News:Football - Copa América-Football and politics mix Argentina

 

Saturday night, Argentina faces Uruguay in the quarterfinals of the Copa America. The Albiceleste has no room for error. For various reasons, and because part of the local political class needs a victory in the Seleccion of this election year.

Imagine a country where the government suddenly decided to buy the TV rights of football for each first division match to be broadcast free on national TV. Imagine a country where the government decides to put their hands in their pockets to help the middle class to buy a low flat screen last generation, and this, so that the Copa America landed in every home. Imagine a country where election campaigns are invited in the stadiums, where fans become extremists of any candidate. This country exists and is organizing the Copa America against the backdrop of provincial and national elections.

In Argentina, football and politics do mix. There are plethora of examples in the history of these relations explosive of these dangerous liaisons. The policy is invited in stages, and policies do not hesitate to pose next to a particular football star. From the moment of course that it is very popular.

 

Even before the Copa America begins, the tone was set. Anibal Fernandez, Chief of Staff of President Cristina Kirchner had said "on behalf of all Argentines" that could hold up the "demonstrations for Carlos Tevez, the player alias of the people, is selected in the Copa America ". His wish and that of all Argentines, has, fortunately for the public order, was granted.
A few days later, during the opening match of the competition between Argentina and Bolivia, the same Fernandez took place in the stadium of the city of La Plata. It must be said that this very influential man in Argentina is a candidate for Senator National Buenos Aires province. What is the capital of this province? La Plata, of course. But while he is comfortably settled in his forum, along with the governor of the province (Daniel Scioli), a huge banner is deployed in the stadium. It is inscribed in capital letters, the name "Francisco de Naravez," Scioli's main rival during the very next provincial election. It's pure and simple provocation. Of course, when the media and politicians have tried to find out where did this banner, they were not surprised that he was a leader of a "barra brava" who was behind it.
Barras bravas the arm armed
Again, the policy flirts with the football. And again, the bars bravas were in on it. For these groups of ultras supporters are often the armed wings of local or national politicians. They are political messages in the stands, but these big guys who are not afraid of castagne are also involved in security in their meetings or at events. Remember during the 2010 World Cup. A group of barras bravas, consisting of the mafia and Barjot of them, often "supporters" of clubs enemy had united for the occasion to support Argentina. In exchange for his good, violent and dedicated service, the fans had a mission: hang banners during the championship season (in various stages of the country) but also during the World Cup, in honor of President Kirchner (Cristina's husband , the current president, former president of Argentina). Admit it still had to do and think ...
The policy uses the football, but football can also allow a triumphal entry into politics. Mauricio Macri can speak for hours over a good piece of meat from Argentina and a good glass of wine from Mendoza. Macri was for twelve long years the president of Boca Juniors, the club's most popular countries. Under his leadership, the "Xeneixe" won six league titles, three Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana and 2, the holy of the holy: 2 Intercontinental Cups. In 2007, the height of this great track record, and therefore, the brilliant performance of his duties, Macri has decided to enter politics. His supporters, his constituents have never doubted his victory and his skills. "How could it be a bad policy when he ran the best club in the world?" They repeated. The inevitable happened and Macri was elected mayor of Buenos Aires. Needless to write that his record is not as "bright" than his years of football.
If Argentina wins ...
Saturday is also in this explosive context, that Argentina faces Uruguay. Just after the Copa America, 15 provinces will vote for their new governors and new assemblies and the four months before the battle of the chefs in the month of October, in fact, held presidential elections. The government has ensured that all Argentines take advantage of this Copa America, on TV or in stadiums. The competition takes place in eight cities and for once, Buenos Aires was not the better off, since the Monumental will support only the final on 24 July.
Imagine that Seleccion lose, it necessarily would not help matters of policy and I am ready to bet a few pesos that some of them then not hesitate to take a bitter attack on Sergio Batista and his men ... Now imagine that the Albiceleste win tonight and eventually win the Copa America. Policies are sure to get the win and will fight so many to be photographed and filmed with the heroes of the year ...
