The war in Ukraine is confusing everything. The interpretation of events feeds a growing distrust of the European Union. As many commentators and media reflect, some Latin American governments predict that we should not get where we are. Moscow sympathizers express the opinion that the invasion was a result of Ukraine’s entry into NATO. Admittedly, this was a mistake, but it does not justify a war that responds to the nostalgic nostalgia for the old Russian empire that Putin embodied. Now the problem is that this man, who was already desperate and looking for an exit that he couldn’t find, warns, “This is the most dangerous decade since the Second World War.” Disturbing.
Discontent with war is not unique to Europe. The US is doing well because even though it is already feeling inflation, it sells more gas, more oil, weapons and cutting-edge technology. The rest of America is feeling the consequences of the conflict over the shopping cart and increasingly expensive fuel. Public anger is growing. Everything adds to the uncertainty about the decisive year 2023, which pre-elections in a few stable countries in the region, such as Panama and the Dominican Republic. But above all, in the United States. Biden is out and Trump is crazy to be back. The Democrat will not seek re-election due to his apparent accelerated aging. Attempting to do so would be suicide. Instead, a Republican will stop running for president again only if he is prevented from doing so by the courts or Congress. Legal problems pile up for him because of the treasury, the attempt to falsify the elections, the attack on Congress, and the hiding of classified documents he received from the White House at his home in Florida. It is difficult for him, but in case he is disqualified, a disturbing program of destabilization is already in place, which includes civil disobedience and does not exclude violence against institutions, as seen in the attack on the Capitol. We have now learned that during those critical hours, Trump’s entourage, including his family, tried to cancel the operation; but it cannot be stopped. Five deaths and an image disaster cost crap that could have been much bloodier. The current climate of polarization and hysteria is evidenced by the assassination attempt on House Speaker Democrat Nancy Pelosi. She wasn’t home last Friday, but the aggressive conspiracy theorist injured her husband.
In this growing distrust of Latin America towards Europe, the name of the hope there is Josep Borrell, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security. He is the only real authority speaking and visiting the region. Recently in Argentina and Chile – the son of a Catalan immigrant, who became a nationalized Argentine in honor of his father, born in the foothills of the Andes – the Spanish politician assured that a new time had begun. His statements resonated across the continent. Santo Domingo’s Diario Libre Metro told Borrell last Thursday, “We acknowledge that Latin America and the Caribbean are not getting the strategic attention they deserve from the European side. It’s time to wake up. We propose to deepen our relations,” he said. Exactly a year ago, Borrell had diagnosed the problem in a speech at Next Educacion: “Latin America is not on the radar of the European Union.” He wants to move from diagnosis to treatment urgently. So be it.
