México ante la invasión de Rusia a Ucrania: posiciones e incoherencias

KASBLog: análisis y opinión

Aunque México ha apoyado y orquestado resoluciones que exigen el cese inmediato de la invasión de Rusia a Ucrania, en las últimas semanas la posición enérgica del inicio se ha diluido. Acciones recientes del gobierno mexicano han despertado la duda en países socios respecto a de qué lado se encuentra, lo que el propio gobierno ruso ha utilizado a su favor, en un momento con una marcada polarización a nivel global donde poco a poco dejan de existir puntos intermedios y se está claramente de un lado o del otro. En este contexto, la falta de coherencia en la posición del gobierno mexicano podría ocasionar costos políticos y económicos a futuro para el país.

Galizischer Regionalpräsident Alberto Núñez Feijóo ist neuer PP-Vorsitzender

Auf dem außerordentlichen Parteitag der Partido Popular in Sevilla wurde Alberto Núñez Feijóo am 2. April 2022 von 98,35% der Delegierten zum neu-en Parteivorsitzenden gewählt. Der Galizier will Ministerpräsident Pedro Sánchez bei den kommenden Parlamentswahlen, die spätestens im Herbst 2023 stattfinden werden, besiegen. Mit einem neuen Parteivorstand will er zugleich Kompetenz und Kontinuität vermitteln, aber auch ein größeres Mit-spracherecht der Regionalverbände ermöglichen. Angesichts des zersplitter-ten und polarisierten Parteiensystems und der politischen Krisenherde wird sich zeigen, ob Feijóos Strategie, mit einer ausgleichenden Politik der Mitte die kommenden Wahlen zu gewinnen, aufgeht.
