Repaso algunas de las afirmaciones más salientes de Cristina Fernández el viernes pasado en Chaco. 1) “La gente está muy mal”: chocolate por la noticia. No nos habíamos percatado. 2) “No le estamos haciendo honor a tanta confianza”: creo que se acordaron tarde, porque ya ha transcurrido más de la Seguir leyendo
“Renta inesperada”. Nice euphemism for the new tax (yes, still another one) this administration has come up with. “Unexpected corporate profits”. “We have to ask those who have had a windfall to contribute,” said Alberto Fernández. I look up the word “windfall”: 1- (literally) an apple or other fruit blown Seguir leyendo
Last Wednesday at Centro Cultural Kirchner (CCK), Cristina Fernández de Kirchner opened this year’s Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly (EuroLat), where there were more than 100 lawmakers. Hers wasn’t a “welcome speech” at all. While listening to her, I wondered whether she thought she was actually addressing her fans at “Instituto Patria”. Maybe Seguir leyendo
Suddenly, everybody blames the Devil for all our ills and misfortunes. It’s/He’s/She’s on the top trending topic list. A short while ago, Nicolás Maduro said he’s willing to talk to anybody, including “el Señor Diablo o sus diablitos”. At the 2022 Oscar Award Ceremony, actor Will Smith, after slapping Chris Seguir leyendo
Honestly, I would love to live in the country President Alberto Fernández described in his annual address to Congress last March 1st.

Estaba veraneando en Pinamar en enero de 1997. Estuve ahí el fatídico día en que asesinaron a José Luis Cabezas. Ya han pasado 25 años, un cuarto de siglo, y hoy no hay nadie preso por ese homicidio. Vivo en La Plata y seguí de cerca el proceso a “Los Seguir leyendo
Judges are thought to be quite stern, severe, grave, somewhat unfriendly. There are exceptions, though. Chubut female Judge Mariel Suárez seems to be one of them. She was one of the three magistrates in the trial which sentenced Cristian Bustos to life imprisonment for killing a policeman. She had already Seguir leyendo
No somos pocos quienes estamos claramente decepcionados con ciertas actitudes y decisiones de la oposición. ¿Ya le pidieron la renuncia a Gabriela Brower, la diputada cordobesa del Bloque Evolución de Juntos por el Cambio, que pegó el faltazo en la sesión del Congreso por un viaje de placer a los Seguir leyendo
The perception of time is so subjective, so relative, isn´t it? For most of us, 2020 was dreadfully long. Maybe because of the endless lockdown, the uncertainty regarding the pandemic, the shock we were all in. On the contrary, I’d say 2021 moved at breakneck speed, so fast that Christmas Seguir leyendo
Every December in La Plata, the city which has adopted me since my College years, there’s a moving and noisy ritual: Newly graduates are driven in the open trunks of cars or vans, followed by dozens of vehicles with friends, relatives, classmates, honking and cheering loudly behind. These youngsters have just Seguir leyendo
