For some strange reason (maybe influenced by Virginia Woolf’s stream of consciousness technique), I’ve linked Maradona’s and Gene Hackman’s deaths. Both celebrities, both millionaires, yet both died alone, abandoned to their fate. Prosecutors have described Maradona’s final days as the “horror theatre”. Disorder, no medical items in his untidy bedroom, Seguir leyendo
On April 2, 2013, my city La Plata was flooded. Daniel Scioli was Buenos Aires Province governor at the time. We still don’t know for sure how many people died. Many platenses lost absolutely everything. Now, Bahía Blanca. The current governor: Axel Kicillof. A devastated city, 16 people dead and Seguir leyendo
Good manners are conspicuous by their absence in the Milei administration. And we all know the fish rots from the head down. Who’s the head? President Milei (same as Trump) is quite fond of hate speech, and calls people who dare criticise him: rats, crooks, eco- phonies, mandrills, parasites, microphone Seguir leyendo
Kim, a seven-year-old girl, was killed in La Plata by two minors a few days ago. It goes without saying that both of them have police criminal records. But the Kirchnerite “revolving door” exit policy has always benefitted criminals, to the detriment of good citizens. Buenos Aires Province Governor Axel Seguir leyendo
There’s a song by Elton John which suits President Javier Milei’s attitude: “Sorry seems to be the hardest word.” Why can’t he just apologise for his mistakes, for his more than frequent “faux pas”? I believe Milei has become his worst enemy nowadays, much worse than the opposition. He’s so Seguir leyendo
The ‘Ficha Limpia’ (“Clean record”) anti-corruption bill has just been backed by the Chamber of Deputies. Peronists in general and Kirchnerites in particular love victimising themselves, stating that they are being “proscribed.” Actually, this bill only affects people with confirmed corruption convictions in the second instance, blocking them from running Seguir leyendo
US President Donald Trump has denied the existence of trans, non-binary and intersex people. Why? Just because. How would he react if one of his sons or daughters were gay, I wonder. Would he lock him/her up in a dark cellar? It goes without saying that his brand-new administration will Seguir leyendo
“LLA” stands for “La Libertad Avanza” (Freedom Advances). Actually, I have the feeling that these days freedom in Argentina is going backwards, not forwards. It’s clearly receding. When President Milei equated the LGBTQIA+ community with child abuse to an audience of world leaders at DAVOS (“in its most extreme version, Seguir leyendo
Three Israeli hostages – Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari – have been re leased by Hamas, 471 days after being kidnapped. We all saw them, hugging their relatives and friends, crying their hearts out after this endless nightmare. I wonder how they will cope with the evitable trauma. Seguir leyendo
“Almost 10 years on from his death in mysterious circumstances at a Buenos Aires tower block, a new report published by prosecutors in Argentina has concluded that Alberto Nisman was killed”, I read in this same paper. Wasn’t this obvious from square one? Did anyone really think Nisman had killed Seguir leyendo
