Last Tuesday tens of thousands demonstrated nationwide against Milei’s cuts to state university budgets. I studied at UNLP (Universidad Nacional de La Plata) and graduated in the 1970s. In those days, many young people from different provinces (“el interior”) moved to La Plata to study Medicine, Engineering, Architecture, Law, Psychology, Seguir leyendo
The fish rots from the head down. Manuel Adorni’s stubbornness isn’t surprising at all. That’s one of President Javier Milei’s main traits too. Like father, like son. Is there a libertarian caste, I wonder? Are all of us at the mercy of his narrow (and narrow-minded) inner circle? Can’t they Seguir leyendo
“Accredited journalists still unable to enter the Casa Rosada.” Really?! In Milei’s eyes, the media appears to be his worst enemy.

I quote him: “I’ve come [here] to work myself to the bone Seguir leyendo
Last Sunday, March 8, was International Women’s Day. Google tells me: “Since 1911, IWD belongs to all who care about gender equality, celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness about discrimination, take action to forge gender parity.” I guess Mayor Cali Goring (Colonia Aurora, Misiones Province) hasn’t the faintest idea about this Seguir leyendo
Are we on the brink of a Third World War, I wonder? From this part of the world, the “Deep South” of Latin America, we witness what’s going on in the Middle East, Gaza, Hezbollah, Israel, Ukraine, Russia, etc. from a distance, as if it were a Netflix series, something Seguir leyendo
