Me agoté.
He government got stuck She doesn’t go backwards or forwards. Lula advances on the financing of the afforestation of the Amazon with the novel Carlos III, hours before his coronation. While Luis Alberto Aparicio Alejandro watches him on TV, very dolled up and full of cotillion from the British embassy in Montevideo. The last time he was anywhere near Buckingham Palace he was visiting Boris Johnson when he had less time left in office than Queen Elizabeth’s lifetime.
Foreign policy, they said, would be the lifeboat. For three years, when something went wrong, the FTA with China burst onto the field. It was imminent. Last year Bustillo said that before December 31. The last year-end flying rod went out and nothing. So he decided to travel at the end of last month. He practically said that he was returning with the signed treaty. When he left, he insisted that not together with Mercosur, alone. But he came back with a slam in the face.
The Minister of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, Chen Deming, declared during the visit of the head of diplomacy in Beijing that “China is not interested in negotiating a bilateral FTA with Uruguay. Yes, we are interested in negotiating with Mercosur”. Uyyy, Luis Alberto’s fights with his Argentinian partner when he recommended that to him… The disagreements and fights that we would have saved ourselves!
China’s position – which we warned three years ago what it was going to be – is explained by the size of our market (consumer and exporter), but now, in addition, by the conflict in Taiwan. Paraguay is one of the 7 countries that maintains relations with the island and not with the People’s Republic. That was a con. But last year the Kuonmitang (Nationalist Party) lost the elections against the independentistas. As announced and predictable, China is not willing to lose part of its sovereign territory.
Recognizing Taiwan instead of China was against it. The current geopolitical chess changed. Now it’s an advantage. China is interested in getting closer to Paraguay and having good relations with it.
Lots of mess at the same time and a growing image of not knowing how to deal with this overlapping of emergencies. Take a deep breath government! And a beer, because water only if you are not hypertensive because the “drinking” water that comes out of the taps has excess sodium. The MSP authorized that it be increased further, recommending to people “with arterial hypertension that they have a more frequent control of the arterial pressure figures.”
What if they have to buy bottled water? Health risk, loss of quality of life and new and greater cuts in your income. The cheapest water can, 7 liters, costs 116 pesos on sale. A couple with a minor child is recommended to take a can and a half per day. About 4,800 pesos per month. Do they get out of salary in this dream country?
The perfect government. The marketing one. The foreign policy de-ideologized and oriented to trade. The one who had the moral authority to solve any problem by blaming the previous government. The one who would not admit liveliness or clientelism.
Perhaps, only now with all this, I realize the true and necessary scope of Wilson’s phrase: “To the country everything, to the government what it deserves.” May the country count on our all and the government measure its systematic grievances against the opposition.
