The Escalation of the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands Conflict and the Twilight of Western International Relations Theory

The British military’s preparations for a possible collision with Argentina over the disputed archipelago have once again demonstrated that not only is the territorial conflict between the two countries not sputtering out, but it is ready to drive another nail into the coffin of the much-advertised Western “democratic peace theory.” The Empire Prepares a Counterstrike […]

Spinte, cazzotti e stampelle che volano: il torneo per calciatori amputati finisce in rissa dopo i rigori | Video

Spinte, cazzotti e colpi proibiti con le stampelle: è finita nel modo peggiore la Copa Fortaleza Guaraní, prestigioso torneo di calcio per amputati che si è tenuto a Buenos Aires. Tutto è accaduto al termine della finalissima tra gli argenti del Los Teros de Cordoba e gli uruguagi dei Rampla Juniors. La partita è terminata 1 a 1 e si è decisa quindi ai calci di rigore. L’ultimo penalty fallito da un giocatore della formazione uruguaiana ha scatenato la reazione festante dei calciatore del Cordoba, ma qualcosa è andato storto.

Nel parapiglia generale, infatti, mentre gli argentini correvano per abbracciare il loro portiere, un calciatore uruguaiano è stato sgambettato – forse involontariamente – ed è finito a terra. Da lì però si è scatenata una rissa senza esclusione di colpi, complice la tensione per la partita e la storica rivalità tra Argentina e Uruguay. Già durante il match c’erano stati diversi momenti tesi, tra entrate al limite e insulti verbali.

Dopo il match però è partita la vera rissa. Chi stava riprendendo l’incontro dopo pochi secondi ha deciso di girare la telecamera, per non mostrare quello spettacolo indecoroso. Nelle immagini però si vedono spinte e pugni, con diversi calciatori che finiscono a terra. Il portiere viene anche colpito con una stampella.

I Los Teros de Córdoba su Instagram hanno poi cercato di stemperare gli animi: “Facendo le congratulazioni ai nostri giocatori per l’obiettivo raggiunto, vogliamo esprimere la nostra solidarietà per gli eventi sfortunati che sono avvenuti alla fine della partita, augurando una pronta guarigione dalle lesioni”. Il club argentino ha aggiunto: “Ricordiamo a tutti che si tratta di un incidente isolato, mai abbiamo vissuto una situazione così triste e riprovevole come questa”. Il messaggio si conclude: “Condanniamo qualsiasi atto di violenza”.

I Rampla Juniors però hanno fornito una secca replica: “Vogliamo essere molto chiari, noi non siamo venuti in Argentina a litigare, siamo venuti a giocare a calcio. Dietro questo viaggio ci sono stati mesi di sforzo e sacrificio“. Il club uruguaiano ha chiesto quindi che vengano presi provvedimenti contro i rivali che a loro dire hanno scatenato la rissa finale.

Juan, 72, e Antolina, 74, vivem em casas separadas há 50 anos e ele caminha até 30 minutos todo dia para ajudar com os animais: qual o segredo?

Nas encostas elevadas dos Valles Calchaquíes, em Salta, no noroeste argentino, a história de Juan, de 72 anos e Antolina de 74 anos, redefine a convivência conjugal. Eles dividem a jornada afetiva há mais de 50 anos, mas decidiram habitar ranchos individuais de alvenaria rústica localizados na marca dos 3.500 metros de altitude. Essa escolha demonstra como a autonomia espacial pode caminhar lado a lado com um relacionamento duradouro.

A decisão de residir em imóveis próprios não teve origem em conflitos, mas no respeito ao histórico de cada um, pois ambos já detinham suas propriedades antes do matrimônio. A localização remota coloca as moradias a uma distância de cinco horas a pé em relação a Cafayate, polo urbano da zona. O arranjo familiar conta com o apoio do filho Clemente, que habita com a mãe, enquanto os outros dois herdeiros fazem visitas esporádicas.

A caminhada matinal e a rotina rústica na serra

O dia a dia do casal ganha ritmo nas primeiras horas da manhã, momento em que Juan percorre uma rota de 20 a 30 minutos na companhia de seu cão até a habitação de Antolina. Unindo forças, os dois conduzem ovelhas e cabras para o pasto e dividem todo o manejo do rebanho. Quando a noite se aproxima, o idoso refaz o percurso de regresso ao seu endereço original.

A sobrevivência na montanha apoia-se em recursos elementares, utilizando lenha, palha e pedras na construção e manutenção dos lares, com abastecimento hídrico feito por nascentes. A subsistência alimentar é complementada por plantios murados de milho, batata e abóbora, mantidos sob vigilância por conta dos ataques frequentes de pumas aos animais da fazenda.

A produção artesanal e a biologia da altitude

O manejo pecuário na região opera sob a lógica da agricultura familiar, soltando os bichos para pastejo diurno e recolhendo-os ao entardecer. Um estudo conduzido com 35 famílias de Payogasta, publicado no periódico Fave: Sección Ciencias Agrarias da Universidad Nacional del Litoral, indica que as propriedades locais mantêm cerca de 80 cabras em idade adulta. Toda a produção de queijo deriva da extração manual do leite, tendo a dieta animal baseada em alfafa, resíduos agrícolas e vegetação nativa.

O ambiente localizado a 3.500 metros do nível do mar impõe barreiras biológicas reais devido à escassez de oxigênio. Alertas emitidos pelo Governo de Mendoza informam que a falta de adaptação atmosférica desencadeia o mal da montanha a partir dos 2.500 metros, manifestando sintomas como enxaqueca, enjoo, tonturas e insônia.

Para os viajantes interessados no circuito turístico local, o portal oficial de turismo da Argentina orienta a realização de subida progressiva, consumo abundante de água e consulta médica prévia em casos de comorbidades circulatórias e respiratórias.

“L’unica cosa importante era salvargli la vita”: giornalista interrompe la diretta per salvare un cane travolto dall’alluvione, la storia di Alejandro e Bartolito

Immaginate la scena: un inviato televisivo con il microfono in mano, immerso nel fango e nell’acqua alta di una strada allagata, sta documentando in diretta nazionale le conseguenze devastanti di un’alluvione. All’improvviso, l’attenzione della telecamera si sposta: un cane sta per essere inghiottito dalla furia della corrente, ormai incapace di nuotare e di mettersi in salvo. A quel punto la cronaca si ferma, il microfono viene messo da parte e l’inviato si lancia letteralmente in acqua, finendo completamente sommerso pur di afferrare l’animale e tirarlo a riva.

È esattamente ciò che è accaduto a Puerto Vilelas, nella provincia argentina del Chaco, dove le recenti e violente inondazioni hanno costretto all’evacuazione oltre mille persone. Il giornalista Alejandro Pueblas, inviato dell’emittente A24 per il programma América Noticias, ha scelto di sospendere il proprio lavoro di reporter per compiere un salvataggio disperato insieme al suo operatore di ripresa, Valentín Correa.

‘Rats run away’: Facing criminal probe, Flávio Bolsonaro flees Brazil to U.S. after loss to Lula

By Brett WILKINS

“This reveals the DNA of Bolsonarism,” said one critic. “Bolsonarism is made of cowardice.”

Just one day after vowing he would remain in Brazil to disprove allegations of money laundering, corruption, and other crimes, far-right Brazilian Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro followed in his disgraced father’s footsteps by fleeing to the United States after losing a presidential election.

Bolsonaro, his wife Fernanda Bolsonaro, and their two daughters, ages 14 and 12, left Brazil for an unknown location in the United States, according to initial reporting by Isadora Teixeira at the Brasília-based news site Metrópoles, which was subsequently confirmed by other Brazilian and international media.

The Argentinian site Infobae reported that Bolsonaro and his family may have crossed into Argentina—which is run by his ally, far-right President Javier Milei—and then traveled to the US in a private jet. It is not known where the family went in the US.

Bolsonaro’s brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, lives in Texas while facing criminal punishment in Brazil after trying to use the Trump administration to pressure Brazilian authorities over the prosecution of his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who last year was convicted of conspiring to violently remain in power following leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s 2022 election win.

Flávio Bolsonaro, a 45-year-old senator representing Rio de Janeiro, was defeated by Lula in Sunday’s second-round election, but refused to accept the results and groundlessly demanded an annulment. The following day, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the seizure of Bolsonaro’s passport. He was supposed to have turned in the document Tuesday, but he didn’t.

US President Donald Trump also cast doubt on the election’s outcome, saying the contest appeared to be “rigged.”

Jair Bolsonaro also fled to the United States while refusing to acknowledge his own 2022 defeat, which occurred during the administration of former President Joe Biden.

Like Trump, Bolsonaro incited a violent insurrection in his nation’s capital following his loss.

Unlike Trump, Bolsonaro was held accountable for his crimes, and, in addition to a 27-year prison sentence—now being served under house arrest—is banned from running for any political office for the rest of the decade.

Now, with Trump back in the White House and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in charge at Foggy Bottom, Bolsonaro and his relatives are set to be issued US visas, a senior State Department official told The Associated Press.

The younger Bolsonaro’s flight—which may have been aided by his obtaining an Italian passport in 2023—contradicts his pledge on Monday, when he said, “I have never thought about leaving the country” and “I will hand over my passports and defend myself against this travesty.”

He was referring to de Morães’ order to surrender his passport amid accusations of corruption, money laundering, tax evasion, and foreign currency violations.

Bolsonaro is also the subject of an inquiry pertaining to the millions of dollars he raised from a disgraced banker implicated in a massive corrupt plot to finance a biopic of Jair Bolsonaro.

The senator has not been charged and denies any wrongdoing.

Bolsonaro’s flight stands in stark contrast to Lula, who spent 580 days in prison after being convicted in corruption cases stemming from the sprawling Operation Car Wash investigation.

In 2021, Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court annulled Lula’s convictions on procedural grounds, ruling that the court in Curitiba lacked jurisdiction over the cases and separately finding that former judge Sergio Moro had acted with bias in one of them. The decisions restored Lula’s political rights and eligibility to run for office, paving the way for his 2022 presidential victory over Bolsonaro.

Lula responded to the senator’s departure by saying, “Unfortunately, the Bolsonaro family is like that.”

“Brazil is his second homeland,” the president continued, accusing Bolsonaro of “bootlicking in the United States.”

Secretary-General of the Brazilian Presidency Guilherme Castro Boulos ripped Bolsonaro, saying: “Leaders face things head-on! Rats run away!”

“It is a shameful thing, which should make Brazilian society as a whole reflect, especially those who supported and voted for Flávio Bolsonaro,” Boulos asserted. “He slapped his supporters in the face and left them on the side of the road.”

“Almost 60 million Brazilians trusted him as political leadership to run the country, and 24 hours later, he flees,” he continued. “And it’s no use coming up with this talk of persecution, of dictatorship. He ran away because he must.”

“This reveals the DNA of Bolsonarism,” Boulos added. “Bolsonarism is made of cowardice.”

Erika Hilton, a member of the Chamber of Deputies—the lower house of Brazil’s Legislature—representing São Paulo for the Socialism and Liberty Party, weighed in on social media, calling Bolsonaro “a traitor to the homeland.”

In the United States, Congressman Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) said on X that “losing an election is not grounds for asylum.”

“Yet the Trump administration is giving Flávio Bolsonaro safe haven in the United States,” he continued. “The Trump administration owes Congress answers on its role helping Bolsonaro flee Brazil in contravention of Brazilian law.”

Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Center for Economic Policy and Research (CEPR), told Common Dreams:

Trump is now the most corrupt president in US history, raking in billions from his presidency. It’s no surprise when the most powerful corrupt authoritarian government in the hemisphere uses international law designed to protect the persecuted to shield another corrupt authoritarian government from criminal prosecution. Perhaps this is what is meant by the Trump-led ‘Shield of the Americas.’

Francesca Emanuele, senior international policy associate at CEPR, noted that “the United States has long served as a destination for numerous right-wing Latin American political figures who fled their home countries while facing corruption allegations, criminal investigations, or accusations of grave human rights violations, including crimes against humanity.”

“The list is extensive,” she added, “ranging from former presidents such as Panama’s Ricardo Martinelli and Bolivia’s Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada to dictators such as Nicaragua’s Anastasio Somoza.”

Emanuele also contrasted the actions of the Bolsonaros and Lula, arguing that the latter’s decision to remain in Brazil “reflected a commitment to the Brazilian people and a determination to defend his rights through the country’s own institutions, even when those institutions failed to uphold them.”

“Rather than leaving Brazil,” she told Common Dreams, “Lula stayed, fought to clear his name, and continued his political struggle alongside the people he sought to represent.”

IMF Urges Argentina to ‘Stay The Course’ Amid Growth Concerns

IMF spokeswoman Julie Kozack discusses Argentina's economic programme, growth outlook and $900 million IMF disbursement.

The Fund outlined four priorities for turning economic stabilisation into stronger growth and job creation as it backed a new $900 million disbursement.


The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Thursday urged Argentina to maintain its economic programme, warning that sustained policy implementation and stronger international reserves remain essential to reducing country risk as concerns grow over a possible technical recession.

IMF spokeswoman Julie Kozack said the government should continue implementing its current policies while ensuring that the benefits of economic stabilisation translate into stronger growth and employment.

“Our best advice for Argentina to continue reducing its country risk is to continue with its strong policy implementation, that is, to keep implementing the programme as it has been doing,” Kozack told a news conference in Washington.

She stressed that accumulating net international reserves and strengthening the country’s external position were fundamental to reducing financial risks. The Fund’s broader message, she added, was to maintain the current policy direction while extending the benefits of stabilisation across the economy.

Text Reads: | In light of the direct statements from Javier Milei, president of the Argentine nation, the escalation of the economic crisis is hitting society hard, where the majority of the population struggles daily against debt and job precariousness. The reality is that surveys reveal that nearly 6 out of 10 Argentine citizens have had to go into debt to survive amid the drastic drop in purchasing power. At the same time, the lack of employment and the loss of social rights worsen a landscape that deeply affects the quality of life of families, especially the youth. Popular discontent is growing in the face of official responses that seem to ignore the urgency of the crisis, forcing us to understand “The Other Side of the Coin”.

Addressing questions about the possibility of Argentina recording two consecutive quarters of economic contraction, Kozack outlined four priorities agreed upon with the government to support growth and job creation.

These include deepening capital and mortgage markets to expand access to financing, introducing greater flexibility in the labour market to encourage private-sector employment, advancing infrastructure projects awarded through concession agreements, and facilitating strategic investment through the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI).

Projects approved under the investment incentive scheme already exceed $76 billion, according to the IMF.

The Fund’s latest assessment comes as its staff and Argentine authorities reached an agreement on Tuesday on the third review of the country’s Extended Fund Facility programme, potentially unlocking a disbursement of approximately $900 million.

Kozack said the IMF Executive Board could consider the review in early December.

The Fund said the programme had continued to deliver results despite a more challenging international environment. Net international reserves exceeded the June target by approximately $4 billion, while the Central Bank purchased nearly $16 billion in foreign currency during the year.

The Treasury also raised more than $5 billion in domestic markets. With support from official creditors, the government secured $3.2 billion in guaranteed financing from international banks and was working to obtain an additional $1 billion before the end of the year.

The agreement maintains Argentina’s target of a primary fiscal surplus equivalent to 1.4% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2026, with a similar fiscal effort planned for 2027. It also preserves the existing exchange rate band system.

However, the economic outlook remains weaker than previously expected. In October, the IMF lowered its 2026 growth forecast for Argentina from 3.5% to 2.1%, underscoring the challenge of turning stabilisation gains into sustained economic expansion.
