  • La Construcción Del Partido De La Gente: ¿Un Intento Fallido Que Quedará Por El Camino?
    La construcción del Partido de la Gente: ¿Un intento fallido que quedará por el camino? Monografía de grado Licenciatura en Ciencia Política Juan José MORATORIO DATI Tutor: Dr. Felipe MONESTIER 2020 1. Introducción Hoy es un día histórico; hoy ha nacido un nuevo partido; nació de la gente y para la gente; ¡nació el Partido de la Gente! Edgardo NOVICK El Partido de la Gente (PG) se creó el 7 de noviembre del 2016. Su líder y fundador, Edgardo Novick, es un empresario exitoso que en 2015 se había postulado como candidato a intendente de Montevideo por el Partido de la Concertación (PCO), alianza creada por el Partido Nacional (PN) y el Partido Colorado (PC). Las repercusiones generadas por la creación del PG fueron inmediatas. El politólogo Adolfo Garcé se preguntaba: «¿Hasta dónde llegará el “Trump» uruguayo”?» (Garcé, 2016). Para Juan Carlos Doyenart, director de una empresa de opinión pública, era claro que el PG tenía «potencial», entre otras razones, por la existencia de «un sentimiento de descreimiento del electorado en los partidos tradicionales». Para Eduardo Bottinelli, director de la consultora FACTUM, la figura de Novick venía «a llenar un vacío que efectivamente existía» (García, 2016). Además, el nuevo partido parecía despertar entusiasmo y su creación era considerada un hecho positivo por el 65 % del electorado (Montevideo Portal, 2016). La creación del PG representó un hecho novedoso y llamativo en un sistema de partidos altamente institucionalizado1, entre otras razones porque nació con niveles relativamente altos de aprobación. Faltando menos de un año para las siguientes elecciones nacionales, la intención de voto medida por diferentes empresas de opinión pública2 colocaba al PG disputando el tercer lugar con el PC.

  • Latin America Francesco Davide Ragno
    Latin America Francesco Davide Ragno Different twins: the political systems of Argentina and Uruguay tested by primary elections It was 1997 and in Uruguay a constitutional reform was ratified: this introduced the obligation to hold internal elections for political parties (or coalitions of parties) for the selection of candidates for national and local executive bodies (provincial and municipal). They were an open and simultaneous primary elections in which all political movements (intending to participate in subsequent elections) had the obligation to take part. Just over ten years later, in 2009, the Uruguayan legislation in terms of selection of the ruling class, mutatis mutandis, became the basis for the development of the Argentine legislation. PASO (Primarias Abiertas Simultaneas Obligatorias) were introduced as a form of selection of national and local political candidates1. The urns of the primaries in Uruguay and Argentina, which for the first time were held only a few weeks apart, have not been closed long. Primary that gave completely different results reflecting the traits of two intimately different political systems. Although geographical proximity has facilitated interactions and cultural exchanges between the two countries, the political sphere today does not seem to strengthen these connections: so homologation effects produced are very minimal. The candidates On June 30, the primaries were held in Uruguay to select candidates for the presidential elections to be held on October 27th. The main political forces presented multiple pre-candidates. The Frente Amplio, which at the moment expresses the Presidency with Tabaré R. Vázquez, is a great coalition in which they take part from the Movimiento de Participación Popular (MPP) to the Socialist Party passing through the Christian Democratic Party, the Communist Party and other minor movements.

The affliction comes with the necessity to make many decisions that are always needed yesterday while trying to put out fires you did not start. As a result, when I read articles about the need for spiritually and conscious capitalism in the activity of business, it never really gets my attention. I know that I am not alone with this affliction. I am sure that there are many millions of managers on a global basis who have a similar problem. Somehow we seem to succeed without spending one day thinking to much about spirituality of business. My passion of spirituality is reserved for my family and friends, my wife, children and fifteen grandchildren. So I am sorry, dear shareholders, you are far down on the list for my spirituality but you are close to heart when it comes to conscious solutions and wealth creation within the capitalistic system to which I am a sincere subscriber.
