A State that depends on donations to provide food and supplies to thousands of children.
It makes a bit of noise that the fact that the food for the boys in schools has to be bought with donations comes to the fore. It is also striking that the notebook, the pencil and the little book that the children receive each year arrive because some generous overseas donors put money to make it happen. And it is overwhelming to imagine that if the roof of a school does not fall on top of students and teachers, it is because it could be fixed with money that was given to the Paraguayan State from abroad.
Let’s make one point clear: every donation, once accepted, must be appreciated and, above all, put to good use. But what a scene! A government that depends on donations to ensure food and school supplies in areas of high social vulnerability should fill us with shame. It starkly exposes the systematic violation of the orders of priority in the fulfillment of the basic duties of the State. It makes it clear that the privileged caste, plugged into the general budget with generous stipends, has no intention of giving up its first-world status even at the cost of condemning thousands of children to continue in the prostration caused by poor nutrition and deprivation of basic instruction.
The politicians of the brave Creole have lost their compass. They have turned the State into a great leviathan on the back of which they navigate at full speed consuming resources for their own benefit. In the coming days, this brotherhood of gargantuans and gargantuans will see the Christmas bonuses, bonuses, extra payments and salary supplements that they have been able to assign to themselves throughout their screwing to public office fall into their collection cards, turning all of them into an “acquired right”. those privileges. How is he going to have enough money to buy food, notebooks and pencils for schoolchildren if the largest portion of the taxpayer money is taken away by the salaries of an elite of permanently hungry bureaucrats?
If there is a reserve of good sense and, above all, decency among politicians, they should agree to a true reform of the State. But not on the surface, but on the bottom. They should reconsider the order of priorities and commit to making the principle that basic school education comes first and must be covered in all its variables. If they don’t understand that and change their attitude, the State will continue to be an eternal snack for blacks.
And schoolchildren will continue to depend on handouts to eat and study.
