translated from Spanish: Cristina and celestial scarves: are there limits in the union which makes the force?

the initial question of note would be, within feminism as a partisan organization, celestial scarves, handkerchiefs celestial not? From the speech of the former President Cristina Fernández on Monday, the debate broke out. The candidate more votes sum as well as change, included in his speech and his party who used this handkerchief and also that “praying” and put on the table topics of great depth that cannot be measured simply in a color. 
Or if? Although the Catholic Church is one of the institutions who are fervently against legal abortion, not it all and all the Catholic already there, for example, within the national campaign for the right to abortion, the women who make up the Catholic group for the right to decide. But this debate is not innocent and gets to play in a framework of political decisions that will weigh on the forthcoming elections. Grabois figure echoes in peronism and referents of feminism as Ofelia Fernández voted yes for this approach that represents, hold, the phrase “unity is strength”. 
Cannot be guaranteed legal abortion in a country that budget cuts to hospitals that pieces are already made? Is it important to mark limits with regard to the color of our feminist ideology? The scarf of the campaign by abortion became mass for some years and the gender priority on the political agenda. But the feminization of poverty is a phenomenon that happens and the economic crisis hit much more to women than to men. Is it a question of priorities? Does abortion kill poverty? While the question is a play on words, the response of those who raise the flag of Cristina is that Yes, that are poor women who die from illegal abortions. Then, would have to first solve the poverty and then abortion or are measures that go hand in hand? To understand the topic Filo.news spoke with the sociologist of Ceil (Conicet) Prieto Sun, Laura Salome of the national campaign for the right to Legal abortion, Candelaria Botto, Member of Marabunta organization and with the journalist and Director of Futurock, Julia Mengolini. Do blue handkerchief = Catholic Church?

This phrase was that exploded in the face of all the feminist movement and also equaled two colors which hitherto were confronted. “What he wanted is to explain that we must broaden the bases, not in superestructurales terms, not have an alliance with the Church. When he said it he spoke of the Argentine people since there are many religious people, that you referred to. There is a small mistake in the semantics of the sentence, that has to do with identifying celestial handkerchiefs with religious people”, explains Mengolini and adds:”celestial handkerchiefs are not symbols of religious people and it must be built with the religious people “because it is impossible to beat the neoliberalism”. While within our country a 76% of the people are Catholic, according to the first national survey of beliefs and religious attitudes in Argentina during the year 2008, there are 11% and 63.9% of Catholics and Catholic who favor legal abortion “occasionally” “always”. Then, are they truly members of the Church who are against? “It’s the confusion for me is generated at the time in which it says ´los to pray and that no´ because it is not so clear to those who pray are light blue scarf. Because if you saw both the polls and votes in Senate and deputies, peronism was consistently 60 in favour, 40 against, I believe that deputies gave much more. “In change was upside down”, details Sun Prieto. The green wave is transverse, they must be so also matches?
Feminism is the most heterogeneous of all movement since machismo no distinction of social classes. Silvia Gabriela Lospennato, for example, is member of the PRO from the year 2015 and one of the members of “the sororas”, team that campaigned and voted in favor of legal abortion in Congress.

Is not accept the celestial tissues within an organization the right thing? Candelaria Botto says Yes. “Little more than 3 months ago, celestial handkerchiefs celebrated which won the clandestine abortion in our country. They celebrated that things should continue as they are and from August 8 we continue firing colleagues who leave their lives in choosing not to take shape. This group being asked us to join. “In pursuit of a unit we are asked to surrender our fight and but accuses us purists”, expresses and reinforces: “if something became clear with the green wave is that purists we have nothing, we build section but without relegating fights “, build feminism because we see in it the possibility to change everything and that without us not in our name either”. Meanwhile, Laura Salomé de la Campaña, says: “the context in which the former President CFK CITES us, arguing that we should stop side forces divisions, unfortunately gives entity to opponents, they were opposed and will continue to do so, to the exercise of” our rights. “It is a bad example and is worrisome because at the bottom we agree with what she says, also want public policies that guarantee equal access to health and education”. Legal abortion is first the former President in a meeting with feminist communicators | Photo: Manifest communication while the rapprochement with Grabois marks a road impassable for the left, if you have to choose, Fernández Cristina de Kirchner, leader of the Peronist movement, choose put the handkerchief for legalization. On August 8 this year, the Senator voted in favor of legal abortion the Senator voted in favor of legal abortion. Their shift, since it is pronounced openly against it, won it in large part to his daughter Florence, but in addition to feminist women who conversed with her into one of the largest political parties and, therefore, our country sexist.” Cristina said national, popular and feminist. And that for feminists within peronism meant a lot. Meant that throughout this fight gave as result a recognition and legitimacy within the same party, it seems to me that the idea is ´bueno, now we are going through this, after winning do quilombo as know you hacer´ “, says Prieto Sun. 

Leadership together different wills, gather and then define. And Cristina defined its position on abortion in the Senate. The task and responsibility of the militant is also persuaded that thinks different. – Julia Mengolini (@juliamengo) November 19, 2018 “celestial handkerchiefs arise as a response to a green handkerchief, is not the same. It is a conservative and authoritarian response that seeks to curb a struggle seeking rights, do not they seem comparable. I don’t think to be also not synonymous of a religious opposition that is a valid position. There are religious people that is in favor of abortion, it is something much more complex,”says Mengolini.En tuning, Salome says:” celestial handkerchiefs emerged in the form of mirror, ´a image and semejanza´ of our own. ” “The campaign ´salvemos the two vidas´ chose the blue of nationalism and calling on the ´unidad´ of the churches to oppose the recognition of our rights and autonomy”. Weekends and fears this debate sounds known. Purism as political demand is one of the pillars of the left and that constantly questions him peronism that, for his part, used the art of negotiation and consensus to win battles. Peronism, they argue from several sectors of the left, stops the revolution forming the people and negotiating with the owners of the means of production. “We could see that the first who came out to fenced Cristina almost licking his Tweet are those sectors. Reproduces the discussion if we make policy purist, or if we are going to get into the neighborhood and broaden the base of the policy. There is a big difference of the vocation of power, another policy has less power, with the same utopia vocation, but more irresponsible since it ends up prioritizing the purity of its space leaving aside matters of policy which are, to my “, the objectives”, responds Mengolini.

“We have to accept the celestial handkerchiefs.”
the blue scarf is a symbol of MILITANCY so that women and girls continue dying in the underground. – Myriam Bregman (@myriambregman) November 19, 2018 in contrast, Botto says: “if something became clear with the green wave is that p” “uristas we have nothing, we build section but without relegating fights, build feminism because we see in it the possibility to change everything and that without us not in our name either”. For the militant’s jungle, while the mainstreaming in the feminist movement exists and appeals to all women who are active against legal abortion, they are capped. “Also it became clear this year that with the light blue tissue there is no discussion possible because his militancy is against our rights, our desires, and stockpiles.” “Something that remains in force in its fight against the Integral Sexual education, in his activism in block access to non punishable abortion or try to bring the legislation before 1921, coupled with their fight against the gender perspective”, says. It is important to note that, to write this note, I sought to include the majority of possible voices involved in this matter that does not focus on the simple reading of a handkerchief color but across many key areas when it comes to military por an idea. The objective is the same but the forms change according to their interlocutors. Destroy to neo-liberalism and the machismo that prevails, is the purpose of the whole feminist movement, now have to see how the trenches are built.
