COMPLEMENTARY EXPLANATION: Politics like all human activity is an art, because what is not natural is called artificial or artifice, or art and means something that only humans do, but since the end of the 20th century it has also become an Science, when it investigates and collects evidence of the factors that determined political decisions and the price, value and meaning of these decisions, and is a technology to the extent that the laws became written, and in messages, codes and each speech, law or provision and even repression, human ingenuity was used to reach the crowds. This in the 21st century has many complexities because machines and technology now have extraordinary scope and possibilities,
From this we can say that politics is the art, science and technology of governing cities, but since the time of Greece many cities were states or capitals of states and governing regions from a capital became politics, and of course the states are human populations that accept, reject, or temporarily tolerate a ruler.
Rulers can be leaders, when they are individuals who have the ability to decide for others and this ability is granted by their followers. By deciding for others, it forces its followers to conduct behaviors and these are intended to protect the group, multiply its power, or even lead to its disaster or disappearance.
The most notable Latin American leaders today are undoubtedly Lula, who was the leader of the industrial workers of Brazil or Evo of the indigenous coca growers of Brazil. In Ecuador leaders of groups have not come to power, but in the presidential race is Yaku Pérez who represents the indigenous people affiliated with the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador CONAIE.
Politicians, unlike leaders, are individuals who use art, science and technology to contest an election, these elections can range from the most trivial as a parochial council to the presidency. The politician may or may not be a leader, and his goal is to come to power and try to stay in it, for as long as possible. In Latin America, politicians more than leaders are bold and opportunistic people who take advantage of situations. Among the brightest are Correa, Mujica, Cristina Fernández. but also Piñeras, Duque, Maduro, In the Ecuador elections there is a cloud of opportunistic candidates for president, vice president and assembly members, who are more than a dozen and it is difficult to differentiate them by their speeches, they all offer almost the same with some different nuance.
Mercenary politicians, on the other hand, are those who are candidates for money and risk their fortune or their lives to serve someone or something that will reward them. It is how the Spanish conquerors were, or the North American colonists, who risked their lives for gold, land or for what they could convert into money. These politicians lack conscience, they can kill if necessary, this does not cause them the least remorse, indeed, it is a personal test of their power, of their capabilities.
Among the mercenary politicians in the service of Donald Trump, we have had Lenin Moreno for more than 3 years, who risks his life to look good to the United States, he has unconstitutionally given military bases, this is illegal.
But for the next elections, most of the candidates are mercenaries who are financed or sponsored, or by a rich man like Guillermo Lasso, or by a party that has its days numbered if it loses in the elections, or by the US Embassy.
Andrés Araúz is linked to Rafael Correa, apparently he is not a mercenary, because to fulfill the liberation of those who were his comrades in the Correa government, and he does not lack his conscience. But this can also happen with candidates from other political shops, who believe that they comply with their conscience if they prevent the return of Socialism of the XXI
In order to differentiate a mercenary, a convinced and loyal one from a servile to the rich man or to the Embassy that sponsors them, it is necessary to prove loyalties. Ecuador has experienced the betrayal of the Alianza País mercenaries since 2017, and it has become visible and easier for us to recognize the mercenaries because they are essentially traitors, but they feel loyal to Moreno, but their loyalty costs the country, as For example, the distribution of hospitals, ID cards for the disabled, or companies and public offices, this makes them mercenaries, since they put a price on their votes and loyalties. Mercenaries, whether they are politicians, journalists or the military, have something in common, a price.
