Please, men, don’t wish us, women, a “Happy International Women’s Day”. Actually, there’s nothing to celebrate, nothing to be happy about. Particularly in Argentina, my country, where there’s one femicide a day. We’ve been victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse for centuries. We’ve always earned less than men, still coping Seguir leyendo
Cada vez que escucho al Presidente de turno (sea del color político que sea) achacar todos los males de nuestro castigado país a la gestión o gestiones anteriores, como si la tan mentada “herencia recibida” fuera un karma ineludible e inevitable, recuerdo el maravilloso monólogo que dice como nadie José Pepe Seguir leyendo
What a pity! Our President lost another chance in his speech marking the opening of the ordinary sessions of Congress last March 1st. Instead of building bridges, Alberto Fernández insists on deepening the wide gap between those who support him, and his opposition. He sounded angry, upset, resentful, aggressive, once Seguir leyendo
This may sound odd, but I never expected to be grateful to the damned Covid 19 virus. Why, you may ask? Because this pandemic led to vaccination, and this in turn led to the so called “VIP vaccination scandal”, revealing the darkest side of the current administration. Moreover, I never Seguir leyendo
I really don’t know if this happens elsewhere, but what I’ve noticed, again and again, is that in Argentina we tend to look up to anybody who passes away, we automatically forgive and forget all his/her wrongdoings. They die and they are at once redeemed, no matter what they did Seguir leyendo
¿Vacunan con pecheras políticas? ¿Clientelismo político con las vacunas? No me asombra en absoluto. Cuando en 2013 se inundó mi ciudad, La Plata, eso también pasó. La Cámpora usó pecheras para “ayudar a los inundados”. En 2015 eso se repitió en otras localidades bonaerenses inundadas: Luján, Salto, Tigre, Mercedes, Pilar, Seguir leyendo
Who’s to blame for Úrsula Bahillo’s femicide (19), in Rojas, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina? Just her killer, Matías Ezequiel Martínez? Not really. There are many accomplices, many other people involved. All those who never took her warnings seriously. She had reported his violent behavior countless times. He even had a restricting order. Nobody seemed Seguir leyendo
Matías Ezequiel Martínez no es el único responsable del femicidio de Úrsula Bahillo. La joven lo había denunciado muchas veces. Él tiene antecedentes de ejercer violencia de género contra otras mujeres; hasta fue acusado de un intento de violación a una chica discapacitada. ¿Y entonces? ¿Por qué un tipo como esa lacra Seguir leyendo
Who would have thought, a year ago (February 2020), that we would be going through something like this? We had heard about a new virus then, but we didn’t expect it to arrive here. It was someone else’s problem, far from home. We were not familiar with words and expressions Seguir leyendo
Some world leaders act weird and sound preposterous, to put it mildly. Maduro, the Venezuelan dictator, states he has some miraculous “goticas” (drops) that can cure Covid 19. López Obrador, the Mexican President, uses and encourages the use of good luck charms and cards bearing religious images (virgins, saints, etc) Seguir leyendo
