Reflections on the urbanization and the respect by the villera culture

Vivir in the villa makes include/understand, understand us and to value the life in her of way different from which it is listened to habitually in the yellow media, that seems to suggest them villas they are the causes of most of the problems of our dear Buenos Aires.

In these reflections we want to approach a positive glance of the culture that occurs in the villa, since for us it is a grace of God to live in her.

We did not ignore the delicate problems that the neighbors we lived in the villa: the familiar violence, the drug abuses, consumption, to only name some; although these and others are also present in the rest of the city of exposed form less, or more made up. As priests we humbly tried to watch the problems front, to see them with the heart and to jeopardize to us with the hands in its resolution.

Nevertheless, for us the villa is not a place to only help, is rather the scope that teaches one more a more human life to us, and therefore more Christian. We valued culture which one occurs in the villa, that arises from the encounter of the noblest and own values of the rear area or of the neighboring countries, with the urban reality.

The villera culture is not another thing that the rich popular culture of our Latin American towns. It is the popular Christianity that is born of the first evangelización; the town always lived it like own, with autonomy and always from its life of every day. Nonecclesiastic, nor either secularista is not a Christianity, but with authentic evangelical values.

When the town that lives in the villa celebrates, it celebrates the life, the natural life, but as he is Christian by its faith it knows that that life culminates, plenifica in the Life of God. When for example it celebrates to the Virgin (Luján, Caacupé, Copacabana, etc.) in those celebrations puts into play values like the brotherhood, solidarity and La Paz, since she is the Mother of all, the one that summons to us and in this type of celebrations it fortifies the social weave.

The town that celebrates in the villa celebrates the life, because it is organized around her, it yearns for and it fought by one more a worthier life. And, in this sense, the villera culture has an own way to conceive and to use the public space. Thus the street is natural extension of the own home, not simply place of transit, but the place where to generate bonds with the neighbors, where to find the possibility of expressing itself, the place of the popular celebration.

Culture of villa has characteristics very positive, that is a contribution for the time that is called on to us to live, it are expressed in values like solidarity; to give the life by another one; to prefer the birth to the death; to give a Christian burial to its deads; to take care of of the patient, to offer a place for the patient in the own house; to share the bread with the hungry one: “where they eat 10 they eat 12”; the patience and the strength as opposed to the great adversities, etc. Values that sustain in which the measurement of each human being is God, and not the money.

The villera culture very indicates evangelical values forgotten by the liberal society of the city. Liberal society that organizes and makes celebration around the power and to the wealth, and that is expression of ideologies of right to left.

For that reason, before I raise of urbanization of the villas - I raise that we preferred to the one of eradication which remembers topadoras- we were wondered to us what means.

Because, Kind! If urbanization means that the Buenosairean culture invades with its vanity the villera culture thinking that progress is to give him to? villeros? everything what they need to be a “civilized society”, we do not agree.

So that to think that the change of appearances - change of a brick house and plates done by the effort of the villero by another house of the Institute of the House of several floors is already a progress? ; in this case, urbanization will not be rather another thing that to aprolijar the villa so that the rest of the city does not scream and to leave conforms it? ; when one thinks about urbanizing, only thinks about making houses that are painted? , perhaps does not have exceeded examples of districts that changed their appearance and its reality has been worse than the lived one for a long time?

We thought that the word to urbanize is unilateral, one occurs from the power - not necessarily with bad intention and shows a devaluation of the culture of the villa. Let us think that the city thinks that must eliminate the villa and that it does not know his multifacética popular culture. I raise of urbanization must be respectful of an authentic culture as it is the villera and not to want to varnish it, or what is more serious still to erase it with a stroke of the pen.

Urbanizar or to colonize?
We do not create in this urbanization, rather we create in an encounter of cultures that coexist, learn, share. Perhaps would not be good that the rest of the Buenosairean districts knows and values the experiences and beliefs of the villeros? If the city does not want to colonize the villa it must have a humble heart able to listen to the word of immense quarters that have much to say.

The excessive mediatización of the government and organisms through the sharpshooting claypits has been throughout years one of the factors of the great ignorance of the villa and its culture.

To that they perhaps began as representing of his district have turned them remunerated representatives of other interests, the reference of which the system is the villa had left into the hands of this handful servile. For that reason, those are few that from the estates of the government or organizations know and value the villera culture.

That then elements would have to contemplate this encounter of cultures where to urbanize is not to colonize, but rather an integration of cultures that engage in a dialog and learn to each other giving most positive than they have?

To perhaps urbanize would not be rather to create positive situations where occur the same possibilities to which they live in the villa that to that Belgrano or any other place of the city lives in? Will not be to urbanize to guarantee the scholastic access for all the children and young people of the villas, or that when they are inaugurated the salitas of health count on the indispensable minimum as they are the sewers?

Will not be to urbanize the day that the doctors, priests, lawyers, professors or overseers arise from the villas so that imbuidos of the solidarity of the villera culture they put its life to the service of its district, the city, the country?

More than to urbanize like to speak we of urban integration, this is, to respect the idiosyncrasy of the towns, their customs, their way to construct, their talent to take advantage of time and space, to respect their place, that has its own history.

Without a doubt it must have a way of improvement of the quality of life in the villas - it was and it is a preoccupation of this equipment but it is fundamental in this way to put the ear in the heart of the villero so that the possible solutions do not come from offices where technicians work who ignore the reality, and that instead of improving it makes worse it. Serve as example those plans that lower indiscriminately, and that instead of stimulating the study they facilitate that the boy lets the school to receive them, or that the motivation to make an activity sport goes behind a plan. This type of asistencialismo - or would be necessary to say clientelism perpetuates the mental dependency and atrophies the capacity of the attended ones to become citizens responsible for its future.

Therefore, we understand that the positive of the urbanization is a preoccupation of the rest of the city towards the villa, treating to give one better quality him of life, but to ours to understand, thus immediately would be not to value and to remember what the villa can contribute to the rest of the city. For us urban integration would be the way that would have to be crossed in the City of Buenos Aires.
