WHY
70% OF PARAGUAYAN PEOPLE DOESN’T APPROVE THE CURRENT
GOVERMENT?
This week we find out, through different media, with
the survey taken ahead by the company First, Analysis
and Studies, belonging to Francisco Caplim, where the
carried out sampling shows clearly the widespread disapproval
to the facto government of González Macchi.
The survey of First was made between February 7th and
11th, among those registered in the national census,
elders than 17 years. A total of 422 cases were surveyed
in Asunción and other the towns as San Lorenzo,
Lambaré, Luque, Fernando de la Mora, Capiatá,
San Antonio, Areguá and Nueva Italia. The survey
was made by areas, with correction for sex quotas, age
and socioeconomic level.As it can be seen in the right
frame, 70,3% does not approve the administration of
González Macchi and only 20,2 % approve it. If
we add to this the perception that the citizenship has
about the general situation of the country with 57,5%
that answer "very bad"' and 30,1% that answers
"bad"', we are in front of a disappointed
society.
This
negative perception seems not to have any political
cost to the argañism, since its pre-candidate
to the vice-presidency of the Republic, Félix
Argaña, heads the preference of an eventual national
electorate with 19,9%, followed by Enrique Riera with
15,3%, Guillermo Caballero Vargas with 6,7% and Julio
Caesar Franco with 5,8% (middle frame). |
Beyond
the crisis that the coalition is now passing on, and
in which one the Liberal Party seeks to take out advantage
(now they want to appear as the good boys of the movie),
please allow us to make a small summary of the political
map of what it was called a "Government of Coalition",
it will be able, through this way, to understand the
reasons by which each other of the Paraguayan people
manifested this way in the above mentioned survey.
GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL UNIT
When the facts of the "Paraguayan March" took
place, the new government was integrated with representatives
of the Colorado Party (Movement for Colorado Reconciliation),
of the PLRA (Liberal Party) and of the National Encuentro.
The conformation of the representatives of the Movement
for Colorado Reconciliation (MRC) it is easy to appreciate,
by the way in which the "positions were distributed"
inside the government.
* A first group managed by Senator Juan Carlos Galaverna
(calé) and integrated, in their basis, by Juan
Ernesto Villamayor, Carlos Podestá and Juan Manuel
Morales. We could say that this it is the most dangerous
group for their voracious appetite of power and because
they have the non restricted support of entrepreneurs
with great economic influence. Among these it stands
out Eduardo Nicolás Bó (Mbílo Bó),
owner of the Daily NOTICIAS and of CARDINAL Radio, adding
to the danger of this group, their new alliance with
Engineer Wasmosy.
The representative of this group and in charge of manipulating
every president's González Macchi steps, it is,
precisely, Villamayor, General Secretary of the Presidency,
who also has full and absolute control of all the privatizations.
This group has been located in important positions of
the Government (Podestá at CONANTEL and Morales
at the Superior Tribunal of Electoral Justice) or it
has act as godfather in the appointment of its followers
in positions of relevance inside the Public Administration.
Let us remember that Galaverna and Villamayor are syndicated
as accomplices of Edgar Cataldi (former -president of
the BNT) in the peculation of that bank.
They respond unconditionally to the interests of that
group the current Ministers: of the Internal Affairs
(Walter Bower) and of Public Works (José Alberto
Pages).
* The second group that comes off from the MRC, is "The
Family Argaña", represented by Nelson (Minister
of Defense), Félix (Municipal Councilman), José
Emilio (President of the National Bank of Development)
and, in general all the brother-in-laws, cousins and
other relatives who all have consented to positions
in the Public Administration.
It is said by a proverb that: Just a button as sample...,
that’s why this example will be enough.
Tati Sóla (husband of Pacholi Argaña)
was named as Member of the Itaipú Binational
Council of Itaipú and every money transferens
of the State should be necessarily carried out in the
Notary’s office of Pacholi Argaña and Shyrley
Hermosa (wife of Nelson Argaña)...
* As it could not be otherwise, in such a banquet, it
could not lack that "stone guest" (third in
the summary), and this is President González
Macchi himself who, in fact, it has been able to impose
some smaller entity appointments in the Public Administration.
It is not necessary to emphasize that he lacks absolutely
of conditions, he is a man lacking character and pusillanimous
and that he will never have imagined to consent to so
important investiture to which he was took by the circumstances.
* The fourth group is conformed by a militancy inserted
in the MRC. It is represented by Bader Rachid Lichi
(that doesn't have any influence in the government),
Martin Chiola (he administrates his feud, the Ministry
of Public Health and Social Welfare), Darío Filartiaga
(I.P.S) and Enrique García Zúñiga.
In general lines this group doesn't interfere in the
important decisions and they are very grateful to be
allowed to make money in their respective distributions.
* Finally, the fifth group occupies the sector of Nicanor
Duarte, that has really disappeared as Movement and
that they have been integrated totally to the MRC.
In the same way that those of the previous case, they
are grateful that they allow them to occupy positions
(Ministry of Education) or the Yacyreta Binational Entity
(Dr. José Alberto Alderete), among others of
smaller entity.
Belonging to the participation in the Government of
Coalition, through the National Encuentro Party, the
representatives of the same one belong, basically, to
the official sector of those managed by Senators Euclides
Acevedo and Mari Paz Castaing. Likewise, Guillermo Caballero
Vargas, tries to be secured in the Ministry of Industry
and Trade, in spite of the attacks made by Senator Galaverna
who would want that position to one of his follower,
to be able to win some more guaranies (money).
The Authentic Radical Liberal Party (PLRA) entered in
this coalition, we could say, with the left foot. Initially
those designated as Ministers of the Government belonged
to any of the two big movements: the Popular Movement
For the Change who rushed as candidate to Dr. Miguel
Abdón Saguier, and the Change For the Liberation
who promoted the Deputy Luis Alberto Wagner.
In the case of the Minister Wagner, he was objected
as well by one’s own as by strangers. Accused
for the discretionary and not very transparent handling
in their public function. The directory of its own party
realized his intention of being projected as candidate
to president of the PLRA, taking profits of the advantages
of the position and with the argument of not respecting
the Directory of the Party, that request his change
proposing a tern of candidates being designated the
Deputy Denis (Movement Piri) allied to the officials
of the PLRA.
The case of Dr. Saguier (Chancellor) it is that he was
victim of the attack of Senator Galaverna and their
allies: Mbilo Bó (Daily Noticias and Cardinal
Radio), Mina Feliciangeli and Victor Benítez
(Radio One, property of Engineer Wasmosy), reason by
which at the time of the rejection to the application
of extradition of Lino Cesar Oviedo from the Argentine
Republic, it was took an advantage the situation and
president González Macchi requested him the renouncement,
designating Dr. José Félix Estgarribia
(Change for the Liberation and ally of Galaverna).
It is not necessary to emphasize that Estigarribia has
renounce giving reasons that are in public knowledge
and taking note the intention and political decision
that the PLRA decide to move away of the Government
of Coalition.
CONCLUSION
All these antecedents, that the citizens of Paraguay
knows, don't make any more than to show the prebends,
the corruption and absence of prejudice of those who
integrate this coalition régime that has come
to impoverish and to sink in the misery to the Republic
of Paraguay.
People are not fools, they cannot deceive him any more.
Let us add to these antecedent that in Paraguay it doesn’t
exist a State of Right, it doesn’t exist judicial
security and, less still, it doesn’t exist democracy.
There it is more, the current régime has made
a clear violation of the Constitution with a verdict
(because it is not anything than that) of the Supreme
Court of Justice that without being part and being that
nobody consulted him, determined that González
Macchi should continue until the year 2003, violating
the Articles 137 and 234 of the National Constitution
of Paraguay, and becoming, in consequence in a DE FACTO
GOVERNMENT, and therefore subject to the clear constitutional
stipulations
Which
other explanation somebody will want to find in front
of the result of the survey that initially summoned
us?
