El Nobel incómodo y la izquierda descarada
Hay silencios más vergonzosos que otros. Y el que ha guardado la izquierda hemisférica —esa que va desde los campus universitarios de Estados Unidos hasta los palacios presidenciales de México y Colombia— sobre el Premio Nobel de la Paz 2025 otorgado a María Corina Machado, no es simple mutismo ideológico: es una confesión de parte.
TL;DR
- The global left's silence on María Corina Machado receiving the Nobel Peace Prize is seen as an ideological contradiction.
- The article criticizes the semantic normalization of Nicolás Maduro's regime and the 'it's about oil' narrative.
- Figures like John Leguizamo and Michael McWhorter are accused of reducing Venezuela's tragedy to anti-Trump rhetoric.
- Latin American leaders Claudia Sheinbaum and Gustavo Petro are criticized for their lack of congratulatory remarks towards Machado.
- The author invokes Richard Rorty's idea of moral progress through the expansion of solidarity, suggesting the left's failure to show solidarity with Venezuelan victims indicates a loss of moral ground.
