(CNN) – Russia is converting into an important car carrier against Latin America’s covenant, a medium that could have lasting consequences in the configuration of the post-pandemic world and affect the prestige of the United States and the region.
If Moscow enforces protests in its countries and conducts human rights issues in the United States, France, United Kingdom, Canada and other Western countries, these issues have been widely criticized in American Latin, according to a recent peer-reviewed publication of the Russian Sputnik V in The Lancet, the chief medical officer of Gran Bretaña, was widely celebrated.
Eduardo Valdés, a former diplomat and member of the Frontline of All Coalition, who is now chairing the Committee of the External Relations Committee of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, says that there is a clear line between the negotiations on vacancies and the facts of vacancies.
“Now is not the time to pursue an ideology.” “Our objective is that the occidental hemisphere obtains its vacancies and is not located in the internal support of another person,” CNN said.

Miran in Moscow looking for help
Although historically it has been seen as the “geopolitical path” geopolitical of Washington, Latin America recovers more than once in Moscow in search of help to prevent the pandemic. Six regions of the region (Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Venezuela) are authorized for the use of the Sputnik V vehicle. Others are considered as authorization applications, which are more urgent than the global evacuation of vacancies.
The case of Colombia is an example: Bogotá, the most important regional ally of the United States, is now in the process of authorizing both Sputnik V, a decision that has been widely debated in the federal alignment between some sectors of the governing coalition of the United States. Last week, members of President Ivan Duque’s party’s party, the Center for Democracy, rightly criticized Putin’s participation in Latin America.

But when the country meets its vacancies in the mano at the end of January, Duque appears to have decided to let go of the ideology. The day after the publication of The Lancet on Sputnik V, Colombia announced that it was initiating negotiations with Russia.
Less than three months ago, Bogotá had expelled some Russian officials in clear circumstances. According to CNN’s Leonid Sboiko, first secretary of the Russian embassy in Bogotá. The Ministry of Health of Colombia is commenting on the state of negotiations.

In any case, the agreement of the vacancy could be a step to save the things. «Ambos paises quieren pasar pagina. Fue klaaglik, but we would like to continue adelante », says Sboiko, and aggregated:« Cooperation in vacancies is the most urgent topic at this moment and will positively influence bilateral relations ».
Sboiko told CNN that the Russian Direct Inversion Fund (RDIF), which runs Sputnik V’s commercialization, presented last week an emergency authorization application to the Colombian medical agency INVIMA, and there are 14 to go back to back.
“Creo que tuvieron que tragarse el orgullo y comprar la vacuna sin importar a quién se la compranan. And the Russians acted with enormous pragmatism, “said CNN’s Juan Carlos Ruiz, professor of Exterior Relations at the University of Bogotá of Bogotá.
Colombia will begin evacuations this week, receiving 50,000 doses as the first Pfizer issue.
The ease of negotiating
The need to obtain more vacancies is with urgency in the region. Latin American countries are among the most affected worldwide by the pandemic, but have not yet begun large-scale evacuation campaigns, with limited exceptions.
According to the University of Oxford, the United States of America has dispensed less than two doses of each vaccine against the coronavirus per 100 people, compared with five doses per 100 people in the EU and more than 14 doses per about 100 people in EE.UU.
Russia’s disposition to conclude agreements is key to defining the vacancy in Latin America just now, says Danil Bochkov, expert on international relations of the Russo Council of International Asuntos.
«Always it is easier to deal with the situation with a private company, which has to cover the risky risks of losing money. It’s easier to negotiate with state-owned enterprises, especially when pursuing political goals, “Bochkov told CNN.
Valdés, the Argentine legislator, says that the negotiations with Moscow were more difficult than with Pfizer, to which the Argentine governor initially planned to buy vacancies.
“When we consider the contract, we evaluate that the tenant Pfizer does not comply with the legal protocols that we hope,” said Valdés. “We communicate with the Russians and the President [de Argentina] “Alberto Fernandez is directly related to Putin, and these things are accelerating,” he told CNN.
Argentina has an asta-ahora-hasta of 25 millone de dose de la vacuna Sputnik and a dispensado of 600,000 doses. Mientras tanto, todavía est esperando dispensar la primera vacuna Pfizer.
In a statement to CNN, Pfizer said the compromised company was working with the Argentine government, but said it would not comment on the state of confidential negotiations.
The Peruvian and Brazilian regional authorities have also raised issues in negotiations with Pfizer, additionally debiting some of the liability clauses and solicitation, and finally recruiting other vacancies: Sinopharm of China manufacturing in Peru and Coronavac and Astra.
In addition to the facilitation of negotiations, the most important factors that worked to favor Sputnik V’s propaganda in Latin America, including analysts and legislators involved in the purchase of vacancies in Argentina and Bolivia: Sputnik V is easy and relatively easy to almacenar.
Including the commencement of the negotiations, the RDIF enumerates the price of Sputnik V approximately US $ 10 per dose, approximately the average price of the Pfizer vaccine, which costs US $ 19.50 per dose. Latin American economies have experienced severe pandemic and some likely aberration are more than welcome by administrators and politicians.
The Russian vacuum can also be maintained at a temperature of 2 to 8 ° C and does not require the ultracongelating temperature to which the Pfizer vacuum is located. The Mayor of Latin America is taking care of the infrastructure to maintain ultra-congested temperatures, especially in rural areas with limited access by car.
Other private manufacturing vacancies, such as those of AstraZeneca and Modern, were not sold in large quantities in Latin America, while countries such as Brazil, Chile and Mexico were inverted in Chinese manufacturing vacancies.
All over the world, 26 countries have approved the Sputnik V evacuation.
What Russia can do
Diplomats and analysts in Buenos Aires, Bogotá and La Paz say that the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, will now receive benefits from the promotion of vacancies, potentially as a global presentation tool for initiating new relations.
Según Andrés Serbin, President of the Regional Coordinator of Social and Economic Investigations (CRIES), a group of experts in foreign policy in Buenos Aires, the interests of Russia and Latin America are politicians, to compete with the hegemony of the United States in the world occidental, and expansion markets for Russian property companies. Vender la vacuna sirve para objos objective.
“Russia has a great deal to do with the vaccine: in the last few years, Russia has rediscovered Latin America, because of its ideology its objective is to question the norms and values of the international liberal order, Latin America is a particular sensitive government.” is objective », says Serbin.
Russia as much as China can increase its reputation after years of confrontation with the EU. and the UE, and the World Health Care Provider’s paper is a perfect opportunity for a positive public relations campaign. As Bochkov’s dice, “Russia has dominated Sputnik V as a diplomatic instrument has now.”
Commercially, millions of vacancies also tend to receive multimillion-dollar gains, some of the most important for the Russian economy, which has been affected by Western sanctions in recent times.
In contrast, the western way of distributing vacancies on the menu has an introspective appearance. In addition, Great Britain and the EU are working on the distribution of vacancies, while the White House has increased the number of vacancies to a total of 7 available doses for each stadium, including data collected by the University of Duke.
“The difference is that the United States is working to obtain vacancies mainly for vacancies in the United States. Others like Russia and China are looking to establish relations with the United States, “said CNN’s Pablo Solon, Bolivia’s former United Nations leader.
