From Alpamallag, a family farm, I only remember barley and pencos with their tall chagüarqueros. Maybe they harvested some other grain because they ate different coladas almost every day at my place. Mazamorra, as Dad called it, was a thick soup containing cabbage and potatoes, and the Huasicas ate it with fried corn. A true beauty that my sister Alicia hated from an early age. Mom laughed when she said that she thought the Minister of Economy only ate coladas to save money.

Sergio Massa and Javier Milei will go to the polls for the new president of Argentina

With a contorted face, the disheveled candidate yells: State, put mommy’s @#$&*% in mommy’s ortho… (He’s not speaking in signs, but if I reproduce literally he’ll kick me out of the paper). To explain what the state is for him, he uses “his favorite metaphor of children locked in containers subjected to a rapist”*. No comment.

My #FavoriteDaughter lives in Argentina and it calms me down that Massa won the first election round and I say so in X, then my #FavoriteDaughter attacks and comments: Luckily, you’re a writer and half hippie. Economy and finance are not your thing.

Massa vs. Milei: 3 factors that will define which of the two will be the next president of Argentina

I mean, who knows about economics and finance? Neoliberal economists and financiers or socialists, certainly not, both of them draw water to their mill, get rich and look at us workers from afar.

My #FavoriteDaughter is right: I don’t know economics, but I understand what I see and what I read.

Definitely, I don’t like Economics. Mine are people, humanity, reason, letters, books, hugs.

A canophile who could become president of a big country like Argentina, according to Marcelo Falak: “The last two weeks of the far right have been a circus made up of plans to renounce paternity, break relations with the communist Vatican and privatize whales. With Milei now far from the favoritism attributed to him and his need to throw himself into the arms of PRO’s “yellow socialism”, the dollarization project – that threat which, to make matters worse, has been announced, without dollars to save the peso and without of known parity – it is more questionable than ever.”

Indeed, I don’t know economics, but to hear Lilia Lemoine saying that women pierce condoms to get pregnant and that men have the right to renounce paternity, I don’t need to know economics.

Neither Javier Milei nor Sergio Massa won the first round: an analysis of the electoral situation in Argentina

Nor do I need to shudder at the prospect of turning babies into a product that can be bought and sold, just like a pound of meat, flour or bread. I guess it all fits together because they will be sold by mothers who got the guy pregnant against his will; and he, exercising his right, will not assume responsibility; and she, in order not to have to eat only colada, sells the baby. It closes well, doesn’t it?

Anyone who understands economics at all will be able to say that these are phrases from the campaign dictated to him by his advisors, that his proposal for market freedom is relevant. But distorting history, covering up pain, insulting the memory of blood and repression of a country and “celebrating with laughter” as confirmed by Sebastián Lacunza* is already perverse, insane.
