Resumen
Descripción
Ubicado sobre la costa del Río Uruguay, al noreste
de la provincia de Misiones, un municipio de frontera fue el escenario de procesos políticos que tuvieron gran notoriedad pública entre los años 2013 y
2015, cuando sucesivas comisiones investigadoras
conformadas en el ámbito del Concejo Deliberante
resolvieron la destitución de dos intendentes acusados formalmente de negligencia, ineptitud e irregularidad en el cumplimiento de sus funciones. En
un contexto general en el cual el cambio de gobierno
nacional impulsó el debate sobre el problema de la
corrupción a nivel estatal, los procesos analizados
en este trabajo adquieren relevancia para comprender a un nivel micro las particulares dinámicas
institucionales, los mecanismos adoptados para
la apropiación de los recursos en el ámbito del Estado municipal, y en qué medida estas prácticas
son toleradas, justificadas o naturalizadas por la
sociedad local. Asimismo, en este trabajo indagamos sobre las formas de ejercicio de la autoridad,
el desarrollo de la actividad política institucionalizada y las tramas del poder local, para discutir las nociones de gobierno en un municipio
fronterizo, donde el discurso de la corrupción se
configuró como una crítica moral de los políticos
profesionales. Para la realización de este trabajo,
reconstruimos los casos referidos a partir del análisis en clave antropológica de distintas fuentes
orales (entrevistas a actores claves) y escritas (documentos oficiales y artículos periodísticos).
Located on the coast of the Uruguay River, northeast of the province of Misiones, a border municipality was the scene of political processes that had great public notoriety between 2013 and 2015, when successive investigative commissions formed within the scope of the Deliberative Council resolved the impeachment of two mayors formally accused of negligence, ineptitude and irregularity in the performance of their duties. In a general context where the change of national government strongly debated the problem of corruption at the State level, the processes analyzed in this work acquire relevance to understand at a micro level the particular institutional dynamics, the mechanisms adopted for the appropriation of resources within the scope of the municipal State, and to what extent these practices are tolerated, justified and naturalized by local society. Likewise, in this work we inquire about the forms of exercise of authority, the development of institutionalized political activity and the patterns of local power, to discuss the notions of government in a border municipality, where corruption discourse was configured as a moral criticism of professional politicians. The article reconstructs the referred cases, based on an anthropological analysis of different oral sources (interviews with key actors) and written material (official documents and newspaper articles).
