In Spain the complaint is usually political corruption: contracts being given to companies owned by politicians' friends (or even by the politicians themselves.) It stands alone as a phrase rather than fitting gramatically like enchufado does, but is definitely the right register/connotation. On the other hand I might say I got a job through an "enchufe" which I would translate literally as a "connection" | |
