“In 1955, when I finished secondary school, Argentina’s poverty level was five percent. Poverty [in Argentina] today is at 52 percent, I think. What happened? Bad administration, bad policies,” High time Pope Francis realized that the administration he seems to have wholeheartedly supported so far, has utterly failed. Too late Seguir leyendo
The current feuds, disputes and bitter quarrels between officialism and opposition in Argentina are really shameful. On top of that, within each coalition there’s also “payback time” (“pases de factura”). It’s very much like a couple breaking up on really bad terms, arguing and insulting each other in front of their Seguir leyendo
The trial for the crime of Fernando Báez Sosa, murdered 3 years ago in Villa Gessel, has just started. It’s heart breaking to see and hear Fernando’s grieving parents, who will probably find some kind of relief only when the accused rugby players are condemned. I find it hard to Seguir leyendo
Mi carta en La NaciónCoherenciaEs curioso, el presidente Fernández se muestra indignadísimo con la revuelta en Brasilia, mientras impulsa un juicio a la Corte Suprema, en defensa de su vice, que se victimiza como una “proscripta / perseguida política”. ¡Cuánto más fácil es ver la paja en el ojo ajeno Seguir leyendo
Hay una frase atribuida a Einstein que yo le recordaría a la Vicepresidente: “ Si buscas resultados distintos, no hagas siempre lo mismo”. Una vez más, Cristina se victimiza recurriendo a los mismos argumentos. Se considera proscripta, por lo que decide no presentarse como candidata en 2023. Pero eso no es Seguir leyendo
Good time to make a wish, isn’t it? Or maybe a couple. Let’s see … I wish for a country free from kirchnerism; free from union leaders such as Moyano or Baradel; free from feudal Lords such as Gildo Insfran; free from inflation and poverty; a country where all civil servants Seguir leyendo
I believe “La Scaloneta” has given us, Argentines, much more than a World Cup. Suddenly, we got back our long lost joy. I guess the last time we all felt so happy was way back in 1983, when we recovered our democracy. Right after the match against France, millions of people Seguir leyendo
Someone should remind our President that you shouldn’t air your dirty linen in public. That’s what he’s been doing during his European tour. From a distance (as the song goes) he seems to have plucked up courage in reference to his tense relationship with Cristina Kirchner. Being far away from Seguir leyendo
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
