E.U. and Mercosur hardships
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. The European Union has […]
Donald Trump show the state of politics
July 4, 2015
Miami Herald’s Andres Oppenheimer seems to be outraged by the lack of outrage among Trump’s fellow Republicans after his absurd tirade against immigrants from Mexico. I have no doubt about Andres’ sincerity in his indignation with the passive reception given to the clown’s racist outbursts and, worse than that, his rising popularity. What I doubt […]
To be woman or to be human

Merkel’s nest of neonazis
May 6, 2013
The trial of a neonazi group set to start today in Munich threatens to turn into a trial of the Chancellor Merkel’s government itself. During a ten years long raid the so-called National Socialist Underground assassinated ten people (mostly Turkish immigrants) without being investigated by the German police in spite of a number of clues […]
Latino Power is on the march
November 11, 2012
Obama’s re-election seems to mark a turning point in American politics. A new coalition of empowered minorities (Latinos, blacks, gays and others usually regarded as “liberal-oriented”) defeated the old “white-anglo-man” dominance epitomized by the Tea Party conservatives. “No U.S. presidential candidate in coming years will be able to turn his back on Hispanics” writes […]
Amigo Mitt!
June 22, 2012
Mitt Romney address to the Latino community sounds like a used candy wrapped into a new bundle of void words as he has nothing to offer to immigrant workers deprived of their human rights. Three weeks ago the Miami Herald’s columnist Andrés Oppenheimer (who came from Argentina) advanced his skepticism in regards to Romney’s efforts, […]
Romney, Santorum want to be the next sheriff
March 1, 2012
The new front-runner couple of Republican would-be candidates to the Presidency of the United States proclaimed their support of the “Arizona model” for immigration policy. Which is no other than a police managed policy. As the Oppenheimer article points out, the “model” might be applied beyond its primary target (Latino working-class immigrants) all the way […]
Romney-Gingrich push the issues
February 1, 2012
This cartoon was intended for the Spanish translation of this article. While the original purpose was to discuss the respective positions on the immigration issue, maybe somebody can find it adequate for the present situation in the Republican party at large.
Fiesta! The Republican Piñata
September 14, 2011
Andres Oppenheimer complains that the Republican Debate shows a prevalent hostility towards Hispanic immigration (both legal and illegal). As an Argentine journalist who ventured successfully in the United States, he feels hurt and predicts a grim performance for any of the GOP candidates in the 2012 elections: My opinion: In their quest for support of their […]
Mandela, you can’t eat the ball
July 16, 2010
While the eyes of soccer fans throughout the world focused on the emotion and the glitter coming from South Africa, few were aware of the grim realities of poverty and xenophobia behind. Mainly against immigrants from other African countries crammed in buildings abandoned by its white owners, lacking water and services of any kind. By […]
Of myths, heroes and sports
May 28, 2010
Note: This translated version of the originally published in Spanish by the “Rio Negro” daily of Argentina was slightly adapted for non Argentinean readers. The last paragraph became edited for “space needs” and added here. The Media turned the athletes into the mythical heroes of our time, displacing the Great Men with which the secular […]
