Bariloche : The PREMISES |
| One decade has
finished to a year and also. By Héctor Gabriel " Pepe " Castro * It does few days, in the middle of deficiencies of resources for health, education, development of the economy, investigation, etc., the call " economic model " showed its true face. After 10 years of strict application, during which all the political and social decisions were supeditadas to the economic rules of the " model ", the Argentineans, far from being enjoying the promised bonanza, officially we were notified that of not to have appeared the " Financial Shield ", we would have fallen in cessation of payments. The moment is propitious to formulate some reflections about which it is happening to us. - When assuming president Cámpora, in 1973, our external debt was of 8,100 million dollars. · When Isabel Perón was overthrown, the external debt had diminished to 7,300 million dollars. · the military process, with Martinez de Hoz, German Robert, Domingo Cavallo, next to other experts of confidence of establishment by means of, elevated that debt to 45,000 million dollars. · Raul Alfonsín, gave the power in 1989 with a debt of 63,000 of external debt. · Carlos Menem, after 10 years of government, with their privatizador plan including, triples the debt and leaves to the government with u$s 144,657 million national debt, and about (considered) of deprived 55,000 debt, to December of 1999. · Fernando Of the Rúa, a year later, to the 30-11-00, registered a national debt of 165,000 million, and one prevailed of around 60,000 million, according to data of the Dr. Raul Neck, ex- secretary of Finances of the Nation. He is advisable to clarify that until 1976, almost all the debt was public then, by the inflation, the companies did not dare to take credits in dollars. During the use of the " tablita " of Martinez de Hoz (1978-1980), the companies became indebted in u$s 13,000 million almost. In 1981, Cavallo like president of the Central bank estatizó the deprived external debt. The debt continued being public until the convertibility when the companies, specially the privatized ones were become indebted with the outside. With this reality, we arrived the 2000 with one by the end of makes specific alternative of cessation of payments. According to they announce, thanks to call Shield Financial, which same ones have lent us those who are going to receive interests and capital in risk of immediate Moor, we have surpassed the catastrophe momentarily. The conjuncture, more dramatic for our the multilateral creditors and organisms that stop we, this time could surpass " thanks " to a new loan of u$s 40,000 million. In order to have an idea of the gravity of the situation, we will indicate that this Shield of emergency, is equivalent to 63% of the debt that we had in 1989 when Alfonsín gave the power to him to Menem. The Shield is arrived within the framework in addition to a generalized depression, with the highest indices of unemployment, the greater registered levels of poverty in history, the precarizado work in fact by the necessity and urgency of people, with the regional economies in bankruptcy, the productive apparatus semi destroyed and the spending power of the population in its historical minimums. All the indicated situations, the common Argentinean must support them, in a grotesco frame in which: · the skillful solutions to surpass this situation, continue them imposing, without alternatives and like only possible economic model, such democratic " experts " or gurúes, nationals and of international organisms, that during the last decade came presenting/displaying " the Argentine model " like an example for the world. · These " experts " are such that during years they approved the management economic and of transformation of the government of Menem. - They are such that today they lack serious arguments to explain because Argentina, having applied all the prescriptions that imposed to him from international organisms, after 10 years of " model ", presents/displays a lamentable economic and social reality. · the " the concerned gurúes ", premises or, between whose stellar figures are ex- minister of Roque Economy Fernandez and his ex- vice-minister Carlos Rodriguez, the ex- secretary of Property Pablo Guidotti and the economists Daniel Artana (FAITHFUL) and Miguel Broda Angel, are such that without no flesh color and defending very concrete interests, they today try to continue giving chair on which is due to do and they forget the times in which with that same " authority ", they maintained things such as: - " it is not necessary to worry, because when the privatizations also finish the debt (public) will begin to finish ". - They weighed to ex- Saline Mexican president Carlos of Gortari like the model to follow. Shortly after Mexico, with Salt mines, entered a social and economic chaos, with outbreak of the type of change and prices and Salt mines of fugitive Gortari by corruption and with the disrepute of all the Mexicans. - They were " the defenders of the automatic pilot " and the theory that the best industrial policy is the one that does not exist. - declarations in the exchange tablita Did please (Rodriguez and Fernandez) of Martinez de Hoz. - They were some of them, the inventors of the tax to the interests, only in the world that punishes the takers of credit, or the tax to the presumed rent, by which those that they have breaks pay as if they had won. In case this outside little, the common Argentinean, the common man, those that constitute the immense majority of those who inhabits this country, those that during many hours to the day work, produce, take care of their companies or uses, their obligations are modernized, enabled, paid, educate their children, etc., must support a massive bombing of messages, that interesadamente, they want to attribute to our evils to a perverse idiosyncrasy and social and individual behavior Argentineans. Thanks to this feeling of fault with which they have bombed to us, are that today tame and resignadamente we are paying a celebration, of that we have not participated, of whose benefits we have not enjoyed, but whose costs we are paying and undergoing every day more dramatically. For all these reasons, it is that last days when it read an article published in the traditional ABC newspaper of Madrid (monarchic and of rights), comforted his vision of our reality, the one to me that in my opinion, it interprets suitably what us this passing and to which we are being put under. The idea was born therefore to share the Spanish publication and these reflections of a common patagónico. ABC begins indicating: " More than 150,000 million dollars of external debt - an impressive economic drain that forces to destine 17% of the budget to pay single the interests that win in the 2001- have caused the practical bankruptcy of Argentina. Two years and means of continuous recession, and the conviction of which the crisis has not touched bottom, seems to have exhausted the endurance of an admirable nation in their will to control to the crisis. Between the hyperinflation that frame the end of the government of Alfonsín and the chimera lived to the arrival of Menem, the Argentineans were witnesses of a false economic miracle that it was revealed, with the passage of time, like a pure mirage. With the national patrimony eliminated by the privatizations, to Argentina it has left the value of its people, the main assets from a country to the drift and seriously pawned. Catched without exit Catched by the iron hands of the IMF and the foreign bank, that impose their prescriptions, Argentina faces a most dangerous social situation consequence of the macroeconomic imbalances and the lack of competitiveness. Fourteen million poor men and almost four million indigentes. Two million unemployed people and almost two million and means in conditions of shamefaced labor precariedad conform the devastating landscape of the reality of the Latin American nation. Miraculous prescriptions do not exist. Argentina is a patient badly cured who has fallen seriously in the last months. Seriously touched for years, the Peronism of Menem I have been raising it of the bed with own ointments of the curanderismo. The companies in being able of the State were sold, in many cases without control, and the obtained benefits allowed certain improvement. It was a useless remedy, because behind there was nothing. Neither firm structures nor programs nor a oriented policy to recompose a system in crisis. Now the patient worsens and any solution will have to be, necessarily, painful."
