Determining the number of patients in Cuba seems impossible, since the island has been talking about percentages and rates for several years.

It is true that he had a stumble in October 2019, but I think that everything has passed.…Read more >>

Since the Sao Paulo Forum invaded Bolivia in the 1990s, the country has suffered a series of subversive and terrorist actions.

The current Bolivian constitution is basically a mechanism to keep the MAS gang in power. But not to guarantee the exercise of rights to Bolivian citizens.…Read more >>
