Can Wine Cause Black Stools

In the hands of undecided voters: the fear campaign unleashed

expected a photo finish. If the election were held tomorrow, the forecast would be reserved. Both the Ipsos polling and support Datun show a tie between Ollanta Humala and Keiko Fujimori. In the first case, the advantage is for Humala in the second is Keiko Fujimori, who holds the first place. But undoubtedly the most important figure is represented by that 20% of voters who still does not define who will vote in the second round. This is the sector that both candidates must compete in these final weeks of campaign. Apparently they have understood both groups and now the effort is centered on display to the public as the lesser evil, because let's face it, both candidates know that the majority vote they receive in this second tranche is nowhere near a voting trust but rather one of refusal to another candidate. For some sectors is Ollanta Humala the lesser evil, for others it is Keiko Fujimori, who generate less fear.

As you say some analysts, in a scenario like we have now marked by the ideological polarization and the presence of two anti-system candidates considered, the campaigns of terror and fear at the media, like it or not, they begin to take a very important role. Than it is now, and they have understood some media, I would say most, not to highlight the intellectual virtues, professional, academic or policy of the preferred candidate, but rather attack vehemently the opposite. We have entered a stage where anything goes, defame, libel or slander is part of the modus operandi of important power in the country. Sectors, thanks to the economic power which may have bought covers, interviews, editorial, radio media, newspapers or television. The most curious thing in all cases is that economic power has been and is capable of making a bunch of forgetful to many who now call opinion leaders and which allow them to enter our homes through the idiot box. So great is the power of this sector due to its direct or indirect influence on any TV channel has managed to erase the memory of its journalists to 10 years of national political life.

being so, I doubt that this campaign of fear and fear puts Ollanta Humala in a position of disadvantage against Keiko Fujimori. Ollanta Humala know you do not have the support of the media, at least not to the sector with the most channels of information. Ollanta Humala in this area knows that the war is lost, so the need to travel around the country and have direct contact with the population. He knows that the position taken by the groups of media power against his candidacy is irreversible, and that even if a thousand and one firm commitments or ask forgiveness for their sins or their family members continue to receive information torpedoes beyond, still do not know whether successful or not, by all modes of blowing his candidacy. Some call it terrorism information, why did Jaime Bayli against the candidacy of Lourdes Flores, and was called by the power sector, and now is used to favor the candidacy of Keiko Fujimori.

Meanwhile, Keiko Fujimori should feel a bit more relaxed, confident I would argue, although those same media is not the place or try to show how a talented candidate or political and political acumen, it is understood if we consider that until two or three months, his candidacy was branded by the media today the support of improvised, authoritarian and corrupt, it is understandable that even to this sector, what Throughout history no country has been particularly marked for the defense of democratic values \u200b\u200bor principles but by the exclusive defense and pure economic interests and individuals find it hard to give modesty and make an explicit defense of the former first lady of Alberto Fujimori . In that sense, Keiko as his campaign group should be grateful to this sector by adopting them as unwanted children in principle but as a lesser evil than it has for its own sake Unlike the other candidate and the Leopard style of Lampedusa, is able to use the word change with the sole purpose of the end of the day and won the victory did not change anything.

The race goes uphill Humala and his group, the Brazilian whose campaign advisers gave him much revenue in the first round will work day and night to meet and get to play on a field in which The referee seems to have been dressed in orange from the minute following the end of the first half. To use a footballing phrase could say that in the last minutes of the game the players are with the knife between his teeth, leaving the skin on the court, and strive to reach at minute 90 with a little air and physical rest. The problem is that the field is tilted, and that the arbitrator, as so often has happened to our selection, gradually puts a team in your area, charging fouls against non-existent or very well simulated violations. But that's politics, and football, behind the big stars of the protagonists, are the interests of business groups, trade negotiators, the mercantilist privileges, which will be the candidate that best approaches tino these groups, promising to care for their position and do not mess with pocket which managed to consolidate a position of advantage in the art of demolition media.

Keiko
What to do in this stage, what strategy should continue, what changes or adjustments should be made to his campaign, I think any, the candidate of Force 2011, shall not do anything extraordinary in recent weeks , touring the country, does any other candidate, to lay bridges of dialogue with persons suitably selected as Hernando de Soto does not require more cunning and political prowess, promise not to commit the same crimes committed during the decade in which his political movement and its father, leader of this gang of thieves who made and unmade in Peru to your liking, be more than enough, especially if as I said enjoy the pleasure of the largest media sector in the country.

other words, barring some extraordinary imponderable, not to make a terribly glaring error, the table, the feast is served with orange tablecloth and silverware for the Fujimori back to swallow it as delicacy put him in front. It would be very naive, very stupid, very unable Keiko Fujimori to lose an election in which, and this is not even her husband imagined in their most fevered hallucinations, all or almost all the media have been on their side. How odd is our country, I say to myself, Keiko Fujimori, who enthusiastically support a third term of his father, knowing that this was illegal, who in addition to 2010, said in a television program (if I remember the Jaime Bayli program today his lawyer) that she was sure her father had committed crimes Vladimiro Montesinos, and were even encouraged to say that the Colina Group responsible for the massacres of Barrios Altos and Cantuta had acted on own at the back of his father and his advisor Montesinos, despite the mountains of documents and incriminating evidence, it which was used to convict Alberto Fujimori to 25 years in prison, is today, catapulted by the same media who criticized the Fujimori government, believing that corrupt, dictatorial and fratricide, as the great savior of democracy in Peru.

Which leaves this campaign is that tasteless, that heaviness and sadness to see that in our country every man has a price, everything is bought, sold everything, everything is negotiated, that the values \u200b\u200band principles add up to zero against the economic interests of this sector always, absolutely always, either side of military autocrats of left or right, has taken advantage of their investments and betting for this or that candidate, regardless of whether that candidate is or is not corrupt, a human rights violator, a compulsive liar or just a felon. Concerned, I worry about way, this way of understanding politics, in which phrases such as stealing, but does work, is catching on with more intensity in the population, especially young people. I think that if we do not take matters into the country's destiny is written, we will become a way to absolutely anomic society in which respect for the law is not taken as an old-fashioned, in which the honesty and transparency in daily life are behaviors typical of earlier times, times in which one is striving to look after the good name and prestige moral and ethical self and your family. I think we're losing the battle against corruption, we are quite complacent with crime, we are quite soft when the criminal prosecution, we are a society that seems to have lost the capacity for indignation. May God help us!
