  • HUMA ABEDIN LA ESTRATEGA DETRÁS Gladys DE HILLARY CLINTON Pérez
    97 BEERS&POLITICS HUMA ABEDIN LA ESTRATEGA DETRÁS Gladys DE HILLARY CLINTON Pérez Gladys Pérez es Coordinadora de Proyectos Estratégicos en el Gobierno del Estado de Jalisco y Directora de Comunicación Institucional en la Consultora Acciones Estratégicas. (@glaperezm) 98 HUMA ABEDIN Huma Mahmood Abedin fue la mano derecha de Hillary Clinton durante el periodo de las campañas presidenciales de 2016. Con 40 años de edad, un reciente divorcio y con la derrota en una de las elecciones más polémicas en la historia de los Estados Unidos, Huma, se convirtió en una de las consultoras políticas más reconocidas a nivel internacional. Ha sido la confidente inseparable de Hillary desde el año 1996, cuando llegó a la Casa Blanca con una plaza de pasante comisionada a la oficina de la entonces Primera Dama. Desde ese momento ha acompañado a Hillary a lo largo de su extensa trayectoria política, en campañas electorales, en el Senado, en la Secretaría de Estado de los Estados Unidos e incluso como asesora en la Fundación Clinton. La cercana labor de Huma Abedin con Clinton abre paso a diversas reflexiones que podrían ser de gran utilidad para los profesionales dentro de la esfera política. La primera de ellas, y una de las más importantes, es que las aspiraciones políticas personales deben siempre separarse del asesoramiento a un político, más aún si el político tiene proyección internacional. Por lo anterior es que difiero de diversos medios y analistas que describen a Abendin como “la sombra” detrás de Hillary. Probablemente lo fue durante varios años, pero en un momento tan clave como lo fue la contienda presidencial de 2016, a Huma se le expuso constantemente a los medios de comunicación.
