Gafes Diplomáticas

“Gafes Diplomáticas” refers to diplomatic blunders or faux pas that occur in formal international relations. The term is derived from the Spanish word “gafe,” which translates to “blunder” or “mistake.” Such incidents typically arise from cultural misunderstandings, inappropriate comments, or socially awkward behavior by diplomats or politicians during official engagements, meetings, or negotiations.

The term underscores the importance of cultural sensitivity, careful communication, and the nuances of international etiquette in global diplomacy.
