Media / On "Palabras sacan palabras" of Radio Futuro, Pedro Mujica is interviewed.

Why does the radical populist right win? In Words of Pedro Mujica, the radical right is a product of the traditional right itself, it accesses power through popular voting, but upon reaching power, democratic rollbacks begin. They are the same right-wing leaders who begin to erode power and appeal to dividing society into two groups, the enemies and the virtuous groups that come to «save a country,» the same populist discourse. Then it cHow the victories of Trump or Milei are explained, according to Pedro, stems from the political parties' inability to process social transformations.

A phenomenon that is on the rise in Europe and has taken root in Latin America. There is a social fracture and a process of exaggerated individualism, which has occurred because there are groups that have been denied and discriminated against, but it is also symptomatic of the contemporary subject, where an appeal is made to the self and an identity and a world of one's own are constructed.
