Ella, reloaded

Nuevamente pequé de ingenuidad. Creí que ella iba a volver más calmada, menos confrontativa, menos agresiva, menos belicosa. Pensé que su silencio de casi 4 años se correspondía con un período de reflexión, de meditación, de autocrítica, de introspección. Imaginé que abandonaría ese tono irascible, esa tendencia a “retar” a Seguir leyendo

Alperovich & Co.

Obviously, Senator José Alperovich denies all charges of sexual abuse against him and asks for “time to repair his honour”. He was given a leave of absence, but still keeps his parliamentary privileges.  I distinctly remember when his wife, Beatriz Rojkés, told the flooded tucumanos in April 2015 “I could very Seguir leyendo

You reap what you sow

“Catholicism on the decline in Pope Francis’ Argentina”, reveals Conicet study. No wonder. Although at first I felt proud when  Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected to be the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, as time went by I couldn’t help having a critical view of this Peronist Pope and his Seguir leyendo

It never rains but pours…

Latin America is clearly on fire.  Literally speaking (environmental tragedy in the Amazon rainforest), and metaphorically too. Venezuela, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Perú, Brazil. No country escapes from this political turmoil. In the meantime, in Argentina, we seem to be at a standstill, waiting, hanging, kicking it, while prices go on rising (petrol, Seguir leyendo

What’s up, Doc Fernández?

I expected the brand new administration to charge openly  against the journalists who supported “Cambiemos” from the very start.  No surprise at all. What blew my mind was our elected president’s ramming against Bugs Bunny! “Animated cartoons are a system of social control”, Alberto Fernández stated. This legendary rabbit is not the Seguir leyendo

Vox populi, Vox Dei

Ok. Now it’s their turn. I wonder if they’ll start their administration complaining about “la herencia recibida” – the received heritage (something Mauricio Macri should have stressed way back in 2015, but failed to do so). Fortunately for all of us, there will be some kind of balance. The winners Seguir leyendo

All the best!

Honestly, I can’t wait. Whoever wins tomorrow, I do hope our representatives show tolerance and common sense, and choose to join efforts, regardless their parties and ideologies.  We haven’t touched bottom yet, but are pretty close. The time has come for our politicians to work together, putting aside their differences. We, Seguir leyendo

Gane quien gane…

Gane quien gane el domingo, como ciudadana, deseo fervientemente que quien sea “derrotado” en las elecciones colabore con quienes sean elegidos para gobernar durante los próximos cuatro años. No es prudente ni sensato hacer borrón y cuenta nueva. No hay por qué desaprovechar lo conseguido. No se trata de una Seguir leyendo

Debate or boring stand-up?

In my opinion, last Sunday’s Argentine presidential campaign`s first debate was a bore. For several reasons. On the one hand, it wasn’t a “debate” in the strict sense of the word. No interaction whatsoever. The speakers didn’t even look at one another. On the other hand, they sounded as if Seguir leyendo
