Illustration for a leading article (in Spanish) about the present state of the two blocks. While the South American one (Argentina’s Macri and Brazil’s Rousseff in the bottom line) try to overcome falling prices of commodities that are their main exports, they don’t look at their European counterpart as a model.

Marx return from the future
July 22, 2015
Yanis Varoufakis recounts how the “repugnant” european crisis drove him to become an “erratic marxist”.

[…]

The World Cup entering its final stages gives some food to chew. As a beautiful sport this cup showed some improvement. Mainly from some “lesser” participants while some of the “big ones” showed the poisonus side of money: as they can buy players they fail to promote local youngs to the front. England, Spain and […]
