"La demencia de Diogenes Escalante"
"The dementia of Diogenes Escalante"
Mas o menos en el año 45 el entonces presidente de Venezuela, Isaias Medina, propuso a este señor, Diogenes Escalante, como su sucesor en las elecciones que se realizarian el año entrante. Debido a la preparacion que habia adquirido en el exterior, siendo embajador en Washintom D.C, muchos lo veian como el favorito para llevar el cargo de presidente, pero, algo insolito ocurrio... Un dia antes de las elecciones, Diogenes se encontraba en una Suit del Hotel Avila, su secretario privado Ramón José Velásquez, escucho al candidato decir muchas incoherencias, por lo que entro en la suit para saber de que se trataba. En ese instante ambos se observaron y Ramon le dijo:
More or less in the year 45, the then president of Venezuela, Isaias Medina, proposed to this gentleman, Diogenes Escalante, as his successor in the elections that would be held next year. Due to the preparation he had acquired abroad, being ambassador In Washintom DC, many saw him as the favorite to hold the office of president, but, something insolent happened ... One day before the elections, Diogenes was in a Suit Hotel Avila, his private secretary Ramon Jose Velasquez, I listen The candidate said many inconsistencies, so I entered the suit to know what it was. At that moment both were observed and Ramon said to him:
Ramon: Todo anda bien señor?
Diogenes: No Ramon, no encuentro mis camisas, quien se las ha llevado?
Ramon: Is everything alright sir?
Diogenes: No Ramon, I can not find my shirts, who took them?
El secretario se acerco rapidamente al closet de ropa y noto que habian camisas colgadas y planchadas, listas para usar. Ya en ocasiones anteriores Ramon, habia notado un cambio en el comportamiento del candidato favorito, lo unico que se le ocurrio fue llamar a un Medico. Se le diagnostico una grave enfermedad mental que termino por sacarlo del juego politico... Curioso? demasiado a mi parecer.
The clerk approached the closet quickly, and there were no iron-on, ironed shirts ready for use. Already in previous occasions Ramón, had noticed a change in the behavior of the favorite candidate, all that occurred to him was to call a doctor. It is diagnosed a serious mental illness that ends up by removing it from the political game ... Curious? Too much in my opinion

Conocido como el "el numero 1 de la television", este hombre se volvio muy famoso debido a su intachable trabajo y su carisma con el publico. Tuvo varios bloqueos por parte de los lideres comunicacionales. En una oportunidad se prescindio de su contrato, pues aseguraban que Renny, generaba mas plata como productor independiente que la propia directiva del canal jaja Ya veo porque le decian "el numero 1". Luego tuvo otros contratiempos cuando se reunieron todos los representantes de las televisora, para prohibir el ejercicio de productores independientes, puesto que ellos querian que cada uno de los integrantes fuese parte de la nomina, a lo que renny respondio:
Renny Ottolina was a social communicator, who plays the role of presenter and broadcaster in very popular television stations such as Rctv, Venevisión and radio stations. Known as the "number 1 television", this man became very famous for his impeccable work and his charisma with the public. It had several blockades on the part of the communicational leaders. On one occasion his contract was ignored, as they said that Renny was generating more money as an independent producer than the channel's Ya Ya veo directive because they said "number 1". Then he had other setbacks when all the representatives of the television stations met, to prohibit the exercise of independent producers, since those who wanted each of the members to be part of the payroll, to which renny responded:
"No aceptare ser parte de la nomina de ningun canal privado, puesto que perderia mi independia de creatividad y de expresarme libremente"
"I will not accept to be part of the nomina of any private channel, since it would lose my independence of creativity and of expressing myself freely"
Fue un gran activista critico del gobierno de Carlos Andres Perez, en su programa "Renny en la Radio". En el año 77 decide lanzarse como candidato a la presidencia, fundando el partido "Movimiento de Integridad Nacional", era el favorito para este papel, todos lo conocian pero, era la piedra en el zapato de Carlos Andres? o de las elites televisivas que en anteriores ocasiones mostraron una clara tranca en su trabajo?
He was a great critical activist of the government of Carlos Andres Perez, in his program "Renny in the Radio". In the year 77 he decides to launch himself as presidential candidate, founding the "National Integrity Movement" party, was the favorite for this role, everyone knew him but, was the stone in the shoe of Carlos Andres? Or of the television elites who on previous occasions showed a clear lock in their work?
Lo cierto es que alguien le frustro sus planes, pues en el año 78 decide hacer un viaje de negocios a Margarita, iba a bordo de un avion junto con sus colegas pero, algo paso!... El avion se estrello en el pico naiguata, donde se allaron mas tarde los restos sin vida de Renny y otros colegas que se encontraban en la tripulacion. Casualidad? Nunca estos caso son casualidad, al menos yo lo veo asi...
The truth is that someone frustrated his plans, because in the year 78 decides to make a business trip to Margarita, he was on board a plane together with his colleagues but, something happened! ... The plane crashed in the pico naiguata , Where the later remains of Renny and other colleagues who were in the crew were later found. Chance? Never these cases are chance, at least I see it like this ...
