A little respect on the death of a former president

I end up taking the census and just sit in front of me the computer to check email and social networking at about 10 am, I learned of the passing of Nestor. I still do not go to the amazement of his untimely death, a very active and involved in matters of the country and the region. Surely the political and social scene and not be beaten.

It seems important to clarify that I always tried to maintain a critical distance from government and its policies, not to enter the zero-sum game and to oppose for the sake of doing so. No doubt his style and politics has left an imprint on the history of our country.

But I would point out are some of the different reactions of society that I have seen at this news. I could identify four reactions, two are acceptable, the other, negligible. The first is represented mainly by followers of his ideas and policies which manifests a deep pain, shock and sadness at the loss of their leader. Then there are those sectors shown with respect to the loss of a former constitutional president beyond communion or not some of his political views, personally I enlisted in this space.

with great fear, however there are two sectors that outlines expressions of "clamor for his death" , and finally to those who made a religious speculations as "punishment of God" or something similar . The two I think are reprehensible, because, first of all has been a human. The loss of life in general is a call for reflection on the value and fragility of it. Celebrating death as something longed for and desired, shows the high degree of dehumanization and lack of sensitivity in this particular case.

Finally, for distances beyond the policies that may be is a moment of respect, which involves a sense of solidarity and civic engagement with the institutional investment that coated and ex-President's Office, as Deputy Secretary of UNASUR and PJ.
