Hillary
Never in the history of the United States has a woman been so close to becoming head of state as Hillary Clinton, not only a demonstration of her ambition and preparation, but also a good omen for Latin America in its relations with the world’s most powerful nation.
It is a good omen, because in addition to succeeding the first black president, she would deepen the rapprochement with Cuba and the inevitable weakening of the Castros' rusty dictatorial springs. As secretary of state, and even before, she managed a discreet but constant communication with the governments of the Latin American region.
Even though it sounds empty, it is relevant now that speeches can be heard from the Republicans similar to those from the time of Roosevelt’s “big stick”: Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz want to please Spanish-speaking voters while resembling the stubborn John Foster Dulles and Joseph McCarthy with their sanctions, not knowing that in Latin America people want something else.
Hillary even showed she could keep her marriage in precarious balance when her husband succumbed to the partial temptation of the then beautiful, curvy Monica Lewinsky. In an understandable fit of anger, she hit the unfaithful Bill with a book, causing a small head injury, but she did not satisfy society’s prudish desires. Where would she be if she had gotten divorced?
Hillary is, without a doubt, intelligent and has undertaken intense political activity. With confidence and experience, she knew how to contribute to the success of Bill Clinton’s presidential terms, during which the American economy advanced in a sustained, even manner, without drama. Even in literary terms, García Márquez’s little pro-Fidel heart was won over in the face of then-President Clinton’s knowledge, who, during a dinner, proved that he had not only read “The Sound and the Fury” and other of Faulkner’s works, but also Cervantes, Carlos Fuentes, and of course, Gabriel himself with his “One Hundred Years of Solitude.”
Of course, none of this guarantees a future glorious harvest where what has been sown will be reaped; however, it is a good omen at a time when the female presidencies of Brazil, Argentina and Chile are sinking in the seas of corruption and when Keiko Fujimori in Peru and the beautiful Zury Ríos in Guatemala, stick out as questionable candidates.
