THE MAFIA OF CULTURE CAMPECHANO
By Luis de la Vega
few years ago was called and a group of boys who, somehow, had been placed in the cultural folksy, but his biggest sin was to not allow entry to their circle, anyone do not share their ideas, certainly not all bad.
And although there was much mediocrity and although some were charged with mutual praise magnify also there were some very talented and, ultimately, be of those who managed to highlight national and even international.
If however, despite the antipathy aroused by this group in the environment, say art, of this capital, we could say that at least its profit targets were not bold. And somehow they did something for the good name of the entity, culturally
But the political changes, the ability of some of these young intellectuals (as they liked to call himself) to get well-paid positions in the formal environment were this group and the breaking away somewhat hearty cultic institutions.
However, to demonstrate that culture is just beautiful adornment Mexican governments, the former Institute of Culture and the date of its creation, the Culture House, became an entire Secretariat with a corresponding increase in budget and other additional benefits.
In other states this would have meant an increase in quality and quantity of cultural events and a closer these to all social classes that, after all, are those who contribute - through taxes, you need to the operation of that institution.
More like to smile and say our detractors in Campeche everything is upside down and thanks to a decision of the current state governor, Fernando Ortega Bernese ownership of this Department fell into the hands less appropriate and there continues.
This "influential" as ruler in one year, perhaps by a perverse antipathy toward his predecessor, (which would not be officially,) has shed several programs already achieved great popularity among the citizenry without even replace them with something of lesser quality. Out and now.
In return, developed a couple of those little programs that perhaps could be attractive to a small core of people. And cleverly, has partnered with another official, now the municipal level, to concoct a monthly program is laughable.
The goal, of course, is to impress their bosses and patrons with such elementary things, in the case of the Secretariat, could not justify. And, accordingly, the budget it deserves, since all events are held with employees of the community.
last month, things have reached their limit and the small booklet that combine (inexplicably) the activities of the municipality and the state government, managed to combine 60 fiestecilla worthy of an analysis of the rulers.
Serenades and small concerts in the parks of the city, not too much, too well mediditos are the core of the overall program, supplemented with many events based on those made by libraries, supposedly aimed at children . And stop counting.
Although it is odd that Don Fernando and Don Carlos Ernesto may not have noticed the paucity in this line of governments that should cost pesos good, people do have noticed but, as always, bad attribute it to the leaders themselves.
is possible that both Mr. Ortega and the CP Rosado Bernese Ruelas did not have sufficient time to review these little (in every sense of the word) but they should remember that all this comes to be reflected in their good credit and their own responsibilities.
Now, the new mafia folksy culture has made another alliance in the opposite direction to the start of the work concerning the most anticipated celebration of the hearty: the Carnival ceased to be part of social development activities and went to the Culture in both cases.
The "capo" municipal and state programs it works, especially in the area where nothing can take some small "gains" extra, which is for supporting the charges at the wrong time and were granted who have failed to perform as expected.
For one thing, and municipal level, is known about the collaboration of a well-known foreign commentator in increasingly vast professional resume now adds his wisdom in a celebration that until recently no less than a decade knew well.
With the things we do not know how far the work of undermining this little mafia in there and has the disappearance of cultural programs, a tradition of ours in a beauty contest and the decrease University Carnival program, among other things.
But what everyone is incomprehensible, even to a neophyte in matters of politics and unnecessary commitments, is the obstinacy of the state and municipal leaders to support their protection, even against the public .
Against all what has been said against the new but at the same dire state and municipal officials, and contrary to the public will, both Carlos Vidal Angles as "Jesse" Martinez continue to thrive in their respective positions with the agreement, apparently, their "bosses."
Both groups seem to forget is the people who should be satisfied with their activities because, supposedly, is this who elected them. And out of their respective contributions, not just their no small wages, but the total cost of their respective positions.
is desirable that both the Governor Bernese Ortega, who is expected the best for the state as Mayor Ruelas Rosado, reconsider and put in place these new members of the mafia culture Campeche before it is too late.
Personally, I remember a famous saying that "love and loathing removed no knowledge," and it is possible that new cultural mafia are your friends, but that does not prevent them from seeing all the bad things are making the people of Campeche.
is not possible for holders of the culture of a people are as they are these, foul-mouthed, dipsomaniacs, untidy, vulgar and vulgar to a fault, but mostly arrogant and abusive. Or is this the culture we want to pass on to future generations?
