The secret table and "calm down, we won't kill you"

During our first demurrage(stay) in Inírida we were taking the immediate decisions with total autonomy. This they had to see with our nourishment, our housing and the transport.  The most key it was necessary to consult them with Bogota, but anyhow we did not have chief different from the manager of Option in the net, Daisy, and Dairo, of the COC, both in the capital.  Only that in the departmental table was needed a coordination and a clarity that we did not have.  Besides, since it(he,she) was going to come Díaz Uribe, employees of all the bottoms(funds) and journalists of the national diaries, it was not possible to go out with a jet of slobbers.  So for air route there came Adalgiza Laverde, director(principal) of the PNR, Enrique Sandoval, economist adviser of the PNUD, and Maria Consuelo Ramirez, the representative of the Guainía before the net in the republican house, I joust opposite Nariño's palace.  They helped us to which the sectorial tables were coming to an agreement; Especially in to select the places to where they had to direct the resources to him(you,them) for every program.

Adalgiza and Enrique were very effective, the regulations were known to the right and upside-down; it was helping very much at the moment of be defining with the community.  Maria Consuelo was guarding silence in almost all the meetings and was allowing that they should do.  The truth I do not know the royal(real) sense of his(its) position(place), since his(its) step along the Guainía was very silent.  Only I can say that it(he,she) gave to me a small orientation with regard to the components of every project.  The case is that the three were with us in all four tables and fitted to the fine line the capture of the most important decisions.

With them there was a table in the office contiguous to the office of the governor.  There were almost all the personnel of the secretary of planeación departmental, the in charge(entrusted) governor, Rojas Tomedes, the in charge(entrusted) mayor, they three and we. It was discussed on the royal(real) resources that were had for the Guainía and that might be used for the accomplishment of the departmental table.  The displacements of the rural representatives, his(its) nourishment and the refreshments were going out very costly, especially having in one counts(tells) the prices that he(she) had to pay the government for the petrol.  How the condition(state) pays with three months of delay, officially it is not bought to price of the market, but much more expensive. It(he,she) was so(then) that to negotiate with the resources that could be obtained in Bogota and that it(he,she) had the government to go out of the impasse.  The case is that Sandoval extracted a few bundles of constant forms of green lines and said " this in order that it(he,she) should not go out of between(among) us... " And it(he,she) made clear that this information that it(he,she) had were resources of the national budget that were coming for Findeter. They were indicating items(games) assigned by the local Congressmembers for projects to realizing in the Guainía. A pavement of the route to the airport parallel, programs of employment in the Guaviare, runways for the rural level and things like that. The problem was that all of them were resources assigned without project, a clear violation of the in force legislation. Adalgiza and the economist recognized them as revenues of specific destination and they were feeling indignant, but also they were recognizing the need to use them, since it was a question of needs more than recognized in the department.

The pod was that did not have project.  The UDECO and the secretaries did not have the technical capacity to realize them, trainings lightning would cost the same thing that(that) the projects, so they have that(that) to arrange since they could. I do not know in that(that) these projects stayed, if they carried out or not, if at least the money came, but they were parliamentary aids in alive(vivacious) and directly and were (a) (sound) the common practice in the congress, with the permission of the bottoms(funds) of cofinaciación*.  They all those who handle resources of the condition(state) know it and are too much compromised like to do something.  A change of constitution does not turn the Congressmembers overnight into opponents of the system of the aids (be read clientelismo*).  The constituent ones could be opposed, but the device that was generating them (generates) it(he,she) continued as if at all(nothing), with everything and buildings full of technical personnel used to the most common of the world managing them like.

The peoples(villages) that generate the resources do not know what does with them, do not know with clarity when they extract them, but they understand that are not going to give exactly where they need it.  Where the politicians need it yes.  They handle them, not we.  These resources were approved by the presidency, to control the politicians used to this type of things, as if they were a folklore.  " ¡ they will not be able to take them from us! " He(she) said to us " dona Graciela Ortíz of Default ", and there they are alive and knocking...

It is not at all, if we compare(compared) it with the situation of human rights of the arrested in the Guainía.  For them the Habeas Corpus did not exist, since in the whole department there had no Defender of the People(village) until May, 95 and was touching the personera* " to double ".  Since only there is an immense municipality, it(he,she) was not giving himself(herself,itself) supply; to hard sorrow(sentences) it(he,she) was reaching for the urban hull.

The situation of the prisoners owes to the centralism, since his(its,her) cases handle all from Villavicencio, to telepathy I suppose.  There it(he,she) is quite: the political directories(boards of directors), the regional ones of Policeman(police), army, the bottoms(funds) of cofinaciación*, Agrarian and like that Box.  The institutions that exist in the Guainía are all dependences.  Maybe the ICBF has a higher degree of decentralization, but I doubt it.  The resources that come are scanty, it(he,she) touches to do malabares* to come to few children that it(he,she) covers.  To it is added that the community mothers desertan* you upset has the subsidy of housing and touches to happen of the one to other one.  If not even the assigned resources and the dates limits are fulfilled! Bogota same puts them and Bogota same breaks them.

La Plata does not come. I was three months with them it(he,she) thrills of seeing executions, but at all(nothing).  The dates limits were on June 31, but in July already one was speaking of that(that) in August, when the winter had finished, and they were commenting to me that if they were of good the royal(real) date was going to be in November. I came not more to beneficiaries' identification, in six months.  Six months about which the central level "was" "thinking" to organize in what was corresponding(fitting) to the rural level.  Six months in which one was assembling the people, him(her) it(he,she) was explaining, one was returning to assemble one and other one and afresh(again).  The projects can not be elaborated in 2 days, but before it(he,she) is that the people answer, after knowing what is politician's promise.

The Colombian peasants, native and up to us we have turned(become) professionals in to wait what does not come.  With the budgets that they award him to the health, the education and the housing does not reach for any more.  Them there eat up the bureaucracy, the "lizards", the transport and other "articles".  What comes is not even the tenth part(report) and comes very very late.  There were hopes that there was an execution in the neighborhood The Liberators of Inírida, but of the program of a mayor initiated in 92. I have not returned to the Guainía and the most probable thing is that still(yet) they are expecting.

Once it(he,she) was in the restaurant in where every day were having lunch, conversing with the director of the SISBEN.  In this there came the director of the box of compensation, every azarado* and annoyed. He(she) was saying that he(she) did not like to have above to the inspectors, that like that it was not possible to work, that it was not serving for anything, that that could not do to take them from him(you,them) of above.  I remembered(reminded) that I also was controlling and he(she) said that not, that it was different and it(he,she) added " but calm, that we do not kill(did not kill) ". He(she) said it like between(among) joke and seriously, but he(she) made me remember(remind) Giraldo's case, in the Valley.  This type started to follow each and every of the cases of corruption in the department, and they threatened it. It(he,she) had to change the daughters of college, two grenades put him to the house with everything and police protection, it(he,she) could not go out to the street because suddenly they were killing it and it(he,she) seems that he(she) died of a cardiac assault when they were trying to extract it for Venezuela. Almost it(he,she) was shouting that the government of Gaviria had to guarantee the right to the life, which it(he) had right to live in Colombian territory and because of it to push back the offers to be going to live in the exterior. The same one was saying that the mafia of the corruption was bigger than that of the drug trafficking and it(he,she) was not only national, was working internationally and was getting for where it(he,she,I) wants(want) he(she) was finding equally corrupt employees.

In Korea, in Belgium, in Spain, in Germany, in Japan...  Everywhere one has seen, and it is exactly the mafia that is in the power.  The UNO not more is an authorization of her(it): The atomic weapon is prohibited for the whole world, except for U.S., Russia, France, England and China, that they are those who more have.  They are the guarantors of the peace in the world and handle the safety advice to will.  The general assembly must keep silent before the safety advice and to respect his(its,her) resolutions.  A Brazilian diplomat was saying that the letter of San Francisco was not but a prize for those who armed itself first.  If Iran, Argentina, Pakistan or any other one decides to make an atomic pump, it(he) is immediately doomed(condemned).  If they make it the permanent members of the safety advice, nothing happens(passes).  After everything, they have an arsenal since(as,like) to erase(smear) all all of the map.  Another little bomb is not at all compared with it.

Come to the field, mine(my) friend! He(she) listens to distrustful people who does not have zeal, which converses and discusses.  To work the land, to give of eating after seeing to grow the plant(floor) makes you different.  Your physical sweat, your simple mind makes the happiness easier.  Because Foucault can find relations of power in the middle of the love, but the peasant is not Foucault.  Because walking along the life is not the same thing that to sit down in her(it).
