Lupara bianca: Der #Mafia-Boss im "Weissen Haus" läßt nicht nur im eigenen Land Menschen verschwinden. Und #Milei freut sich als Argentinier sehr, daß ein #US-amerikanischer #Diktator die Traditionen (1976 bis 1983) seines Landes aufleben läßt: #Desaparecidos – seine Vorgänger ließen auch Kinder verschwinden.

#Verbrecher entführen, Verbrecher töten, Verbrecher jubeln, das Mittelalter kehrt zurück.

Au lendemain du délibéré, l’embarras était déjà immense dans le camp socialiste, qui a conservé sa place au sein de la majorité de Damien Castelain tout au long du mandat."
