Another femicide. This time the victim was a 14-year old teenager in Córdoba, Agostina Vega, who was allegedly kidnapped, raped and killed by Claudio Gabriel Barrelier. This criminal had a pending legal case against him for the alleged kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment of an ex-partner in 2025, a case for Seguir leyendo
“Enough of fuelling division and polarisation,” said Jorge García Cuerva, the archbishop of Buenos Aires at the ‘Te Deum’ ceremony on May 25 at the Metropolitan Cathedral. I wonder if President Milei realised García Cuerva was addressing him. As when he added: “What we lack is a leadership class willing Seguir leyendo
Artificial Intelligence shouldn’t, mustn’t kill live performances. Now more than ever we all crave flesh and blood artists, not holograms. Fortunately, in spite of our eternal economic crises, people keep going to the theatre in Argentina. The activity resists, against all odds. Buenos Aires is still one of the biggest Seguir leyendo
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.

He himself has said: “We don’t hate journalists enough.” He can’t stand any sort of criticism and throws a tantrum every time someone dares find fault with his procedures. Seguir leyendo
We’ve suffered two great losses this week: huge actor Luis ‘Beto’ Brandoni and film director Luis Puenzo. Carlos Rottemberg, Brandoni’s lifelong friend and producer, said: “In ‘Beto’ we are losing the last leading actor of an unforgettable generation, a driving force for national theatre.” While his co-star Solita Silveyra wrote Seguir leyendo
I quote Philip Kennicott, culture critic for The Washington Post: “Artemis II carries men and women of great courage and competence farther than any human has ever travelled before. But the country that launched this mission has squandered any chance of ever saying to the world: Trust us, we will Seguir leyendo
April 2 is a very tragic date, for Argentines in general and for “platenses” in particular. On the one hand, General Leopoldo Galtieri decided to take control of Malvinas Islands by force to salvage his collapsing military dictatorship. The move aimed to seize a nationalistic victory, uniting the populace against Seguir leyendo
Is Manuel Adorni one of this administration’s “untouchables”? Shouldn’t he have handed in his resignation after inviting his wife Bettina Angeletti to travel with him to New York on the presidential aircraft to attend the “Argentina Week roadshow”? I quote him: “I’ve come [here] to work myself to the bone Seguir leyendo
