We are all sick and tired by now. Utterly fed up. Not only with the unbearable, extreme heat and lack of rain, but mainly with this incompetent, lousy kirchnerist administration. Fed up with inflation, with rising prices, with power cuts, with insecurity, with narco crime. Fed up with daily pickets Seguir leyendo
“Please, dream with me! Don’t leave me alone! We are going to change the world”. Who said this? You’ve guessed right: Alberto Fernández, our President. Maybe he hasn’t realized yet that we, Argentinians, are having a nightmare, not a sweet dream. Poverty, inflation, crime, narco violence, our youth fleeing, power Seguir leyendo
Once in a while (“De vez en cuando la vida …”) and out of the blue, certain metaphors that life offers us, keep us in stitches. Right after the President’s boiling speech to legislative assembly, promising (among other lies) that Argentina could easily provide energy to the whole world, there was Seguir leyendo
I’m afraid there’s something worse, much worse than our recurrent economic crises in Argentina. Somehow, we’ve been able to overcome many (“Rodrigazo”, “corralito”, 2001, inflation, among many others). But our internal debt is much deeper than our external one. By that I mean our socio cultural decline, the social disintegration Seguir leyendo
Narco violence in Rosario looks unstoppable. The city used to be known as “the Argentine Chicago” way back in the thirties. Nowadays, we could call it the local Sinaloa. When Security Minister Aníbal Fernández tells Santa Fe Governor Aníbal Perotti that he should deal with the problem with his own Seguir leyendo
I really admire (and envy) our President’s high self –esteem. In spite of his utterly failed administration, Alberto Fernández is considering the idea of running for president this year. He’s not the only one, mind you. Axel Kicillof also has presidential expectations. Probably in order to snare the youth vote, Seguir leyendo
Last Wednesday Alberto Fernández visited Chaco, Coqui Capitanich’s feudal province, and insisted that his administration has handled the pandemic quite successfully. He probably thinks we have already forgotten all about the “Vip vaccine scandal” that led to the resignation of Health Minister Ginés Gonzalez García. Believe or not, Fernández thinks Seguir leyendo
“In 1955, when I finished secondary school, Argentina’s poverty level was five percent. Poverty [in Argentina] today is at 52 percent, I think. What happened? Bad administration, bad policies,” High time Pope Francis realized that the administration he seems to have wholeheartedly supported so far, has utterly failed. Too late Seguir leyendo
The current feuds, disputes and bitter quarrels between officialism and opposition in Argentina are really shameful. On top of that, within each coalition there’s also “payback time” (“pases de factura”). It’s very much like a couple breaking up on really bad terms, arguing and insulting each other in front of their Seguir leyendo
The trial for the crime of Fernando Báez Sosa, murdered 3 years ago in Villa Gessel, has just started. It’s heart breaking to see and hear Fernando’s grieving parents, who will probably find some kind of relief only when the accused rugby players are condemned. I find it hard to Seguir leyendo
