Ferida aberta

Sylvia Colombo

 

O tema da Guerra das Malvinas voltou à toda na Argentina. Enquanto se aproxima o aniversário dos 30 anos da guerra, vencida pelos britânicos, o governo voltou a reivindicar com veemência o arquipélago.

 

Há uma diferença enorme entre o que pensa a população e o governo. Felizmente, entre os adultos mais maduros, principalmente os que têm recordações da guerra, voltar a reclamar as ilhas é uma brincadeira perigosa. Também têm consciência de que a presidente usa a questão para angariar apoio, não muito diferente do que fez o general Leopoldo Galtieri em 1982, quando ordenou invadir as Malvinas.

 

 

Entre os mais jovens, sente-se indiferença. Para eles, há mais coisas com que se preocupar na Argentina atualmente, como emprego, economia, enfim, suas perspectivas de futuro.

 

 

Mas a reivindicação histórica por esse território ainda toca o coração de muitos, que cresceram ouvindo o discurso “las Malvinas son nuestras”.  Para estes, a fala do chanceler Hector Timermam em Nova York, na sexta-feira, ao apresentar uma queixa contra o Reino Unido na ONU, foi convincente e corajosa.

 

 

O ministro se preparou bem. Levou slides e mapas para mostrar o que considera um avanço militar dos ingleses no Atlântico Sul. Lembrou que Londres está muito distante desse centro de operações e que os argentinos foram expulsos das ilhas em 1833, o que é correto e indiscutível.

 

 

Porém, Timermam forçou a barra em vários momentos. Disse que, por meio da ocupação das Malvinas, os ingleses teriam controle das costas da África e da América do Sul, e que seriam um perigo à paz no continente porque teriam capacidade de atingir com armas nucleares até mesmo o sul do Brasil…

 

 

O chanceler fez pouco do princípio de autodeterminação, argumento quase impossível de rebater que usam tanto os britânicos como os “kelpers” (nascidos das ilhas) para reafirmarem que querem que o status do local _o de um território britânico de ultramar – permaneça o mesmo. Disse que isso estava sendo superestimado, e que a população não passaria de 2.500 habitantes – o que não é correto, segundo o último censo das Falklands, são mais de 3.200.

 

 

É improvável que a batalha verbal do governo argentino contra os ingleses surta efeitos concretos. Mas a disputa expõe aspectos da cultura política local interessantes de se observar. É difícil entender a Argentina sem desvendar essa fixação por um arquipélago isolado, frio e que pouquíssimos argentinos conhecem de verdade.

 

 

Daqui até o aniversário de 30 anos da guerra, dia 2 de abril, muita coisa será dita e os ânimos tendem a acirrar-se. Melhor seria que essa ferida se fechasse de uma vez e que a paz predominasse. Resta observar.

  4. A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment. I do believe that you should publish more on this topic, it may not be a taboo matter but typically folks don’t talk about these issues. To the next! Cheers!!

  7. Hello – I must say, I’m impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and information was very easy to access. I found what I wanted in no time at all. Pretty awesome. Would appreciate it if you add forums or something, it would be a perfect way for your clients to interact. Great job

  8. Next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn’t fail me just as much as this particular one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, but I genuinely thought you would have something useful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could possibly fix if you weren’t too busy searching for attention.

  9. One thing I’d prefer to touch upon is that weightloss routine fast may be possible by the proper diet and exercise. An individual’s size not just affects appearance, but also the complete quality of life. Self-esteem, depression, health risks, in addition to physical skills are impacted in putting on weight. It is possible to just make everything right and at the same time having a gain. Should this happen, a problem may be the culprit. While a lot of food rather than enough body exercise are usually accountable, common health conditions and widely used prescriptions may greatly help to increase size. Thanks alot : ) for your post in this article.
