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? Sympathy or sheer shame? Seguir leyendo
Sergio Massa has been Argentina’s Minister of Economy for a year now. Has he been successful? Not at all. Has he been able to lower inflation or stop increasing prices? Not in the least. So, the one-million-dollar question is: why on earth is he running for president? Don’t kirchnerists have Seguir leyendo
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.

Last Sunday former Security Minister of Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro, beat the ruling Peronism and will compete for the position of governor in September.

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
CFK reminds me of Lady Macbeth, the emblematic character by William Shakespeare. Her ambition, her cruelty, her callousness, her vanity are boundless. She shows no sympathy or empathy for others. Not even for her own devotees. Only last week, Wado de Pedro launched his presidential campaign on TV. Same as Seguir leyendo
The violent demonstrations in Jujuy against reforms to the local constitution, with activists throwing rocks, burning cars and trying to set fire to the provincial legislature, is just a dress rehearsal of the “play” Kirchnerites are likely to open next December, after losing the general elections. It goes without saying Seguir leyendo
We have a saying in Spanish: “La mona, aunque se vista de seda, mona queda”. Its equivalent in English: “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”. Along the same line: “The same dog with a different collar”. I would apply both to the Peronist and Kirchnerist “new” coalition Seguir leyendo
