Fernandez-Argentina-580x351

The latest and outrageous episode of the judicial and media war against Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is making the right wing pay a high political cost, incapable of calculating the reserves of political energy accumulated in the people. It is not idle to remember the prosecutor’s request to the accused: 12 years in prison and lifetime disqualification from holding public office.

Geo-semiotics of human rights

Colombia Derechos Humanos

The law is not the same for peoples who have never experienced social justice. The objective conditions in any given place determine the degree of awareness and practice of human rights, no matter how many specialized organizations are active there.

Macbeth and Faust reappear in Miami

miami protestas cuba

U.S. imperialism devotes millions on attempts to discredit Cuba and recruiting cultural figures to join the effort is established practice. Some succumb to the siren song, but most do not care to live for crumbs, visas or legal residence, and perform in low-rent venues.
