You did manage to have an extensive discussion with a reporter in (Western) Jerusalem about how the […]

El pasado 10 de septiembre, el mismo día en que a Charlie Kirk le sellaban el pasaporte al otro barrio solo para que luego absolutamente todos los medios conservadores y liberales no dijesen que bajo ningún concepto se puede justificar el asesinato de alguien solo por decir cosas que no nos […]

ENG: "Yes, it is true that there is less insecurity caused by gangs in El Salvador. However, violence against women, the poor and those who express different opinions continues. It is true that Bukele put an end to the gangs, but he also put an end to democracy. That was the price." ESP: “Sí […]
