Romero and wheat grain viable

29 years ago today, in what would be his last homily, Oscar Arnulfo Romero raise ed that:

the grain of wheat must die to bear fruit

A day earlier had called his most famous , stronger and more committed among the many who had to sue the cessation of military repression against the civilian population.

The need to stop running squad death, to stop the disappearances, abductions, torture, murder ...

prophetic his words would he be content in wheat grain slain, but just as prophetic was his announcement of the resurrection in the Salvadoran people.

On the anniversary of his assassination, we see the fruit as its effect on memory and the commitment of so many Salvadorans and Central Americans to building a more just, compassionate, humane and inclusive.

Is a Constituent Assembly?

Recent years we have witnessed major changes in the Costa Rican political framework: development models that come in crisis, constitutional reforms that come "for the kitchen," loss of credibility and spaces in the traditional political parties, new emerging forces, an increasingly important role active part of civil society organizations and many others are part of the landscape in which we live every day.

traditional political actors seek to reposition itself in this space, however, before the breakdown of traditional bipartisanship Plus Car started that ended up being a monster with two heads, there have been times in repeated calls "crisis of governance." Founding of this discourse of lawlessness was Jose Maria Figueres-bad-who insisted that this country could not govern.

following Governments moved between failed attempts to "combos" and set up dummy-Rodríguez, or shipped to Abel Pacheco.

Currently, the Arias brothers retake the discourse of lawlessness. Thus, our captain of a sinking ship has drawn attention to the "tired" of having to give an account of various acts of dubious reputation has asked "to be left to govern" and any act of opposition accuses of "obstructionism" to justify This limited capacity have been taken to build national and negotiate agreements with the various political factions in the country.

The other brother, echoed his captain's tired, take a step beyond the complaint, and thus, in addition to scold journalists, launches into the ring a proposal calling for the convening of a Constituent National Assembly. This should be known, principally, issues concerning the structure of the state. In this respect, directly requested the strengthening of the executive branch, extending its powers, and therefore, varying the balance of power towards a state where opposition forces would be minimized their ability to act.

presidential duo to the fraternal, those are desirable conditions for the planned return of the clan to power in 2014 (aspiration accepted by the minister today.)

However, the proposal to convene the executive does suffer from various ailments since birth: first, a proposal like this, who needs a broad national discussion, input will never be well received in an election year. Thus, criticism of the attempt to concentrate power to the president who announces the son of his own mother encounter rejection within the same party in power, for scaring away every week controversy that hit the little credibility that remains to various sectors government, stir it, they emerge more and more cases of corruption in the institutions of government becomes untenable and sell the idea that the solution is just to give executive more power to control and minimize space.

A second point where we can call into question that goes through a business opportunity: rather than send it as an initiative of the executive in times of national political polarization had convened a comprehensive national forum that would reach this conclusion. Remove the label "Arias" with the proposal now is to give some breathing space to see if he survives ... Unfortunately, the proposal reads like a ploy extended family over for the next guaranteed spaces that could not be enjoyed in this ...

A third point of debate has to do with the reserves in the project when it was announced that she would convene a constituent but would be committed not address issues of rights and guarantees (individual and social). And is that a fully sovereign Constituent Assembly ... therefore it is announced that this issue will not be touched, can only generate mistrust, since there is no legal ability to enforce this commitment. The only reminder of the history of our present Constitution leads us to this point: was called to work with a draft constitution which was immediately discarded to fit on the basis of the Constitution of 1871. What could make the Executive at the time? For absolutely nothing else to submit to the will of the constituent body.

this sense, the strategic blunder that has had so far, could seriously question: Is there or is there delegitimization lawlessness and loss of government authority?

you born dead the possibility of this call? It seems that if not dead, another with little chance in the short term ... But rescuing the positive, open space initiative to start a national debate on the state model we want as if something hit the Dynamic Duo Zapote is that the Costa Rican government is in need of structural reforms. Continue ...

"El Salvador will win?


Today has made the presidential election in El Salvador and at the time of this writing, with little more than eighty percent of the minutes of vote counted, the FMLN has an advantage, small but enough to see a clear trend: The Front won!

Years of war, negotiations, martyrs and missing, a difficult transition to the end of the war, a violent peace, twenty years of ARENA, seem to usher in a new era. At last it appears that reconciliation is possible ... and that democracy is a bit more real ...

The uneasy calm that the Front is only expected inheritance of so many fears ... but it seems that hope is also possible for the Thumb.

With this result, El Salvador joins an increasingly strong current in Latin America to withdraw from the neoliberal orthodoxy that ruled for twenty years and that ARENA is representative and worn for many years in government.

However, to achieve the Front had to abandon its hard-line speech left with a candidate outside the guerrilla past, but friendly and socially engaged. The front comes with a moderate speech, foreign the revolutionary past, but even of large sections so often repressed.

These promotions of a new Latin American left, reinforce the reading of a failed development model neoconservative collapsed, excluding and segregating, but become a big challenge, building a model emerged from the Latin American, recognizing regional specificities and cultural rights, outside the dogmas that have come from all directions and so seldom worked.

Is it possible for America to find their own way?

The International Women's Day ...

Today March 8 marks the International Women's Day, many centuries of subjugation, struggle, exclusion, maternity, if the visible face of poverty, expect to be able to choose, of hopes, of patriarchy, Big Mama, being the only minority that is greater in number than the majority of deferred desires of their way to pushing, to gain space, to visualize the missing to win, so many other things ...

At first, ideally there is not this day, because there should be no grounds to be held to have lived or live now in a truly equal, in a truly inclusive society, unfortunately not, and why today's celebration as more than the memory of what happened is the recognition of the achievements and the call to that is pending.

should not be saying much, because the voice today should be on them ... we know only that some effort to listen.
