think and talk about Venezuela, is to talk about corruption. It is the day our daily bread. Not a single social stratum who did not comment and the media also echoed the same theme. They are frightening and data reports on corruption in our country. , the phenomenon is so overwhelming that we are running at an alarming rate, "are robbing the country and we are all Venezuelans" in belly of the beast. "
The most read opinion columnists of both national and regional newspapers, have become blinkered about corruption and understandably so. In one of my articles published on the problem of corruption in Venezuela, in my usual direct style of calling things stipulates: "I suspect more and more strongly that corruption is sucked into this country, especially given the scandals of the last days."
And I'm saying it same, but taking a term applied to cancer medicine: Corruption in Venezuela metastasized. The scourge is eating not only the moral fabric, weaving political and social fabric, tissue and organs of justice, the fabric and parliamentary bodies, tissue and organs of public administration, tissue and organs many universities and other sectors of society, is also eating away the fabric of rationality and logic and even the fabric of common sense.
As José de Souza would Saramago, Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998 in his "Essay on Blindness, we're running blind. But contrary to what some may think, what the writer Rafael Lomeli raises Varo in his book" Power and Corruption: A social phenomenon with metastasis, " must not find its origins only in totalitarian regimes or democratic, capitalist or communist, ultra right-wing or ultra-leftists, since its genesis seems to hide in the darkness of the human condition, stinks of greed and lust for power.
One of the most striking passages of the film "The Silence of the Lambs" is when the cannibal Hannibal Lecter gives the detective trainee Clarice Starling the key concept to solve the kidnapping of the daughter of a senator: "The greed and lust for power are the feelings that lead to irrationality."
corruption cancer blinds us to the point of losing sight of common sense and get to talk about the "right" of corrupt officials to appropriate public funds, provided they run under the crumbs they leave, some work to serve the community. The trouble, according to this belief is "do not steal", but it is permissible and even necessary to "rob and do."
Often encountering ordinary people throwing terms like this: "What kind so useless that, he managed billions of Bs as a public servant, and came as poor as you come."
In Venezuela, it is normal that the public official robe, the abnormal and questionable is that it comes out clean. It is the culture of corruption that landed as incurable cancer, in the collective unconscious, and remained there. Hence the difficulty of eradication. Hopefully the wake driven by the incessant hammering of an opinion journalism increasingly courageous and committed to truth, justice and decency, be the impetus for those who are obliged to apply the chemotherapy needed to do the worst Cancer of Venezuelan society: the white-collar criminals.
