Gundars Aboliņš wrote that power quickly "gets to one's head," especially for people with weaker abilities. As an example, he mentioned Smiltēns' appearance in the media the previous day, where, according to Aboliņš, Smiltēns emphasized his personal contribution rather than the role of the party, team, or Kulbergs. Aboliņš criticized the idea of appointing Smiltēns as foreign minister, claiming that within a week he would undo what Kulbergs had built in the international arena over several months. He also referred to the Dunning–Kruger effect, asking whether lesser competence does not mean greater confidence in one's excellence. #politika #sabiedrība #komunikācija (translated)
