The race to become the president's biggest flatterer
When the president speaks, there is a line of flatterers ready to applaud him. But not all praise is equal: some take the prize for voluntary humiliation. Within the circles of power, the competition over who bows down with the most devotion has intensified, and specific names are being called out bluntly.
The names making the rounds in the corridors of power
Among the most frequently mentioned figures is Félix Bolaños, the Minister of the Presidency, whose gratitude toward the boss is constant. There is also a character nicknamed Falconeti, who according to some is the «bloody master» of subservience. Others point to the «milkman», described as a socialist and a psychopath, as a serious contender in the art of brown-nosing.
The role of the media
Even television channels like La Sens, traditionally aligned with the government, seem to have jumped off the bandwagon of unconditional flattery, according to critics. Meanwhile, at the grassroots level, the brown-nosing reaches absurd heights.
With such a level of competition, one has to wonder whether the president needs an opposition when he has his flock so well fed.
