Argentine Senator Harshly Criticizes EU Ambassador Nominee

Buenos Aires, February 26 (NA) – National Senator for Santa Cruz José María Carambia justified his vote against the approval of Fernando Iglesias's nomination as ambassador to the European Union, considering him 'an arrogant, pedantic, and incapable person to perform the function.'

'In our view, that is why we will vote negatively. He is a pedantic, arrogant man, incapable of performing the function, and when people like that sometimes end up in such important positions, it seems to me that it will create more problems than anything else,' expressed Carambia, with little patience.

To make matters worse, he added: 'That is why we will go against this delusional, arrogant, and pedantic man.'

The lapidary reasons put forward by the opposition legislator provoked ironic laughter in the Peronist bloc, who welcomed the forcefulness of the santacruceño's expressions.

Finally, Iglesias's candidacy for ambassador to Belgium and the European Union was approved with 38 affirmative votes, 31 negative votes, and one abstention, as reported by the Argentine News Agency.

Argentina in Crisis: Corporate Situation Continues to Worsen

In the current concept of wellness, the focus is not just on physical health, but on emotional management. Behavioral psychology explains that in unpredictable environments, people seek microstructures that provide a sense of control. A repeated daily ritual organizes time, reduces uncertainty, and creates symbolic boundaries. What seems trivial—nightly journaling or a skincare routine—is, in fact, an emotional architecture. In modern production systems, employees are no longer just a number; they are seen as individuals whose work performance varies according to their physical and emotional balance. It's no longer about 'going on vacation' for an energy reset, but about integrating mental health into the employer's corporate strategy, with policies and resources that prevent burnout and foster resilience. Planning is not improvising, and it impacts the bottom line. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that for every dollar invested in wellness programs, companies save in medical costs. The ROI is tangible: the más humano foundation reports a 25% improvement in performance, and Gallup confirms that companies with high engagement achieve 21% more profitability and 41% less absenteeism. According to the WHO, mental health is a state that allows one to cope with stress and work productively. To achieve this, companies must create environments that reduce psychosocial risks. The Spanish CERMI committee defines it clearly: planning means designing structured actions with concrete phases. 'Burnout doesn't wait. That's why we insist that self-care is a strategic decision,' states Víctor Dosoretz. The latest Aon survey shows that 87% of organizations have wellness initiatives. The McKinsey Health Institute points out that a positive work experience is linked to better health and innovation, while burnout is linked to excessive demands. Hyperconnectivity leads to stress and emotional exhaustion, and the WHO warns of an increase in anxiety and depression disorders, especially among young people.
