“Not even if they pay me 1 million pesos; I am not going to vote for any of these corrupt candidates”; was what I heard a listener from a Buenos Aires radio station say, in a consultation program. His voice was firm and convincing, exuding strong anger. He left me cold. In a nutshell he unleashed his disenchantment with the political system and its leaders. Fed up, impotence and disappointment. How to convince, argue or try to channel such a strong emotional overflow that is increasingly contagious? In a country where the delinquent gets rich and the honest get poorer, the respectful Constitution easily fades and loses force, punished by the tornado of reigning immorality. The cessation of this martyrdom already sounds very distant, whether or not one votes for some ignored savior. How much longer can we survive? The healthy mind imposes hope, but does not support it. The “million pesos” listener’s decision sounds like a stretch, but it’s hard to replicate.
