THE VIOLENCE OF 1950 HAS RETURNED IN COLOMBIA

       It is pathetic the spectacle offered by the so-called people when confronted in the streets, media or social networks on account of the debates generated by some statement by Uribe or Santos, or some of his friends. And the most terrible thing is that these people echo the speeches, when on one side and the other side, they try to defend the country, that abstract and meaningless thing when at the moment of defining it, and one does not know for sure what concepts to use or in what ways to refer.

       And the defending people of I do not know what, concentrates its attacks on the corruption of the one having as reference to a corrupt or vice versa. That is, there are people who refer to the corrupt Uribe as an intact man, impeccable, defender of the country, and that there are people who refer to the corrupt Santos as a defender of peace, or as a kind of missionary in Defense of freedom and many other things.

       It is pathetic because the speeches become so repetitive that it seems a reggaeton. That the so-called Fibristas want to destroy the peace of the people, who identify with those of the extreme right, or that the so-called farc-santistas want to turn the Colombian people into a more Venezuela, they want to destroy the country, Only makes the people into a kind of trained dog that follow the designs of their respective masters.

       And it was precisely at the end of the 1940s and during the 50s that one of the most bloody fratricidal wars that the country has experienced because of the same speeches that the two corrupt leaders are wielding today, Say, the corrupt president Santos and corrupt ex-president Uribe. At that time, the people split between the Liberal party and the conservative party, led by another pair of corrupt, and initiated by the death of another corrupt.

       Which of them is more corrupt? Who defends whom? Or, who defends what? The most pathetic of all is that it is repeating the same spectacle of the mid-twentieth century. Political leaders surrounded by escorts (even to buy the market in the corner), with all the comforts of medieval princes, with medieval mentality, always protecting interests of economic groups, seeing how the town divides and engages in a war of Words to realize then, that the poor is still poorer and the rich is still richer ... and that with war or without it the establishment will remain the same.
