Petty Politics: Inside Colombia’s First Televised Cabinet Meeting

In this episode, we dive into Colombia’s first-ever televised cabinet meeting, which exposed a chaotic reality: instead of productive discussions about the country’s future, the meeting was filled with petty disputes, political grandstanding, and demagogic speeches. Far from being a space for strategic leadership, it showcased the dysfunction that often defines government institutions.

But this isn’t just about Colombia. Why do people continue to assume that politicians are inherently intelligent or capable just because they hold office? We’ll explore the misplaced trust in elected officials, the myth of political competence, and why holding a title doesn’t necessarily mean having the skills to lead.
