La riqueza de la tolerancia
Sorprende el riesgoso paso hacia la cultura de la cancelación que pudiera estar comenzando a introducirse en nuestro medio. Inició en Europa, la ‘tolerante’ Europa, y pasó hacia Estados Unidos, en donde incluso, no se permitió el ingreso o fueron expulsados de algunas universidades pensadores de ideas contrarias a lo políticamente correcto.
TL;DR
- The 'cancellation culture' is starting to appear in cultural events, originating in Europe and spreading to the US.
- Some invited guests are withdrawing from the Hay Festival Cartagena because Maria Corina Machado, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, is also invited.
- The author questions the justification for boycotting the festival based on Machado's differing political views, especially given her fight against a dictatorship.
- Excluding Machado is seen as contradicting the festival's aim to promote pluralism and freedom of expression.
- Cartagena has a history of hosting diverse individuals, and the festival should embrace this tolerance.
