Quatro dias, quatro discursos

Sylvia Colombo

É sabido que Cristina Kirchner é uma amante dos discursos. Basta uma olhadela no site da Casa Rosada para verificar que a presidente argentina faz, mais ou menos, uns 10 por mês. É através deles que  realiza anúncios importantes, como a nacionalização da YPF, ou apenas dá recados _escancarados ou sutis_ a seus ministros sobre que ações vai tomar e quem anda em boa conta com ela ou não.

Pois na semana que termina hoje, Cristina se superou. Em quatro dias, fez quatro discursos, dois deles utilizando a cadeia nacional de rádio e TV. Na segunda-feira, dia da comemoração da independência, falou em Tucumán. Fez um balanço dos últimos nove anos de kirchnerismo, recordando o crescimento econômico e os avanços do país. Seu falecido marido e antecessor, Néstor Kirchner, foi praticamente equiparado aos próceres da pátria. E o período sob seu comando, como um dos mais exitosos da Argentina em 200 anos de história.

Exagerada, eloquente, mandona (“tirem essa câmera daí, está atrapalhando a visão”), Cristina já implementou um estilo. A militância que a acompanha sempre aparece nos momentos mais exaltados e canta as canções kirchneristas e os gritos de guerra que fazem menção aos desaparecidos, a Néstor e a Perón.

Na terça-feira, a presidente falou numa cerimônia das Forças Armadas, também exaltando o dia pátrio. Na quarta, em cadeia nacional, fez o discurso que mais repercutiu durante a semana, na inauguração de uma instalação agrícola.

O primeiro momento alto foi quando comentou a capa do jornal espanhol “El País” que trazia uma foto do ministro da economia, Luis de Guindos. Cristina o chamou de “el pelado este” (esse careca), e disse que ele a fez lembrar do ex-ministro Domingo Cavallo, responsável pelo “corralito” de 2001. “Fiquei com a torrada entalada na garganta”, disse. A claque organizada riu, apesar do mau gosto do comentário.

Nessa mesma ocasião, Cristina comentou uma matéria do jornal oposicionista “Clarín”, que mostrava como o setor imobiliário estava sentindo os efeitos das medidas de restrição ao dólar. Trata-se da área da economia mais afetada, a queda na compra e venda de imóveis foi de quase 30% desde que entraram em vigor as novas normas.

O jornal ouviu alguns donos de imobiliárias. Um deles dizia que o movimento tinha caído muito e que nem os curiosos entravam mais para fazer perguntas sobre propriedades. A presidente, então, nada menos, disse que tinha mandado investigar o sujeito. Conversou com o titular da AFIP (a Receita Federal argentina) e “descobriu” que ele não estava em dia com os impostos. No dia seguinte, sua atitude foi bastante criticada, pelo abuso de poder e violação da privacidade de um cidadão.

Finalmente, na quinta-feira, Cristina inaugurou a nova versão de Tecnópolis, o imenso parque temático científico que ela tem entre suas principais bandeiras de propaganda.

Cristina sabe que domina bem a arte do discurso, sabe improvisar e desviar o assunto para distribuir pontadas em quem a está incomodando. Porém, o uso abusivo do recurso passa uma ideia de autoritarismo muito grande. Nos dias em que está especialmente irritada, os discursos se transformam em broncas públicas, em que oposicionistas e a mídia opositora são as principais vítimas, isso quando não se trata de um simples cidadão, como foi o caso do dono da imobiliária.

A presidente se gaba de que nunca houve tanta democracia e tanta liberdade de expressão na Argentina. Pois seus discursos passam a impressão oposta.

  1. It okay Indiana Pacers, with a 96 91 victory over the Nets and a now historic start for the franchise, I got your back. I catching up on the DVR from the beginning of the second half to take some notes in retro diary form (with 100% of the idea credit going to Grantland Bill Simmons of course) to see how we in fact got to this point. To start the third quarter, Brooklyn would be leading the way 46 44, with the only difference between the two teams seemingly being the fact that Brooklyn bench outscored the Pacers bench 16 6. And we start NOW!

  3. 11:15 I told myself I was going to pace myself to only write something every three minutes But Luis Scola just got Garnett with his patented defender goes by, dribble a once or twice and then shoot play that I absolutely fallen in love with. Frank Vogel said it best after the victory against the Bulls, when he mentioned have one of the best international players ever coming off of our bench I think Pacers fans finally 100% realized what they now have in Scola when they booed Tyler Hansbrough during his first appearance with the Toronto Raptors on Friday night.

Now Coddington, the longtime creative director of Vogue, has her own star vehicle, an engaging memoir titled “Grace,” co written with Michael Roberts. For anyone with a passing interest in the fashion industry, it’s worth a read for the name dropping alone.As became clear in the film, which chronicled the magazine’s staff as they put together the 4 pound September 2007 issue, Coddington is not the Anna Wintour or Diana Vreeland type. You won’t hear her barking orders at assistants or making dramatic pronouncements about pink.But she is equally passionate, a wild haired dreamer who thinks that fashion should be transporting, provocative and even intellectual, who bemoans the dominance of celebrities and digital hocus pocus in fashion photography and who isn’t afraid to take on Wintour.The book is a window into how fashion has changed from a small, niche business into a global pop culture medium. It chronicles Coddington’s 50 years in the industry, first as a model, then as a fashion editor for British Vogue and finally as creative director for American Vogue, with lots of juicy anecdotes about designers, photographers, celebrities and models.She compares the fashion world then and now and offers clues into her relationship with Wintour. She’s also open about her private life, including details about failed marriages, the tragic death of her sister Rosemary and her 30 year romance with French hairstylist Didier Malige. She tells colorful stories behind many of the fashion shoots she has styled, but I do wish she had offered more insight into her role in the creative process.Coddington begins by painting a picture of her upbringing as romantic as any photo shoot. For her first 18 years, her home was the Trearddur Bay Hotel on the island of Anglesey off the coast of North Wales. “Although it was bleak, I saw beauty in the bleakness.” When she wasn’t outdoors, she amused herself by looking at picture books, reading fairy tales and, yes, studying the pages of Vogue magazine. As a teen, she went to a convent school and has vivid memories of the nuns roller skating on the rooftop, “flapping about surreally in their robes like crows on wheels.”At 18, she moved to London to attend a modeling course advertised in Vogue. The fashion world was much different in 1959. Coddington had to learn how to apply her own makeup and style her own hair, because makeup artists and hairdressers specializing in photo shoots were nonexistent. A meeting with photographer Norman Parkinson led to her first modeling job running naked through the woods for an arty fashion catalog.Coddington became an overnight success. “I was a character, rather than a pretty model, and I suppose that’s exactly what I look for in the girls I now select to put in American Vogue the ones who are quirky looking.”She earned the nickname “The Cod” (to Jean Shrimpton’s “The Shrimp”), danced the twist on Mary Quant’s catwalk and became a muse to Vidal Sassoon, who created his famous five point cut on Coddington. Her modeling career was derailed for two years by a car accident, which scarred her left eyelid. But eventually things picked up again, and she settled into life in 1960s swinging London and Paris, hanging out with a fast crowd that included Michael Caine, Jane Birkin, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.Her fashion editing career coincided with the beginning of her relationship with Michael Chow and the opening of his glamorous restaurant Mr. Chow, which attracted a starry crowd. “Naturally, we were forever being photographed at home, draped among our symbols of ‘with it ness’ as one of London’s most happening couples; him, the cool young restaurateur, nonchalantly swinging in a hammock hung from the minstrel’s gallery and me, the sophisticated style maker, perkily sitting cross legged atop a giant pop art version of a Campbell’s soup can.”At the height of the bohemian 1970s, she dyed her hair with henna and permed it (it would stay the same for much of the next 40 years), dressed almost exclusively in Yves Saint Laurent, had a fling with a Vietnamese photographer and spent her evenings at Club Sept in Paris. Coddington worked with the who’s who of fashion. She shot Anjelica Huston with photographer David Bailey and Pat Cleveland with Helmut Newton.When Bea Miller, who had edited British Vogue for 22 years, retired, Coddington interviewed for the job but says she knew deep down she wasn’t suited for it and thought that Wintour, then the creative director of American Vogue, should get it.Wintour did get it. Two days into her editorship, she invited Coddington to a screening of the racy film “Betty Blue.” The two sat in dead silence through the opening sequence, a vivid five minute sex scene.”Anna was rigid and unmoving. No sign of any emotion at all,” Coddington writes. “I then realized how much significance Anna places on willpower trumping feelings.”In 1988, when Wintour was appointed editor in chief at American Vogue, Coddington asked to join her. Coddington’s narrative style fashion features and travelogues, a sampling of which appear in the book, became the heart and soul of the magazine, even as its pages became increasingly taken over by celebrities. Through her visual canvases, she interpreted the New Romantic period, grunge and the South Beach blinged out 1990s, and persuaded superstar designers Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs and others to play roles in a shoot based on “Alice in Wonderland.”She sums up her creative process this way: “For me, one of the most important aspects of my work is to give people something to dream about, just as I used to dream all those years ago as a child looking at beautiful photographs.”The book ends with a chapter on then and now. “Fashion has changed so much in my lifetime,” Coddington writes. “Today, I find myself at the collections, asking, ‘Who are all these people?’ Sometimes I think I’m the last remaining person who comes to the shows for the pleasure of seeing the clothes.”At 71, she seldom wears makeup and doesn’t socialize much. But her attempt in the last 100 pages to distance herself from the term “fashionista” is a bit of a stretch. Clearly, Coddington has led a most charmed life.

  28. This is a good posting, I was wondering if I could use this write-up on my website, I will link it back to your website though. If this is a problem please let me know and I will take it down right away

  29. 5:06 Nets center Andre Blatche hits a jumper to make the score 62 57, and Pacers announcer Chris Denari mentions that like in Boston, Kevin Garnett has to come out early in the first and third quarters. This reminded me of the Pacers pregame show I was listening too on 1070 The Fan when Austin Croshere mentioned that he doesn fully buy in to this Brooklyn squad to be a top seeded team. Basically Croshere believes that with the years of basketball mileage on their body, Garnett and Pierce could perhaps reach their full potential if they played once every three games. Throw in the fact that Pierce, Garnett, and Jason Terry combined for 8 23 from the field, 21 points, and nine turnovers, I now wonder how Sports Illustrated picked this squad to be the number three seed over the course of an 82 game season.

  30. But how about Saturday night, with the team getting the chance to travel to Brooklyn to improve to 7 0 with a victory? This would be the case, if a little Brad Stevens magic (or BradMagic as one Jeremiah Johnson likes to call it) didn take place in Miami, with the Boston Celtics dropping the Heat 111 110 on an impossible game winning shot from Jeff Green.
