Pepe Mujica said recently in an interview: «There’s the old [Fernández de] Kirchner in Argentina, at the head of Peronism. Instead of being an elderly mentor and leaving new generations to it, no, she goes screwing around. How difficult it is for her to let the pie go! What a Seguir leyendo
José ‘Pepe’ Mujica said recently in an interview: “There’s the old [Cristina Fernández de] Kirchner in Argentina, at the head of Peronism.

Alberto Fernández’s administration was one of the worst ones ever. The never-ending Covid lockdown was a real nightmare for all of us. Well, all except for him, who (we now know) had a very good time, hanging out with friends and lovers. But karma has no menu: you get served Seguir leyendo

If it were approved, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (among others) wouldn’t be able to run. But, due to lack of quorum, the Seguir leyendo
Donald Trump and Javier Milei seem to have many things in common. They both have an extremely high opinion of themselves (“No tienen abuela,” we’d say in Argentina).

Unbelievable! Nine-hundred passengers were literally held hostage by Intercargo union workers during a protest at Jorge Newbery and Ezeiza airports. I’m not kidding.

For some reason, this seems to be Javier Milei’s motto too. All Argentine political parties seem Seguir leyendo
Day after day, Milei reminds me more and more of late president Carlos Menem. So many similarities! His sideburns, his brand new girlfriend Yuyito González, his ideas on market freedom and private investment, his emphasis on deregulation, his economic programme as a whole. However, Milei doesn’t seem to be as Seguir leyendo
Not just happiness. Bliss, sheer bliss. That’s what Paul McCartney and his awesome band gave us all in his two sold out shows at River Plate’s Monumental stadium last weekend. It’s the third time I’ve seen him in Argentina, but this one was by far the very best. Paul isn’t Seguir leyendo
