Another lost chance

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

Thank you, virus!

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

Death becomes him

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

Salud y uso político

¿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

Úrsula Bahillo: whose fault is it?

Who’s to blame for Úrsula Bahillo’s femicide  (19), in Rojas, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina?  Just her killer, Matías Ezequiel Martínez? Not really.

Nobody seemed Seguir leyendo

Only a year ago

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

In whose hands are we?

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

Todo un Señor Feudal

Gildo Insfran es Gobernador de Formosa desde el 10 de diciembre de 1995. O sea, hace 26 años. Más que Gobernador, Insfrán ya es todo un señor feudal (y no es el único), dueño absoluto de su provincia. Hace y deshace a gusto. ¿Por qué la gente lo sigue votando? Seguir leyendo
