Caius strikes once more.
Hello people. I've been away for a one and a half month. And yes, I want to write once more. I'm glad that a former drug addict, Diego Armando Maradona, with the superb phrase "Keep it *******", after winning the match against Uruguay and qualifying us to the World Cup next year.
But that is not what it affects me. Any argentinian or wanna-be argentinian knows what happened with him and his life, so he is half-pardoned.
What it does annoy me, it is that, like I called this thread, the autoinmunity against democracy. It seems that the biggest threat to democracy is... democracy itself. The attempts to burn the past are so desperate that we return to the past... to do what the loser band wanted to do. So far, things are ugly everywhere. Corruption at it biggest exponent. Inflation at unknown rate. Medication under suspiction. Drug use and abuse start to be more evident in young people. Kraft Foods bought one Argentinian enterprise, since then, this multinational what has done is to laugh at the laws that apply in our country.
The biggest threat is called "Law of Audiovisual Services". Wrote by the President and George Orwell, this law is aimed to attack the most important economical group called "Grupo ClarÃn.". This group has been a friend of the last government, but when things go wrong, the government and Clarin started a war. The war has begun. And the casualies are in the part of Freedom of Speech.
The government says that this law is "The law that gives the word to you.". I have never been insulted like that before. This law is insulting the Constitution. The article 14 says that every person MUST be able to cast an opinion withoit previous censorship. This law crates a monster called "Autority of Application" and basically is controled by the government. You don't say what they like? It's a "Strong Fault" and they can get your licence revoked. Even if you have a license for 20 years. They don't give a damn anymore.
The law brings down the posibility of broadcasting in multiple sites at the same time. This restriction is aplicable at private radios, yet it is not applicable at Statal radios. Statal radios can make difusion of artists under a contract with a discography, yet Private radios have to broadcast independent artists. Private radios can broadcast with publicity, but only in a 30% of the total programmation, yet Statal radios can in a 100%. Radios that broadcast in the Province of Buenos Aires (Province with the most ammount of people) can't broadcast in other provinces and viceversa. Private radios have to pay a 20% of taxes on the ammount of money they get on publicity... and that tax is sent to the Statal radios.
Like the Barbarian says: Slay them all. I would like to see some heads hanged in the Congress, and the problem will be solved.
Thanks for reading.
