Rita Karanauskas, a business administrator recognized in Colombia for her analysis of non-verbal communication, spoke with Vicky on SEMANA. Karanauskas analyzed the multiple speeches of President Gustavo Petro, the latest of which have been editorially charged, against journalism, political and business sectors.
“Some people, hopefully less and less like Olmedo, think about stealing. Theft in the State will end if we are more vigilant, if we do not sell votes, if we realize that what we should do in life is how to help and not just how to earn more money. Help and not just earn,” said President Petro in his speech on September 22.
“Every policy or reform today affects the interests of very privileged and powerful people. If I want more land to reach the peasants, that land is in the hands of large unproductive landowners who oppose it. If I want more credit for small and medium-sized businesses, for women, for young people, that credit is already concentrated in the hands of large fortunes. If I want more health care and quality education for the majority of people, it turns out that health care and education are privatized and are simple businesses, where only if you have money to give them, you get attention. The public money that is given by the billions goes to these businesses and disappears,” he added.
“When you voted for me it was to change that. Immense state, social or political powers appear on the path to change, trying to prevent it. They sometimes corner us, threaten us, overturn decrees, paralyze bills for months. But we insist and move forward. Only with you active, in the streets, on the networks, without silencing us, do we move forward. Sometimes there is laziness or discouragement, but Colombia was only born and grew with its people fighting,” Petro emphasized.
The full interview with Rita Karanauskas:
According to the analyst, the president has a peculiarity and that is that he speaks about himself in the third person. He says that there are attacks against “the president”, being said president, and, on other occasions, he refers to “me”. According to Karanauskas, when he uses “me” he feels more attacked than when he speaks about himself in the third person.
“I have the following reading, and it is that Petro is very changeable with his emotional states. There are days when he is extremely strong and there are others when he is elevated, his mood is very fluctuating. Many of his speeches depend on his mood, on how he feels that day.” he sentenced.
According to the analyst, President Gustavo Petro’s non-verbal language reveals that he suffers from paranoia. “He feels that he is the leader who leads the people at the cost of his own life. He is very strong and works very well.”. he pointed out. Regarding the alleged sadness that the president expressed when he said that his daughter would leave the country, she has already announced her return, Karanauskas indicated that his words were genuine, he did feel sadness about the fact that his daughter was leaving Colombia. “What connects most with an emotion are his shoulders. Whenever he lowers his head and shoulders, his voice lowers. When he says that he is sad and desolate, it is true. I was analyzing when he said that he was sad and desolate and yes, it is possible to see it.”
Finally, she said, she has analyzed President Gustavo Petro and his statements about journalists who are “mafia dolls,” accompanied by “aggressive” body language, leading her to conclude that, definitely, the president is accustomed to disrespecting women.
