98 days ago the name of Mayra Salazar was only recognized by a few: lawyers, judges, politicians and drug traffickers. However, since the explosion Metastasis casebecame the key word in the headlines and a recurring character in daily conversations about the corruption that the prosecutor revealed. Diana Salazar.
This is the key piece of the cases Metastasis and Purge. In the first she was identified as a romantic partner of the murdered drug trafficker, Leandro Norero; and in the second, her chats allowed her to find another crime networkwhich also operated at the top of justice and politics.
In their conversations there are several behaviors that experts identify as a antisocial personality disorder or psychopathy, although they prefer not to refer to a particular person.
What is Mayra Salazar like?
Mayra Salazar has two faces. To most of her contacts she was simply a young 35-year-old communicator. In the private and public positions he assumed, his job consisted of talking to journalists to arrange interviews, provide official information and manage “social and commercial public relations campaigns”, as stated in his resume.
In the registered titles appears a technology in Communication for Television, a degree in Social Communication Sciences and a master’s degree in Strategic Communication.
Furthermore, people who were vaguely related to her in the workplace indicate that she was “conversational, focused on work, friendly and willing to respond at any time”that is, he had the qualities that could be identified as suitable for his profession.
On his social networks, Salazar has quite active accounts. Photos with friends, at social gatherings, walking or delivering donations from the foundation that she is president of, are recurring. He did TikTok dances and shared trademark posts.
However, his private conversations show another person. He expressed his desire to launder money, organized smear campaigns on the networks, He bragged about his relationships with criminals -even with friends close to the son of Mexican drug trafficker Chapo Guzmán-, offered ladies of company.
It was not only what he said, but also what he did. Following the thesis of the fiscal Diana Salazar, the role of the communicator was that of an operator. With his influences he managed to place judges at the convenience of Norero, Pablo Muentes and others. The rulings they requested were issued almost verbatim.
He also had information from the criminal world, for example, he knew that alias ‘Pipo’, leader of the Lobos, was still alive and that he escaped to Europe.
Experts agree that Mayra Salazar’s behaviors fall into a profile of psychopathy
The psychiatrist and former university professor, Carlos Medina Baldassari, says that behaviors such as manipulation, histrionics, narcissism, egocentrism, failure to differentiate between good and evilamong others, could coincide with a picture of psychopathy or antisocial disorder.
In the case of the person prosecuted by the Prosecutor’s Office, following the public chats, it can be seen that she had no remorse for commit crimesOn the contrary, he enjoyed the power and influence he enjoyed.
The clinical psychologist, María Judith López, agrees that these attitudes towards social relationships show a lack of empathy with the environment. However, he clarifies that each case must be analyzed on its individual basis.
Regarding the double life that a person can lead, López clarifies that although it may be a dissociative identity disorderit may also be that by voluntary decision, they maintain different attitudes in specific spaces.
The clinical psychologist Juan Esteban Gómez explains that an antisocial person is a person who is not capable of acting under the norms and concepts of right and wrong in society. In that sense, Mayra Salazar also tried to corrupt the social system: justice, politics and institutions; convinced that she could achieve everything with money and power.
Regarding this, Medina introduces the concepts of political Ponology and pathocracy. In a document he authored from 2023, he establishes that pathocrats are those who have “an insatiable lust for power, they seek affection and social affirmation at all costs.” In his opinion, boasting links with criminals, without any shame, can be a symptom of pursuing the acceptance of those close to him, who could also have similar disorders.
Gómez also indicates that there are different types of psychopathies and that they manifest in each person in a different way or at different times.
Medina explains that these attitudes, in the case of psychopaths“they are inside and at some point they come out.”
Experts agree that these behaviors do not respond to having grown up in violent, dysfunctional homes, socioeconomic deprivation, or any external factor.
Medina also adds that to understand the Metastasis and Encuentro cases, one could resort to the Ponology politics or study of evil. With this, we could understand how these criminal organizations operate to accommodate the criminal actions of dozens of people, protected by a greater power.
