18 - 24 de Diciembre, 2015 © El Popular I 7A www.elpopularnews.com Jorge Ramos El país de las Tertulias Solo los viernes se puede subir al se- gundo piso, detrás del altar, a tocar el Cristo de larga cabellera en la Basílica de Jesús de Medinaceli en Madrid. Hay largas colas para entrar. Pero la espera sirve para discutir, entre ami- gos y desconocidos, desde el último partido de fútbol hasta las elecciones para escoger presidente del gobierno el próximo 20 de diciembre. Una hora de fila fue, para mí, una lección en el arte de discutir. Al entrar a la iglesia lo primero que ven los feligreses es un puesto de loter- ía para el premio gordo de Navidad. Ahí continúa la discusión. Si no se cumplen las plegarias al cielo, siempre hay con un poquito de suerte y un bil- lete de lotería una segunda oportuni- dad. Pero más que de santos, lo que me interesa es hablar del poder salvador de la conversación. España es el país de las tertulias y, gracias a eso, man- tiene su carácter democrático. El me- jor antídoto para a los autoritarismos, y para los adictos al celular, es la conv- ersación viéndose a los ojos. Los españoles discuten y discuten y no pasa nada. Eso es buenísimo. No se matan ni se caen a golpes. Solo discu- ten. A veces coinciden, otras no. Pero desde niños han aprendido la impor- tancia de argumentar y de ser toleran- tes. Está en su forma de ser. En los últimos dos meses viajando entre Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla y Granada he escuchado tertulias de todo tipo en la radio y la televisión; desde cotilleos de la prensa rosa hasta la mejor manera de prevenir ataques terroristas de ISIS en Europa. No hay tema prohibido. Bueno, quizás los reyes y esos pactos no escritos de al- gunos medios de comunicación con el poder. Pero en general las discusiones que escuché fueron bastante libres y espontáneas. Hasta el casi imposible asunto de la independencia de Cataluña es dis- cutible. No hay tanques en las Ramb- las pero sí mucha política. Y está bien. Para eso sirven los políticos: para en- contrar soluciones a problemas que no parecen tener solución. ¿Hay acaso un problema más difícil que cuando al- guien se quiere ir de casa? En España la tertulia se ha conver- tido, también, en la manera preferen- cial para escoger a sus líderes políticos. Por eso llama la atención la negativa del presidente del gobierno español a participar en los debates televisivos. Mariano Rajoy se rajó de los debates. ¿Por qué? Por miedo a verse mal ante los tres candidatos opositores Pedro Sánchez del PSO, Albert Rivera de Ci- udadanos y Pablo Iglesias de Podem- os. Los tres son más jóvenes que Rajoy y mucho más diestros en la esgrima verbal. En cualquier otro país, sería prácti- camente descalificado de la contienda el candidato que se negara a participar en un debate. Pero en el peculiar caso de Rajoy, a quien nadie le recuerda un buen discurso o entrevista, quizás su estrategia antitertuliana funcione. Ya veremos el 20 de diciembre. Hay muchas cosas buenas que pu- edo decir de la marca España: se come maravillosamente bien (como en México, Perú, Italia, Singapur y China) y se toman muy en serio la hora de la comida; adoro su jamón serrano, su aceite de oliva, sus carabineros, el ar- roz de Casa Benigna y las alcachofas de Lago de Sanabria; aquí juegan los mejores equipos de futbol del mundo (Barca y Real Madrid); un país de 46 millones de habitantes con 60 millones de turistas extranjeros al año debe ten- er muchos imanes; su estilo de vida ha permitido a los españoles celebrar muchos cumpleaños más de 82 en promedio y ser de los más longevos del planeta; hay pocos sitios como España donde los jóvenes pueden salir con se- guridad (pregúntenle a mi hija Paola, quien pasó en Madrid su infancia y adolescencia); a pesar del desempleo, inseguridad laboral y corrupción, hay un consenso en mantener las redes de protección social; y ejemplarizante para mí y el tema de esta columna es esa maravillosa disposición a platicar. Los españoles han aprendido bien de su historia. En cada tertulia parecen reafirmar esa decisión plural de recha- zar los abusos del franquismo y de cu- alquier imposición. Pocos pueblos han pasado en solo unas generaciones de una férrea dictadura a una democra- cia tan saludable. Y mi teoría es que lo hicieron discutiendo. Todo. Hay, desde luego, muchas cosas que no funcionan en España. Sin embar- go, están perfeccionando el método para encontrar soluciones colectivas. Muchos españoles, desde luego, no estarán de acuerdo conmigo. Pero eso es precisamente lo que espero de ellos (incluso en la fila entrando a la iglesia).

Fondos federales CDBG en la cantidad de $416,981han sido alocados para la implementación de este projecto y se utilizan en conjunto con otras subvenciones y otras fuentes economicas locales. Como propuesto, el sitio puede consistir del desarrollo de un area de 13,200 pies cuadrados del parque DiGiorgio (16.3 acres en total) con el parque de patinaje, plaza para bicicletas y mejoras relacionadas. El parquet DiGiorgio se encuentra en las llanuras de inundación de cien años y han sido designadas zona AO (Oportunidad anual del 1% de riesgo de inundación) por el mapa de tasa de Seguros Federal (FIRM) mapa de panel No. 06029C2775E, fechado 26 de Septiembre, 2008. La llanura de inundación adjunta esta sujeta a inundaciones a una profundidad de 1 pie con velocidad de 2 pies por secundo. Se prevé que la instalación de mejoras dentro del parque tendra un efecto de usos positivos del sitio para la retención de agua mediante la reducción de capacidad y la capacidad del sitio para retener y absorber agua. El total del area afectada incluye el sitio del projecto propuesto, el parquet Di Giorgio y sus vecindades inmediatas. Hay tres propositos primarios sobre este aviso. Primero, para avisar a toda persona que pueda ser afectada por las acciones en los llanos de inundación y para aquellos que tengan interes en la protección del ambiente natural y proveer la oportunidad de expresar sus preocupaciones y poder proveer información sobre esta área. Se anima a los comentaristas a que ofrescan otros sitios fuera de los llanos de inundación, métodos alternos para servir el mismo propósito del project, métodos para minimizer y mitigar los impactos. Segundo, un programa adecudado de notificación pública puede ser una herramienta educacional publica muy importante. La diseminación de información y la solicitud de comentarios públicos sobre los llanos de inundación pueden facilitar y mejorar los esfuerzos federales para la reducción de riesgos e impactos asociados con la ocupación y modificación de estas areas en especial. Tercero, como cuestión de justicia, cuando el govierno Federal detemina que va a participar en las acciones tomando lugar en los llanos de inundación, tiene que informar a aquellos pueden ponerse en mayor o riesgo continuo. Comentarios por escrito tienen que ser recibidos por la Entidad Responsable a la siguiente dirección en o antes del 4 de Enero, 2016. Cualquier comentario por escrito debe mandarse a la atención de James Golden, Planificador III, Departamento de Planificación y Desarrollo Comunitario del Condado de Kern, 2700 M Street, Suite 250, Bakersfield, CA 93301 y/o ponerse en contacto con el planificador con comentarios o preguntas al (661)862-5130.
