Panamá Liberal?

Alguns liberais festejaram a vitória do novo presidente panamenho o suposto "Liberal Classico" Ricardo Martinelli.
Olhando suas propostas em seu website pude verificar que de liberal elas não tem nada, ia eu mesmo elencar aqui algumas destas propostas deste "liberal classico", mas, acabei achando um comentario na internet que me facilitou a vida:

"Ricardo Martinelli is a classical liberal?? I don't know about that.

I looked up his campaign website, and, while my Spanish isn't perfect, it looks like his campaign issues were:

* Creating a government job-training program
* Starting an "Enterprise Management Program," in which the government will "help" failing businesses stay afloat
* Funding industrial parks to develop pharmaceutics and computer chips (???)
* Sugar cain, palm oil, ethanol, and biodiesel subsidies
* Tourist industry subsidies
* Increasing government education funding
* Funding Internet access for all school students
* Starting a government scholarship program
* Taxing casinos to build more government schools
* Creating a Department of Higher Education, Science, and Technology
* Organizing sports leagues and building new sports facilities
* Curbing domestic violence and strengthening the family by implementing a government "family education program"
* Passing legislation that "eliminates discriminatory dispositions" such as xenophobia and racism
* Creating a Department of Indigenous Policy to teach farmer's agricultural methods, and to fund health, education, and "eco-tourism"
* Guaranteeing houses for all indigenous people, building communities that keep indigenous people "nucleated," and ensuring cement floors and indoor plumbing for all
* Mandating that businesses be "environmentally sustainable"
* Establishing a program within the Department of Farming and Forest Development to protect forests and plant new trees
* Establishing a "Sustainable Development" program to "ESTABLISH POLICIES, REGULATE, FACILITATE, AND CONTROL all matters concerning the atmosphere and the country's natural resources" (his website put those four phrases in all caps, not me)
* Granting the public prosecutor special authority and personnel in order to pursue "environmental justice"
* Providing pensioners with more medical attention and housing
* Building "Rest Centers for Older Adults" to give pensioners recreation and relaxation
* Funding a "system of massive public transport" ('massive' being his word, not mine, really!)
* Rationing the amount of cars that can travel on certain public roads in order to optimize traffic
* Making the "application of traffic fines severe" (his words, not mine!)
* Placing cameras on all traffic lights (seriously!!!)

My goodness! Some "classical liberal" this guy is! Where do you get your información, Don, seriously??!?"

Vejam por vocês mesmos no site dele, http://www.martinelli2009.com/web/index.php .

Esse tipo de liberal, o "liberal" pragmatico é o maior inimigo da liberdade.

Um comentário:

  1. Sim, liberais "pragmaticos" muitas vezes agem contra a liberdade, pois quando confrontados entre a opcao pela liberdade de um lado, e uma agenda pessoal anti-liberdade do outro, nao terao escrupulos em escolher a segunda, em nome do "pragmatismo".
