Verão em Buenos Aires

Folha

“Parem de postar fotos de praia!!”, diz, meio desesperada, minha amiga Ana Manfrinatto, paulista residente em Buenos Aires, no Facebook. Entendo Ana perfeitamente, para os nascidos nos trópicos, e que passaram meses intermináveis no inverno portenho, ver as temperaturas beirarem os 40 graus e não poder sentir nem a mais leve brisa do mar –nem do Rio da Prata, para quem Buenos Aires inexplicavelmente dá as costas– pode ser uma verdadeira tortura.

O verão em Buenos Aires vem em boa hora, claro. O inverno aqui é cruel e terrivelmente longo. Até quem é de São Paulo, e que conhece o frio um pouco, sofre, pois não rola por aqui o nosso conhecido veranico, aquelas semanas de trégua em que as temperaturas voltam a subir e nos permitem desligar o aquecedor e chutar os cobertores (se bem que quem passou o inverno em SP neste ano não pode reclamar, as temperaturas foram saarianas).

O problema é que esperar os dias de calor em Buenos Aires tem um desenlace decepcionante. Ele vem, claro, mas, como São Paulo, a cidade não está preparada para aproveitá-lo. Primeiro, porque ninguém quer. Em meados de outubro, o portenho se vê atacado por uma espécie de epidemia e todos correm para reservar um lugar ao sol, principalmente, na disputada costa uruguaia.

Por outro lado, a cultura local do comércio é fechar tudo, como se um vírus perigosíssimo estivesse se aproximando e obrigasse a todos a entrar em quarentena. O capitalismo, no verão portenho, é relegado ao mundo da teoria. Restaurantes, bares, lojas, se não são turísticos, encerram suas atividades. No último domingo, com amigos do Brasil, demos com o nariz na porta do célebre El Obrero, na Boca, fechado por férias até 14 de janeiro. E até o lugar onde costumo mandar a roupa para lavar parou de trabalhar no dia 17 de dezembro e só volta, nada menos, que em fim de janeiro.

Depois vêm as dificuldades de infra-estrutura. Pouco arejada no centro e desolada nos bairros por conta do fim do comércio, os poucos portenhos que ficaram vão aos parques, que podem ser lindos, mas não têm boas atrações extras para a temporada e onde faltam lagos e piscinas.

Mas o pior problema são as chuvas. Em dias de “tormenta”, o lixo mal recolhido boia, o transporte coletivo colapsa e as pessoas ficam sem poder mover-se pela cidade. Também como em São Paulo, há pontos crônicos de alagamento sobre os quais as autoridades nada fazem. Ah, e a luz acaba para voltar daí a três, quatro, cinco horas.

Falta, ainda uma programação cultural apropriada, principalmente para a população de baixa renda, que não pode ir nem a Mar del Plata e está condenada à selva ardente. Festivais ao ar livre, corridas e passeios de bicicleta pelas margens do Rio, a chamada Costanera, não viriam mal.

Já os turistas, brasileiros, a maioria, ficam órfãos zanzando pela cidade desabitada, à mercê de taxistas espertalhões especialmente irritados pelas altas temperaturas. Com os mesmos amigos de São Paulo, tentando voltar para casa após ver uma exposição na Fundação Proa, tivemos de ouvir desaforos de um que não queria perder seu lugar no ponto por menos de 40 pesos (queríamos ir a uma distância mais curta). Apontou o ponto de ônibus e disse: “se não vá caminhando, eu não saio daqui”.

Há muito para ser feito pelas autoridades municipais. Também estaria bem uma mudança de cultura para receber melhor a estação mais esperada do ano. Ou, pelo menos, para conviver com ela com mais tranquilidade e menos animosidade.

Por ora, porém, o portenho segue suando e sofrendo. Ironicamente, ansiando pelo inverno, enquanto as revistas e os jornais estampam as fotos de políticos e famosos afortunados nas praias de Punta del Este.

  1. This specific feels similar to the RIAA modifying the legal program for the rapid dollar in comparison with these individuals truly looking to end pirating. It can just like tunes is simply typically the lure for actual profit-making machine. I would not possibly be surprised once they released their own audio about the world wide web. While he / she truly shouldn’t have got downloaded the background music, the one thing often the court ought to notice here is how damaged the actual “victim” is and also allocate penalty as necessary. If is actually seven music, chuck all of them $7 us dollars. That would be justice. Not this specific outrageous sum.

  10. My spouse and i question this can be the area in this, although… I have a problem with each of our present the laws of copyright, u believe that just how the current approach to authorities utilizes lobbying is the root cause of that. Our laws and regulations tend not to every bit as shield everybody, they only protect typically the likes and dislikes of an loaded couple of. Will there be not necessarily a way to switch just how everything is? Just what number in the people can be mistreated prior to real modify may be pressed to occur? Each of our rules happen to be contorted in addition to garbled to benefit the rich small section. Example: I’m any land surveyor. Our grandkids worked to perform online surveys for people regarding 4 decades. We now have constantly bid extremely competitively often falling in value to have job opportunities hoping that individuals will make all of our revenue a toronto injury lawyer typically the data so we’d have the be employed by future reviews and having the ability to perform these individuals simply by only updating just what advice many of us already experienced in document. This same system of lawmaking that is definitely defending the particular RIAA is usually enabling it business and others which are accumulating copies of your studies for you to send out these phones people accepting affidavits for closings utilizing the benefit their earnings as well as taking out you coming from creating wealth for our own sweat work and also perform. What affects my family nearly all regarding this is, 1 day, we will see case on the study we does decades back, that was used for some sort of later on ending in opposition to each of our will probably along with the courts may area in opposition to all of us for a job we all decided not to also get paid intended for. We’ve prepared many individuals in administration seeking aid in a way simply to get unaggressive web template replies or no respond at all. Romans had the item considerably better 2100 years back. We think all of us are in a new democracy, nevertheless My partner and i dread it isn’t a republic. All of us electoral vote to put several Republicans or maybe Democrats in federal government, just to possess each of our laws composed in addition to reformed to profit some sort of abundant fraction, through lobbyists funded by simply in addition to addressing the abundant number of. This specific exact same authorities many of us elected for puts the goal within the purposes with the vast majority, from the belief that it loaded people are not considerably more smart and/or considerably more worthy than the majority. I’m frightened each of our administration has become really a good Aristocracy.

  30. This particular appears more like typically the RIAA modifying typically the 100 % legal method for the speedy buck when compared with these individuals actually looking to quit pirating. Is actually just like music is typically the lure for his or her true profit-making machine. I probably would not always be surprised when they leaked out their own personal songs about the internet. While they really should not include down loaded the music, the one thing the actual tribunal have to notice here is how damaged the particular “victim” will be and give treatment appropriately. If they have more effective songs, throw out these individuals $7 us dollars. That could be the law. Not really this specific outrageous total.
