God decides to send Tomas Moro, the saint of politicians, to Venezuela on the occasion of the centenary of Carlos Andres Perez, President twice.
I have come to Rubio, where I was born, to refer to “what he wanted to be, what was and what could not be.” Next October she will be 100 years old since she was born in this beautiful town.
To envy” is defined as the feeling of who, being on the prowl, yearns for what belongs to another. I wonder, could it be that evil has to do with the obstinacy of the spirit and the indolence of the heart? The successes and difficulties of the President described as “The walker”, between jealousy, resentment and animosity. He endured “the pain occasioned by his good fortune.” He was a victim of it.
The scenario, a State presumed to be on the way to the common good, through laws, execution and application, which emerge from separate functions, but are controlled. They are “organizational formulas” to form ourselves into societies. But, “some democratic, others not.”
The rule, subsume ourselves in that morphology. But we are human, so everything is possible, “the substitution of one for another” and devaluing ourselves: “Neither one, nor the other. If not quite the opposite”, they blamed the centennial President. The mockery of success and the proverb “he who mocks the poor insults his maker.” And, “What Carlos Andrés lacks is a share of ignorance.” “Whoever rejoices in misfortune will be punished.” The axiomatic yields to pugnacity.
Those derogatory qualifications, harmful food for the uncertain constitutional history of South Americans, sprinkled with how “risky it is to demand sacrifices from the people in the face of an eroded democracy. Could it have been, equally, the scene of the Head of State? I don’t know, but demanding the system when there are shortcomings, has to be thought about. Would CAP have taken that into account?
In the constitutional rupture, would “arrogance” fit in, an apparent consequence of the controversial presidential re-election? Specifically, the 10-year prohibition of the l961 Constitution, which instead of softening the soul, seems rather to harden it.
Experts are still surprised by the extermination of everything that was done well in the second CAP II Administration, highlighting the success of the Chilean economy, achieved with a scheme like the one in Caracas. But the dissenters laughed at “the invisible hand”, without even knowing “the metaphor of the market economy”. The enemies, who describe themselves as “notable” attribute to the “Caracazo” the nature of “justified popular rejection” of the advanced model. The disastrous consequences of Pérez’s dismissal contributed to classifying him as a perverse “small group” who could not tolerate the fact that “a Goth” did not govern. He did “CAP”, the letters that defined the President of the town.
The intense partisan and parliamentary life led him to the 1st presidency. It seems that he still vibrates “This is the son I did not have” by Rómulo Betancourt at the beginning of the electoral campaign. The dedication to want to be, a determined dynamism, claws and enthusiasm, justify “That man does walk”. And with that glory he is elected again. Could it be one of the causes of his debacle? Important question.
Regarding economic policies, the first by Gumersindo Rodríguez and the other by Miguel Rodríguez, so that “Venezuela has been governed on 2 occasions by Pérez and, this one, between 2 Rodríguez. The qualifications? The 1st, close to socialist populism. “The Great Venezuela”, crazy. The 2nd, neoliberal and its drivers, “Chicago Boys.” The mixture of envy and pugnacity devalued the programs and their hosts: “Paquetico Rodríguez and snake charmer” to Miguel. “Sinister Dwarf” to Gumersindo.
Could he have been, “the walker”, a victim of the godarria that detests the people? In the first government, the democratic leadership resisted the attacks, but not in the second, weakened by “intellectualism.” Carlos Blanco reiterates the remoquete, the notables, but preceded by the pseudo.
Chavez’s uprising is marketed as a military reaction to popular needs in recent decades. In the Senate, President Caldera, enthusiastic about a second five-year term, did not question him harshly, the opposite of Senator David Morales Bello: “Death to the coup plotters.” To the eternal defender of CAP, surprisingly, it did not go well.
“The walker” struggled not to be “Chinese vase without space to put them”. On the contrary, he took advantage of the constitutional rest (10 years) to analyze the present and future, facing the judiciary 2. Germinates “the direct election of the governors of State”, presumed debt to the Constitution of 61. For the jurist Eloy Lares Martínez “the law of national destruction”. CAP takes up the challenge by enacting it and in the elections it goes badly for AD. But, in addition, the elected become “presidents and the States in little republics.”
“The Creole rascal” passed the hand to his superiors and subordinates, clouding them with gossip. Not with “tactics, control and occasion”. He was treated as a hero, as well as the officers in the coup and the long government that, from where we do not know, he still leads. No other can be the answer.
Was Venezuela the object of a plot? The appreciations of the President in the Congress that would replace him are more than enough: “I assumed that politics had become civilized and that rancor and hatred would not determine its course. God willing that the causers do not repent. The Lord did not forgive them.
Santo Tomas Moro notes that for Betancourt Pérez I do not listen to him “I am a President who does not resign, nor is he resigned.” He did not publicly order the military, as Commander-in-Chief, to support with arms his legitimacy as the elected Head of State, which must be used to calm down the unruly, intellectuals and little judges who write rulings contrary to the Magna Carta and who make the public power an instrument to take advantage of occasions not for the benefit of the country. On the contrary, of them. Bolívar was defeated by his death, but during his lifetime he overcame obstacles to build liberal regimes, even declaring himself dictator, in the style of Lucio Cornelio Sulla, in favor of republican institutions. The CAP Minister in l961, Betancourt told us, gave the impression that democracy had tamed him.
The country, today destroyed. The institutional subsoil: “If the Executive is not limited by the Constitution and the Law, the Assembly does not legislate, the courts do not control the excess of power, there is no rule of law”, as stated by the outstanding student María A. Grau in the prologue of our book The Constituent Theory, explained in some lessons by Petra Dolores Landaeta.
The analysis of “That man does walk” is still complicated. The addicts of him, however, said, “The gocho for 88”, appearing until a third government. The most enlightened thought, perhaps, of emulating Angela Merkel, the German chancellor with 15 consecutive years in the European Union.
We could affirm, for the sake of an ambitious judgment, that Immanuel Kant told him: “He learned to act guided by the voice of duty.” And despite this, CAP replied: They called me everything, even “Locoven”.
I leave. I am, thank the Lord, the patron saint of politicians and rulers. I regret that “the walker” has not come to me in a timely manner, although he could have done little, since Satan had already appropriated Venezuela and the so-called “notable” with him.
Jose Gregorio Hernandez did not accompany me for fear of the depression that a destroyed Venezuela would cause.
