The Politics of the PutinCould His Ukraine Bullying Backfire? February 27, 2022 – Russia may capture the Ukraine capital, but the well-armed opponent could become Vladimir Putin's Afghanistan. “He's asking for trouble,” former longtime Russian correspondent Will Englund says. “You'll have a guerilla war.”
Hoy en Día a Día, comenzamos conversando con el reportero de The Washington Post, Will Englund, sobre los daños causados por el huracán Ida en EE.UU: “Se estima que los ciudadanos de Nueva Orleans estarán sin electricidad entre 3 y 4 semanas… La gente no tendrá refrigeradores, aire acondicionado y las estaciones de gasolina no podrán bombear combustible”, dijo. Con el analista político y especialista en negociación y manejo de conflictos, Igor Cuotto Arellano, hablamos sobre la decisión de la Plataforma Unitaria de participar en las próximas elecciones: “La pregunta es para qué se está participando: ¿Para ganar unas alcaldías y gobernaciones? ¿Para demostrar que somos mayoría los que queremos un cambio político en el país?... Dependiendo del objetivo de participar en las elecciones también va a depender el discurso de la oposición”, explicó. Arellano destacó “Si se genera una expectativa de que con estas elecciones vamos a solucionar los problemas del país, hay que tener cuidado porque probablemente esa expectativa no se cumpla”. El director Ejecutivo Nacional de Médicos Unidos de Venezuela, Jaime Lorenzo, nos habló sobre la petición de la ONG al gobierno a que declare la emergencia nacional tras la expansión de la variante Delta: “Con la llegada de la pandemia, todas las fallas del sistema de salud se han elevado exponencialmente y no hay una respuesta adecuada… Esta variante bien podría ser una variante propia de Venezuela, porque los virus están mutando en todos los países”, dijo, y destacó: “Los antivacunas no tienen un terreno fértil en Venezuela. Más bien tenemos a una ciudadanía que cree que la vacuna es la respuesta para parar esta enfermedad”. Desde Quito nos atendió el reportero de Teleamazonas, Fausto Yépez, para hablarnos sobre el expresidente del Banco Central de Ecuador: “Pedro Delgado Campaña era un funcionario primo del expresidente Correa… Semanas antes de que Delgado Campaña saliera del país, se denunciaron algunos temas de corrupción que lo vinculaban directamente, como la falsificación de su título de economista”, explicó. Sobre el informe de gobierno del presidente López Obrador, conversamos con el analista Internacional Fausto Pretelin: “México sigue estando en una situación crítica desde el punto de vista de la seguridad… A pesar de lo que dice López Obrador, ahora hay más pobres, hay más inseguridad y no hay estrategia contra el crimen organizado”, comentó. Pretelin añadió que “Lo peor de todo es que la gente que ha estado al frente de esta crisis sanitaria en México han sido personas mediocres y mentirosas”. Y para cerrar, el sociólogo especializado en Medio Oriente, Kevin Ary Levin, nos habló sobre la situación entre Afganistán y EE.UU: “El gobierno estadounidense destacó que a pesar de que la presencia estadounidense en el país se termina, EE.UU cuenta con las herramientas para proteger a esas personas que están afuera… Los esfuerzos de evaluación, aunque fueron más de 120.000 personas en pocos días, muestran cierto grado de improvisación”, dijo.
