FORMOSA
special
.- It is the rubichá or Mburuvicha of Formosa, interpreters discuss Guarani. But no doubt who speak: Gildo Insfran is why the "big boss" and eternal governor of a province, with the arrival of kirchenrismo, was filled with work, pensions and public funds. Néstor Kirchner is not wrong, according to government supporters and opponents agree. Gildo, as everyone calls him, be his most loyal soldier to the end, as it was with all previous presidents.
"loyalty and discipline" is the formula adopted by the 15-year rule of Insfrán -22, if you count his two terms as lieutenant governor earlier. Is the scheme original Peronist, military, top-down, according to point the few gildistas who dared to speak to the NATION. Is the formula of "Paraguayan dictatorship, opponents complain. From the "Paraguayan culture, in any case", granted the former.
loyalty is addressed to the national government of the day, the only way of survival for a province that raises less than 5% of its budget, lacks a productive private sector, where almost two thirds of the labor force works for the state ( Formosa 70,000) or in the works to be financed by national funds.
governing discipline indoors, to the point that local government controls 70% of legislators and recognized as belonging to all the mayors of the interior. Justice is no stranger: no officials prosecuted.
wayward For the desert Insfrán's predecessor, Vicente Welcome Joga, is the only Peronist who dare to question publicly. PJ no longer belongs to the province. Joga shares with the other two concerning the opposition, Senator Luis Petcoff Naidenoff and Rep. Richard Buryaille, both from the UCR, the rare privilege of not appearing in official media.
The data is not trivial: in Formosa, on the fingers of one hand to count the independent media. Even the local branch of the state agency Telam, which employed a journalist critical was closed. The province, however, has two channels and financially supports two newspapers and over 60 private radio stations. At the request of the Governor, the Legislature recently approved in a single day, the creation of a public television system, Internet and telephony.
gildismo But the apparatus was not created in a day. Born in Laguna Blanca, against Paraguay, the veterinarian of 59 he entered politics in 1983 by the father and the brother of his wife, Teresa Baldus. "It was a humble boy, suffered, but brilliant," said National Deputy Juan Carlos Díaz Roig, one of the few officers who dared to speak without concessions. Another senior officials only agreed to talks in his van with tinted windows while driving.
"Manage"
A negative sign was the only response Insfrán the NATION. "Gildo not going to Buenos Aires to talk to the media: will manage," said one adviser, who said the governor is able to wait for hours in the offices of the Capital, provided that they are addressed. That is "managed" in Formosa, and only manages Insfrán Kirchner.
in Formosa in 1983 commanded the current lieutenant governor, Floro Eleuterio Bogado. Despite the unruly outbursts from his wife, the current Federal Senator Adriana Bortolozzi PJ, Bogart was defined by the same officers as the "Best vice in the world" for their "little appetite for power."
Bogart's successor, Vicente Joga (1987-1995), was the one who took the vicegobernación Insfrán. The pact was known to all that were to alternate in office. So Insfrán for governor came in 1995, with the help of a law of lemmas introduced in 1987 and has since become a guarantee of power for the PJ. The
Naidenoff and Buryaille reported and did not deny the ruling party, is standard in all the province's 37 mayors compete against other sublemas PJ-often their family members, and we all bring to Insfrán main theme.
But the break with Joga occurred before the 1999 election, when it was supposed to return to power. The episode is remembered by all: one of the judges of the Superior Court of Justice (TSJ), which responded to Joga Insfrán delayed the order to interpret the Constitution in their favor Provincial and allow you to be a candidate. The "solution" to the problem has not escaped the scandal: the judge was arrested by order of a provincial court of first instance, who accused him of "obstruction" to justice.
After the arrest, the Supreme Court adopted Insfrán reelection. Menem Court gave its approval to the decision: at that point, after having supported Antonio Cafiero in the inner against Carlos Menem, the governor had been listed in the column behind the Rioja. Insfrán would do the same, then the president Adolfo Rodriguez Saa, Eduardo Duhalde and Kirchner.
was, in fact, the first governor to support the Santa Cruz, even before Duhalde. Two days after taking office, Kirchner would return the gesture, signed the Covenant to Repair Historic Formosa, a province which, by the possibility of conflict with Paraguay, had been forgotten by the nation. That covenant is the basis of spectacular national cash flow bathes the province today (see separate article).
Since 2003, when it amended the Constitution provincial to allow indefinite re-election, Insfrán crushes his opponents in every election. And tightly aligned his troops. Despite the rebellions of Bortolozzi, no one is betting on a breakup with his vice. In fact, some think they see that, thanks to these transgressions, Insfrán already started to build a bridge to the dissident Peronist. To remain ruling in 2011, where a new "ruvichá" occupy the Casa Rosada. Gildo Insfran
