no, no....no.....

Carlos Menem's new victory, for behind to the Argentina to a new humiliation like lamebotas of the imperialism yankee - British

The next one April 27 will be carried out presidential elections in Argentina. In the limits of the gobernabilidad politicians, appealing more and more to the coercion and the repression, president Duhalde forces to all coast the electoral calendar, attempting that the expectations of the national act, and the unfolding of the local convocations in a quantity of diverse dates in those that he/she will decide the election of provincial and municipal authorities achieves simultaneously several objectives:

1) to distract for a while to a great part of the political forces and of the society of their active participation in the social conflict
2) to fracture the possible alliances opositoras
3) to confirm a president that can drive the perforated ship, with hard hand, some more miles far.

The announcement carried out by president Duhalde, immediately after the murder of the picketers Darío Santillán and Maximiliano Kosteki, it looked for to brake for this road the climate of growing mobilization that demanded, from the 19 and 20 of December of the 2001 that all leave."

The candidates that today disputes with more possibilities, respond to the same politics taken ahead in every year. The main " contestants " come from the forces of the bipartisanship that govern Argentina from 1983 -year in that he/she retired the dictatorship -. Most tries to polarize the election with the former president Carlos Menem who meets with chances of being among the first two places in the first turn, to go to the second turn May 18.

In the first place until the moment he/she appears the current president's Duhalde candidate, the governor of Santa Cruz Néstor Kirchner, that according to some (last) you interview he/she leads for two points to Menem -. According to the data always controversial of these, the vote intention to president continues without showing a decisive tendency: no formula reaches 20% of the preferences.

Kirchner (PJ) it heads the chart with 18,9%, continued by Menem with 16,8% and Adolfo Rodríguez Saá with 15,6%. These three candidates come from the peronismo, and they have had important responsibilities in the application of the politicians that you/they led to the destruction of Argentina, Kirchner like governor of Santa Cruz, and Rodríguez Sáa (the most populist in the three) as governor of San Luis.

They continue in the vote intention two candidates coming from the radicalism: The impresentable Elisa Carrió with 12,9% and the ultra conservative Ricardo López Murphy with 9,8%. farther they appear Leopoldo Moreau (official candidate of the UCR) with 1,9%, the socialist Alfredo Well done with 1,1%, and the members of other left organizations as Patricia Walsh, of United Left, and Jorge Altamira, of the Labor Party.

The undecided ones add 11,3%. If they sink those that plan to annul the vote who you/they will vote in white and who don't have intentions of go to vote (it exists a campaign of several organizations piqueteras and popular assemblies with the proposal of not voting, or to vote in white), the figure is of 22,4%.

And between this criminal diáspora of bad people and worse intentions it arises as entity embedded in the corruption the menemismo; that it is not an internal fraction of the Partido Justicialista (like it is sought to make see), neither a circle of the leader's of Anillaco friends, in favor extra or not. It has been a way of expression of the radically unjust social structure of Argentina, of the conglomerate of impunities and criminal complicities that it crosses managers, bankers, Church, military, union leaders and of course to all the political parties of the system, ' tradicionales' and new, and that it took to the construction of the biggest level of exploitation, impoverishment and alienation of the Argentinean history. This cultural projection of the menemismo, embraces to several of the mentioned presidential formulas. They consolidate coyunturalmente this phenomenon, the historical debacle of the radicalism (starting from the inoperancy Alfonsinista and the one known fall of Of The Rúa), and the lack of alternative common of the popular movements and of left that limits the possibility to question to the political system from the root.
In Argentina there will be elections in April, but they won't be renewed the hopes.
