Milei called Vicepresident Victoria Villarruel a “brute traitor” last Tuesday evening at “La Derecha Fest” in Córdoba, where he looked and acted like a rock star. Furthermore, he has often accused her of being “closer to the caste”. He has posted on X: “Rome does not pay traitors”. By “traitors” Seguir leyendo
Our memory may not always be accurate when we try to remember certain dates or situations. But whenever something unique happens, we immediately know where we were and what we were doing at that precise moment. For instance, September 11, 2001. I had been in New York a month before, Seguir leyendo
I believe church and state should be separate in a democratic government. All individuals should be allowed to practice any sort of faith, but the state shouldn’t favour any one in particular. Whenever President Milei summons “the forces of heaven,” I wonder what he means. I’d rather trust the strength Seguir leyendo
The scandal we all poor Argentines witnessed last Wednesday in the lower house Chamber of Deputies, was absolutely appalling. Deputies screaming, yelling and insulting one another like crazy. Hooligans seem like British gentlemen compared to our so-called “representatives,” whose huge salaries come out of our taxes. Their behaviour is shameful, Seguir leyendo
Am I the only one who fears we might be at the brink of another world war? My Italian grandparents came to Argentina fleeing from the war. They found shelter here, settled down and started a new life and their own families. Nowadays, believe it or not, that unimaginable nightmare Seguir leyendo

Moreover, she has also been permanently disqualified from holding public office. That’s it. We are all equal before the law, regardless Seguir leyendo
We Argentinians get distracted so easily! For a whole week, we’ve been destroying Ricardo Darín for what he said at Mirtha Legrand’s table. The media too. If this awesome actor can afford “empanadas” at forty eight thousand pesos the dozen, good for him. Maybe it wasn’t a “popular” example, ‘cause Seguir leyendo
Fortunately, I grew up in a home where there were lots of books. My parents were enthusiastic readers, and I guess that habit was quite catching. I studied English at the University of La Plata in the 1970s and graduated as an English Language and English Literature teacher. I had Seguir leyendo
“We don’t hate journalists enough”, said Javier Milei recently. Critical journalists and reporters are described by him as the “new caste.” They are “the enemy” in his eyes. I find it hard to link the President’s constant hateful attack on the press with “The Forces of Heaven” he advocates. Is Seguir leyendo
