Neither in the calculation of the most optimistic nor in that of the most pessimistic and / or doomsayers did the extraordinary citizen response fit the afternoon-night Friday at the foot of Christ the Redeemer. On all four sides, there was barely room for a pin in the emblematic place where the Cabildo was held to demand that the Government carry out the Census in 2023 and not a year later due to reasonable doubts that aroused the lack of seriousness, suitability and transparency of organizers and those responsible. of carrying out the postponed national survey without sufficient technical support and under a ‘consensus’ that raises more doubts than certainties.
The crowd gathered exceeded that of previous calls, despite some attempts to interfere and/or disturb the presence of the neighbors. Like an ‘anti-council’ march of supporters of masismo and that was suspended without further explanation. Or the blockade of some accesses to the city to make it difficult to arrive at the appointment. Against the open maneuver the determination and strength of spirit of citizens was stronger. That they are not willing for incompetents and professional charlatans to try to tease them by making a scourer of a serious and decisive activity for the national interest and well-being such as the Census. Nor is it because from the other shore, radical or thoughtless positions contaminate the essence of a spontaneous and legitimate citizen demand around a census process distorted by a State that seems incapable of guaranteeing its normal development.
