This week’s NEWS cover is dedicated to analyzing the opposition’s great dilemma: Does Peronism have a future? To rehearse a response we summoned political consultant Jaime Durán Barbawho analyzes in his article the transformations that the party created by Juan Domingo Perón underwent throughout its history. And it lands in its latest incarnation. Durán Barba says: “Kirchnerism’s adherence to 21st Century Socialism contributed to confusing the values of Peronism. Instead of promoting work, production and industrialization, Kirchnerism promoted ease, poverty, subsidies, crony capitalism. Like other leaders of that current on the continent, some leaders accused, rightly or wrongly of corruption, ended up in prison or on the run. It was a movement that governed during the economic boom produced by the good prices of commodities. Its leaders managed to create a floor of popularity, and also a ceiling that prevents them from returning to power.
This week’s cover also reflects a curious phenomenon of this end of the year; that of international figures who arrive in the country and they succumb to the spell of Argentina. In their brief stays they discover and become fans of the most popular Creole icons: carne, Boca, tango, Evita. Patriotic export marketing.
Weapons for everyone; the projects under analysis and the official lobby.
And a customary sports note, the boom of paddle tennis for women.
