Stoessel for President

Yes I was one of the hundreds of thousands of parents that stood in line multiple hours on an early morning in order to conquer my fair share of tickets for The Violetta Tour, no less than 5 months in advance.  Anything for my little girl at home where she has mounted a wall and stuffed shelves and drawers in devotion to Ms Martina Stoessel, age 17, singer and actress (and student I trust). 

The way I see it, if Disney driven entertainment is unavoidable at this age, it might as well impulse some sing-along rhythm in a latino language, away from the usual US or Japanese produce.

I always have had a childish weakness for South-America, despite or perhaps thanks to its dos pasos adelante um paso atrás progress and Argentina is then certainly a consistent place of passionate potential.  It is bothersome, to say the least, to see what once was one of the world's most developed and fashionable countries, to arrive into such a constant struggle for a balance between modern economics and populist movements, but generally always dependent on the egos of leading politicians who consciously or not restrain a nation from voiding its geographic distance with the rest of the world. 

The most recent suspicions on Cristina Fernandez, wife of the former president, surrounding the murder of a state prosecutor in turn linked to a terrorist attack 20 years ago, along with all the plausible cover-ups promise to come to have all the soap opera ingredients for yet another major paso atrás.

So while back in the old world, Europeans see rising mixes of emotions towards the potential contagency of pop-politicians shaking up the establishment, from anything between the way they dress to the way a country and its population should be financed, I wonder if there is room for the rebellion to reach overseas territories where generally younger populations (no reference to rabbit behaviour) are in a higher need for a break through.

I think the time is right for some Violetta-ism to overrule the decades of Peronism, Menemism and Kirchnirsm and propose the presidential candidacy of Martina Stoessel to bring Argentina back to the place it once held on the world stage, before the word recession in today's meaning struck the planet.

That would also be a much prettier sight than on some wrecking ball in the near future and would thus also make my daughter and all here friends, as well as the Sumo Pontífice, much happier.  Everybody wins.
