1. A home for the criminally insane called and said it wants Miguel Pichetto, Macri's guy, back.

In the meantime, it appears both Bolsonaro and Macri seem to be regarded as their countries' Trump monsters.

As soon as I started reading this article, it sounded exactly as if Macri has been straining to destroy everything accomplished by Néstor Kirchner, who did so much to repair the damage done by the dictatorship, and the next presidents.

When I was posting at CNN's old message board system, in the US/Cuban relations forum, a woman, Maria Lamoretti, who was Italian, and a gentleman who, I learned over the years, had been a UPI foreign journalist, who had studied at universities in Latin America, who had been working in Argentina and in Chile during their dictatorships, used to communicate regularly, talking about events there, (Maria had to pay an exorbitant fee in those days to be online in Argentina) and they both agreed that in Argentina most of the people there see themselves as being the "Europeans of Latin America." They were both wild about Argentina's soccer team!

That's when I learned Argentina most definitely has a relationship to ancestry far different, generally, from the majorities in other countries. That didn't seem to be a handicap for Néstor Kirchner, did it, when he created the new immigration program?
What a shame Macri has gone this far. It's going to take someone as well-educated psychologically, and socially, to overcome this provincial disgrace, fear and hatred of people from elsewhere.
