1Guatemala: Public Support for the Death PenaltyTohanan'ny daholobe ny fanamelohana ho faty
2One might see a contradiction in Guatemala in regards to attitudes towards the death penalty.Sary “brooms head romans.. ” an'i Antigua Daily Photo arovan'ny licence Creative Commons.
3On one hand, Guatemalans are heavily devoted and participate in religious festivities of the Catholic and Protestant churches during holy week, which is the time for the faithful to commemorate the execution of Jesus Christ.Ny tsirairay dia afaka mahita izay fifanoherana eto Guatemala momba ny fanamelohana ho faty izay. Andaniny, ireo Guatémaltèques dia mandray anjara mavesatra amin'ny fihetsiketsehana ara-pinoana karakarain'ny Katolika sy ny Protestanta mandritry ny herinandro masina, fotoana natao indrindra ho fahatsiarovan'ireo mpino ny namonoana an'i Jesosy (Jesoa) Kristy.
4However, with the same devotion and passion, most Guatemalans strongly support the death penalty.Na izany aza, ny ankabeazan'ny Guatémaltèques dia manohana tanteraka ny sazy fanamelohana ho faty.
5First, it was announced that death penalty will not be applied to the criminals (there are more than 40 waiting in line), and the international community supported this decision, while several ordinary citizens were really upset.Voalohany indrindra, nambàra fa tsy hoampiharina amin'ireo nahavita heloka bevava ity fanamelohana ho faty ity (miisa maherin'ny 40 any ho any), ary nanohana izany ny fiombonam-be iraisam-pirenena, izy tena tsy nahafàly velively ny olon-tsotra maro.
6Then the President said that the decree was unconstitutional, and that the law had to be enforced.Nilaza ny Filoham-pirenena fa mifanohitra amin'ny lalampanorenana ilay didy, nefa ny lalàna tsy maintsy ampiharina.
7Bloggers have divided opinions, some in favor, some against it.Nizarazàra be ihany ny fijerin'ny mpitoraka blaogy, ao ny mpomba, ao ny manohitra azy io.
8But sadly, in all of them you can read the lack of credibility in the system and the loss of hope.Mampalahelo anefa, taratra amin'izany rehetra izany ny fahadisoam-panantenana sy ny tsy fisian'ny fitokisana intsony ny rafitra misy.
9Such contradictions are clearly exposed by El Toronteco on his post Overdue Pride, where he argues:El Toronteco dia naneho mazàva ny momba izay fifanoheran-kevitra izay ho ” Hambo diso toerana” amin'ny hafatra nalefany nilazany hoe:
10During my quarter of a century growing up in Guatemala the death penalty was a non-issue.Ampahefatra taon-jato iray no nitomboako teto Guatemala fa tsy dia nazàva loatra ity resaka fanamelohana ho faty ity.
11It existed, it was enforced every now and then, it was even broadcast on the news at noon.Nisy izy io, nampiharina indraindray, nolazaina nandritry ny fampahalalàm-baovaon'ny mitatao vovonana koa aza.
12I learned compassion, thought, through the eyes of my Tía Luz who served somewhat as our nanny and to whom I am in debt for who I am almost as much as my parents.Henoko ny fitsérana, ny eritreritra, avy any anatin'ny mason'i Tia Luz izay mpanampinay fony fahazazako, ananany trosa be tokoa aho toy ny fananany trosa koa amin'ireo raiamandreniko.
13Her reaction to anyone being incarcerated or taking in by police, or worse, anyone who was in death row was Pobrecito (“poor little guy”).Ny fihetseham-pony no ilazàny ho an'izay voagàdra, na noraofin'ny polisy, na ratsy kokoa noho izany, dia ireo rehetra anatin'ny lalantsàran'ny fahafatesana ho “Pobrecito” adikantsika malalaka hoe ‘ilay mahantra'.
14Compassion for a criminal is something that is not often seen, particularly in Guatemala where the sole mention of the “Human Rights” in relation to common criminals provokes the outcry of the general public as a way of letting people get away with their wrongdoings.Ny fitsérana olona nanao heloka bevàva dia zavatra tsy dia fahita firy, indrindra aty Guatemala, izay vantany vao mampifandray ny ‘Zon'olombelona' amin'ny nanao heloka bevava dia tonga loharanon-kotaba (korontana) ho an'ny olon-drehetra sy raisiny ho toy ny famelàna ny sasany ho afa-maina tsy misy arakaraka amin'ny hadalàna vitany.
15Now that I think about it to put it in black and white pixels Human Rights have so many different meanings in Guatemala.Amin'izao fotoana ieritreretako ny hametraka azy ho toy ny mainty ambonin'ny fotsy izao (hampibaribary) dia mànana dikany maro ny hoe Zon'olombelona aty Guatemala.
16On one side we have the issue of the genocide of those who were fighting against the government (blowing up the extremely necessary and scarce infrastructure of the country, I must say to echo my “maternal” point of view); those who are seen by the international community as criminals against humanity, the masterminds and executors of the massacres during the civil war and even after the peace accords of 1996.Andaniny dia atrehintsika ny resaka fifamonoan'ireo niady nanohitra ny governemanta (nandrodana ny foto-drafitrasa tena nilaina teto amin'ny firenena, tsy maintsy lazaiko hanakoako ny “fomba fijery amin'ny maha reny” ananako); ireo izay lazain'ny fiombonam-be iraisam-pirenena ho toy ny mpanao heloka bevàva amin'ny zanak'olombelona, ireo atidoha sy mpanatanteraka ny asa ratsy famonoana nandritry ny ady (geurre civile) sy taorian'ny fifanaràhana fampandriana fahalemana tamin'ny 1996.
17And then we have the Human Rights of the common criminal (or even the organized one) which are completely disregarded by the common public.Ankilany dia mànana ny zon'olombelona natao ho an'ny mpanao heloka isika, izay tsinontsinoavin'ny sarambabem-bahoaka tanteraka.
18Linchamientos (“lynching”) was (is?) a usual way of the people of taking the law into their own hands, as democratic as an open town hall.Fitsaràm-bahoaka “Linchamientos (” lyncher”) no làlana mahazatra hitan'ny olona ho fandraisana an-tànana sy hampihàrany ny lalàny, an'ny daholobe toy ny fidanadànan'ny Làpan'ny tanàna.
19Out of frustration, the general public chased the criminal (be it someone who was stealing a pair of sunglasses or someone being suspected or trying to kidnap a baby), beat him/her up almost to death, until “the authorities” arrive.Ambonin'ny herisetra, hazain'ny daholobe ny mpanao heloka (na io olona saika hangalatra solomaso, na noahiahiana, na nanàndrana naka ankeriny zazakely), ary dia voadaroka mila ho afaka hatramin'ny ainy, mandra-pahatongan'izay “tomponandraikitra”.
20Is in this context that Human Rights are looked down by Guatemalans, not in the context of the massacres”.Tanatin'io ve no nohamaivanin'ny Guatémaltèques ny resaka Zon'olombelona, fa tsy tamin'ny famonoana faobe”.
21As blogger Miguel Arriaga said on his post Pena de Muerte en Guatemala [es]:Toy izay nambàran'i Miguel Arriaga, mpitoraka blaogy ao amin'ny hàfany hoe Pena de Muerte en Guatemala [es]:
22My position is totally in favor of death penalty, and I have, at least 2 valid reasons.Mi postura es totalmente a favor de la pena de muerte, y tengo entre otras, dos razones que considero v lidas.
23La primera, es que debe hacerse cumplir la ley, si la ley dice 5 a¤os que se den 5 a¤os, si 10 pues que se den 10, y si la ley dice pena de muerte se debe aplicar; porque de antemano se sabe cuales delitos se castigan con la pena de muerte y el delincuente lo sabe, y si aun sabiendolo delinquio, pues que se le de la pena maxima.
24First, you should enforce the law, if the penalty is 5 years, then you should apply it, if it is 10 years, then you should give them 10 years, if the penalty is death, you should do so, because one knows in advance which crimes are punishable by death and if the criminal commits the crime regardless, then they should be punished with death penalty.Izaho manokana dia mankasitraka ny fanamelohana ho faty, antony roa raha kely indrindra no mahatonga ahy hilaza izany. Voalohany, tokony hampiharinareo ny lalana, raha 5 taona no sazy, ampiharo, raha 10 taona, omeo 10 taona ry zareo, raha fahafatesana no sazy, tokony hampiharinareo, satria efa fantatra mialoha hoe ny heloka toy inona no voasazy fanamelohana ho faty ka raha nankahatra sy tsy niraharaha izany ilay nanao ny heloka bevava dia tokony ho vonoina ho faty.
25On the other side is Lucía, who argues on ¡Que pena con la Muerte!; Etsy ankilany kosa i Luc¡a, izy milaza amin'ny ­Que pena con la Muerte!
26[es]:[es]:
27Of course there are people that you wish you could kill, and is better if the death is slow and painful.Por supuesto que hay tipos a los que dan ganas de matar, y mejor si es lenta y cruelmente.
28I know some that deserve to be hung forever.Conozco a unos cuantos que merecer¡an bailar eternamente en la horca.
29I also know that prisons in Guatemala are schools for criminals and that we have to pay taxes so prisoners will have food, etc. However, from that to justify death penalty in a culture, there is a huge difference.Tambi‚n s‚ que las c rceles de Guatemala son escuelas del crimen, y que nosotros pagamos la comida de los presos, etc‚tera, etc‚tera. Pero de eso a pensar que la pena de muerte es justificada en una cultura hay mucha diferencia.
30Has a human the right to kill another human being?¨Tiene un ser humano derecho a quitarle la vida a otro.
31Death Penalty is supported by some Protestant churches, as explained by El Blog de Chapu [es]:Ekena tokoa fa misy olona izay irianao mihitsy hovonoina, ary toa tsaratsara mihitsy aza ny hampitarazohana sy hampangirifiriana izany fahafatesana izany. Mahafantatra maro koa aho tokony hahantona.
32Fantatro koa fa lasa toeram-pianàrana ho an'ny mpanao heloka bevàva ny fonjan'i Guatemala, ary tsy maintsy mandoa hetra isika mba hihinanan'izy ireny hanina, sns….
33I will respectfully refer to the attitude adopted by the Evangelical Alliance, they say: “God created man in his image, so, if someone destroys the image of God, he has to be punished with the highest penalty.Na izany aza anefa, mbola lavitra ezaka ny hahafàhana manamàrina ny fanamelohana ho faty ao anatin'ny kolontsaina, Manan-jo hanàla ain'olona iray mitovy aminy ve ny olona iray hafa? ; Eken'ny fiangonana protestanta sasantsasany ny fanamelohana ho faty, araka ny fanazavàn'i El Blog de Chapu [es]:
34Me referir‚ con todo respeto a la actitud tomada por la Alianza Evang‚lica, ellos dicen que: “Dios nos cre¢ a imagen y semejanza y, por lo tanto, el que alguien destruya su propia imagen y semejanza merece el m ximo castigo posible.
35There is no doubt, God is not only the Creator of man, but also the creator of death penalty”.No hay duda de que Dios es no s¢lo el Creador del hombre, sino creador de la pena de muerte”.
36The leader of Christian Fraternity said that “Human beings are a divine creation, so when someone acts against such creation, he deserves that his own blood to run”.El pastor general de la Fraternidad Cristiana dijo que: ” el hombre es una creaci¢n divina y cuando alguien atenta contra esa creaci¢n, se merece y se gana el derramamiento de su propia sangre”.
37He argues that when Christ was executed, there were also other people that were executed.Recuerda que cuando crucificaron a Jesucristo, hab¡a otros condenados a muerte, cuya sentencia fue ejecutada..
38Mindrana tsy mihambahamba ny fomba fijery noraisin'ny “Alliance Evangelique” aho, hoy ry izy: “Andriamanitra dia namorona ny olona ho tahaka ny endriny, koa, raha misy olona manimba izany endrik'Andriamanitra izany, dia tokony hampiharina aminy ny sazy fàran'izay henjana indrindra.
39On his post: Deshojando la Margarita… Blogger Hablando de Guatemala [es] said:Tsy asiana adihevitra. Tsy mpamorona ny olona fotsiny Andriamanitra, fa mpamorona koa ny fanamelohana ho faty”.
40The United States provides us an example, they have not abolished capital punishment, and in several States it is still the highest penalty.Ny mpitarika ny Christian Fraternity dia nilaza fa :”Zavaboaharin'Andriamanitra ny olombelona, koa raha misy olona manao zavatra mifanohitra (manimba) izany zavaboahary izany, mendrika ho azy ny halàtsa-drà.
41Nazavainy fa tamin'ny namonoana an'i Kristy, nisy koa teo olon-kafa novonoina.
42Then, why not here?Anatin'ny hàfany: Deshojando la Margarita.
43Alvaro Colom can either be Nerón or (Pontius) Pilate, which are the hardest roles, but the situation has to be examined carefully and what the majority of society has to be done.i Hablando de Guatemala [es] mpitoraka blaogy dia nilaza toy izao: Estados Unidos nos da un ejemplo, ellos no la han abolido y en varios estados aun sigue siendo la pena m xima.
44¨Entonces porque aqu¡ no? µlvaro Colom tiene dos opciones ser Ner¢n o Ser Pilatos las dos opciones son dif¡ciles pero hay que analizar la situaci¢n detenidamente y hacer lo que la sociedad demanda, lo que la mayor¡a demanda.
45That is a democracy.As¡ funciona la democracia.
46What about the victims?¨Y las victimas que pensaran?
47Is it not fair to rule in favor and for justice for them?¨Acaso no es correcto hacerles justicia? ¨La ley del Tali¢n acaso?
48Manome ohatra antsika i Etats-Unis, tsy nanafoana ny fanamelohana ho faty zareo, ary mbola io no sazy faratampony any amin'ny fanjakana maro.
49Lex Talionis, then?Koa maninona no tsy ho tahaka ny any ny aty?
50Angamba i Alvaro Colom mety ho azo ampitahaina amin'i Neron na (Pontius) Pilate izay azo lazaina ho ny henjana indrindra, saingy tokony hojerena lalina kosa ny tranga miseho sy ny betsaka tokony hatao eo amin'ny fiaraha-monina.
51The streets in Guatemala are covered by flowers and images of Christ during Holy Week.Endriky ny Demokrasia izany. Ary ny momba ny nihàram-pahavoàzana kosa indray?
52You can see flower vendors, candle vendors,, people in the streets at night, whole neighborhoods making the arrangements for the festivities.Tsy ara-dràriny ve raha asiam-pitantànana sy fitsàrana tsy mitanila ho azy ireny? Loi Talionis, sa…
53In Guatemala, with public support and an ambigious response of the Head of State, the death penalty is still in effect and a couple of criminals will be executed in the next weeks.Mandritry ny herinandro masina dia rakotry ny voninkazo sy ny sarin'i Kristy ny làlan'i Guatemala. Hitanao eny ny mpivarotra voninkazo, mpivarotra labozia, olona mifamoivoy eny an-dàlambe amin'ny alina, mpifanolo-bodirindrina mifanome tànana mikarakara fety.
54Aty Guatemala, miaraka amin'ny fanohànan'ny olona sy ny valin-teny sadasada avy amin'ny Filoham-panjakana, ny fanamelohana ho faty dia mbola mihàtra, ary olona roa nanao heloka bevàva no hovonoina ato anatin'ny herinandro ho avy.
55The discussion took place just before the holidays.Talohan'ny fialantsasatra (fety) no nanomboka naka toerana ity adihevitra ity.
