Letters from the editor: More proposals, Formosa, primary school
More proposals
With his characteristic creativity, last week Milei added new insults to Kicillof, such as "eunuch donkey," "Stalin's pigeon," "last czar of misery," and to his officials, such as "mental parasites" and "rats." Many of us who want Milei to do well believe it's unnecessary to downgrade the presidential authority by insulting Kicillof to disqualify him in view of the next provincial election. Because simply objectively detailing the state of the province, which he has governed since 2020, is enough to encourage voting for whoever makes superior proposals to combat poverty, insecurity, crime, drug trafficking, the decline in education, dismantled hospitals, and the scandalous tax burden. Therefore, we suggest the President direct fewer insults and more proposals to fix the disaster left in the province by 34 years of Peronist governments, including 12 under Kirchnerism.

Formosa
We can already see that the dinosaur from Formosa will not obey the Supreme Court's ruling and will remain in power in the best Venezuelan style. The remedy is federal intervention, for which the government lacks two-thirds of Congress. Conclusion: we have a disease with a cure, but we have doctors who promote malpractice.
In some countries or provinces, democracy only exists when dictators govern, and justice only exists when militant judges rule in favor of the dictators. We still have a long way to go before we ask ourselves what we want as a country, because this is no longer an institutional issue, but rather an idiosyncratic one.
The time elapsed since the May Revolution of 1810 has not been enough to mature.

Elementary school
In last Sunday's letter, reader Julio Bottino lists the hidden causes of corruption, and among them mentions children who must drop out of school to go to work. Therein lies the true Argentine tragedy: education, the decline in the standard of primary school. My father, born in 1912, had to drop out of school in the fourth grade and go to work, but the little he did complete is reflected in his English handwriting, beautiful lowercase and uppercase letters (now they write in block capitals until the fourth grade), not a single spelling mistake, and sufficient knowledge of mathematics to become a successful businessman. My mother taught me to read at age five with the book Upa, and she had only finished sixth grade. Primary schooling here is failing; it's a true educational tragedy, as Jaim Etcheverry pointed out many years ago. Primary school teachers can't solve the problems in the Berruti Admission Manual, which we used in sixth grade to access secondary school. I believe the true renewal of the school is to return to the Sarmiento teachers who graduated from the National Normal School.

IOSFA is the acronym for the Armed Forces' Social Welfare Fund (FFAA), which successive governments stripped of its natural management (it had always been in the hands of its members) and handed over to the membership as a source of employment and salaries. It never improved and has gone from bad to worse. Currently, members and their families are left with almost no benefits or coverage. IOSFA is slowly heading toward a collapse that must be avoided. Recently, by order of the current government, a third administration has begun. It is desirable that this one be successful, that it conduct an audit to determine responsibilities and incompetence, that it adopt measures to clean up its finances, that it proceed with internal recruitment, as it includes highly trained personnel who have been unable to properly deploy their skills due to having been relegated from decision-making positions, and finally, that it return the leadership and management of its own social welfare fund to our Armed Forces. Justice will be done.

Lalo Schifrin
On the occasion of the death of the brilliant composer and pianist Lalo Schifrin, I want to address an event that involved him. The maestro studied at the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires, and in 2001 the Alumni Association awarded him the Merit Award, as it customarily does with outstanding alumni. One of the many he received throughout his long career. Maestro Schifrin was unable to attend the ceremony in the school's packed auditorium, but he sent a letter, which was read, in which he shared anecdotes from his youth and the feelings they stirred in him. In one of its paragraphs, he states: "But what is undeniable is that the school prepared me for my studies at the Paris Conservatory of Music; moreover, the school prepared me for life. There are no words to express my gratitude and appreciation." Nik, the nation's brilliant cartoonist and former student, referred to Schifrin that day, upon receiving the same award for his career, and made us laugh when he said: "I think the teacher really anticipated my humor and composed this true anthem that reflects what it's like to govern in Argentina, which I believe inspired him when he composed Mission: Impossible."
Both represent the best of our culture, a pride we should treasure, and on a personal level, the satisfaction of sharing the same classrooms at different times.

Cristina Kirchner celebrated the results in Formosa and Rosario
"How indecent to celebrate the victory of a tyrant and dictator like the governor of Formosa. This is how we are, and it's all a product of Justicialism." - Patricia Medina
"Cristina's approval of a government like Insfrán's speaks very poorly of her. We all know what's happening in Formosa. Don't take us for fools." - Daniel Gando
"Excellent result for Peronism. A disgrace for the people of Formosa." - Marcelo Monreal
