Campaña electoral de Rogelio Landín par la alcaldía de Detroit

Esta historia fue publicada originalmente en inglés por Axios Detroit. La hemos publicado en español con autorización.

Original Story in English by Axios
Rogelio Landin es un activista y empresario de larga trayectoria, que si ganara la candidatura, asumiría el control del distrito escolar público. 

Panorama general: La entrevista de Axios con Landín es la más reciente de nuestra serie de entrevistas a candidatos a la alcaldía sobre sus prioridades políticas.

  • Landín y otros candidatos que no han ocupado cargos públicos electivos buscan impulsar el gobierno munic- ipal desde el exterior.
  • La contienda culmina con una primaria en agosto, donde los dos candidatos más votados se enfrentarán en noviembre.

Retrospectiva: La trayec- toria de Landín, oriundo
de Detroit, abarca desde un extenso trabajo local y nacio- nal por los derechos civiles de los latinos hasta juntas directivas de organizaciones sin fines de lucro, desarrollo laboral y consultoría con escuelas sobre diversidad y competencia cultural.

  • Landín, de 71 años, formó parte de la coalición Nuevo Detroit, formada para generar un cambio en respuesta al levantamiento de 1967 cuando tenía poco más de 20 años.
  • Landin también ha formado parte de cinco consejos asesores vecinales (grupos de residentes que negocian beneficios con grandes promotoras inmobiliarias) y lidera
    la Liga de Ciudadanos Latinoamericanos Unidos a nivel local.
  • Se postuló para el Concejo Municipal en cuatro ocasiones entre las décadas de 1980 y 2000.

Nos comparte: Landín afirma que decidió postularse porque tiene una amplia experiencia en las áreas en Detroit que necesitan ayuda: educación, vivienda y desar- rollo laboral.

ADVERTISEMENT
  • “He intentado todo lo que sé para darles ideas a la gente”, afirma. “Llegué al punto en que nada de eso ha funcionado, en que la única manera de implementar lo que he trabajado durante 20 o 30 años es hacerlo yo mismo, en nombre de las personas a las que les he dedicado mi vida”.

Situación actual: Landín fue noticia por su deseo como alcalde de intentar anexar 28 municipios con dificultades financieras del área metro- politana de Detroit, some- terlos a la administración de Detroit y utilizar los recursos combinados para resolver problemas como la vivienda y el transporte público.

  • Considera la idea de “una solución sostenible a largo plazo para generar más ingresos” y recursos del gobierno federal al conver- tirse en una ciudad de más de un millón de habitantes.
  • Al preguntársele por qué las comunidades aceptarían ser anexadas, Landín respondió que, si tuvieran una solución a sus propios problemas, ya lo habrían hecho.
  • “Asumiré toda la respons- abilidad de argumentar económicamente por qué esto beneficia a todos”, añadió.

En otra postura audaz, Landín quiere usar su expe- riencia en educación y poner el Distrito Comunitario de las Escuelas Públicas de Detroit bajo la administración de la alcaldía. Está admin- istrado por separado por un superintendente.

  • La idea de que el alcalde administre el distrito en dificultades fue propuesta por el exgobernador John Engler en 2017, según The News, pero el estado y la ciudad intentaron un enfoque similar a finales de la década de 1990 y los votantes lo rechazaron después de unos años.

Entre líneas: Landín quiere centrarse en el empoderamiento financiero para que los habitantes de Detroit puedan acceder a la vivienda que desean, en lugar de centrarse únicamente en la construcción de viviendas asequibles.

  • También quiere considerar la construcción de un World Trade Center en el Renaissance Center.
  • Asimismo, quiere desarr- ollar el puerto de Detroit y mejorar la posición de la ciudad como un importante centro logístico para el transporte ferroviario, de carga, aéreo y terrestre.

Contexto: Un tema central de la campaña para la alcaldía son las grandes empresas y
la comunidad: equilibrar los diversos intereses y necesi- dades de quienes afectan y se ven afectados por la evolu- ción de Detroit. Un ejemplo destacado de esta dinámica es la Ordenanza de Beneficios Comunitarios (CBO),
un proceso en el que los promotores inmobiliarios que reciben cierto nivel de recur- sos públicos deben reunirse con un consejo de residentes y redactar un acuerdo que beneficie al vecindario en torno a su proyecto.

  • Afirma que en los procesos de CBO, las corporaciones que buscan emprender grandes proyec- tos “no le quitan nada a la comunidad”, como argu- mentan algunos críticos.
  • Recuperan terrenos no utilizados y utilizan incen- tivos fiscales basados en el rendimiento, no “regalos”, afirmó.

En resumen: Le pregun- tamos sobre una cualidad que aportaría como alcalde que lo diferenciara de otros candidatos.

  • “La profundidad y amplitud de mi experiencia”, dijo, y agregó que podría convocar a las partes interesadas, al igual que a cualquier otro candidato.
  • También mencionó su experiencia en la formación de coaliciones y que es
    el único candidato no afroamericano. “Tenemos la oportunidad de formar una coalición urbana nacional entre afroamericanos e hispanos para abordar los resultados de las elecciones de 2028 en adelante, y así es como recuperaremos nuestro gobierno”.
