c”The government’s reaction to the tragedy is beyond politics and may have to seek on psychology to understand it.

The official obstinacy intended to deny the tragedy of Once and therefore the tragedy doesn’t exist. Ii is not in Congress when Pichetto takes refuge in the regulation of the consortium or in stadiums when people must requested authorization to Football for All to display a poster on any platform.

Denial is a defense mechanism of the “I” that preserves it of what it does not like, what we do not have capacity to cope. The other trick of “I” to fend off a hostile environment is the projection. Both take place at a stage in which the individual is immature and cannot face reality as it presents.

Lanata consulted by a psychologist, said, “the President extends her denial to grief”, “twenty-eight months after He died and she keeps of black. What it does mean, she cannot to mourn?

Lanata recalled when some relatives were received by the President: “When denial becomes psychotic denial, the individual is affected to grasp reality.

Psychotic denial is more common than you think: the smoker, for example, knows that may be a victim of cancer but denies even imagine that, being pleasant, is favorable for its health. Awareness of pain Cristina Kirchner looks like a self-absorbed person. Zulma Ojeda Garbuio, the mother of a 32 year-old who died in the tragedy confirmed it. Zulma was convened by Parrilli at Cristina office on the afternoon of March 6: “President, you are surrounded by piranhas and Schiavi”.

“Do not talk about him, poor, who had a serious health problem as a result of this fact,” Cristina interrupted her.

The meeting fell into an abyss when the President said, condescendingly: “You now speak from the pain, but you still are not sure what it is.” The disregard for the present, also calls into question the legitimacy of her preoccupation with the past: are there “monopolies of pain”? Disappear? Once station dead people disappeared because they are ignore? The government only has long-term memory; political death is more important than civil death and both are subject to manipulation. Cristina seems to be surrounded by ghosts of facts that do not exist but cannot look to the eyes.
