Some presidential candidates leave much to be desired. For instance, I can’t understand why Sergio Massa promises to improve things if he becomes president, as if he were an outsider and not the current economy minister. Why not now? Is he pulling our leg or what? On the other hand, Seguir leyendo
“I don’t want to die!”, said 42-year-old engineer Mariano Barbieri, after being stabbed by a thief in the City neighbourhood of Palermo a few days ago. Mariano managed to enter a nearby icecream store where the staff assisted him and called 911. Those local workers heard him say his last Seguir leyendo
“Basically, I don’t speak because I’m not a candidate”. Who said this? Alberto Fernández. Unbelievable! Hasn’t he realized yet that he’s the President of Argentina? Maybe he hasn’t, since he was appointed by Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and has proved not to be ready for such a role. In the Seguir leyendo
He was a Jack-in-the-box. An outsider who got more than seven million votes at the PASO primaries last Sunday. No one expected such a huge victory of libertarian Javier Milei. No major poll predicted it. They never saw it coming. None of them. I’m not a political analyst, but I Seguir leyendo
Buenos Aires Times headline: “An 11-year-old girl died Wednesday after being robbed of her backpack and beaten on the way to school, sparking protests over rising crime and prompting politicians to suspend election campaigning.” I wonder: what prompted the candidates to cancel their final election rallies?

We are witnessing a historical absenteeism in the elections in Argentina, an alarmingly low turnout of citizens to vote. I know we are all disappointed, disillusioned, frustrated, disenchanted, completely dissatisfied with our politicians. We don’t trust them, and rightly so. Nevertheless, I still think that voting is not only our Seguir leyendo
Last Sunday former Security Minister of Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro, beat the ruling Peronism and will compete for the position of governor in September. He also surpassed Senator Carolina Losada, who had charged against him during the campaign: ‘To go against drug trafficking you have to have clean hands and Seguir leyendo
I believe Sergio Massa has asked the wrong question when he wondered: “Which Patricia Bullrich? The “Montoneros”one? The one who stood by Menem and Carrió? The one who insulted Macri? Which one?” Likewise, we could ask the same question in reference to him, who will run as Presidential Candidate for Seguir leyendo
Every time President Alberto Fernández speaks in public, much to our regret, he does it on behalf of all of us, even if he’s voicing his own personal opinions, which don’t necessarily coincide with ours. At the Mercosur summit, he didn’t say a word about María Corina Machado’s disqualification to Seguir leyendo
