Observando a Iberoamérica

  Me encanta el tema sobre el hubris. La desmesura, la arrogancia y todo lo que lleva la transformación del comportamiento de un decisor poderoso es lo más dramático que se pueda observar. Especialmente, en política, pero yo veo hubris por todas partes. Desde la universidad, las empresas, las instituciones a todo nivel. No se si es sesgo de mi parte, pero veo hubris cada vez más recurrente y en lugares donde no se pensaba que existiera hubris. Sorprende que eso ocurra, sobre todo, en estos tiempos y los lectores de LinkedIn lo saben, en que ninguna empresa, ningún departamento dura todo lo que debería durar en la línea en que estaba acostumbrado un trabajador promedio hace unos 15 años. Hoy todo es temporal y, aun así, hay hubris en las empresas. Se contagian muy rápido los jefes de hubris. Antes duraban mucho más. Especialmente, en aquellos nodos que son imprescindibles.

It has influence in 234 municipalities, mainly in the south of the country. Its main financial and military strength is in Cauca, with the Western Bloc. Financially, they control drug trafficking. They also live from illegal gold mining and extortion. So far, they have no agenda f...

  Chile is focused on the municipal elections that will take place after the summer holidays in the south. What is still worrying is the uncertainty, and the right wing is exploiting it very well. In the polls, its figures that will go to the primaries have as a priority to maintain a rank of institutionality that can catapult it as an option, even in its most radical wing like Kaiser. Johannes Kaiser, former deputy of the Republican Party, from the rightest wing of Kast and his party can hurt the Republican option by taking votes in the first round, but that can be neutralized, once the wounds have healed, in the second round. Kaiser, hand in hand with his brother Axel, is looking for alliances in the so-called libertarian right and the support of Milei, but it will not be easy for him. His potential vote is estimated to be 5%. Kaiser takes advantage of José Antonio Kast's bad moment after the December plebiscite together with the death of former President Piñera, but Kast has...
