Chaos, Peixe, Nando e Balboa falando tudo sobre a rodada do Brasileirão

La Corte Suprema panameña declaró en enero "inconstitucional" el contrato que ha permitido a la empresa Panama Ports Company (PPC), filial de Hutchison, administrar los puertos de Balboa, en el Pacífico, y Cristóbal, en el Atlántico. Hablamos con Sebastián Naranjo, especialista en las relaciones entre China y América Central.Escuchar audio

Dejamos atrás las pallozas y el humo de Balboa, y nos preparamos para una etapa de transición geográfica y emocional. Vamos a cruzar la frontera administrativa para entrar en Galicia, concretamente en la provincia de Lugo. Pero ojo, que no vamos a un sitio cualquiera. Vamos a visitar el Santo Grial de la despoblación gallega. Vamos al municipio con menos habitantes de toda Galicia. Cogemos carreteras comarcales que desafían las leyes de la física y el sentido común, y tras unos 60 kilómetros de curvas, bosques infinitos y paisajes que te quitan el hipo (y el mareo), llegamos a Negueira de Muñiz. Agárrense a la silla: este municipio tiene 228 habitantes. Sí, habéis oído bien. 228. En mi bloque de pisos hay más gente en la reunión de la comunidad peleándose por la derrama del ascensor. Su gentilicio es negueirense, y probablemente se conozcan todos no solo por el nombre, sino por el DNI. La historia de este pueblo es digna de una serie de tres temporadas en Netflix. Hasta 1925, esto pertenecía al municipio vecino de A Fonsagrada, pero decidieron independizarse. Le pusieron el apellido "de Muñiz" en honor a José Antonio Muñiz, un político de la época que, suponemos, les prometió el oro y el moro, o al menos una carretera asfaltada, y les cayó bien. Pero el verdadero drama, el giro de guion que cambió la historia de Negueira, llegó en los años 50 con la construcción del Embalse de Salime. Esta obra faraónica del franquismo embalsó el río Navia y partió el municipio literalmente en dos. Fue una carnicería demográfica. El agua anegó las mejores tierras de cultivo, los puentes y los caminos. Varias aldeas quedaron totalmente aisladas del resto del mundo, sin luz, sin teléfono y sin acceso rodado. La gente, lógicamente, tuvo que emigrar, dejando atrás casas, recuerdos y una vida entera. Aquello se quedó más vacío que la sede de Ciudadanos. Pero aquí viene lo curioso. En los años 70 y 80, cuando aquello parecía un escenario post-apocalíptico, llegaron nuevos pobladores. Grupos de hippies, naturalistas y gente buscando una vida alternativa descubrieron este paraíso perdido y ocuparon las aldeas abandonadas, como la famosa aldea de "O Foxo". Crearon la Comuna de Negueira, viviendo de la tierra, del amor libre, de la artesanía y de lo que buenamente surgiera. Se creó una mezcla sociológica fascinante: los paisanos gallegos de toda la vida, con su boina y su vaca, conviviendo con gente llegada de media Europa con rastas y huertos ecológicos. Y oye, parece que se entendieron, o al menos se toleraron. Uno de los grandes hitos recientes de Negueira es que, por fin, tienen puentes. Durante décadas, para cruzar de un lado a otro del embalse tenían que usar barcas, lo cual es muy romántico si vas de picnic un domingo, pero una putada si tienes que ir al médico un martes de noviembre lloviendo a cántaros. El patrimonio aquí es la Naturaleza con mayúsculas y negrita. Negueira tiene un microclima especial, más cálido que el resto de Lugo, lo que permite que crezcan alcornoques y viñedos. De hecho, aquí se hace un vino tinto muy peculiar y muy escaso, que no tiene nada que ver con el Ribeiro ni el Albariño. Es un vino heroico, cultivado en bancales que caen a plomo sobre el embalse. También destaca la Iglesia de San Salvador, sencilla y humilde, que ha visto pasar más historias de supervivencia que de religión. Visitar Negueira es ver la resistencia pura y dura.

Arrancamos hoy con el motor del Seat 131 Supermirafiori rugiendo como un león, nunca mejor dicho, porque seguimos en tierras leonesas. Dejamos atrás Molinaseca y el dolor de rodillas de los peregrinos para adentrarnos en lo más profundo, verde y misterioso de la comarca del Bierzo. Gonzalo, agárrate que vienen curvas, porque nos vamos a meter por carreteras donde el GPS te pide por favor que des la vuelta. Tras recorrer unos 35 kilómetros hacia el oeste, rozando ya con la punta de los dedos la frontera con Galicia, llegamos a nuestro destino de hoy: Balboa. Y que nadie se espere encontrar aquí a Rocky entrenando con cuartos de vaca colgando, aunque os digo una cosa, con las cuestas que hay en este pueblo, se te ponen unos gemelos que ni Sylvester Stallone en sus mejores tiempos. Este municipio cuenta, según el último recuento oficial, con 286 habitantes, y su gentilicio es balboano o balboana. Es un sitio que parece sacado de un cuento de hadas, pero de los antiguos, de los que daban un poco de miedo. Balboa es, sin lugar a dudas, la capital espiritual del "rollo celta" en la zona. Si os gusta El Señor de los Anillos o Braveheart, este es vuestro sitio, porque el pueblo está salpicado de las famosas Pallozas. Para el urbanita que nos escuche y piense que una palloza es un tipo de pizza o una enfermedad tropical: no. Una palloza es una construcción de origen prerromano, circular, hecha de piedra y con un techo cónico de paja de centeno (llamado teito) que llega casi hasta el suelo. Antiguamente, y cuando digo antiguamente hablo de hace no tanto, aquí vivían las familias junto con el ganado. Todo junto. La vaca, el abuelo, las gallinas y los niños. Era el sistema de calefacción central más ecológico y aromático de la historia. Hoy día, por suerte o por desgracia, ya no se usan para vivir, pero en Balboa las han conservado de maravilla y muchas se han reconvertido en bares o museos. Tomarse una cerveza dentro de una palloza, con ese olor a humo y madera vieja, es una experiencia religiosa. La historia de Balboa es la típica de esta zona fronteriza: castros prerromanos por un tubo, romanos que pasaron por aquí buscando oro como locos (que se llevaron hasta los empastes de los castreños) y señores feudales dándose de tortas por un trozo de monte. Testigo de esas peleas es el Castillo de Balboa, situado en lo alto de una colina que domina el valle. Es una fortaleza del siglo XIV que, durante mucho tiempo, estuvo que se caía a trozos, en lo que los expertos llaman "estado de ruina consolidada", que significa "está roto pero no lo tocamos para que no se caiga más". Recientemente lo han adecentado un poco, y subir hasta allí es obligatorio, aunque solo sea para recuperar el aliento y pensar en lo duro que debía ser subir el agua hasta ahí arriba en la Edad Media. Pero si hay algo que hace famoso a Balboa hoy en día, más allá de las piedras, es su ambiente. Tienen un rollo cultural y musical impresionante para ser un pueblo de menos de 300 vecinos. Aquí se celebra la famosa Noche Mágica de San Juan, una fiesta que atrae a gente de todas partes. Hacen hogueras gigantescas, hay conciertos de música folk y celta hasta que sale el sol, y la gente salta el fuego con una fe que ya quisiera yo para mi declaración de la renta. Es una mezcla entre una rave moderna y un ritual druídico ancestral. Otro punto fuerte del patrimonio local es la Casa de las Gentes. Es un edificio público, construido en madera por artistas locales, que sirve de museo y centro de exposiciones. Pero no es un edificio normal, está lleno de tallas de madera, relieves y detalles artísticos por todas partes. Es el ejemplo perfecto de que en la España Barbaciada no solo hay ruinas, hay gente creando cosas nuevas y chulas. Y por supuesto, no nos podemos ir sin mencionar la gastronomía. Estamos en el Bierzo, amigos. Aquí el botillo es el rey, y las castañas son la reina. Si te comes un botillo en una palloza y luego subes al castillo, has convalidado tres meses de gimnasio.

La filial de una compañía de Hong Kong, que operaba dos puertos del canal de Panamá, anunció que activará un arbitraje judicial, luego de que el gobierno panameño anulara los contratos de concesión. La decisión provocó una airada reacción de China, que advirtió que Panamá pagaría un alto precio por la medida. Por su parte, Estados Unidos aplaudió la decisión, en medio de la disputa entre ambas potencias por el control de esta vía estratégica para el comercio. Panama Ports Company sucursal de CK Hutchison Holdings va a impugnar la decisión de la justicia panameña y acusa al país de causarles grandes daños económicos y, al igual que China, de haber tomado una decisión política. “Hay cuatro contratos de concesiones portuarias, todos ellos contemplan una cláusula de arbitraje. Una cláusula que establece que el arbitraje se llevará a cabo según las reglas de arbitraje de la Cámara Internacional del Comercio. Lo importante en el caso de Panamá es que luego del fallo de la Corte, dado que los puertos de Balboa y Cristóbal son importantes en el movimiento portuario en Panamá se haga una coordinación, una transición que cause el menor perjuicio a los clientes”, afirma Rommel Troesch, que fue presidente de la Cámara Marítima de Panamá durante la expansión del canal. El arbitraje puede tardar años en resolverse y esto puede alterar el tránsito en un punto estratégico para el comercio mundial, y con Estados Unidos y China como principales clientes     “El tema es tan complicado por el impacto que tiene cualquier caída en la productividad de Balboa y de Cristóbal y no está del todo claro porque el Estado no ha aclarado si ya se llegó a un acuerdo con la compra del equipo móvil portuario porque frente a la declaración de inconstitucionalidad, la infraestructura física pasa al país que empieza a administrarlo. Pero el Estado no tiene equipos portuarios, un puerto no es nada más un muelle, si no se tiene el equipo móvil que mueve la carga y la descarga de los barcos, el puerto se convierte en una facilidad inerte”, teme Rommel Troesch. Por los puertos de Panamá se movieron 9,9 millones de contendores en 2025, un máximo histórico. Es el centro de trasbordo más grande de América Latina y un eje logístico vital. “Hay un golpe a la seguridad jurídica de los inversionistas y esto va a tener un impacto internacional porque todo aquél que quiera firmar contratos con el Estado tiene que meditar que esto está ocurriendo, para Panamá lo más importante es mitigar el impacto en la actividad portuaria. Balboa y Cristóbal se van a volver a licitar, es una oportunidad para un reordenamiento y hacer una oferta diferente al mercado”, insiste el ex presidente de la Cámara Marítima de Panamá. El gobierno panameño anunció que la compañía danesa Maersk asumiría de manera temporal la administración de las terminales portuarias hasta una nueva concesión.

Hoy recibimos a la historiadora y escritora Sanda Parente, a la que ya entrevistamos hace 8 años por su ópera prima sobre Calígula. En esta ocasión, Mikel Carramiñana habla de nuevo con ella sobre la novela que acaba de publicar, “Las máscaras de Julia (Desperta Ferro, 2025) que nos habla no de una sino de dos Julias, la hija, la única biológica, de Augusto, y de la hija de esta, Julila, más conocida como Julia la menor. Julila se preguntará si todo lo que se contó sobre su madre, y el motivo de su destierro, son ciertos. Charlamos con la autora sobre la familia imperial, y la apariencia virtuosa que Augusto se empezó en predicar pero nunca en cumplir. La segunda propuesta nos lleva a conocer a Berenguela de Castilla, cuyo reinado no llegó a un mes de duración, pero que siguió siendo determinante para la política de su reino. Una figura secundaria pero fundamental para un momento trascendental de la Edad Media, la unión definitiva de las coronas de León y Castilla en el siglo XIII. Será de la mano de Pello Larrinaga, escoltado por el inquisidor. Finalmente, en la sección que recordamos de anteriores programas, hablamos de El Dorado. Fue el sueño de multitud de conquistadores, encontrar (y tomar claro) la mítica ciudad construida en oro que les haría infinitamente ricos y poderosos. Francisco Pizarro, Diego de Almagro o Vasco Núñez de Balboa son solo algunos de los nombres que atendieron a las leyendas indígenas que aseguraban la existencia de un enclave donde el oro brotaba por doquier. De todo esto hablaremos en unos Misterios de la historia dedicados a reflexionar sobre la existencia real de El Dorado.

Founded in 1948, the nationally renowned Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach has had many roles over the decades: a haunt for some of the biggest Hollywood stars, a stop for every Republican U.S. President since Dwight Eisenhower (Nixon even set up an office there complete with a hotline to the Kremlin), a venue for some of Newport's biggest charity events, and a refuge for families, professionals and others.It's become as much a part of the city's fabric as the Balboa Pavilion, the Balboa Island Ferry, and the Wedge.Here's the story about the origins of the storied Balboa Bay Club.

In this empowering message, Ps. Dana commissions the church to come out of familiarity and step into our God-given authority. Her message reenacts the scene from the upper room where 120 people who were of one mind, one spirit, and one focus got filled with the Holy Spirit and released a sound that transformed the entire city. She reminds us that miracles did not stop at the book of Acts and that the work and the ministry of the gospel is not just for pastors, but for everyone who is empowered by the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Kent Merrell, author of the book The Conquest of Liberty. Meet A. Kent Merrell, a man whose creative spark has ignited award-winning advertising campaigns, inspired global leadership talks, and now fuels the pages of his vivid historical fiction. With his latest book, The Conquest of Liberty, Kent invites readers on a rollicking journey through the reformation in Europe, the discovery of the New World, and the dramatic fall and liberation of the Inca Empire. His storytelling, steeped in travels to far-flung lands and two years living atop the Andes, breathes life into history with a flair only a master of “ideas that work” could muster.   Kent's creative journey kicked off in a small Utah town, where he co-founded an advertising agency fresh out of Brigham Young University. His knack for crafting messages that make phones ring and perceptions shift drew heavyweights like Disney, VISA International, HBO, and Comcast to his doorstep. Recognized as a creative trendsetter in direct marketing, Kent's trophy case boasts 27 international awards, and his creative presentation expertise has lit up stages from Europe to Latin America. In the mid-1980s, a Madison Avenue legend advised him to stay in Utah, promising the work would come—and it did, in spades.   But Kent's story isn't just about ads that pop. Leadership runs deep in his veins, sparked by watching his father, an entrepreneur with no formal power, wield profound influence through honorable character. After his father's passing when Kent was 16, he devoured leadership books and seized every chance to lead—from Boy Scout troops to serving as President of Utah's Vocational Industrial Clubs of America in high school. Later, Dr. V. Dallas Merrell tapped him to transform “Leading Global Principles” into accessible wisdom, crystallizing Kent's understanding of influence and impact. Whether guiding corporate giants or mentoring youth, Kent's leadership is as creative as his advertising, always aiming to inspire and engage. Kent's take on leadership brings with it tasty chocolate chip cookie recipes with each leadership principle. Soon to be published will be the first ever delicious leadership recipe book “Leaderchip Cookies.   Now, Kent channels his global adventures and creative prowess into historical fiction. His debut, The Blade of Safavid, whisks readers across Ancient England, Persia, India, Africa, and the Americas. The Conquest of Liberty continues this tradition, blending meticulous research with storytelling zest. When he's not penning epics, Kent's busy with his wife of 46 years, raising five children and doting on 22 grandchildren. Follow his literary adventures at www.kentmerrellauthor.com or catch his broader musings at www.kentmerrell.substack.com.   With Kent, expect a tale well-told and a legacy that inspires.   In my book review, I stated The Conquest of Liberty is a detailed, many POV, Renaissance historical fiction. We follow the journey of several people - all of whom have incredible stories - and it isn't until the very end that we find out how all of these stories wind together into one. I was immediately hooked despite knowing next to nothing about the Moors, monarchs, and monks of the time.   Kent is a master at creating characters. For instance, Miguel, an archbishop's right hand man who lives in Granada should be very foreign to me. But within a few pages, I felt as if he were alive in my living room as he fled persecution, was kidnapped by pirates, and found himself questioning both his King and his Pope. Then, there is Alessandro, a young boy in the care of Balboa, the explorer, Maria, a women who fled her home and lived with the Gitanos, and Vano, the next leader of the Gitanos, not to mention Sayyida al-Hurra, a Morracan Privateer, Jalaf Morisco, a Morracan Exile, and Talavera, the Archbishop accused of heresy.   This novel is far more than a historical fiction - it contains within the pages action, adventure, mystery, and love.

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1. Young Ed was studying at UC Davis and exploring his sexuality. He didn't consider himself bisexual, and instead thought that everyone was fluid. But he thought he had made a choice—that is, to be heterosexual. Part of that decision is that Ed always wanted a family of his own, and therefore, partnering with a woman was the only way to achieve that. But between relationships with women, Ed would visit “cruise-y bathrooms,” places known for their hookup potential. This was before the internet and smartphones. Stuff like this was word-of-mouth and need-to-know. But during his visits, Ed never hooked up with anyone. He says that he merely wanted to be adjacent to that world. After he graduated, Ed stayed in Davis. One day over coffee with a female friend at a lesbian cafe, his friend told him that she might be bi. He said he might be, too. She suggested that they “go to this club in San Francisco” where they could scratch that itch, so to speak. Ed says that The Box remains the most diverse array of folks in the LGBTQIA+ community he has ever been part of. And it wasn't diverse only on the sexuality spectrum. There were folks from all over the gender spectrum, too, he says. Ed watched men of various ethnic backgrounds dancing with one another and thought, ‘Why are those straight guys dancing with each other? Wait, they're not straight. Wait, I'm not straight.' So now he knew. But the question of whether and how to come out was a totally separate question. It was the mid-Nineties. Coming out was, in Ed's words, “really fucking scary.” He remembered that his dad, who has since come around and is loving and accepting of who his son is, often used homophobic slurs casually when Ed was a kid. Still, Ed summoned the courage and started telling folks. His mom was cool. His dad and brother were cool, too, but also probably confused. His friends shrugged him off in a very “no duh” kinda way. But there was that one member of his friend group for whom the news seemed not to sit well. Brad had been Ed's friend since seventh grade back in Hawaii. Three months after coming out to his friends, Brad let Ed know that he, too, wanted to come out of the closet, but that Ed had stolen his thunder. Laughs all around. Going back to that night at The Box, Ed met someone and they started dating. His new partner lived in Berkeley and Ed moved in (they had a roommate). Then Ed and that first boyfriend moved to the Tenderloin together, followed by a move to the Mission. Ed got a job teaching at Balboa High School in The City. He says he was so young (23) and blended in with students enough that on his first day, the principal at Balboa told him to get to class. Again, belly laughs. Ed loved teaching and did well at it. He lasted at Balboa from 1996 to 2001, teaching English as a second language to students from all over the world. The conversation shifts to the moment when Ed realized that San Francisco was home. Despite being here so long (since the mid-Nineties), Ed feels that SF is one of several places for him. Hawaii will always hold a place in his heart. He says that his sense of adventure and curiosity have him roaming around to other cultures regularly. But being married and having kids of his own grounds him in The City. One of his two children experiences mental health challenges, so that makes leaving tricky. All of that and community. Community keeps him here. I get it. One space Ed finds community is at The Social Study, where we recorded. It's his neighborhood bar, the place where bartenders know his drink without him ordering it. The spot where other regulars and semi-regulars ask him details about his life. Sure, he could find that in another part of town or in another city altogether. But right now, that community is his. And he relishes it. There's also his work. Aside from classroom teaching, Ed did some after-school work, education philanthropy work, and some other education-related jobs. Early in the pandemic, his non-binary older kid struggled. Ed says that in hindsight, he wished he had taken his child out of “Zoom school.” He wanted the kid to pick one topic, whatever they wanted, and learn that. They would spend time outside and hang out together. But that's not what happened. The teacher in Ed pushed his kid, over and over. Ed and his partner were able to find support groups around SF and the Bay Area that work with children who exhibit mental health issues. That helped, but he eventually realized that his own parenting needed help and support, because it wasn't meeting the moment. He sought that help, but wasn't impressed. He says it was mostly folks telling him what he was doing wrong, instead of being supportive and uplifting and actually teaching him. He found a couple of tools that served as Band-Aid solutions, but he was left looking and looking and looking for answers. He needed help that acknowledged and addressed his own traumas. And so he began working more or less on his own. One of his first discoveries was recognizing a moment, however short and fleeting, between his kid's stimulating action or words and Ed's reaction. If he could interrupt that automatic reaction and gain control of his own emotions, it would serve both himself and his kid. He worked on stretching out that time … from one second to two seconds and eventually to five. Once he got there, he could respond thoughtfully and lovingly vs. reacting. Realizing that he was able to overcome his shortcomings as a parent all on his own lead to Ed's founding of The Village Well. He'd met others who were aligned with his parenting experiences. He knew that if they created a space where folks in their situations could come for comfort and sharing and advice, they'd be doing the right thing.
