Marcelo Magallon<p>Una de las cosas que me preocupan de la elección en EEUU, aparte de las consecuencias para el cambio climático 🔥🌎🔥, es que estas cosas tienden a pasar en oleadas y en este momento las cosas no pintan bien.</p><p>Uno podría decir que <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/CostaRica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CostaRica</span></a> y <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/Argentina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Argentina</span></a> se adelantaron eligiendo demagogos populistas como presidentes antes que los EEUU, pues normalmente van en la cola. En México todavía está por verse qué senda va a tomar eso. De El Salvador mejor ni hablemos. Hay otras elecciones, y otros populistas, en la fila en Latinoamérica.</p><p>En Europa, <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/Francia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Francia</span></a> y <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/Alemania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alemania</span></a> están dando signos de ir por ese rumbo, y Alemania en particular tendrá elecciones adelantadas a inicios del próximo año. Sin un liderazgo como el de Merkel que se opuso a Trump, y Francia siendo incapaz de llenar ese vacío, Trump puede ocasionar estragos a nivel mundial.</p><p>Acá en Costa Rica ya prácticamente estamos otra vez en elecciones, y las cosas se perfilan mal. La gente no votará otra vez por el <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/PAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PAC</span></a>, no porque lo hayan hecho particularmente mal, sino porque les dijeron que el PAC ya no existe y eso se cimentó como verdad. Del <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/PLN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PLN</span></a> no se puede esperar nada (los "liderazgos" jóvenes son neoconservadores, en algunos aspectos peor que los viejos). El <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/PLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PLP</span></a> no tiene nada que mostrar (la agenda que propusieron era mayormente legislativa, y ahí han hecho exactamente nada, a menos que salga el borracho necio hablando de que eliminaron aranceles a la cerveza importada). El rechazo genético de los ticos al <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/FA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FA</span></a> sigue ahí instalado (en las municipales perdió escandalosamente en cantones donde debió ganar con facilidad)…</p><p>Eso nos deja con una colección de partidos que han hecho del odio, en muchas variantes, su bandera oficial y a como pintan las cosas globalmente, parecen tener algún chance de ganar. Tal vez lo que nos salve es que todavía falta un poco más de un año y eso nos permita ver a dónde lleva ese camino.</p><p>☹️</p>
