I quote AI: “Cows in Argentina contribute to global warming through methane emissions from enteric fermentation, which accounts for a significant portion of the country’s agricultural emissions.” I do a bit of research and find this: “From 2030, farmers in Denmark will have to pay a tax for their animals’ Seguir leyendo
The players of Estudiantes de La Plata turned their backs on Rosario Central “league champions” during a guard of honour imposed by whimsical Claudio ‘Chiqui’ Tapia, before defeating them 1-0. In fact, they turned their backs on Tapia himself, and his arbitrary decisions. Such a shady character! A gesture is Seguir leyendo
La Plata, the capital city of Buenos Aires Province, has just turned 143 years old. It’s not only “The City of Diagonals,” but also a University City. Jacaranda trees in full lavender bloom and newly graduated college students make it even more attractive in November. It’s really moving to watch Seguir leyendo
La Plata, my hometown, had an unusual visit last Wednesday. Johnny Depp (who, strangely enough, most Argentines insist on calling Johnny “Deep”), came to promote the movie he’s just directed and produced: “Modì, Three Days on the Wing of Madness” (“Modigliani, tres días en Montparnasse”). He was welcomed by thousands Seguir leyendo
Last Sunday, President Milei was given another chance. The results of the midterm elections were surprising for both sides. Peronists/Kirchnerites didn’t expect to lose and the liberals didn’t expect to win either. I do hope Milei doesn’t get cocky after this triumph – he isn’t on easy street. I hope Seguir leyendo

When I turned on the TV and saw President Milei, in black leather, roaring and singing at the top of his voice like a rock star at the Movistar Arena, I thought it was a false scene generated by Artificial Intelligence. It took me some time to realise that I Seguir leyendo
Back in the dark mid-1970s in Argentina, during the military dictatorship, there were some people who justified the fact that there were more and more “missing people,” as if it was their fault. “Algo habrán hecho,” they said; “Maybe they deserved it.” Likewise, whenever a woman is raped or murdered Seguir leyendo
It’s impossible to get bored in Argentina. Most of the time, this country is like a merry-go-round, a decaying carrousel endlessly turning in circles, round and round; a flea-ridden dog chasing its tail. But over the last few days, it’s been like a rollercoaster, madly flashing up and down. Only Seguir leyendo
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner says she can hear the tick tock from her house arrest, on San José 1111. What exactly does she mean? Is she talking about a bomb ready to burst out? Her ominous words sound threatening. Is she predicting and favouring a “coup d’état”? Haven’t we had Seguir leyendo
