After Sunday 23 of October, the
Peronist Government of Kirchner presented/displayed the results
of the legislative elections like a full endorsement to his
management. Also, with the support of press means the Government
was in charge to indicate the high concurrence of the electorate,
but this was asi '?
The Government has consolidated
his power in the House of Representatives: now he has 122 banks
(adding to its allies) to only 7 banks of the own quorum. In as
much, in the Senate he managed to add 43 banks (adding to its
allies), 6 more of the necessary ones to obtain the same aim
that in Deputies. Therefore he is deduced that the laws that the
Government considers vital are going to be promulgated without
disadvantage some. The "ties" for the policy of Kirchner were
finished. From now on it has the power with no need to legislate
and to execute of pacts in the Congress or the use of decrees of
necessity and urgency. In fact, one of the first measures of the
Government after the elections, was the one to promote the
discussion of the "social pact" between the CGT and the UIA, for
this way putting in box to the increasing social conflicts.
On the other hand, the strategy of
alliance of the Government with the cross-sectional calls (divided
and personalities autodefinidas like centroizquierdistas) and
the little right to exercice civil rights of the representatives
of the right (Macri, Lopez Murphy, Sobisch) has finished with
the possibility of a competing figure to the Government. This
way it is consolidated the unique party of the bourgeoisie,
since from the Binner Socialist to the Peronist Of the Sota, or
the ex- menemista Maza, between many others, agrees with the
policy that the government is carrying out and the proposals
that the same one for the future has. Within this strategy, we
can see as the Peronist Party is being dragged to the extinction
like traditional party. It already expressed president Kirchner
and several civil employees of second line that the Front For
the Victory, party created by the government, is an expression
superior to the one of the Peronist Party in the traditional
form that had existed until now.
Nevertheless the victory of the
oficialismo did not taste that they waited for, since they lost
in three of the five key districts of the country: Independent
city of Buenos Aires, Province of Santa Fe and Province of
Mendoza. In as much in the Province of Cordova they prevailed in
alliance with an historical one over the menemismo, happened
recently in pro-government official. In the Province of Buenos
Aires they had a comfortable triumph with respect to the other
parties.
The real
numbers of the elections
In the elections, that in our
country are obligatory, 71% of the total of the electoral
register voted, which indicates that the abstention was of 29%.
This number is superior to the abstention that occurred in the
legislative elections of 2001 (26%), in the presidential ones of
1995 (18%) and in the presidential ones of 2003 that consecrated
president to Kirchner (22%). Not only this, but that the
abstention from these elections only is surpassed by the
presidential elections of 1922 when the abstention was of 44.5
%.
Also the negative vote was
important (in target, null or opposed). At national level the
percentage was of 9.24% of the emitted votes, being located in
the fourth position behind the two currents of the Peronism and
the U.C.R.. Beyond of not to have approached the numbers of 2001
(21% of the emitted votes, that were denominated as the vote
quarrel), the percentage reached in these elections were located
over the presidential ones of 1995 (7,5%), of the presidential
ones of 1999 (5%) and if we took like reference the presidential
elections of 2003 (1,9%), the percentage of negative votes
quintuplicó.
On the other hand, it is
significant as voted more the economically developed districts:
in the Province of Buenos Aires the abstention was of 27.19 %
and the negative vote of 10.14%, in the Independent City of
Buenos Aires 27.66 % and 4.80%, in the Province of Cordova
33.25% and 8.60%, in the Province of Santa Fe 26.67% and 11.64,
in the Province of Mendoza 27.08% and 8,99%.
Contrary, the greater percentage
of assistants to vote and the greater percentage of positive
votes were registered in the slowst provinces, where the
political caudillismo follows still on: Province of the Rioja
and Province of Pampas (greater concurrence of voters) and
Province of Chaco, Province of Jumps and Province of Tucumán (greater
percentage of positive votes).
These data it is come off that
35.4% of the electoral register did not go to vote or did it
negatively, whereas the oficialismo obtained 26.1% of the
register. Also, no political force of the call opposition,
surpasses 10% of the total of the register. These numbers
indicate to us, among other things, that are consolidating two
great parties within the electoral system: those that vote
positively, and those that do not choose any of the proposals of
the system. This last option was not an expression of an
organized sector, was not a proposal raised by great parties,
only small groups dedicated to military man the negative vote or
the abstention. Therefore, a task to future considers as the one
of encausar in a new tool the negative vote, the abstention and
including the vote to small parties of "real" the left call,
many of which were the product of the absence of a truely
revolutionary organization.
The working-class
follows without counting on a party that represents them. A
party with a revolutionary doctrine based on the fight of
classes, a party that defends the interests of the workers and
that discusses the power to him to the bourgeoisie.
