At last! Someone who says out loudly what many of us think! Buenos Aires City Mayor Horacio Rodríguez Larreta has had the guts to react to the measures taken overnight by President Alberto Fernández, who even went against what some of his Ministers had promised a few hours earlier. No Seguir leyendo
One of my favorite movies of all times is “Mary Poppins”. And there’s a song: “A spoonful of sugar (helps the medicine go down)” that I suddenly remembered these days, when President Alberto Fernández announced several new restrictions due to Covid 19 second huge wave. Why, you might ask. Well, simply Seguir leyendo
“Una cucharada de azúcar ayuda a bajar la medicina” (“A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down). Quienes vimos y disfrutamos más de una vez de la inolvidable “Mary Poppins”, recordamos la letra de esta bellísima canción. ¿Por qué hago esta asociación justo ahora? Porque el anuncio de las Seguir leyendo
I don’t think Pope Francis is a prophet in his own land. Far from it. In my opinion, he hasn’t contributed in any way to pacify the continuous rivalries and skirmishes our society is pathologically immersed in. On the contrary. At times, he has actually fuelled it. He’s been called “a Seguir leyendo
While Economy Minister Martín Guzmán was meeting with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in Washington this week, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner bluntly admitted: “We can’t pay because we don’t have the money to pay”. Weird, isn’t it? I thought they played for the same team. With friends such as CFK, who Seguir leyendo
Happy ending this time. Maia Yael Beloso, the 7-year-old girl abducted by Carlos Alberto Savanz (39), was finally found and rescued after a desperate search.

En primer lugar, esa niña y sus 5 hermanitos viven en situación de calle. ¿Cómo es eso posible? Entiendo que un adulto puede elegir hacerlo, ¿pero Seguir leyendo
¿Así que Marcela Losardo está “agobiada”, señor Presidente? ¡Pobre! Es comprensible. Ahora bien, ¿Ud. tiene idea cuán agobiados estamos todos los argentinos? ¡Ni se imagina! Nos agobia la inseguridad; nos agobia la inflación; nos agobia la falta de vacunas; nos agobia enterarnos que hay gente que “se coló” y se Seguir leyendo
Please, men, don’t wish us, women, a “Happy International Women’s Day”. Actually, there’s nothing to celebrate, nothing to be happy about. Particularly in Argentina, my country, where there’s one femicide a day. We’ve been victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse for centuries. We’ve always earned less than men, still coping Seguir leyendo
Cada vez que escucho al Presidente de turno (sea del color político que sea) achacar todos los males de nuestro castigado país a la gestión o gestiones anteriores, como si la tan mentada “herencia recibida” fuera un karma ineludible e inevitable, recuerdo el maravilloso monólogo que dice como nadie José Pepe Seguir leyendo
