PASSENGERS HELD HOSTAGE
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.

OPENING CANS OF WORMS
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.
