"It is not difficult to combat poverty, the inequality"
Lola Huete Machado Medellin 29 ABR 2014 - 18:40 CET
To get Anibal Gaviria ( Medellín, 1966) twelve-story building mayor have to climb in the heart of the capital of Antioquia, in the region of La Alpujarra, and cross what is called " the hall of pride," where hang all boards and for having on the overall success of this city: the most innovative , the most educated , who has managed to escape the embrace of violence, seeking social change through urban transformation , which has crept among the three preferred to live at home ( according to the latest poll by the newspaper El Tiempo) ... the city of which he is mayor since 2012.
And there, in a room terraced - over forest motley buildings that hang over the hills into the valley of the river Medellin Mayor inadvertently mentions what drives him in his task (which led him to devote himself to politics ) : the memory of his brother , Guillermo Gaviria Correa, former governor of Antioquia , was kidnapped and killed by the FARC . It happened first in 2002 while walking in peace march . And second , back in April 2003 - anniversary - is now just a camp Urrao a bad day the helicopters which were former President Uribe Hollywood rescue unhappy ending : the guerrillas eventually run it . "Violence " , tell the mayor to remember , "is an attack on the intelligence."
Several times , this public servant, Liberal Party paisa pure , soft-spoken and Italian-looking quotes and refers to initiatives launched his brother and now he continues to be , that engine , " a moral debt." As the program is now at hand and spoils : Good Start , calls . A plan to enroll the smallest among the needy ; a dozen children's centers raised by the Urban Development Corporation ( EDU ) with good architectural bill, which provide food and education to the cry of "the most worthy for the poorest ." A project born from one another called Manna that his brother ( " obsessed with children " ) launched before the violence will delete it as so many in this city, seemingly quiet today but that still insecurity is subject : abound calls " invisible borders " , the territories of bands microextorsión pots and theft ... A brutal underground world full of monsters that engulf any peace initiative , although the number of murders is far from that of those terrible nineties , during the reign of Pablo Escobar. A picture just for comparison: go to his grave today morbid tourists photographing and Latin America with a crazy soap opera about his life and work entitled The pattern of evil.
Medellin Mayor Anibal Gaviria , teaches you the city from atop the former alderman of New York, Michael Bloomberg / UN- Habitat
" Comprehensive care for early childhood ... " he says, between the smell of coffee and local sweets, Gaviria - member mayor and a number of councilors with social pedigree since Sergio Fajardo, governor of the department today , give in 2000 change stride . " Physical and spiritual food , both as necessary ." And such is the menu of the gardens Healthy Start . The first is not trivial : "10 years ago children died of malnutrition here . Today it not. " But candidates do not go missing. No wonder this city is still among the most unequal in Latin America, are full of poor homeless corners and undergoes annual dropping of thousands of displaced victims of the violence of war or the family itself . "We have lived and live difficult realities . This is a city that , like many in Latin America, fighting for respect life more and be more inclusive . But Medellin is not finished work , "he concludes .
No. And yet it looks: downtown skyscrapers and rich houses to El Poblado and Las Lomas by sliding down hills slums in squalid municipalities. Connected with metro, Bus , metro - cable though. " Transportation to unite and integrate ." One idea is that placed in the category of city social laboratory resilient city ( with office and especially for such a thing that just opened ) , able to overcome adversity . " But we still have much difficulty, many shortcomings ... " he says, before running his umpteenth speech or appearance on the seventh World Urban Forum of UN- Habitat , the most massive of the celebrated , a great success for him and city - to which we have witnessed , invited by the Agency for Cooperation and Investment of Medellin (ACI), with 20,000 people around the world to debate on " cities for Life" , precisely in this , so alive. " It is not hard to fight poverty," Gaviria judgment . Is inequality, the great beast .
