    Peronist Hypocrisy in Argentina

    Just a little jewel from 1947, look up Pilaga massacre. That perhaps would help understanding this brilliant leader named Peron, seriously , who wouldn't wanna be peronist after learning about how this man kept law and order .

    Government will monitor social media to predict future crimes

    I think he might be invoking the 4th amendment of the US constitution (for those who are Americans)you should expect no privacy when in public as far as being filmed or recorded but that does not give the gov the right to profile you if you are not a person of interest of a crime already...

    Trump injured after being shot while speaking at a campaign rally

    Not condemning or showing the least amount of compassion for a person that just got shot in the head and missed by a couple of inches from being lethal, really shows the character and the quality of the human being that we are. This is flat out wrong no matter who the intended target was(in this...

    Volunteering in Buenos Aires

    I'm pretty sure walking to your nearest chapel or church they'll be able to steer you in the right direction, other option could be hospitals and when everything fails you can try la campora, i'm sure their numbers are getting smaller by the hour, good luck pilgrim

    Outcry as Milei rewrites Argentina’s history

    We might be reading the obsession of the 30k wrong, i believe that comes down to money as always. We know that large amounts of money were paid out to families of terrorists but no one knows how much to who and to how many people, so that in itself is a huge black hole that for the former...

    Presidential murder attempt? absolutely!, does it compare to the copitos? as far as trying to murder a president, of course! the only difference i see, is that president Milei had done nothing to trigger any one to the point of wanting to kill him ''just because'', on the other hand former vice...
