by Carlos Alberto Montaner (Miami Herald) Michelle Bachelet will soon return to Chile’s government house. Chileans like her, and she probably deserves to return. She went through La Moneda once and left it with a very high approval rate. However, this time she has been voted in so she can govern differently, and she has […]
by Carlos Alberto Montaner (Miami Herald) Pope Francis is going to revolutionize Catholicism. He’s already at it. The survey ordered by the Vatican to find out what the lay people believe about some social issues — gay marriage and adoption, contraceptives, divorce and communion, de facto unions and so on, up to 39 questions — […]
by Carlos Alberto Montaner President Nicolás Maduro told the story quaking with emotion. Hugo Chávez had appeared before the workmen who are digging the Caracas subway.
