Alberto Baena
Alberto Baena is a sociologist known for his critical insights into the socio-economic implications of major events in Mexico. Recently, he commented on the potential misuse of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as a 'smokescreen' to divert attention from ongoing crises in the country, including economic struggles and violence. Baena argues that such events often serve to project an image of stability that contrasts starkly with the underlying issues faced by the population, reflecting the disconnect between government narratives and the realities of everyday life for many Mexicans.
