May they rest in peace

At last, one year later, the Ara San Juan has been found, lying at the bottom of the sea. I believe this is essential for the families of the 44 members of the crew, so that they can start mourning them. The concept “missing” is absolutely unbearable. And, unluckily, it Seguir leyendo

Así en el fútbol como en la vida

Seamos sinceros. El vergonzoso escándalo que impidió la realización del partido River-Boca el sábado pasado, estaba cantado. Más que cantado. Todos sabíamos que se iban a producir disturbios. Era una fija. El virus de la violencia infectó nuestra sociedad hace rato, y se ha convertido en una enfermedad crónica, algo Seguir leyendo

A Superhero has left us

What a pity! In a world deprived of flesh and blood heroes, someone who created unforgettable real-life superheroes has left us. Stanley Martin Lieber-Stan Lee- father of the X-Men, Black Panther, The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Thor, The Increible Hulk, Daredevil, among many others, has died at 95.

Stop the world!

What’s wrong with world’s leaders nowadays? Just listen to Donald Trump, “fingering” a CNN journalist, while saying: “That’s enough! Put down the mike: You’re a rude, terrible person”, among other things.  A rude person? Look who’s talking! The world press should come out and expose this man’s acts of censorship.  Then French Seguir leyendo

Halloween Presidents

I’d like to believe that both Trump and Bolsonaro are a couple of spooky Halloween characters rather than flesh and blood Presidents of two huge countries. They seem to think alike. And mind you:  they haven´t dropped out of the blue. They´ve been voted by millions of people, who apparently don’t Seguir leyendo

A Peronist Pope

I thought the Pope was the Head of the Catholic Church, not someone deeply involved in local politics, openly backing Peronist union leaders and Mayors.  Or is he being “used” by them as an ally? If that’s the case, he doesn’t seem to mind at all. On the contrary, he seems Seguir leyendo

«Juntos pero no revueltos»

Lilita Carrió is being strongly attacked by many people for holding a critical attitude regarding certain government officials, in spite of the fact that she has always been one of Macri’s major political allies. But, I wonder: why shouldn’t she speak her mind out? If she doesn’t see eye to Seguir leyendo

Something is rotten in Brazil

If we were told that someone who has publicly and repeatedly insulted women, and has cheered dictatorship, wants to become the President of a nation, we wouldn’t believe it. Moreover, if on top of all these “qualifications”, we learnt that he is supported by crowds of voters, the whole thing Seguir leyendo

Recuerda a Charles Aznavour y lo despide con mucho afecto

¡Qué tristeza sin fin, querido Aznavour! ¡Cómo nos acompañaste a lo largo de nuestra vida! ¡Particularmente, en nuestra adolescencia! Nos enamoramos perdidamente al ritmo de tus bellas canciones, de tus “lentos” memorables, Chansonnier. Conocimos y lloramos en Venecia mucho antes de visitar la romántica ciudad de los canales. Tu castellano Seguir leyendo

Au revoir, Aznavour!

When someone like Charles Aznavour leaves us, something inside us dies along with him. Some of our best memories, our teenage years, when we used to dance cheek to cheek and fell in love for ever again and again. That’s why today we feel so sad, distressed, lonely. He was Seguir leyendo
