When I listen to Alberto Fernández each time he announces that this lockdown will continue, I notice that he never mentions the mental health problems that this situation is causing. How can he openly disregard the anxiety, the fear, the depression, the stress disorders that this pandemic is generating in Seguir leyendo
Among many other things, I believe this pandemic has pushed to the surface a far more serious “grieta” (crack), than the one that confronts “kirchnerists versus anti kirchnerists.
