A beautiful sunny Saturday morning of October we met a group of people in a game that bore the name A Look into the Future - Dialogue with José Miguel Insulza. We , literally at the top of the hill, as we congregate Anahuac Casa de la Cultura in San Cristobal. A crowd entertaining, friends not seen for some time and, above all, the joy of knowing at the same stop. Is not a minor issue on the eve of presidential candidate definitions.
The central statement of José Miguel Insulza, in my opinion, was the need to close a period in the consultation and in the country. Progress in reforms to enable the country meet the challenges posed by globalization and the new world, with the participation of citizens as legal subjects.
In other words, a reform State, together with ensuring the rights of citizens, end to inequality and allows for greater democracy and participation of people. For that, he proposed a constitutional amendment to endorse such guarantees in order to achieve a welfare state.
We invited and led to the outstanding issues to create the institutional conditions and policies to eliminate the inequalities and address the changes that Chile needs to make a leap to development. For example: "Our tax system does not redistribute." If we live as in the first world with their health services, education and transportation, we must be willing to pay taxes, and taxes not African.
listened attentively. Among the robustness of the action and my recurring and skepticism about how the Coalition is doing more of the same, the Chinaman appeared in all of us: you do not kernel or kernel.
And then I realized the reason that this meeting will be held at the Cultural Center Anahuac. At one point, something clicked me (probably a specialist can explain it to me). With conviction and clarity, he said, a democratic state is a fight we must take and the new constitution must guarantee everything that we want to protect. I have said much better, but more or less so I recorded his words. Anahuac
means the land between the waters or a place near the water and realized that there was solid ground .. Panzer's words were more of the same, quite the contrary. But be bold enough to make profound changes. The elections are won or lost, but Chile must be one of the few countries known after the election counts, everyone wins.
In this turning me the conviction that the only way to win the presidential future is to be prepared to lose. Yes, willing to lose. The contingent of bureaucrats and technocrats rooted in all the estates should be concerned and understand once and for all that, Insulza said, the fight we have to give is a democratic state and a new constitution.
I come home happy, excited about my candidate for President and my son tells me: "Oh, you always get your hopes up and then ... always the same: the binomial system, rather nominal, public rudeness and counting ... "
prefer to ignore my son and I go to my library and pulled out the trial of Alfonso Reyes" Vision de Anahuac " (1519) and then find the right words to conclude the jorrnada: "Ours, Anahuac it is something better and more toned. At least, for those who like to be alert all the time the will and clear thinking. "
