez's words put things in another perspective
. These two releases were a
change anything: "I ask you to start
recognizing the FARC and the ELN as insurgent forces in Colombia and
not as terrorist groups."
And that is the crux of the matter: one wonders if
released them on humanitarian grounds but not by a political deal
. Give and take, freedom of
recognition. If there is no recognition may not have happened
mass releases, other than
Betancourt and privileged few more, just because
European pressure. In such event be
be to free the hostages over seven hundred
. At least the women and children.
Our culture imposes moral limits to action
policy. One of them is that the end justifies the means
. To claim legitimacy for
hijackers, Chavez calls dealt a fatal neglect
our principles. Francisco de Vitoria
From henceforth, political violence is justified when
half a tyranny
Against what tyranny rise the FARC? Colombia does not
social injustice. But do not give a
way worse than the rest of Latin America and there
works for years, a democracy comparable to any of the region
. No one is prohibited from entering
political struggle and pursue their objectives through the ballot
of his countrymen, but
FARC has refused to do so repeatedly.
What is the FARC? The latest politico-military organization
Latin American Marxist origin, which is funded
drugs and intends to finish the term constitutional
Colombia
-substantially identical to all of us, and
establish a system of socialist production
name of the dictatorship of the proletariat and under the
driving course, a minority
properly illuminated.
All this in the XXI century, when even Russia and China have abandoned
that way and painfully alone survive
North Korea, Cuba and Belarus
. Only the self-styled Bolivarian revolution
could become the fourth of the examples, but
the actions of Chavez is so far-fetched, that classify
often less useful categories of Raymond Aron
that
Alberto Vaccarezza.
Our region is torn between two incompatible
models. The Mercosur, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay
, that of Chile, Peru and Colombia. Or the
Chávez, Evo Morales, Rafael Correa and Daniel Ortega.
So far, all we have formed what is called a subsystem
within which to maintain International
diplomatic relations with
full recognition of the sovereignty of each of the other states.
But on Thursday the president of Venezuela
said, to applause from the foot of his entire
legislative assembly that the FARC are not only legitimate but
to further integrate himself
Bolivarian movement. This is an important
definition, since it calls
support a faction within a country that is not yours,
violating any possible interpretation of the right to non-interference
recognize that all our states and the OAS
UN contained in their charters
its essential elements own existence.
The Argentine government, like all his predecessors
constitutional, has also vowed to
sundry that it is an inviolable principle
. What will you say now? Pay attention, because it will
say on behalf of all Argentines
.
With this government and those who follow him, Argentina will have to choose
. Pronouncements like this that we are waiting
are the
bare the nature of the regimes that govern our countries:
right to noninterference, such as human rights
Are over ideological sympathy or apply only
against my enemies and for
of my friends? It
official clarification
let us learn if we will remain Republican
sanmartiniano or, like the FARC, and ascended to Olympus Bolivarian
. At two things together could not paste or Vaccarezza
.
