Telling lies about the history of Colombia is reprehensible. No family ties to the late Jorge Eliecer Gaitan may be invoked as an excuse to circumvent this requirement intellectual and moral. Quite the contrary. María Valencia Gaitán published on 9 April in a Bogota newspaper an article that refills a false legend which attributed to the government of President Mariano Ospina Pérez death of the liberal leader. Maria Valencia really should investigate what happened and what happened on April 9, 1948. As she seems to ignore many things. Young, sensitive, intelligent, capaz, ella podría investigar los verdaderos orígenes del 9 de abril, aceptar la verdad y romper, por fin, las cadenas ideológicas y psicológicas que fabricaron los asesinos de Jorge Eliécer Gaitán.
Pues el líder liberal fue asesinado dos veces. Cuando dispararon cobardemente contra él y unos días después cuando esos mismos conjurados lanzaron, en Bogotá y París, la especie de que el gobierno de Ospina Pérez y el “imperialismo norteamericano”, eran los culpables de ese atentado y de las violencias inauditas que Bogotá y el resto del país sufrieron. En su artículo, María Valencia Gaitán sugiere que los conservadores y Liberalism Gaitan, have ordered the attack, in a context of more violence that she describes in comprehensive act of unilateralism, as "genocide" that conservatives have committed "against gaitanistas." In other words, Ospina Pérez had decided to unleash the shock wave was about to topple their own government, which could have broken the institutions and abruptly dissolved the Ninth Pan American Conference. According to her, President Ospina Pérez would have preferred to burn the country and endanger its own life and that of delegates to the conference, including U.S. Secretary of State General George Marshall, then no had found another way to stop the march of Gaitan to power.
Unfortunately, this sad hoax was imposed to Colombians, and Gaitan family, by dint of Marxist propaganda campaigns that lasted years. That deception has been successful for the cowardice of some historians who would not do their job professionally and because the debate was always confiscated. Jorge Eliecer Gaitan on April 9, 1948 was one of the first great crimes of the Cold War. It was a sneaky shot of Stalin against the democratic world, at a key moment: when the USSR believed, first, that the United States would unleash against it a world war, and when he saw, with some foresight, that the Marshall Plan, in its two variants, one for Europe and one for Latin America, would be formidable lever to contain communist expansionism in the two continents. It is regrettable that Gaitán's granddaughter, at this point, continues to ignore the Bogotazo had a major geopolitical backdrop, the brutal death of his grandfather was not simply the means chosen by Moscow to deal it a blow to Washington and Americanism .
That blow was also a local goal: to open avenues to the Colombian Communists, who had been swept from the political scene and unions gaitanismo action. Gaitán although admired the USSR, communists hated Vieira and Duran. And that was not the only one of his great insights. Moscow had another more ambitious local target: get to Colombia from the sphere of the free world. How is it possible that Maria Valencia Gaitan ignore these facts? Colombia 60 years ago expected the emergence of the great biography of Gaitán. Gaitan worship there, and that's legitimate. However, it is an original worship: no hits and liturgical texts without great pontiffs.
If the definitive biography of Gaitán has not yet been written is because there is no central element: the truth. The truth of the life of Gaitán and, above all, the truth of his murder. In general, people have approached this issue do not dare remove four obstacles: a botched criminal investigation, a tale of mythic base, a tough ideological vision and a local approach, which denies important facts of the Cold War. From this perspective, these people can not think and write freely. The most dramatic of all is that the family keeps repeating Gaitán version invented by the perpetrators of Gaitan, instead of rebelling against this double crime against man and against the history of Colombia. How is it possible that Article Mary Valencia Gaitán has not once spoken of the war to the death that existed between the Communists and the gaitanismo? How can she keep saying that the bridges were broken between liberals, conservatives and gaitanismo? How can she say that the Liberal Party, led by Gaitán, was already a socialist party when Gaitán spoke until the last day of his life as "liberal-socialist", what else? This analysis of Mary is shocking.
How can she keep saying that Fidel Castro was in Bogota to attend a peaceful "student congress" forgetting that came to Bogota, from March 1948, cited not only the Cuban, who already had two people on their backs, but dozens of other hardened Stalinist Europe and Latin America, and the task of all of them experts in subversion, it was American Conference sabotage and direct an armed insurrection against the power? How can she ignore the documentation that exists on this? How can you ignore that this was the type of work organized by the Comintern in those years and that banged device similar to the April 9 in other countries? Do not know what you did during the English Civil War? "What he did in Czechoslovakia? Does not she know that Jan Masaryk, another great anti-liberal leader, was "suicided" by agents of Stalin, a few days before the assassination of Gaitán, March 9, 1948? The concept of "genocide" María Valencia Gaitán used without further thought should be used against those who killed Gaitan: are they the creators of the "independent republics" subsequent handlers and Tirofijo Sangrenegra bandits as the creators of the FARC and of other agencies that have murdered Colombian criminals and disorderly the country for 60 years.
is they still applying a policy of annihilation against Colombia. Would too much to ask Mary to try to see the history of his country with glasses that are not ideological?
