OUR PERONIST POPE
How come Pope Francis has only recently realized that there’s poverty in his native country, Argentina? High time! He has just welcomed representatives of popular movements and union leaders at the Vatican and has harhsly criticized the current administration, thus becoming a sort of virtual leader of the opposition.

OLIVOS BARBECUE
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

ASOMBRO
Los argentinos no salimos de nuestro asombro. ¿Cómo alguien pudo caer tan pero tan bajo? Ya cuando responsabilizó del festejo en Olivos a su “querida Fabiola”, Alberto Fernández dio una señal de su escasa hombría de bien. Al fin y al cabo, quien no debió autorizar esa reunión fue él, Seguir leyendo
