What revelations? Everything has been said

ago a month, when The Spectator became known through chronicles his director, Fidel Cano Correa, the partnership between the newspaper and Wikileaks, a sector of the national public opinion was encouraged by the revelations that the organization, led by Julian Assange could bring to the country.

Since then, the media highlighted the scoop ostentatious way of cables that Wikileaks had on Colombia, and made a structural deployment to support the flood of information coming uphill. Wednesdays were set aside for leaks involving national policy and web portal aside a section dedicated to the topic.

The revelations were immediate: paramilitary links upper echelons of national politics, distrust between Alvaro Uribe and Hugo Chávez, relations between the DAS and demobilized members of the "extinct" United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia and attempts to silence political opposition, not only persecution orchestrated by the government, but with counter-claims 'diplomatic'.

The reader will look suspicious with some suspicion the preceding paragraph and if you stop to watch a little make an unavoidable question: What revelations? Many of the cables related to Colombia are a confirmation of 'public secret', shouting truths which had already been disseminated not only by El Espectador, but news that even (albeit with less coverage) are related to the government.

However, the stain of these new publications is different now. They are Jorge Robledo, and Daniel Coronell, much less Piedad Córdoba that are concerned about the deterioration of the institutional national. It is the government of the United States through their ambassadors and State Department stated (in secret of course) the seriousness of the facts mentioned above.

Wikileaks has served, then, as the fan that helps to spread the rotten stench of a pot open much earlier. And there are so many directions of spread of plague, that those who we feel how we smell the rot will spread cushioning the more and more people.

hopes that a month ago and were planted on Wikileaks The Spectator today does not seem to be many social networks and perceived a marked decrease in the number of cable related links.

This disinterest is almost à déj vu, something known to our country, the mirror of our reality. Is a product of the same attitude that sparked fury by dogs and owls, by peasants killed by journalists pursued and children raped by politicians bought by corrupt businessmen, and negotiated tenders. All these situations do not sound today, no offense and apparently hardly matter.

Wikileaks is a chapter of our forgotten history, written every Wednesday with great fanfare, but at this rate will disappear, because in Colombia the concern for victims, corruption and abuse revived only when movie times poignantly tell of the reality of everyday life.

is why today, weeks after the famous meeting with Fidel Cano Julian Assange, we are witnessing the repeated neglect of our society. That illusory hope of finding in the hand cables we remove the blindfold has been to see. Wikileaks And meanwhile, with its depth developer, has completed a double and valuable work: to confirm the rot in our country and, incidentally, confirm the weakness of our public and emotional people.

Cleaning White Leather Couch

In political seems that in the good proposals, major reforms and government programs that offer profound solutions to the complex problems of our cities. So, or most of the voters (the Medellin in this case) go to the polls like cattle to follow a path of fence that leads, inevitably, to a certain death.

is not pleasant to think about the second option, nor optimistic about the fate of our city, which for a couple of years passed from hope to fear and not fear to hope as appellant was heard in the speeches of the former mayor, Sergio Fajardo Valderrama.

However, the data and realize the popular rumor that citizens countries choose a advance worrying who occupy public office tomorrow, without looking or even what is the policy proposal of potential applicants.

Today, 7 months know who will lead the Mayor of Medellín and lead complicated processes and the implementation of Metroplús, 70% of the inhabitants of this city and know who to vote for: Aníbal Gaviria, a former candidate for vice president of the country, is winning the game with 23% of likely voters, Luis Perez (controversial former mayor of Medellín) takes second place with 20% and Gabriel Jaime Rico, candidate of the Partido de la U, is third with just over 9%.

Another candidate on the deck is Juan Felipe Campuzano, who (with 4% acceptance) aims to take the title of mayor, based on wink tricky political strategy a few weeks ago gave Uribe, saying he "is the general need Medellin." Pretentious claim that implements the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a micro-democratic security adapted to the city, reducing potential solutions to an issue of police authority.

These data, released by the University of Medellín and media such as Radio Super, are alarming, not because of who will lead the survey (although the presence of Luis Perez left serious concerns) but by haste with which the citizens of Medellín decide what the best course for the city.

Undoubtedly, the countries' decisions are not based on policy proposals, but a combination of traditional and new popularity affinities. Yet given the first debate, yet the candidates have left the media to present their proposals and even the websites of the candidates (those) are not set to work in his campaign for mayor.

The city faces major crisis (mobility, employment, security) and was recently revealed by the UN between Medellin and Villavicencio are made 40% of cases of enforced disappearances in the country. And although neither candidate has said something about the Medellín seem to know who has the best solution for this problem, although it not yet been made public.

The current situation goes back to not so long ago, when a certain candidate won the most votes in the history of the Mayor of Medellin. His proposal was continuity and their endorsement was the image of his predecessor, who by his actions convinced the city that Alonso Salazar was a great replacement.

Now Salazar is an unpopular mayor who not only branded as a bad administrator, but bohemian and drunk (another voter assessments paisa banal.) It was useless their great support in the polls to restore confidence in the electorate and, as a result, the city has returned to think Luis Perez, a character who left a lamentable history after administration.

however, wants to repeat history and the capital of Antioquia returns to his old political practices, bureaucratic alliances, votes for tradition and image. The conscience is for that small 21% who admits not knowing whom to vote, and probably will join sooner or later that bidder to bring the best smile, best makeup and (of course) the most striking phrase.

Then, the title of this column will take courage, not because the mayor is already decided, but because the words spoken so far are more than enough to win the race for mayor, a institution that can achieved with a well-written line.

individual struggles

were within their rights to citizens on Friday left a again against the FARC. About 300 people raised their voices to condemn el hecho de que este grupo subversivo siga utilizando a la población colombiana como la carnada para chantajear al Estado y conseguir sus objetivos, que hoy no parecen ser tan políticos.

Hicieron bien al demostrarle al país que el olvido es uno de los peores enemigos de los compatriotas secuestrados, y que no hacen falta íconos (como Ingrid Betancur) para que a un pueblo le duela el maltrato y la tortura ajena.

Sin embargo, esta marcha tuvo un sesgo, no porque sus asistentes tuvieran un interés de  particular de influencia política sobre el resto de la población, sino porque is the result of a focused discourse that aims to highlight a part of the Colombian conflict, so that all turn their attention to her.

That part is certainly the FARC, a guerrilla who kills, robs, kidnaps and threatens the human rights of Colombians. But that is not the only group outside the law, who exercises this type of crime, because in Colombia there are also paramilitaries (or BACRIM, as they now wished to draw), the ELN and crime

" is a need for people to rebel, shake, to liberate the social cancer that has over 40 years, "organizers said to justify the march. But they forgot that along with the birth of the Colombian guerrillas came paramilitary groups who made a bloody persecution and rearranged the puzzle of the country's land, favoring the elites related to their criminal activities.

Other voices used the arguments of peace and the immediate cessation of the kidnapping to support the march, falling in the illusory hope of finding harmony in Colombia in the defeat of this group guerrilla. It hopes to sell the eyes who celebrate the death of every subversive and the opposition are in a "military target."

is time that the country will remove the bandage from the eyes, and let's see how the FARC single enemy. We have been more than a decade protesting the same thing in a speech that does not evolve, that does not cover all of our problems and marginalized victims of other sides, making them invisible to our eyes.

is no doubt that the Colombian society needs a 'electric shock' you lift the lethargy. It is urgent to cram the streets and join, critically, the ideas of rejection against all our tumors: corruption, violence, displacement, guerrillas, paramilitary gangs, delinquency, cronyism, injustice and the long list that concerns us.

However, Colombia is a land full of isolated efforts to solve their problems. And this is perhaps one of the main barriers to be overcome, if there is a real desire to realize all the demagogic words that appear every time the people was gathered in the streets.
