ANÁLISIS | Así fue cómo el presidente de Colombia Gustavo Petro encontró su oportunidad en Washington

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:27:42 GMT

Bogotá, Colombia (CNN) — Una regla eterna en la hospitalidad es que las conversaciones incómodas deben evitarse a toda costa, al menos hasta que sea la hora del postre. No querrás que tus invitados tengan un mal sabor de boca antes de servir la cena.La misma regla bien podría aplicarse en la política, ya que los líderes a menudo se enfocan primero en “puntos en común” con sus contrapartes en lugar de adoptar una postura de confrontación cara a cara.La semana pasada, cuando el presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, recibió en la Casa Blanca a su homólogo colombiano, Gustavo Petro, un exguerrillero de izquierda y crítico frecuente del compromiso internacional de EE.UU., los dos hombres hicieron exactamente eso, promocionando sus puntos en común y disimulando las diferencias.La reunión se produjo cuando una serie de visitas diplomáticas arrojó luz sobre América Latina como una región estratégica, con el canciller ruso Sergey Lavrov recorriendo Brasil, Venezuela, Nicaragua y Cub...

That is a broad mandate in our Constitution.”“…So that means, yes, we are the revenue administrator — which is a nicer way of saying ‘tax collector,'” Lierman grinned. “But it’s also about how we spend our money. This agency sees every dollar in and every dollar out of our state government.”In addition to being determined to modernize the state’...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:27:42 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Five matches for a “salad bowl.”The Bundesliga title race looks set to go to the final day of the season with only one point separating league leader Borussia Dortmund and 10-time defending champion Bayern Munich.The winner will receive the “Meisterschale” (champion’s bowl), which is commonly referred to as the “salad bowl” because of its appearance.In recent years, Bayern has usually had the bowl in the bag by now. With the exception of 2019, the title race hasn’t been this close at this stage since 2010, when Louis van Gaal’s Bayern team had just taken a one-point lead over Schalke with a 2-1 win over the then-league leaders in Gelsenkirchen.This time, the Bavarian powerhouse is in the unaccustomed role of being a point behind.Bayern enjoyed a 4-2 win over Dortmund in Munich on April 1 but has been misfiring since. It was one of only two wins Bayern has managed in seven games in all competitions since Thomas Tuchel was appointed coach.The decision to fire his predece...
