History and Politics Camilo Gómez

My conversation with Naty T. Smith the co-host of the Money on the Left podcasts about the Constitutional Referendum in Chile. We talk on the causes of the defeat of the proposal for a new constitution which would have replaced the one from the Pinochet era from the origins of the new Constitutional Convention and the controversies it followed to day of the final vote.

My conversation with Brianna Coyle a former activist at the Libertarian Party. We talk about the takeover of the Libertarian Party by the Mises Caucus and why this right-turn could mean for the party regarding elections as well as the paths for former members leaving the party.

Conversation with Nassreddin Taibi from Europe Elects about European Politics. We talk about the political reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine as well as how Europe is facing challenges like immigration and climate change. 

I talked with Natalie Smith an American based in Chile and co-host of the Superstructure Podcast. We talk about Chilean politics from the social explosion in 2019, Chile under lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Constitutional Convention and the general elections at the end of this year that likely would put the insurgent leftist Gabriel Boric against the far-right José Kast.

My conversation with Alex Bare an International Relations graduate and Fulbright in Colombia to talk about the protests in Colombia. We talk particularly about the role of indigenous people, Afro-Colombian community, feminist activists, the LGBTQ movement as well as student organizations and unions in the massive protests. We talk about the role of the tax reform, the COVID-19 crisis, police brutality, the complexities of the peace process and the proximity of the presidential election are related to the difficulty to end of the protests.
