O dilema de Mujica

Sylvia Colombo

Impossível não ouvir falar de José “Pepe” Mujica praticamente todo dia, durante uma breve estada no Uruguai. Foi o que aconteceu comigo, mais uma vez, na semana que acabo de passar por lá. O uruguaio médio em geral é benevolente com seu presidente, os mais entusiastas aderem à moda mundial de elogiar seu desprendimento material, os mais críticos expõem suas desavenças, mas reconhecem seu papel histórico e sua simpatia.

Só nesses primeiros dias do ano, Mujica já gerou várias notícias. Primeiro, compareceu à não-posse de Hugo Chávez, deu conselhos aos venezuelanos e irritou a oposição. Para chegar a Caracas, voou em classe econômica, e foi admoestado por uma passageira anti-chavista. Depois, foi flagrado por um turista-fã descansando numa “parrilla” (churrascaria) da praia em Carmelo, no litoral uruguaio, usando boné e de sorriso aberto, acompanhado da mulher, Lucía Topolansky. Ainda, foi perfilado pelo “New York Times” em matéria com destaque na capa, em que aparecia como o presidente mais modesto da América Latina.

O fato é que Mujica virou um hit. A foto acima foi furor nas redes sociais, assim como fazem muito sucesso as reportagens que, como a do NYT, elogiam seu modo de vida austero. Mujica se recusou a viver no palácio presidencial, doa a maior parte do salário, tem uma cadela de três patas, um trator e um fusca 1987. Toma uns traguinhos como qualquer trabalhador e se veste de modo informal. Não há perfil recente do presidente uruguaio que não ressalte essas características.

Porém, esse personagem está valendo uma folclorização de sua imagem. Já gera um certo cansaço ver essas características elevadas ao máximo do padrão de comportamento ético a todo momento. O que antes só gerava simpatia, agora vai parecendo cada vez mais uma espécie de estratégia de marketing.

Entre os uruguaios, já há uma boa parte que cobra o presidente mais por suas ações do que por ser um modelo de vida. A oposição, por sua vez, pede dele mais presença nas decisões sobre questões básicas, como saúde e educação, e que deixe de prestar tanta atenção a questões para eles menos essenciais, como a estatização da produção da maconha, o casamento gay e o aborto _também grandes êxitos nas redes sociais.

Mujica de longe ganha na comparação com a postura pública de vários líderes latino-americanos. Diante de seu próprio povo, porém, chegou a um ponto perigoso em que pode começar a perder legitimidade por entrar demais num personagem. Nada como olhar para as pessoas reais de seu país agora e não se importar pela quantidade de “likes” que as fotos de suas sorridentes férias possam ter.

  6. I recently installed the iphone app. My spouse and i called the actual “first album, inch designated it any security password, and then attemptedto transfer some test out photographs from the camera roll. After having a minute possibly even, often the iphone app damaged. I actually opened it online backup. I visited the album (to determine if often the images got brought in as well as not). Once i enter our code, the entire software package failures. At first, I thought I may have got typed the actual security password wrongly, however they have carried out exactly the same thing regarding eight moments currently. Is there a deal in this?

  9. You lost me, buddy. I mean, I suppose I get what youre declaring. I understand what you’re saying, but you just seem to have forgotten about that there are some other men and women within the world who look at this matter for what it actually is and may not agree with you. You might be turning away alot of people who might have been followers of your web log.

  10. But I had hardly stepped out on the muddy wet pavement of the Prospect when I ran against a passer-by, who was hastening somewhere with his head down, apparently lost in thought. To my intense amazement I recognized my old friend Ichmenyev. It was an evening of unexpected meetings for me. I knew that the old man had been taken seriously unwell three days before; and here I was meeting him in such wet weather in the street. Moreover it had never been his habit to go out in the evening, and since Natasha had gone away, that is, for the last six months, he had become a regular stay-at-home. He seemed to be exceptionally delighted to see me, like a man who has at last found a friend with whom he can talk over his ideas. He seized my hand, pressed it warmly, and without asking where I was going, drew me along with him. He was upset about something, jerky and hurried in his manner. “Where had he been going?” I wondered. It would have been tactless to question him. He had become terribly suspicious, and sometimes detected some offensive hint, some insult, in the simplest inquiry or remark.

  13. Hello. I noticed your site title, “%BLOGTITLE%” doesn’t really reflect the content of your internet site. When writing your site title, do you think it’s best to write it for Website positioning or for your audience? This is one thing I’ve been battling with because I want good search rankings but at the same time I want the best quality for my site visitors.
