Elections

The reputed Professor George Philip from the LSE, who initially saw with good eyes to Fujimori, believes that he wandered like all Latin American President seeking to perpetrate in power. The student wear out and end up throwing overboard what previously had been achieved. In Europe there are indefinite student because persons holding the positions of the head of Government or State are not the same. However, things change in less rich and stable countries and where there is a President who concentrates these two functions. Latin American rulers who imposed two or more student ended up being deposed by popular or armed uprisings (Mexico 1911, 1989 Paraguay, Peru 2000). Chavez lost for the first time a few votes in the referendum to its proposal for indefinite re-election. While the Venezuelan left comes accepting if it wants to follow in Palace you must have a new ruler, Colombian been want to force new measures to extend the period of its President. Achieve Uribe win another term, in the long run, could end in his defeat and crash.

The Lack Of Abode

The lack of dwelling Teodulo Lopez Melendez the banishment of the habits of humanistic appearance is the main logical event of our time, an event to which it is useless to seek refuge in arguments of goodwill. Peter Sloterdijk the lack of dwelling expression is Heidegger’s when letter on humanism thus defined the outstanding ontological trait of contemporary man. It is precisely in an errancy, how heideggerian, where is the man. Gianni Vattimo phoned the characteristic nihilist’s postmodern man weak thought. In the absence of a thought that speaks the truth and (strong) all has risen one who rejects the (weak) omnicomprehensive legitimations.

From there the suffering of the post-modern man would simply is not yet sufficiently nihilistic, because you have nostalgia for what was lost and is not yet accustomed to the dissolution of being, this time stamp, so that man is It ensures to live with semiverdades and without grounds. We will have to resort to a paradigm of complexity such as Edgar Morin, defined him to move to a logic contrary to immobility and make waking the man. We are involved in static concepts, man has left to conceptualise in a complex manner. The totalizing vision that exceeds human contradictions this is, the utopia – remains already hanging on the coat rack. The protest of the subjectivity in this way destotalizo, although the lack of answers causes 21st century some totalitarian scatological complete closing of the social and the conservative reaction of denial of the possibility of change in the established.

The human being is shown splinter. It is pessimistic and selfless, as if it nadase in a dystopia of an absolute solitude against himself. Protective wrappings disintegrate, as the nation-State, powerless before the unique problems that have become universal. Against this, the lack is that of a complex thought, one that we might well call disutopico, open to the emergency.

United States Markets

After a few turbulent weeks in international financial markets, in the beginning of this week you can breathe optimism and a little peace of mind. As I said in yesterday’s article and one day the markets changed humor ads in Governments to sustain their systems financial gave result and markets changed their mood. To complement the barrage of ads produced during last Monday, yesterday, USA.UU., confirmed the partial nationalization of banks consisting of the purchase of shares of such entities, what plan to allocate $250,000 million US $700,000 billion of the rescue program approved by the US Congress.The U.S., which ended dispel the fears in the market about the U.S. financial system. Calm in international markets and the brake to the meltdown of the American financial system, have undoubtedly represented a great relief to Mexico. Is that the Mexican economy, which already feel the impact of the slowdown (or rather, recession) was American economic, In addition, affected from other fronts that were threatening to generate a destabilizing effect. Until a few weeks ago ago, the American crisis felt in Mexico through reduction in U.S. demand for Mexican products and the reduction of remittances that Mexicans resident in the United States.UU., sent to the country.

But in recent weeks, the financial channel also began to feel the impact of the crisis in the U.S. financial system. The same Guillermo Ortiz, Governor of the Bank of Mexico, acknowledged in an interview the impact of the crisis on the financial channel saying: three weeks ago did not feel any contagion through financial channels, but already feel financial contagion. The turmoil in markets had resulted in a strong weakening of the Mexican currency against the US dollar, reaching quote at $14 per unit of the greenback. In this context, the Central Bank of Mexico came to sustain the trading of its currency, which had to pay a cost for not inconsiderable.
