Balaguer: "Trujillo is the tenth Trinity"
Written by: ANGELA PEÑA
The speech "President Joaquín Balaguer on February 27, 1961 in Congress to lay the memories of last year, is historic not only because it was the last major speech devoted to exalt supposed achievements of the regime but because exaggeration exceeded all flattering adjectives that until then had created to enlarge the tyrant.
The memorable speech reflected as a political fox proved to death.
This parliament does not seem given by the man who was aware of the general distaste for the disappearances, exiles and crimes as heinous as the murder of the Mirabal sisters and the plot is hatched to kill the tyrant, as has been stated after tyrannicide .
Balaguer, Trujillo who allegedly said it was beating him, did not think about their aspirations for the future and risked their future in this proclamation that filled front pages and deserved laudatory editorial in the week from 26 February to 4 March. Was adjusted at the time while signals glimpse of their ambitions.
not acted out of ignorance, he knew what he was doing, as can be inferred from the book, published after the execution. "Man, at that time was reduced to the point of becoming a puppet. The sense of dignity completely disappear. The cult of Trujillo was exaggerated to the point that the name of Duarte and the other founders of the Republic ceased to be offered for public veneration and were banished from the classroom, "he wrote Balaguer, having been inspiring and example of such behavior. His speech on February 27, 1961 is the best example.
The height of flattery. Balaguer said Trujillo was not part of the nine Trinidadians who founded the secret society but said "the Tenth Trinity" because "picked up the torch of Duarte and fanned the flame to prevent our generation extinct pick the fields covered with debris from institutions. "
said that the satrap was "the greatest creator of wealth that has existed in Dominican history" and that "Chief" owed "to redeem the feat four times that secular misery."
For him, it was not until 1930, with the rise of Trujillo, when it reaffirmed the citizenship and poverty won. "It so also our liberator, and so, when we commemorate the February 27, we must look back to greet him as the hero who gave us the prosperity integral independence, sovereignty, true, true freedom. " Not content to overshadow Duarte, Mella reduced virtually to say that the pages of the memoirs were not "swollen with flashing blunderbuss or cut by bursts of anger" and that "Trujillo had won" the only battles that have cost blood to Republic and have covered their banners of unfading glory. "
attacked the anti-Trujillo exiles and "acts of international aggression" against the Republic, and while acknowledging that it had affected the economy, was optimistic because "Trujillo Era began with a cyclone and has since lived as a bird moving storm from hurricane winds." He cited among those winds to the issue of Cayo Confectionery, the earthquake of 1946, "border incidents" in 1937, defined as "summer clouds that left the blue sky."
revealed a mysterious alleged alliance between Trujillo and God and stressed that "this inviolable covenant is the secret of the great leaders of the supreme conductor of the victorious leaders." He reiterated that the tyrant was "A protégé of destiny" and that throughout his career had involved "factors providential, divine."
He called it "the immortal star," "the great republic," the builder par excellence. " Highlighted the alleged prevailing democracy, peace and freedom of religion, despite the official attacks on the bishops. So be careful to make an example of that freedom to lift the ban on "legal" it was against the Jehovah's Witnesses and report "Aid to the Church continuously dispensed from the August 16, 1930."
enumerated alleged progress in public works, agriculture, industry, commerce, labor, health, welfare, the gains of having its own customs, economic autonomy, strength in the banks of the State, firmly in the Dominican currency and a vast building program. No obvious invasion emphasize "sometimes violent, sometimes peaceful Haiti", problem solved by "the Benefactor" with the establishment of a policy of mutual respect between the two nations "meant.
"Do not mistake the fools that feed outside the idea that the order that prevails today in the country may be subverted as if 30 years pass in vain on the conscience of a people ... as if it were possible violate human means the course of history, "he said, recalling" the motto of the hero, immortalized by Longfellow: Onward, ever onward! ".
Balaguer Trujillo met in the political campaign that sought election with Estrella Ureña, in 1930, and drafted the Manifesto of the Civic Movement against President Horacio Vásquez. On trips was introduced as "the youngest speaker of the Republican Party." Since then most of the tyrant was removed. The last great speech you gave compliments to the corpse of their leader in 1961.

Born in the September 1, 1906 ranked first charge of "the Age" in 1930 and played high positions until August 1960 when he was sworn in as President of the Republic "to" soften "the sanctions imposed on the country.
Trujillo's death, on 30 May 1961 caught him in that role. He left the Republic on March 7, 1962 after taking refuge in the Vatican embassy and returned on June 25, 1965. He ruled the country from 1966-1978 and 1986-1996. He died on July 14 2002.
confessed in his memoirs that one of the secrets in public life is waiting. "He who is impatient, spurred by their ambitions, risks tripping and unnecessarily exposed to failure .... "
