BOGOTA COLOMBIA). Saturday, March 5, 2022 (RPTV NEWS AGENCY). Despite the multiple proposals, this March 13 about 39 million Colombians will have the opportunity to choose a new Congress, where changes to the health system, highly criticized today, have been proposed.

“There are many obstacles, many procedures, delays in getting an appointment with a specialist,” said Andrea Rodríguez, a citizen.

A tense panorama that some, walking through the neighborhoods of Bogotá and with instructive didactic games, affirm can be changed.

“It has been pedagogical, formative, it has filled me with hope as we are reminding people that there are fundamental rights such as health, education,” said Olga Lucía Velásquez, a candidate for the House of Representatives for Bogotá for the Green Party. .

The popular ladder game, in addition to exposing recurring obstacles such as delays in procedures, explains the possible solution.

“If you are over 60 years old, you are in a chronic care program, if you need a specialized appointment you can have it close to your home, that is why our goal is a preventive health law that pays for health indicators. No more health as a business, yes to health as a right”, clarified Olga Lucía Velásquez, a candidate for the House of Representatives from Bogotá for the Green Party.

According to the Constitutional Court, health is one of the most demanded rights, only in 2019 there were 207,368 guardianships due to non-conformity in services.

The initiative of the Arhuacos, Wiwa, Kogui and Ette Ennaka peoples was addressed in an ordinary session of the District Cultural Heritage Council.

For the indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada, these statues do not represent the essence of the Caribbean culture and therefore of the country.

Pronouncements against were immediate, mainly from the history academy del Magdalena, who considered this action as an attack on the history and essence of the capital of Magdalena.

Álvaro Ospino Valiente, president of the Academy, surprised by what the indigenous people are proposing, indicated that “I assumed that since the habitat context of these communities has always been the territory of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and not the esplanade where the city ​​of Santa Marta did not feel affected”.

To address the issue, the historian cited a UK minister’s statement Boris Jhonson, who in a similar debate, stated at the time that “we cannot try, edit or censor our past. We cannot pretend to have a different story. The statues in our cities and towns were erected by previous generations. They had different perspectives, different interpretations of right and wrong. But those statues teach us about our past, with all its flaws.”

The historian’s point of view

That is our historical reality and we should not be ashamed of it

According to Ospina, it is impossible to ignore Rodrigo de Bastidas within the history of Santa Marta, and to do so would be a “stubbornness that is difficult to erase, as difficult as wanting to change his name, as wanting to tear down the Cathedral, because Catholicism was the instrument of subjugation.” Spanish”.

For the samarian historian, removing the monuments that highlight the colonial vision would be to allow the dismemberment of the history of the city.

“That is our historical reality and we should not be ashamed of it,” he says.

He also recalled that the main legacy inherited from the Spanish It is the language we currently use to communicate.

“If we want to renounce our Spanish component from that indigenous position, we should be ashamed and we should disappear it along with the statues of the founders of Latin American cities,” said the president of the Magdalena Academy of History.
