Like every week, more than one and Public Mirror They have connected their broadcasts to analyze current political events, with special attention to the international and national scene. The first issue addressed was Donald Trump’s new focus of interest on Cuba. The US president assured that “it will be an honor for him to take Cuba” and that he will do so soon because it is a very weak country.
Some statements that Susanna Griso has described as “humiliating.” Along the same lines, Carlos Alsina has pointed out that the US president’s tone reflects “disdain” towards Cuban society. The communicator has compared this strategy with his actions in Venezuela, where – according to his analysis – the priority is not so much democracy or political transition as having an interlocutor aligned with Washington’s interests, “what matters is having someone who does what they are told,” he assured.
Alsina has also criticized Trump’s decision-making style, which he has defined as unilateral. In his opinion, the fact that it does not consult or seek international consensus weakens the legitimacy of its actions. As an example, he cited the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, where – as he noted – the scenario would be different if decisions responded to international alliances and a shared strategy, instead of individual initiatives.
In parallel, both communicators have focused on the internal situation in Cuba. Alsina has expressed his desire that the Cuban population can achieve decent living conditions, beyond limitations in terms of freedoms. For his part, Griso has recounted testimonies from personal contacts on the island, which describe a context of strong deterioration: difficulties in preserving food due to power outages, increased insecurity and a drop in tourism. “The feeling is absolute exhaustion,” he summarized.
Pact between PP and Vox in Castilla y León
On a national level, the conversation has also addressed the political scene in Castilla y León. Griso has explained that Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, after his electoral victory, is inclined to govern alone, although without closing the door to a coalition. For Alsina, this position responds to a common logic: whoever wins an election first aspires to govern alone and, in a later phase, negotiates possible support or government agreements.
However, Alsina has highlighted how the existence of a framework document prepared by the PP leadership in which a “distribution of seats” is established for the investiture pacts with Vox greatly conditions Mañueco’s position. Furthermore, he has pointed out the paradox that the Popular Party places emphasis on criticizing the PSOE instead of interpreting the results as support for its own management, in the search to generate expectations for the general elections that are not always met.
Finally, Alsina has highlighted as striking the internal movement in the Andalusian PSOE, where they seek to involve Susana Díaz in support of the candidacy of María Jesús Montero. As she has pointed out, the former Andalusian president has a better relationship with Montero – who was her Treasury advisor – than with the current regional leader, Juan Espadas, to whom she has attributed her departure from the political front line.
