The tragedy of Hassan Nassar, Colombia's propaganda chief [View all]
by Adriaan Alsema November 26, 2020
Fewer than 150 people watched President Ivan Duque‘s COVID show on YouTube on Wednesday as the brainchild of his troubled propaganda chief Hassan Nassar, is failing.
Duque hired the former commentator of government-friendly television network RCN Television in January in the hope Nassar could improve the president’s abysmal approval rating.
The president’s attempts to violently crack down on massive anti-government protests in late 2019 had sunk the far-right president’s approval rating to a record low.
Nassar had always been an outspoken supporter of the president’s political patron, former President Alvaro Uribe, and took the challenge, and failed miserably.
The coronavirus pandemic provided a unique opportunity to position Duque not as a mafia puppet, but a leader.
