Dirty Linen

Someone should remind our President that you shouldn’t air your dirty linen in public. That’s what he’s been doing during his European tour.

Justicia por Cabezas

Estaba veraneando en Pinamar en enero de 1997. Estuve ahí el fatídico día en que asesinaron a José Luis Cabezas. Ya han pasado 25 años, un cuarto de siglo, y hoy no hay nadie preso por ese homicidio. Vivo en La Plata y seguí de cerca el proceso a “Los Seguir leyendo
