"historic mandate" AND "THE PRINCIPLES THAT SUPPORT THE NATION
" By: Jorge Majfud (
Republic - Montevideo) The speech of President of the Military Center of Uruguay, Manuel Fernandez, is part of the budgetary demands of the Uruguayan armed forces, one of the highest budgets in the world in percentage terms related to its population.
According to Fernandez, the Uruguayan society today "never exist as deep philosophical differences, ideological and political." When the general was in course of duty during the military dictatorship, there were many differences. In fact, those who thought differently and felt unable to speak or disappeared, why it was understood that time there were no differences neither deep nor of any kind.
But as a Manichean mindset can only see things one way or the other of an arbitrary line that someone with a strong voice and trembling hand traced on the floor separating good from evil, then those differences that any humane society mean diversity, automatically become "the population divided into two distinctly different sides." As in the military practices where there is always an imaginary enemy "clearly differentiated" the other side of the trench or wall, is advanced with a drum and the rhythm of a repeated speech, a pamphlet for school children (one of those were consuming every day in my elementary school during the dictatorship) that merges with philosophical reading when not sacred.
According to retired since 2005, "50.1 percent of the population is on one side and 49.9 percent other." What is another way of saying that his thinking "clearly defined" represents the almost-half of the country without political power. Which continues to be progress if we remember that in the 80's and 90's conservative presidents were elected by less than a third. Even were elected with less votes than the loser. Not to mention the presidents of the military dictatorship, who were elected by a handful of elected.
Referring to the current government of former Tupamaro José Mujica, the retired reported that "since March 2005 changed the rules to legitimately access a majority coalition government Marxist-Leninist." Still some soldiers have trouble with legitimacy? What rules changed? Does the previous democratic government was not legitimate or not legitimate change? "The legitimacy of the current President of Uruguay is as uncomfortable as it was the legitimate democratic government of Salvador Allende?
or not God created the armed forces created in the country.
General Artigas was a soldier by profession (subversive, it goes without saying) but not their montoneros. And all or most of the ideas that founded our country of the South "traditions" came from abroad, from Europe humanist and revolutionary America. Not picked up from a pitanguero and unfortunately our founders were, in some cases, very heroic but let's not very original ideas.
Homeland. " "The armed forces contain and define a nation or is it vice versa? We have a nation without a country, but can we have a national army without a nation? "The principles that underpin Homeland", "included in the 70 and 80 kidnapping, torture, disappearance, propaganda and state terror? It included "all that" our traditions "and" historic mandate ", with all the emphasis that you put?
