SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM, DEAR Mary Simon Carolina? Do it like we do it: on your own !
Igor Polk. PS Here is an approximage ( automatic) translation: ( it took me long time to introduce line breaks. Thanks for your help, dear List-Hosts ! ) * * * Dear musicians, dancers, teachers, organizers milongas, photographers, cartoonists, teachers, media and all those who since 1998 have been part, each from his own place, the Buenos Aires Tango Festival, the Metropolitan Championships and World Tango Dance, and the web Tangodata: The next Buenos Festival Aires Tango, when the city held for the tenth time our gender citizen, it will not be an occasion for celebration, as many had imagined. Authorities Culture management took last weekend have reported the suspension of the event. They did so precisely on 11 December, but I doubt they know what they should festejarse that day. It should be noted that this decision was taken without any discussion with us about what was armed, what artists had been called, what spaces were involved, ie without assessing what would be the consequences of the decision or who would harmed. The installation national and international Tangodata and events that Tango until Friday organized by the city government was an arduous task that had taken many years, even since the time that the current Minister of Culture, Hernan Lombardi was Assistant Secretary of Tourism of the city. Unfortunately, today we see that emptying the area of Tango and the rest of the festival is a long-planned strategy, which is demonstrated by the speed and violence that implemented this change, which is rather like a demolition. On Tuesday, the first working day of the management macrista, we come to what until then had our offices and we find that the signs indicating the spaces of the various events had been uprooted. On the same day the newly General Coordinator Production informed us that the festival was discontinued, which would change the structure of the Directorate and all we were going to be reassigned to other duties and other physical spaces. Yesterday, Wednesday, we were invited to vacate the offices, emptying withdraw our computers and personal effects from them. We provide "compensatory francs" until January 15 and I fear what may happen that day. Not only is flouting a project that took years to build, but also despise human resources and knowledge that formed over ten years. I apologize to all those invited to be part of the festival no longer. Probably he had sinned of naive and even optimistic, but honestly this scenario is not what I dreamed nor the worst of my nightmares. In turn, I am grateful that we have together all these years and have allowed us to work with you, enjoying their art, their knowledge and all of you as individuals. I also wish to express my great gratitude to all those who were part of the team, and those who were. Thank labor, delivery, commitment and passion that brought. The success and prestige undeniable that we managed to build (and pro - Macri forces came to destroy) was possible because we did all possible. I hope to meet many of you in situations happier. Thank you, Mary Simon Carolina DCI 1696451615 5967-9978 PS: those who want to express their disagreement with the measures taken by the current government of the City can write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Gabriela Michetti) and hlombardi @ fibertel . com.ar (Hernan Lombardi). Obviously phones and emails through which we used to communicate are no longer valid ways. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
