September 20, 2011

FPV’s Deputies, proposes to issue a $ 100 bill with the face of Hipólito Yrigoyen in replacement of Julio Roca.

As part of the Bicentennial, the proposal also provides for the inclusion of a representative picture for the anniversary of the “Grito de Alcorta” the agrarian revolt that occurred in Santa Fe in 1912. The huega originated among small and medium ruralists, mostly immigrant tenants. They were forced to accept the ominous conditions imposed by landlords as rents contracts priceless, purchases of tools and supplies to whom the landowner shall command and responsibility more settler by a poor harvest. It reached a point where, even though the settler work from sunrise to sunset and good the harvest at the end of it he had no or basic necessities for survival.

In this context, farmers, despite the fear of repression and distrust, with the support of the dockers and anarchists managed to organize and fighters staged the big protest. On 25 June after a highly participatory meeting determined the indefinite strike.Although the protest did not modify the agrarian structure based on the power of the landowners, could get some reindivicaciones and caused the emergence of organizations of settlers in various parts of the country in the newly emerged nucleated Agrarian Federation. In the first congress of this organization was hoisted the famous principle of the Zapatista revolution in Mexico: the land must be those who work.

Reindivicando this historical fact deputies Héctor Recalde, Diana Conti, Carlos Kunkel, Adriana Puiggrós, Remo Carlotto, Octavio Arguello, Carlos Moreno, Adela Segarra, Gustavo Dutto, Luis Cigogne, Juliana Di Tullio, Juan Carlos Lorges, Maria Teresa Garcia and Graciela Giannettasio of Saiegh signed the bill, which provides for the regulation of the ticket by the Central Bank (BCRA). Turn on the presentation addressed to Eduardo Fellner, 1912, was highlighted as an important year not only for the Grito de Alcorta that “established the beginning of the end of the abuse and exploitation of the tenants in our country” but also by the sanction of Saenz Peña’s law instituting the secret universal and compulsory ballot.

The inclusion of the former president on the ticket justify this sense, since Yrigoyen participated in the reform for more inclusive and democratic vote. It should be noted that Argentina was one of the few countries in the early twentieth century, achieved a big institutional democratic change.

“This need to recognize important events for our country, and this year celebrates its centennial, we ask our peers to vote in favor for this bill,” the document.

New York Times editorial weighs Argentina for human rights advances

Deborah Michelini — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 00:32:56 +0000

September 16, 2011

Today a report published by the New York Times revealed that “countries that have repressive judged responsible for violations of human rights have emerged with greater strength,” and stressed that that decision “did not threaten democracy, and led to more violence. “

The report, by Kathryn Sikkink a political science professor at Minnesota University titled “It has ran out of time to tyrants” developed countries around the world and had made progress in human rights matters unpublished cases of prosecution for those who had committed “crimes against humanity. “ Stresses that this process not seen since the Nuremberg trials in 1949. In turn explains that contrary to popular belief progress in human rights has not caused problems in democratic regimes, on the contrary, it seems that strengthens democracy even to neighboring countries where it is reflected a decline in authoritarianism or repressive practices.

Thus taken as prominent examples in Latin America: “In Latin America, military youth wing only have to look Argentinaand to Chile, countries in which, respectively, 81 and 66 people were convicted of crimes during previous dictatorships to learn lesson that the chances of punishment are greater now than in the past.This may explain why coups are now so rare in this region. ”

He added that “almost all the leaders, when faced with an order of the day, try to turn the page and look to the future. But the demands of justice are very robust and the countries that made their former leaders responsible for episodes occurred, have emerged with greater strength. ”

“The trials of repressors seem to have a deterrent effect beyond the borders. If a number of countries in a region engage in these processes, the neighboring nations also typically show a decrease in the level of repression, but had not entered into trials, “said the editorial.

The report says that “the historical evidence and statistics give us reason to question the critics of the trials for human rights violations.”

“My research, said the specialist, shows that countries in transition, moving from authoritarian to democratic governments, or civil war to peace, where there were prosecutions for violation of human rights eventually became less repressive thantransitional nations without those judgments. ”

In this connection, he highlighted that “if we compare countries like Argentina and Chile, which used the processing for human rights, with Brazil, which did not, I find that the processing is not exacerbated the human rights violations, nor did they threaten democracy or led to more violence. ”

Then “the possibility of punishment and disgrace of the oppressors, make the human rights violations in episodes more expensive, and therefore discouraged in the future who want to engage in them.”

“Since the end of Nuremberg trials in 1949 until the mid-seventies, there was virtually no possibility that the heads of state or government officials were found responsible for violating human rights” recalls the author of the report.

Sikkink concluded: “In the past two decades, the possibility of increased penalties and new government officials certainly will be more careful before deciding to kill or torture their political opponents.”

“Our Economy Minister Amado Boudou likes to repeat an equation: When Nestor came to Government in 2003, Argentina was spending 5% of its GDP to debt and 2% to education. Today we are putting to education 6.47% and 2% for payment of debt. This means a new model of country and society.”

On the other hand the president was moved to tears when she recommended the new film “Juan y Eva” by Paula De Luque. “I do not know if anyone ever will film a movie of Nestor and Cristina, it was also a love story, is and will be a love story,” she said haltingly.

Very good afternoon to all. I see many colleagues, deans, academic. I think we’re in a very important moment. I was reminded of when law school had actual consultancies, which were the right tools to go to the poorest neighborhoods.

This appears to be a system only for lawyers, but it can be accessed by the entire population. It has a rearrangement has a constituent which had decided in 1994, but only now is done [referring to judicial digest].

France has [a legal information website] free, but not integrated. Italy has it integrated, but not free. Here we go with all conditions.

The software had the SAIC, tariffs, today is thoroughly modern. The system today is set by an SME and administered by the public sector, which puts us very happy, because, as in other sectors, we are putting intelligence in the public sector to improve state capacity, which is to improve Argentines capacity.

Today we are taking an important step, we are doing it from the state, with all the professionals involved. I want to thank everyone who helped. I am proud to launch a system that is unique in the world.
