Madrid, Jan, Edwin Perez Uberhuaga (Root) .- It is the same as I knew. Your haircut is very different and his eyes no longer shows the power of its 28 years, but the burden of not finding a job or thinking too much about his family in Bolivia, but relief that they did not realize that was five weeks in jail and surrounded by criminals and others like him who commit the "crime" of not having residency papers. Madrid
The cold helps to put your head over and can not hide his thrill at seeing a police patrol stopped at a red light or guards who seem to watch it a lot.
This paceño came to Spain three years ago, from Argentina and has jumped from job to job, including posing as someone "with papers" to send money to his two hijos.Franz already been arrested once, and met the negligence of some legal aid lawyers, judges rigor with foreigners and fear of these "searches" that occur especially now in the "barrios Bolivians", for the simple detail of the 350 000 compatriots in Spain, 70 percent arrived after the operation and today do not have "papers."
When there were four days for the 40 regulations in order to expel him or release him, Franz left the Center for Foreigners (CIE) of Madrid, where he became one of the "old" and was spending more than 70 compatriots who are today expelled or who are within the ICE, in the hope that the open letter signed with denunciations, is taken into account.
"I have seen the assault of police officers and African Bolivians, the abortion of a Bosnian woman and heard the insults and threats from guards because I told them that the food was burnt," sums to remember that there are many Bolivians. "So many of us to a pay phone is exclusive to us, but sometimes slip Dominican or Colombian" jokes.
met "brave" who resisted boarding the plane, despite being enmanillados, and were returned to ICE, but its fate is unclear: they may not resist a second vez.Formalmente ICN is the eve of the expulsions illegal immigrants, but people who committed crimes, leading to what experts call "criminal contamination".
relationship problems, looks cloudy, disputes over the telephone or public baths, a priority for health care, visits by relatives and a drug smell that pervades some environments are part of the picture reflected by several of his "former guests."
recently the Director of CIE, Jesus Mateos, said many Bolivians are arrested for drinking lots of beer, making scandals and domestic violence. "That is partly true, but many were arrested as they left the Metro or clothing of workers or waiters, in the work, "said Franz, with a tone of someone who knows the subject.
much, that tells of a fellow who was arrested at the airport with their luggage in the plane and about leaving Spain. "He lost his ticket and his pregnant wife waited in Bolivia. In other words, prevented him from traveling and then expelled, "he smiles wryly.
When Franz left the CIE, and had no job, now works a few hours ironing replacing some relatives and pray for getting a contract of employment, necessary to normalize . The European cold freezes your optimism, but he knows that things in Bolivia are not well enough to return.
After living "hell" of being undocumented, now hopes to enjoy a clear role in your wallet and your mind the feeling of being a citizen "second" or does not exist. • Edwin Perez

Carnivals and defend our culture
(Editorial February 2009)
Uberhuaga Edwin Pérez (Root) .- From different parts of Spain and the rest of Europe ROOT reach BOLIVIA Bolivian news announcing the presence at the carnival during the month of February.
If this year is set to consolidate the "roles", stability, family reunification, it must be for a defense firm and deep cultural heritage of Bolivia.
is a question of numbers: in past decades had so few Bolivians in Europe who could not counter the cultural looting of other countries that showed the music, dance and even regions of Bolivia, like other countries, which diverted a large amount tourists, with the economic damage that implica.Ahora, with nearly half a million compatriots in the Old World, things have to change.
We are everywhere and we must make us feel, with all the resources posibles.Sin doubt again our presence in the streets, cultural centers and scenarios will be as diverse as are the carnivals of Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, Tarija, La Paz and the impressive Carnival of Oruro, Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
The colorful costumes of the Cholas, brown, foremen, hell, tipoy, will give a special color and will attract the attention of the media, as they have done in the past. But there are journalists who are wrong and point to other countries and not ours.
It is therefore vital that we put aside all our timidity to assume the role of ambassadors and so take every possible space to spread not only our culture but also our values.
Each association and dance group, you should edit brochures or newsletters to be released and, above all, explain the dances and traditions.
Dancers, of course, should know well what they are dancing, they should reach out to journalists for interviews. This is not show the face of each, but to provide the necessary information.
must also be vigilant that other countries do not show as their own dances and music. In Barcelona in 2008 there were interesting discussions to settle, so fraternal, these excesses.
Leaving aside the weariness of those days should be informed of these activities via the Internet, not only to defend the property, but to cheer up fellow worldwide.
technology allows you to send text, pictures and images of very good calidad.Hace little, in Bergamo, Italy, I saw dozens of elderly people with canes and wheelchairs on the sidewalk as they went the groups in Bolivia, composed of men and women who were responsible for their care and invited them to see other facets of his life.
There are also cases of workers who spoke both of the country, which led to their bosses to go to Bolivia ... and until they paid their passage. In our country many Foreigners can cure the ills of the body and so alma.En no better way for the cultural diversity of music, dance and a sincere feeling of friendship that breaks boundaries. • Edwin Perez
