THIS IS JUST TO SAY

In a few days, the city of Tucuman will have the chance to chose the destiny of the city. Politic campaigns are all round. And politics try harder to make us beleive the unbeleivable. The fact is that most of those who run for a chair in the gouvernmental palace persue their own interest and just forget that we are not stupid, and that people in Tucuman have needs which need to be solved.

Since Peron and Evita, most of the Argentinian politicians tried to imitate the kind of governmet these two had implemented in Argentina. But the idea is not to copy what others have done but to see how what is the main concern and problems of a society who is constantly changing.
It seems to me that the only reason why people enter politics is to gain more and more money, and use citizens necesiities to cover their desire to be richier. I wonder if these politics of our would change this sometime, or they just do not realize that money cannot be taken to the grave.

The current governor of Tucuman has proved that he is "working" for the welfare of all tucumanos y tucumanas. He has built new houses, tried to buy more eqipment for the public hospitals and many other things. At least, he did something. The other day I happen to take a taxi, and the driver was telling me that Jose Alperovich did many things. But all of them were in project many years ago. The only thing he did was to put them into action. This cap driver also told me that the governor's wife has some trouble with the law for a big amount of money she robbed when Palito's wife had an association which helped poor children. And this is something ordinary people do not know because police hides this information. Another good example of the corruption there is in politics. If this be true, I cannot say.

When election time comes, we would see how the right to vote becomes a fraud. Some citizens who are poor can gain a bolson or just some money for voting this candidate or the other. The candidates even pay cars which will pick you up from your house and take you to the school where you vote. Isn't it amazing? Gone are the days when there was some honesty in us.

My point is: Who can we chose this coming August 26th? There is not good answer because all the candidates will do the same. And if they happen to have some pure wishes, the system is so corrupted that they will end up stealing and pepeating the wrong deeds of their predecessors.
There is always the desire for a change, and I hope that we, as the ones who have the power
to change the future, are capable of thinking before putting the vote in the envelop. God help us.
