Por qué
insiste Chávez en el tema colombiano
Prender
un conflicto verbal fronterizo le permitiría matar tres pájaros de un tiro
Bajo mi
perspectiva, los motivadores pueden ser múltiples. Algunos probablemente
vinculados a desviar la atención de los problemas nacionales y otros podrían
tener bases racionales, aunque la forma y el estilo presidencial no lo sea.
Partamos por analizar las hipótesis distractivas, seguramente las más
relevantes: el Gobierno prende alarmas ante una caída de popularidad del
Presidente. La crisis económica reciente y el incremento de la sensibilidad
de la población frente a la ineficiencia del Gobierno para resolver sus
problemas básicos han mermado esa variable. Chávez necesita rescatar su
conexión antes de las elecciones y está aplicando un "paquete" para
lograrlo. El aumento de gasto público, el relanzamiento de las misiones y el
adelanto de la campaña forman parte de esa estrategia. No es descabellado
pensar que un componente complementario sea prender un conflicto verbal
fronterizo con Colombia que le permita matar tres pájaros de un tiro.

Cómo el hijo de Pablo Escobar repara por los pecados de su padre
The
Guardian (UK)
How
Pablo Escobar's son atoned for the sins of his father
Colombian drug baron Pablo Escobar was gunned down in 1993. In an exclusive
interview, his son tells Uki Goñi why he had to seek reconciliation with the
children of Pablo's victims
Juan
Escobar was a teenager when he first challenged his father, the most
notorious and brutal drug lord in Colombia's history. "I confronted him
about the deaths attributed to him on the TV news," he recalls now. "He
started calling me 'my 14-year-old pacifist son'. But no one could stop my
father. Not all of Colombia, together with the help of the CIA. So what
could the son of Pablo Escobar do?"

En
Latinoamérica, la compra de armas extiende la desconfianza
Miami
Herald (EE.UU.)
In
Latin America, weapons buying spreads mistrust
Weapons
purchases in Latin America are soaring as nations cast a wary eye on their
neighbors
Whether
it's called an ``arms race'' or a ``coincidental modernization'' of existing
stocks, a wave of weapons purchases by Latin American nations is causing
neighbors to watch each other with growing mistrust and fear.
PROTECTION
Brazil
says it must protect its newfound oil and gas riches. Venezuela says the
U.S. military might attack it. Colombia is worried by Venezuela, Ecuador is
watching Colombia and Paraguay is keeping an eye on Bolivia.
There's
no question that weapons sales around the region are soaring. They almost
doubled in just five years, from $24 billion in 2003 to $47 billion last
year, according to one report by Colombian analyst Javier Loaiza. Others put
the 2008 total at $60 billion.
