When he was given the Nobel Prize, wrote in these pages a note in which I simply speak of his early works, the dearest to me and you have earned the glory. I did not get the criticism, which seemed forced, the writer's positions on Israel, so different from those of former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo, one of the first signatories of the initiative Friends of Israel, created by José María Aznar. Now I do, because the issue is linked to the elections in Peru and the public support given by Vargas Llosa Ollanta Humala in the second round of voting.
is true that they have been only two candidates, Humala and Keiko Fujimori. Ago Jaime Bayly day, another liberal as liberal as Vargas Llosa, expressed support Keiko. No one can be guilty of "carrying a name", as stated in Buenos Aires, but that the girl with her father-loss is the only word I can think of-a kind of relationship that has Carmen Martínez Bordiú with his late grandfather, but is very close to her father.
But that's enough to choose the other? Ollanta Humala, who is said to be closer to Lula lately that Chavez, whatever it is what is meant by that, he has been a model example of arrears, and the only that was really close at the time, with the Indian question was Evo Morales, but his speech has always been much more sharply than the Bolivian racist, which is saying.
Alejandro Toledo was a candidate in the first round of these elections, and no one gave him support. Toledo was a mediocre president, but certainly not a murderer like Fujimori, and an avowed racist like Humala. And is a man who, after leaving office, has continued to grow and advance in the ideological. Deserved more than any other public figures the support of real importance in the opinion, mostly because it would have been the second president in the region clearly determined not to compromise with the Arab and Iranian interests. The first was, to the surprise of many, Dilma Roussef, which it has clearly distanced himself from his predecessor. In this sense, Chávez and Lula were not different: they were ready for anything, as the club with their shirts Qatar or the Emirates Getafe, provided a paste out at any price. In addition, both Chavez and Lula profess little sympathy for Christianity and care a fig have as many mosques as slums, which are many in both cases.
Here, of course, is where it comes into play each position on Israel. Recognize the right of Israel to exist and to defend it, as my friend Carmen, a matter of decency. The Palestinian cause , as I'm tired of explaining in these pages ( here and here), and none other than the Arab cause, which faces a 1200 million Muslims about eight million Israelis. Vargas Llosa is sympathetic to the Palestinian cause . Toledo, quite the opposite. I would say that from the time they signed his name on Friends of Israel began to lose all possible choices. The idea of \u200b\u200bthis initiative is that if Israel falls, we all fall, ie, the West as a whole. Western notion, impossible. And the other candidates are Peruvian anti-imperialist, anti-Western. In this, both Humala and Fujimori.
no longer ask to Vargas Llosa and his reasons for such refusal to entertain Israel, has exhibited abundantly their articles, which are read worldwide and published here El Pais. But ask him to explain further why abundance has expressed so strongly their decision to vote for Humala. And, if possible, the way these two factors, the Palestinian cause and delays, are consistent with his liberal convictions.
can not ask anyone who is entirely consistent. President Woodrow Wilson , who with his Fourteen Points represented the most advanced position on the conditions that would end the Great War, is also the author of the following remarkable statement: "The white men were provoked by a mere instinct (...) survival until finally there arose a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the south, to protect the southern territory. " DW Griffith is quoted in The Birth of a Nation . But being at a time for independence and Serbia to sea condice over to the defense of civil rights for black Americans than otherwise. For
Moreover, Vargas Llosa's speech at the Feria del Libro de Buenos Aires was impeccable. Peronists were opposed to it was he who inaugurated the event, precisely because it is a liberal. The very President K had to tell them that they were not as beasts. After the speech, they all complained about their content. I should have appreciated her support for Humala.
