Donald Trump and Javier Milei seem to have many things in common. They both have an extremely high opinion of themselves (“No tienen abuela,” we’d say in Argentina). They are cocky, conceited, show-offs. Quite vulgar and insulting in their discourse. Their hairstyles, outrageous. Both, clearly anti-establishment, anti -abortion, ultra conservative Seguir leyendo
Unbelievable! Nine-hundred passengers were literally held hostage by Intercargo union workers during a protest at Jorge Newbery and Ezeiza airports. I’m not kidding. They were not allowed to get off six Aerolíneas planes. Moreover, hundreds of flights were delayed or cancelled. Are we at the mercy of these bullies? Can Seguir leyendo
On Monday 21st, we watched the “Martin Fierro Film Awards at the “Usina del Arte”. It was supposed to be a very significant event, since it’s the first time such prize had been given to the local movie industry. Unfortunately, what could have been a joyful and glamorous celebration, became Seguir leyendo
Opening cans of worms… The maxim “divide et impera” (divide and rule) has been attributed to Philip II of Macedon. It was utilized by the Roman ruler Julius Caesar and the French emperor Napoleon. For some reason, this seems to be Javier Milei’s motto too. All Argentine political parties seem Seguir leyendo
Day after day, Milei reminds me more and more of late president Carlos Menem. So many similarities! His sideburns, his brand new girlfriend Yuyito González, his ideas on market freedom and private investment, his emphasis on deregulation, his economic programme as a whole. However, Milei doesn’t seem to be as Seguir leyendo

I do hope Javier Milei bears in mind that he won the elections just because millions of Argentines refused to have another Kirchnerite administration. In other words, he was “a shot in the dark” – a wild, unsubstantiated guess, the only choice for many of us, the lesser evil, so Seguir leyendo
In my opinion, President Javier Milei’s “Olivos Barbecue” was absolutely unnecessary. Even insulting, I dare say. Although [Presidential Spokesperson] Manuel Adorni insists it wasn’t a celebration, it certainly looked like one, after having successfully blocked an 8.1 percent pension increase, initially approved by both houses of Congress. “Today, 87 heroes Seguir leyendo
On the one hand, I cannot believe Cristina Fernández dares criticize and give advice to our current President, as if she had nothing to do with the unspeakable crisis Argentina is suffering due to 20 years of kirchnerite mismanagement. On the other hand, I feel Milei’s ironical and patronizing replies Seguir leyendo
Whenever our self-esteem is rather low, we should all read and re-read President Milei’s public statements, so as to borrow a little of his own and boost ours. Just a few quotes: “I am today the most relevant politician on Earth”; “I am the maximum exponent and defender of the Seguir leyendo
