Abbess In A Root Canal Tooth

The death of a Democrat

Back in 1927, Chascomús City, Buenos Aires Province, was born a child of immigrants who would mark a before and after in the history of Argentina: Dr. Raul Ricardo Alfonsin. Man of law, radical-blooded and active member of democracy, which would leave the physical world March 31 2009 at 20:30 pm.

Despite their successes, despite his mistakes, now we all remember what it was: a symbol of democracy in Argentina. With his life and his death left us the greatest legacies: democracy is a social construct, is a political regime, a way of life that is embodied in one man, but in the republican institutions that crystallize the decision thoughts and hopes of all those who every day do the country. This was the gift that gave us such a good politician: respect for the Constitution and its primary purposes in the Preamble represented

Said during an event with all your strength, " democracy is not only one with which to vote, but one with which you eat, with which it heals and that is educated." These are the goals of democracy, and these are also the outstanding debts of the same.

Today the entire nation mourns this loss, but it is wonderful to see that despite the departure of a man like Alfonsin, democracy continues, and is still there, sometimes so abstract, sometimes so close and sometimes so far as saying it is not an end in itself, but it is the only one which can realize the happiness of every human being.

In our grief, a tribute, in our pain, an appreciation for the man who knew, as any other, concentrating the hope of a people shot, for that political utopias, of ethical values. For this President who favored dialogue, seeking consensus, never depose an opponent for whom education was the only tool for social mobility. In short: a sincere goodbye to who will be forever in the collective memory as the Argentine who clearly saw what the regime in which we now move: performing in every sense of the man, What else but, unlike in substance to the democracy of the other political regimes?

then we leave the last legacy of ex - President: The speech he delivered in front of 10,000 taxed people last December 10, urging the Argentines, leading to young people, to maintain hope despite the vicissitudes .
