George Clooney was the protagonist of the opening of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival on Wednesday, September 2. The American actor and filmmaker took to the stage of the event to share a reflection on the political situation in the United States.
During his speech, Clooney used the word 'caquistocracy' to describe what he perceives as the current reality of American governance. The term, according to the actor, designates a country governed by the least qualified people.
The actor expressed his opinion that the United States may be going through a moment of caquistocracy. Despite the pointed critique, Clooney expressed optimism by stating that the country will overcome this situation.
