A judicial hearing was convened to decide on the publicity of the complaint that led to something totally unprecedented, such as the raid on Donald Trump’s private residence, unknown terrain since it had never occurred with a former president, and given the polarization that the USA is experiencing could have long-lasting and unexpected consequences, if,…
Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Nicaragua’s regimes have a unique feature; to legitimize narcotics’ trafficking that they present as “anti-imperialism” and “the need to end the failed war on drugs”, a flawed strategy with which they pretend to coverup the narco-States they have converted the countries they control. Castro from Cuba, made narcotics’ trafficking “an anti-imperialism…
As I write this article, there is a forgotten being in the city of Matagalpa who has been harassed and imprisoned by the Nicaraguan regime for committing the crime of professing the faith of Christ. His name is Rolando Álvarez and he is a diocesan bishop. Diocesan priests do not belong to any religious order,…
Plurinationality does not mean the same thing in mestizo societies like many Latin American countries, including Chile.

Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955), a Spanish philosopher and essayist, wrote during the first half of the 20th century when Spain wavered between monarchy, republicanism, and dictatorship. For him, the Basque and Catalan separatisms…
Japan was the last leg of her tour of Asia, and Nancy Pelosi is not just any representative. She, at 82 years old, is the spokeswoman for the Chamber and in that capacity, the third in line of command in the country. Her trip should have been a state trip and it was just a…
Beatrice Rangel handed it to me. I met her when she was Minister in Carlos Andrés Pérez’s second government. In fact, she was more than a minister.
