And that fracture was already cooking in Colombian life, which in modern times, would be qualified as did the late historian, poet and Bolivarian convinced Juvenal Herrera Torres when he said "With Obando to head Santanderists in power begins a stormy nightmare whose blood is drowning us today "
And that tear in the Colombian soil was generated in the stock of political passions unleashed by the greed of people like Francisco de Paula Santander, the enemy of l Liberator Simón Bolívar.
The causes of the decline
In the message it will send the Liberator to the Convention of Ocaña, and he did not attend, "he said to the representatives:
" I enough to recall our history to discover the cause of our decadence. Colombia, who was able to give life, is lifeless. Cause identified before the public, not now estimates its duty as the only rule of health. The same as during the fight were content with their poverty, and although three million owed abroad, to keep the peace have had embarrassing debt load by its consequences. Colombia, which the hosts in front of oppressive, breathing only honor and virtue, have as insensitive National disrepute. Colombia, who thought of nothing but painful sacrifices in eminent services, deals with their rights and their duties. The nation would have perished if a remnant of public spirit would not compelled to claim the remedy and stopped at the edge of the grave. Only a horrible danger we would attempt the alteration of the fundamental laws, only this danger would have been higher than the passion that professed to own legitimate institutions, whose foundations we have procured the desired emancipation. "
The foregoing paragraph book records the Simón Bolívar Doctrine of the Liberator ", a compilation of the historian Manuel Pérez Vila, with a foreword by Augusto Mijares, third edition with corrections, updates and additions of new texts that made Ayacucho Library Foundation in 2009.
Back to the quoted text says the Liberator "Nothing would add to the fatal draft, if the position I occupy not force me to realize the nation of the drawbacks of its laws. I know I can not do without exposing a sinister interpretation, and that through my words will be read ambitious thoughts: again, I have not refused to Colombia devote my life and my reputation, I have to conceptualize this sacrifice. "
must all work for the good of the Union invaluable
Then the American hero is shown bound in his message:
"I must say this: our government is essentially ill-formed. Regardless of just throwing the yoke, let us be blinded by ambition higher than the history of all ages manifestly incompatible with human nature. "
Caracas The warrior felt and suffered the distortion that existed in society reeling Gran Colombia and became known far beyond the intrigues and divisions between military, civilian and the most disadvantaged and, in fact, as last message to the Colombian citizenship makes clear that "All must work for the inestimable good of the Union: the people obeying the present government to get rid of anarchy, the ministers of the sanctuary directing their prayers to heaven, and the military using his sword to defend social guarantees. "
is for other necessary and for a better understanding of the realities to publicize the text of the researchers of history, in fact, to pertinentes.blogspot.com and therefore always present the views of those investigating , as is the case of Russian historian Anatoli Shulgovski (Bolivar, Quixote of America, an anthology of essays by Juvenal Herrera Torres, Publishing Dog and Frog) whose essay refers to Santander and let readers view understand where bent it, despite posing as a friend of the Liberator.
Santander: U.S. policy adept
"General Santander and his supporters saw his political ideal state institutions of the United States, coming in with the ideology of American federalism. It was no coincidence that Santander and his circle had been transformed into the most fervent supporters of the policy of the American ruling circles, which tried to prevent at any cost the implementation of the Bolivarian revolutionary project. All this was covered up with arguments about the aspiration to transform the emerging Latin American states in a bulwark of democracy and freedom under the aegis U.S.. In ruling in the Colombian parliament in favor of close cooperation with the United States, Francisco de Paula Santander said (2.I.1825): "Colombia will have the laudable pride in being the first state in the former English America joined with most favored nation of the genius of liberty "(Quoted by: Francisco Pividal. Bolívar, Thought precursor of anti-imperialism. La Habana, 1977, p.198). Even later, after the death of Bolivar, Santander at the time of his stay in America, called the Colombians as "brothers", expressing the hope that they become "worthy disciples to be grateful to providence for having found the site of our joy in the same American continent. "(Letters and messages of Santander. Vol III., p. 189).
What history records in the past to explain in the future now, today, and tomorrow, to what has been happening in a country like Colombia and the leadership it has had and has.
What a tragedy of Colombia !
The late Colombian historian, poet and committed Bolivar, Juvenal Herrera Torres, in his essay The orgy of beasts, wrote:
What a tragedy of Colombia! The Liberator's death led to the orgy of beasts they put into the presidency the murderer Obando (José María). In their insane hatred of Bolivar, the beasts repudiated the name of Colombia. They were always enemies of the homeland from which he hated his name had been given by the Liberator, and sentencing him to the country of New Granada, which was the one who had imposed the King of Spain to its colony in our territory. With Obando to head Santanderists in power begins a stormy nightmare whose blood is drowning us today. "
No further words to understand the great damage, sometimes, often leave some legacies, like the Colombians received without asking.
