Mikhail Gorbachev has died at 91 years old. Not that bad. The life expectancy of Russians in 2019, just before the pandemic, was eight years less than the average of people in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). If you decide to be from Korea, a member country of the institution, I advise…
A few days short of the Constitutional Polling in Chile, or the Exit Polling, it has been shown that this constituent process is a transnational strategy to attack the unity of the Nation, destroy the State, and confront Chilean peoples. Full proof corroborating this fact is the project to replace the constitution in a referendum…
Argentina’s Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was recently indicted on corruption charges. The prosecutor, Diego Luciani, charged her with being the head of an illegal association that benefitted from kickbacks from the government’s public works contracts. The accused include Ms. Kirchner, cabinet members linked to public works operations, and an individual who served as…
Jorge Mario, of close Italian descent, has been, without a doubt, a “Suigeneris Pope”. And from the very moment when white smoke lit up the sky in the Vatican, as a sign of “Habemus Papam”. He discarded luxury clothing as evidence of an embrace of humility and poverty, including the shoes he wore before he…
In his most recent public statement, the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, announces a true era of lean cows starting in the winter of 2022.

Apparently the error was trying to impose the project of a single sector, of opposite sign, but the same error of Pinochet. I think there is only one solution, the national agreement, that is, the constitution as everyone’s…
“It’s in the genes.” Javier Figueroa de Cárdenas is a relative of Miguel Figueroa, a brilliant 19th century autonomist. Autonomism was a way of being patriotic in Cuba, especially since the “Pact of Zanjón,” which in 1878 put an end to the “Ten Years War,” until 1898, when the United States tipped the balance in…
The Pope has three roles; he is the Spiritual Leader of the Roman Catholic Church, he also is the Supreme Pontiff of that church, and he is the Head of State of the Vatican. The faith of millions of Roman Catholics makes this Spiritual Leader the supreme power over those who were ordained and those…
Latin America is shedding its skin. This is how we perceive it on our TV and computer screens when we see the images of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner parade, responding haughtily to the accusation of prosecutor Luciani of being involved in aggravated corruption. According to her, she is being stoned because she chose to make…
The considerations regarding Brazil lead Jair Bolsonaro not to act as President, but as its owner. The “giant of South America” is, then, its large estate of 8.5 km2 and 213,993,441 people. It could even be argued that the Prime Minister sits Pedro I and IV of Portugal, but correcting the mistakes of the latter.…
