Romário há 20 anos atrás concedeu entrevista exclusiva a Jorge Kajuru. O bate papo foi exibido domingo à noite (08-02-04) no especial “Chutando o Balde”, na Band.

Romário disse que é um dos três melhores jogadores do mundo, criticou a imprensa e deu sua versão sobre as Copas de 98 e 2002. Confira abaixo alguns trechos:

SOBRE A IMPRENSA:

“A minha relação com a imprensa melhorou bastante nos últimos 4 anos. A imprensa aprendeu a me respeitar, eu sou diferente, e por isso as minhas declarações repercutem tanto”

JUKA KFOURI:

“Eu gosto do Juca, mas ele andou falando muita besteira, que eu tenho que parar de jogar… quem tem que saber disso sou eu, não ele”

JOSÉ LUIS DATENA:

“Não gosto dele, mas respeito porque fala a verdade” CASAGRANDE:

"Quem é ele pra falar de mim ? Não sabe de nada! Fala um monte de besteira! É um bom comentarista, mas o problema é comigo, até de burro já me chamou!”

RONALDO:

“Não tenho nada contra, bom filho, bom coração, eu respeito ele, um dos maiores dos últimos 10 anos” “Em que eu supero o Ronaldo? Tenho mais visão de gol do que ele” “Se é um absurdo chamar o Ronaldo de fenômeno? Não! Em marketing ele é fenômeno!”

EDMUNDO:

“É um maluco legal, decente”

OS MELHORES JOGADORES DO MUNDO (PELÉ, MARADONA E ROMÁRIO) “Primeiro o Pelé, depois o Maradona, que é um personagem que eu gosto” “O terceiro do mundo sou eu, depois vem o Ronaldo Gaúcho”

POLÍTICA:

“Eu queria ser político pra ajudar as crianças”

LUIZ INÁCIO LULA DA SILVA:

“Eu não votei no Lula, votei no Serra, mas o Lula é um cara do caralho”

O MOTIVO DO CORTE DE 2002:

“Disseram que eu estava com uma mulher no Uruguai ? Mentira! Quem falou isso pro Felipão inventou, quero acreditar que o motivo do corte foi técnico”

PORQUE NÃO FOI ESCALADO EM 98:

“Foi babaquice do Zagalo e do Zico” “Em 98 estava completamente abandonado, foi o momento mais triste da minha vida”

QUANDO CHOROU:

“Na morte do meu tio, da minha avó e no seqüestro do meu pai, estes foram momentos muito difíceis”

SEXO X FUTEBOL:

“Não tem nada melhor do que transar antes do jogo, no dia”

MAIOR EMOÇÃO:

“Quando levantei a taça da Copa do Mundo em 94”

TCL 3x10 thoughts

The main things: 

The ep starts immediately after last ep, then goes to the next morning and takes place over just one day. Nadia also says it’s been ‘an eventful few weeks’ since she made the deal to buy the house (which was in 3x01, so the entire season has taken place over around 3 weeks)

One of my favourite things about this series, and about Thony specifically, is that she’s not only an unintentional angel of death for the people around her, but also for criminal empires?? Literally this show is full of seasoned criminals who thrived for years in the darkest parts of the Vegas underworld, and then they encounter Thony, and boom! Down they go. Hayak. Cortes. Kamdar. (Even Arman, in a slightly different way). And now it looks like Sin Cara is next… honestly the Feds should be falling at her feet in gratitude haha 

Lol at Thony and Fi’s little bit of theatre for Jeremy as they set up their own little ‘sting’ for him. Thony actually nearly breaking and laughing at Fi’s ranting for a second was so cute, because while this is a serious situation, it is a bit bizarre to think that this is what their life has become. And this scene was so worth it just to get to watch two skilled actors having to pretend to be bad at acting… moments like this are always fun, like a kind of act-ception haha. Ngl it’s a good thing that Thony confronts Jeremy by the end of the episode though, bc I doubt it would have taken much longer for him to notice something was up, with all the dramatic conversations happening right in front of his bugs while and other conversations were hushed under the cover of super loud TV/music. Not to mention the suspiciously intentional-looking plumbing emergencies lol (seriously Thony?? A hammer??? lol).  To be fair though, Fi’s acting did improve a lot by the end, with their clever little ploy to make Jeremy think Thony was on her way to kill Nadia. That entire sequence was done well– even though anyone who has been watching the show for more than like a week would know that Thony would never kill Nadia (at least while literally any other option existed), it was still enjoyable to experience the ‘suspense’ that the creative team set up regarding Nadia’s fate. I just hope that she can make it through the finale… 

Honestly I love the deliberate continued theme in this show of Thony being caught between worlds, and the constant push and pull of ‘good vs evil’ and ‘power vs vulnerability’. It’s why, despite all her efforts, she can never quite escape the criminal world, and she can never quite escape the hold of the FBI either. And they’re often tied up together, too– to protect herself or someone she cares about from one, she reaches out to the other. In late s1, Arman helped protect her from the FBI by agreeing to be an informant, and in turn she was part of the plan to protect him from both the FBI and Hayak. In S2, she agrees to inform for the FBI again in order to protect Arman and keep him out of prison. And now, she’s making that same deal– and risking her own safety– but for Nadia this time. To me, though, I think that she’s reached a kind of ‘fool me once’ situation with the FBI, and though she says she’s going to help then take down Sin Cara, I think she is actually going to be following her own agenda, and using the ties she has to both the cartel and the FBI to manipulate them into taking each other out, and leaving her being the only one left standing. And god I hope that’s where things are headed bc I would be so here for it.

I really wish we’d been able to see a lot more of Thony and Nadia’s relationship this season, because it’s so compelling and complex and I’ve loved every moment they’ve shared so far. Nadia’s “oh no” at seeing Thony walking into the club was hilarious; they haven’t seen each other in the week or so since the wake, but Thony showing up at the club looking deathly serious is never a good sign. I loved that they were immediately like ‘ok bye Jorge the grownups need to talk’ tho lol– he may have formed connections with both of them, but he hasn’t gotten to this level of club membership yet. Thony’s first question to Nadia (“Did you cut a deal with the feds?”) felt like an interesting tie-in to the events of earlier eps, given that it was exactly what Nadia asked her at the wake– tbh these two must feel like they’re on a merry-go-round or something, and it’s all because they just haven’t been completely open with one another!!! But finally, here, they’re starting to be, even if it’s too goddamn late now (*adele voice* we could have had it aaaaaalll). But anyway ughhhh “All I wanted was to find Arman, like you. I wanted to protect him.” Honestly Nadia acknowledging/accepting Thony’s genuine love of Arman has been one of the parts of this season that I have appreciated the most. These two women are bonded by that love, which is why Thony telling Nadia she should have come to her is such a punch in the gut, because you can see her pain and regret, her utter dismay at the fact that her preoccupation with her own family (getting Fi and Chris back, preventing Luca from being taken away) led her to overlook what was going on with Nadia– aka with Arman’s family– and now she has let down the only other person Arman truly loved. And I think she went to La Habana fully intending to warn her, but then it became clear that Nadia wouldn’t listen to her even if she did try to pose the fake-death plan (“You always think you know everything. But you don’t”), and would’ve almost certainly tried to run instead, endangering both of them. So instead Thony tries once more to talk Ramona out of it (unsuccessfully, of course), and ugh when she says she wants to take care of Nadia herself “For Arman” and she squeezes her eyes shut as she says his name… the grief of losing him is still so goddamn fresh and now she’s terrified she’s going to fail him by not being able to save Nadia in time. But that’s the thing about Thony– she never gives up on the people she loves. And because of Arman, that group includes Nadia. 

Nadia’s reaction to Thony striding straight into her house (literally how does Thony even know where that is?) is so funny bc she doesn’t even get angry, it’s just like mild exasperation as she tries to convince Thony to leave. That is, until her brain catches up and suddenly she just stops and says “What’s happening?” because she knows Thony, knows that she wouldn’t actually barge in like this without a damn serious reason. When Thony tells her the danger she’s in, she believes her immediately (ugh her panic was hard to watch) and immediately begs for Thony to help– because while they may have a complex relationship, she knows that Thony is the only person she has left who actually cares what happens to her, and she also knows that Thony is clever and capable and holds a surprising amount of power, and often does manage to fix things even when a situation seems impossible. Which is exactly what Thony does next– and while I wish that Thony had explained to Nadia about what she was going to do, so Nadia didn’t have to have those brief moments of terror and betrayal before she lost consciousness, I get that it had to be written this way or it would have spoiled the twist. But oh man, even though I knew  Thony wouldn’t kill her and that she was going to be fine, the relief at seeing her wake up on that couch was still so damn real, phew. Eva did an amazing job with Nadia’s emotions on waking up, from utter confusion to a mix of relief, gratitude and anger. The scene between her and Thony in Jeremy’s lair felt like it was cut off midway through, which I guess means that they’re going to pick up exactly where they left off in the finale next week, like this was actually a 3-part finale rather than a 2 parter, and I can’t wait to see more of the Nadia/Thony dynamic next week.

And given my love for both Nadia and Thony, gotta say I do love how much Ramona herself has shown genuine admiration for both women, for their competence, intelligence, determination, fortitude, their coolness under pressure, and their desire for power. (Like in her conversation with Ramona, Thony would always deny that desire, but tbh people who want a simple family life do not become cardiac surgeons. Much like being a cartel leader, it’s a profession that provides money, prestige, authority, and a near-godlike ability over life and death– ergo, power). Anyway, Ramona’s entire art collection, her life, is centred around women with those traits, and tbh in another life I think these three incredible women could have become an unbeatable team that ruled Vegas together. Ramona saw that possibility and tried to make it happen, only for both of them to reject her, and now… well, I think we are heading for a ‘this town ain’t big enough for the both of us’ situation, and lbr it’s going to be Thony that’s the one left standing

Honestly I love that I have written a bunch of words already for this ep, and it’s all been about women– that’s one of the true gifts of this show, how much it focuses on women and their stories and their relationships. In the earlier seasons it was mostly just focused around Thony and Fi’s characters, but after the loss of Adan, and having a female villain for a change (two if you count Russo), the focus on women has definitely expanded and been even more apparent this season. I’m sad that it’s looking unlikely that Ramona or my baby Nadia will return next season, because they deserved to have more of their story told. Still, I’m clinging to the hope that Nadia may somehow return, and I’ll get more of the amazing Thony & Nadia dynamic that we all deserve

Anyway I guess I could talk about a boy now– though given that he is literally surrounded by women in his life, Jorge is an honorary girl to me lol. It was cute to see him so excited about all the hotel stuff, from his big spiel to Nadia to all the proposal materials in his office– looks like he’s finally found his own path, not just the one Ramona chose for him. (Though holy shit it’s so messed up that the corporate world is literally the best place to hide illegal activity, wow). I found it hilarious that when Jorge was trying to sell Nadia on the hotel idea and saying all this stuff about how she’ll be the face of it etc, the picture very clearly shows he’s planning to call it ‘JS hotel’ lol. So she’s the face but it’s named after you?? Hmmm. Also geez he laid it on a little thick with the flattery there, but I guess it worked, because you could see how smitten she was with the hotel idea. And I can understand how some people might interpret that as her being smitten with him, but I genuinely don’t think so. First of all, she lost the man she loved literally like a week and a half ago; there’s no way that she has even the slightest inclination to look at anyone romantically right now. Plus, the show has already established that she’s incredibly good at reading people. She knows he’s trying to manipulate her in order to access her money, but in her life, that’s just a demonstration of good business skills. She sees what working with him can give her, and she wants it. In S1 she says to Arman “What do we own? Nothing”-- I think it’s hugely important to her character to actually be in possession of something big, to be the owner, not just the manager, to remove herself as far from the powerless girl from the Argentinian slums as she can. Anyway I love that one of his arguments is that she’ll be ‘set for life’ if they do this… because apparently already having 50 million dollars isn’t being set for life??? Man, what a world they live in haha. Anyway with it seeming unlikely that Nadia will be around next season, I wonder if the hotel will still somehow happen in S4? Maybe somehow Thony gets involved with it, though I don’t really see her wanting any part in something like that… tbh my main concern is that we might not get to see the La Habana set next season :(

Seeing Jeremy’s reaction to being burned was so satisfying. Not so clever now, are you, buddy?? Got outsmarted by a civilian just like Garrett did, and now you’ll be working with her, just like Garrett… but unlike Garrrett, she has zero regard or sense of obligation toward you, and so you may think she’s gonna work with you and follow your orders, but think again. She’s just going to bide her time until she has you right where she wants you, and then she will completely fuck you over, because you betrayed her family and took the man she loves, and that’s what you deserve. Be grateful if you walk out of all of this alive. 

Other stuff:

Omg Fi going for the baseball bat to take out the smoke alarm. Someone has issues with impulsivity haha. Tbh her and Thony’s entire relationship is just the two of them taking turns holding each other back from doing something stupid and I love it

Ugh seeing Nadia standing all alone in that huge empty house, talking about how it’s time to put the past behind her and have a fresh start… and then later saying to Jorge that she just wants to be free… and then Thony telling her at the end that she’s free and she tells Thony that she took her whole life form her… ugh stop giving me stressful foreshadowing here writers. If Nadia has to go, write her out by having her run away into the sunset with her millions. Don’t make me watch her die twice!!!!!!!!!

I didn't initially remember seeing Ramona and Russo cross paths at La habana, but @gsue74 reminded me that they glimpse each other across the club the first time Ramona goes there, and Ramona noticed the way Nadia reacted to her arrival. Well done of the writers to plant that in 3x04 to come back up now. Anyway I do enjoy Russo’s sassiness though. It was never super obvious before bc she was always having to play the serious one keeping Garrett in line, but I think I see why they got along lol

Oh boy the agent that scared Violeta really fucked up lol, like maybe don’t piss off a super powerful cartel leader??? Dude’s gonna be feeding the fishes in the Hoover Dam in no time lol

 I love that the proposed hotel site is completely in the middle of nowhere, like too bad if the guests want to visit any other part of Vegas haha. Though I guess that might be entire point, to make it like a one-stop shop so guests will spend all their time and money in the one place lol

JD is such a cutie. Loved him taking advantage of a free weekday to bring thoughtful gifts for his bae. Lol at Fi shutting him up with a kiss– she really needs to go somewhere private and tell him everything though, bc he needs to know so he doesn’t inadvertently screw things up for them again. 

I really felt for Fi when she found the immigrant worker house empty– this show is always full of painful near-misses in terms of timing, but at least in this case there’s still the hope that Thony will be able to use her sway over Jorge to find Camila and Gisele

Anyway ugh the promo for the finale looks so good… Nadia at Thony’s house, wearing borrowed clothes while Thony makes a plan to get her her money back… Jorge apparently being there too and helping them… Thony in a fancy dress, shooting a gun… it might be Ramona’s assassin guy that she shoots (one of the clips looks like he could be fighting with Jeremy) but man it would be cool if it was actually Ramona or Jeremy that she shoots, and honestly I’m so down for either of those options. Maybe she even does it to protect one of them from the other– like maybe she shoots Ramona to save Jeremy, which would mean she’d probably get pardoned by the FBI for everything. Or she shoots Jeremy to save Ramona, making Ramona extremely grateful, and as a result Ramona makes sure the shooting never ties back to her, and brings her into Sin Cara in a position of power…. Either way it’s going to make for an interesting S4!

Los 8 datos que explican porqué el reino de Cataluña nunca existió (y los nacionalistas ocultan)

CATALUÑA NUNCA EXISTIÓ

En la idea de construir una ‘nación catalana‘, la formación de la Corona de Aragón deja en evidencia el relato de una nación catalana milenaria (o la corona catalanoaragonesa) por haber sido siempre fruto del destino de los reyes aragoneses. Y nunca tuvieron un carácter independiente en sus designios políticos.

Las órbitas independentistas siempre han intentado tergiversar la historia de la Corona de Aragón con hechos puestos en duda o con un gasto millonario en subvencionar a asociaciones que difundan las manipulaciones de los intereses políticos del nacionalismo. En concreto, hay 8 datos que el independentismo intenta derribar para formar su idea nacionalista pero que explican porqué el reino de Cataluña nunca existió.

Aragón será el «cabo principal de nuestra alteza» y «nombre y título nuestro principal», en palabras de Jaime I y de Pedro IV: los Aragón y los miembros de su familia se denominan de modo constante y único «Aragón».

SEÑERA

Con la constitución de Reino de Aragón tras incorporarse la casa de Barcelona, en ningún momento se pierde el emblema de la familia: las cuatro barras rojas sobre un fondo de oro que significa el ‘señal real de Aragón’. Un emblema que pasará a ser el de muchos de sus territorios. Es de la frase ‘señal real de Aragón’ de donde procede el término «senyera» o señera usado en Cataluña, Valencia y otros lugares de la antigua Corona de Aragón.

¿SANT JORDI O SAN JORGE?

Fue en la ciudad de Calatayud en 1461 donde, por orden de Juan II, se celebran las Cortes de Aragón que establecen la festividad del día de San Jorge el 23 de abril. Según consta en el diario de sesiones, será un día «inviolablemente, perpetua, guardada, observada y celebrada solemnemente» en todo el Reino de Aragón. Lo que incluye los territorios que de éste dependen, como Cataluña.

ESCUDO DE ARAGÓN

El escudo de Aragón, tal y como se conoce actualmente, se configuró en 1499. Está formado por cuatro emblemas o cuarteles: el Árbol de Sobrarbe, la Cruz de Íñigo Arista, la Cruz de Alcoraz y, por último, los cuatro palos gules de las barras de Aragón iguales entre sí. Una corona colocada en la parte superior del espacio que ocupan los cuatro emblemas mismos completa así la insignia del escudo de Aragón.

Las Barras de Aragón (cuarto cuartel) son un símbolo común a otras regiones como Cataluña, Baleares o Comunidad Valenciana.

PRÍNCIPE DE GERONA

El 21 de enero de 1351, Pedro IV creó el ducado de Gerona para afianzar la posición del heredero de la Corona aragonesa. Con las rentas de este ducado, se dotaba al recién nacido -su hijo Juan I- y automáticamente al príncipe heredero como garantía del estatus que le correspondía por nacimiento y lo situaba al frente de la jerarquía nobiliaria por encima de marqueses y condes.

DE CONDADO A SER PARTE DEL REINO

El matrimonio de Petronila, la hija del rey aragonés Ramiro II “el Monje”, con el duque Ramón Berenguer supuso la unión dinástica de los condados carolingios de Aragón, Sobrarbe y Ribagorza con la casa de Barcelona. De ahí fue cuando en 1035 se constituye el Reino de Aragón. Y en 1150 se termina convirtiendo en la Corona de Aragón.

ARAGONÉS

El termino aragonés siempre sirvió para designar a los naturales del Reino de Aragón o a los naturales de cualquiera de los reinos o principados comprendidos dentro de la Corona de Aragón. Incluido también a aquellos que vivían en el condado de Barcelona o en los Reinos de Valencia o Mallorca.

El término aragonés estuvo presente durante más de 300 años en todo el mar Mediterráneo. Por ejemplo, cuando se avistaba un navío con la señal de Aragón o los documentos de la época que servían de crónicas del reino.

NOMBRES REALES

Los nombres dinásticos característicos de la Casa de Aragón son Pedro -cinco reyes- y Alfonso -con otros cinco monarcas-. Ramiro II llamó Petronila (femenino de Pedro) a su hija y heredera, que se desposó con Ramón Berenguer (conde de Barcelona), de cuyo matrimonio nació el rey Alfonso II, en recuerdo de Alfonso I el Batallador.

Los reyes de Aragón no se llamaron Ramón, ni Berenguer, ni Pere, ni Jaume, ni nombres propios del Condado de Barcelona. Todos los nombres eran de origen aragonés.

By Sam Tabachnik

The Mexican delegation stood on the tarmac Friday afternoon near Denver International Airport, waiting under hazy skies for a forklift to deliver a wooden box, the contents of which archaeologists have been searching for nearly two decades.

Inside that box — 95 inches tall, 46 inches wide, emblazoned with the Mexican flag — sat a 2,000-pound, elaborately carved stone from the ancient Olmec civilization, a precursor to the Mayans who thrived more than 2,500 years ago near the Gulf of Mexico.

The prized relic, known as Monument 9 or the Earth Monster, was carefully crafted between 800 and 400 B.C. out of volcanic rock, archaeologists believe. Its wide mouth represents the door to the underworld.

“This is one of the pieces we have been looking for for the longest time,” said Jorge Islas, Mexico’s consul general in New York.

Authorities believe the stone artifact was stolen in the late 1950s or early 1960s from the central Mexican state of Morelos. It was exhibited in New York’s famed Metropolitan Museum of Art in the 1970s, and sometime after made its way into the hands of an unnamed private collector or collectors in Colorado.

Now the stone artifact — with an estimated $12 million value — is headed back to its ancestral homeland after authorities seized it Friday, part of a long-term investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office into stolen Olmec antiquities.

“This is testimony our nation is recovering our great patrimony,” Marcelo Ebrard Casaubon, Mexico’s foreign secretary, said during a news conference.

“A decisive civilization”

Monument 9 isn’t just any old Mexican antiquity.

The Olmecs were the earliest known major Mesoamerican civilization, dominating the tropical lowland of the modern-day Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco south of Mexico City.

Architecture from the Olmecs is quite advanced, said Mario Córdova, an archaeologist who accompanied the Mexican delegation to Denver. That’s why it’s so valued and desired.

“It was a decisive civilization,” Casaubon said.

The Earth Monster sports iconography of jaguars, revered as the most dangerous animal in Central and South America, as well as sacred mountains and indigenous plants.

Archaeologists don’t know how much was taken from the Chalcatzingo Archaeological Zone, but the looting was significant, Córdova said. Mexican authorities believe sometime in the late 1950s or early 1960s, looters broke Monument 9 into pieces and smuggled it into the United States.

The Met exhibited the work from July 1970 through February 1971 as part of its Before Cortes exhibition, a museum spokesperson said. The relic was on loan to the museum from the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, NY.

Córdova and other archaeologists spent the past 18 years looking for this significant piece of Mexican history. It’s not clear when, or how, the multimillion-dollar antiquity made its way into the hands of the Colorado collectors.

Authorities didn’t divulge these individuals’ identities on Friday.

“They got a settlement,” Islas told The Denver Post. “They’re super famous, super wealthy people.”

The Mexican government approached the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office with evidence that the artifact had been stolen and authorities located it this year, said Alejandro Celorio, principal legal advisor for Mexico’s foreign ministry.

Douglas Cohen, a spokesperson for the Manhattan DA’s office, said Friday’s seizure came as part of a long-term investigation into stolen Olmec antiquities. The office sports an antiquities trafficking unit that spearheads some of the country’s largest art-crime investigations. In recent months, the team returned stolen artifacts to Iraq, China and Yemen, among other countries.

Recovering lost heritage

The Mexican government in recent years has prioritized cultural property repatriation efforts, scouring the globe for artifacts it believes to have been looted.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador even launched a campaign under the hashtag #MiPatrimonioNoSeVende (“My heritage is not for sale”).

In March, authorities in France, Italy and Germany returned 86 cultural objects to Mexico. The Netherlands in December, meanwhile, returned 223 objects to the Latin American nation.

The country’s efforts come as the global south has increasingly pressed for the return of its heritage after decades of plundering and colonial rule. Museums and private collectors have faced increasing pressure — and attention from law enforcement — over the provenance of antiquities.

Córdova could hardly contain his glee as he stood on the tarmac at the private aviation terminal next to Denver’s airport.

In minutes, the archeologist would accompany the enormous wooden box on a military plane, headed for Mexico. Monument 9 by next week will be displayed at the Palace of Cortés, the famous conquistador’s former residence in Cuernavaca.

“I didn’t believe this was possible,” Córdova said in Spanish through an interpreter. “I’m just so happy.”

Un permitido contra Clarín

Un fallo de la Corte contra Clarín es una noticia sorprendente. Una pequeñez que sólo sirve para lavarse la cara y muestra que la organización terrorista de Magnetto tiene como norma vejar a las víctimas. La Corte Suprema confirmó la condena al Grupo Clarín por difundir fotos de Ángeles Rawson sin vida Tras la demanda del padre de la adolescente, el máximo tribunal falló contra Arte Gráfico…

 A resistência pernambucana sempre foi um símbolo. E não apenas para quem nasce no estado. É referência em todo o Brasil. O Dia da Carta Magna, celebrado todo 6 de março, conta um pouco dessa história. Instituído pela Assembleia Legislativa de Pernambuco (Alepe) em 2017, o feriado estadual é sobre o marco histórico do estopim da Revolução de 1817, ou Revolução Pernambucana. Este foi um movimento pela Independência que acabou tornando Pernambuco uma nação por 75 dias. Sim, o nosso estado já foi um país! A então capitania se revoltou e rompeu os laços com o governo da família real portuguesa. O projeto dos revolucionários era completo e garantia que o país tivesse liberdade religiosa, de pensamento, de imprensa, mais transparência no governo e até uma bandeira, que é a que usamos hoje. Entre os líderes do movimento, nomes como Domingos José Martins, Frei Caneca, Padre Roma, Vigário Tenório, Antônio Carlos de Andrada e Silva e Domingos Teotônio Jorge. A Corte Portuguesa descobriu e sufocou a revolução. 🏰 A cidade do Recife foi cercada por terra e mar, resultando na prisão e morte de alguns dos líderes do movimento. Cinco anos mais tarde a independência do Brasil foi proclamada, mostrando a força do movimento para o país. Viva a resistência pernambucana!

Hernán Gómez “descubre” que apoya al autoritarismo

Hernán, obradorista que cree seguir siendo “izquierdista”, porrista con “escrúpulos” que se presenta y cobra como “analista”, doctorado sin doctor, comentócrata que no se siente comentócrata, “hombre público” (grillo mediático en formatos tradicional y digital) que besa en público postes por amor a candidatas del partido en el poder pero que jura estar luchando seriamente contra El Poder desde la ética y la razón, el famoso hermano de un famoso menos perjudicial que él, Hernán Gómez Bruera, hizo otro gran “descubrimiento”, que la reforma judicial que quiere su querido AMLO no es ni prodemocrática ni científica:

Aclaro: el tuit lo tomé de un chat; yo no sigo a Hernán, bajo ninguna circunstancia y de ninguna manera tuitera; el doctor Gómez Bruera es para mí un ejemplar de las plagas que pesan sobre la opinión pública mexicana.

Por qué no respeto su tuit? Porque es hipócrita. Porque no es honesto: es una pose, una vacuna que se pone por apariencias, representa un cálculo actual producto de cálculos pasados: ahora teme ya que se apruebe el llamado plan C de AMLO y que se le critique como corresponsable de las muy probables consecuencias nefastas de esa aprobación, de un plan que él apoyó como Jorge Zepeda Patterson, Viri Ríos y Carlos Pérez Ricart. Zepeda sigue defendiendo el proyecto de reforma obradorista, la doctora Ríos intenta defenderlo desde el análisis fingido y descalificando a críticos como los del IIJ-UNAM, y Pérez Ricart y Gómez Bruera buscan desmarcarse, no quedar asociados a esa reforma regresiva e injustificable.

Pero si quieren desmarcarse de una pésima reforma, cuál es el problema?, seguirá preguntándose alguien. Que la “propuesta” (orden, instrucción, exigencia presidencial) de reforma al poder Judicial no se presentó este mes sino en febrero y no es de una esencia diferente a la de otras propuestas y decisiones de AMLO sino que viene de ellas, de su pasado, del autoritarismo. El doctor Gómez, no había leído el plan de López Obrador? Lo leyó hasta hace unos días? Le tomó casi cinco meses entenderlo? Si lo leyó antes y lo entendió, por qué no dijo nada? Por qué se calló durante la campaña electoral? Porque, recuerdo, su candidata Sheinbaum hizo campaña con ese plan del presidente. Y él, Hernán, la apoyó. No sabía qué estaba apoyando?

La reforma judicial de AMLO es el proyecto de la subordinación judicial al Ejecutivo, de la venganza de AMLO contra jueces y ministros de la Suprema Corte por no apoyarlo en todo, de cancelar la división de poderes con el pretexto de la democracia verdadera del Señor, y todo eso es lo que el hipócrita Gómez Bruera ha apoyado todos estos años al apoyar a López Obrador, todo el tiempo que AMLO ha deslegitimado con mentiras y exageraciones a todo el poder Judicial. Insisto: años, muchos años lleva el presidente en el intento que desemboca en la inminente reforma judicial pseudodemocrática y antidemocrática presentada hace meses, pero esta semana Hernán tuitea “seriamente” e “independientemente” para decir que no está de acuerdo… Hipócrita. Farsante. Mediocre con eficacia mediática engañabobos. Con mucho de cínico.

Porque es cínico también un tuit como ése sobre algo que, insisto, tiene cola de años, que se presenta al inicio de 2024, que fue bandera electoral, pero que sólo hace unos días “rechaza” porque es “pernicioso” para el proyecto en el que cree Gómez Bruera. “Sorpresivo” giro de la historia: el proyecto en el que cree es autoritario. Siempre lo ha sido. Siempre lo defendió. Hernán es idiota que apenas, muy recientemente, está recuperando la razón, o es un cobarde que se niega a asumir toda su responsabilidad -o su parte de culpa- en la desgracia judicial casi segura.

(...) Un día, en la Universidad de San Marcos, donde estudiaba, Sebastián Salazar Bondy me preguntó no sé por qué razón si escribía poesía. Le respondí que sí, que tenía algunos textos. Sebastián interesado me dijo: «¿Me los puede enseñar?». Fue muy curioso que me hablara de usted, porque era apenas un par de años mayor que yo. Le respondí que sí y al otro día le llevé un poema. Luego de leerlo me habló de un poeta que nunca había escuchado, un uruguayo llamado Julio Herrera y Reissig, de corte modernista. Me dijo que tenía mucha influencia de Herrera. Pero yo en mi vida lo había leído. Alberto Escobar recuerda a Salazar Bondy como un gran promotor cultural.

Sebastián, sobre todo, me hizo un gran favor: me enseñó a leer poesía. Me acercó mucho, en primer lugar, a la poesía de Moro, Adán y Westphalen. Al mismo tiempo, gracias a él, entablé amistad con Jorge Eduardo Eielson y Javier Sologuren. Juntos conformaríamos un grupo dentro de lo que se denominaría Generación del 50, que es una generación muy amplia donde hay muy buenos poetas. Al grupo que conformaba la crítica lo tildó de poetas puristas, lo que me parece una tontería, porque la poesía es una sola. De la misma forma respondo cuando me preguntan si hay poesía femenina: «La poesía es una sola, la buena, la que funciona». También, gracias a Sebastián, leí a Rimbaud, Lautréamont y Breton. Fue en esa época que mi gusto poético se empezó a formar.
