This post stems from a comment I made the blog of Colonel on the impact that the Kirchner as social and political movement for people of my generation.
I was a teenager in the late 90's, early 2000 (turns 26 this month) and at that time none of us interested in politics at all All detested by Carlo, but the guy is detestable in itself, morbid, disgusting (how were people who voted for him 3 times, one of the great mysteries of the history of Argentina) but for us the policy was very away from the reality in which we lived, I was never a girl MTV and I've always liked reading and science (I am half geek, I admit) but we felt super wave old policy at that time at all no matter what our interests were.
came 2001 and we were all scared, I remember days when we were leaving college with dual cartridge respirators to avoid the tear gas in the suppression of protests and ran to avoid having to confront the police who lived planted at the entrance.
The first time I voted for President, went to Nestor, because what I heard and liked his ideas, not closely followed in those days (I was 18 1 / 2 years or so) but I can not be worse than the Rua or the sideburns and the truth was that I was right.
At that time I was already in mid-career at UBA, but we engineers tend not to participate in politics and political scientists say, sociologists, etc., I began to see posters of penguins and Nestor support even in my college, people were involved with the project.
When I finished, I went to Spain to study the masters, but I began to diligently follow what was happening in the country, talking with my college friends and I had their trips to the marches and others, the tables in the ESMA was a moment that marked our generation, I remember a friend told me to finally have a president with the eggs to do the right thing so complicated, so not like the powerful .
Then I went back, got laburo and I got more involved and more with the model, I began to actively monitor blogs, occasionally attending meetings and finally opened my blog, then join the movement Birth & pop, I opened Twitter, I had the opportunity to meet wonderful people, voted to Cristina, celebrated his inauguration at the Plaza de Mayo, we saw how fucked by being female and ovaries to deal with the monopolies, we take measures to seemed unthinkable 10 years ago (when they are part of the credit goes to Nestor who laid the groundwork for her to deepen the model), suffer death and the funeral live Nestor, went to the Plaza, the Pink, we saw the kids that follow us (those who are now teenagers and college students) mourn the loss of his "father" political.
If in 2002 someone had told me that he would mourn for a politician, had told them they were crazy, but Nestor marked us to us of this generation who knew him as President when we were young adults, who support the project by the strength of his convictions, that we are interested in politics not because type was a lover or because they are dressed in Armani, but because as he said in his inauguration speech, he left his ideas at the door of the Pink or someone became politically correct to not jodieran in their management, because it had the eggs to confront the establishment and say my country not fuck me over.
The guy has already become a legend and into the political history of Argentina, everyone else (except for Cristina it) will be remembered in a paragraph next to its name, and some day our grandchildren will ask us where we were when he took over as President.
Cristina now support and will continue to help train the guys that come behind us, now you see 14 year-olds who ask where they can military and that is the greatest legacy left by the kircherismo: the fact that we have restored the faith in political institutions.
important thing is that we believe in a country model and are willing to put all our bit to deepen it, is not perfect, because it is something that comes from human and no one is perfect, but good enough to support him and to believe in him.
Men and women go, but world-changing ideas never die and live in those who believe in them, I think it will happen with this model, because what we have inside and pass on to those who come after us.
