esprit de corps. It's not all that common to see that group concern and hope these days, is it?

It's tremendous hearing young people in Argentina are paying such close attention to politics now, rather than just following passing, superficial events Looks as if they have been paying far more attention to what is being done in their names than Macri and his greedy fellow predators would want.

Macri and his cohorts have 5 months to create unimaginable chaos, still.

Looked for earlier images of Alberto Fernández and saw some from the years before Macri, and finally made the connection to his current photos. He has matured rapidly since the Kirchner days. He was always right in the thick of the action earlier, often very close around the President at important events.



He has probably had a lot on his mind since Macri wormed his way into office.

It's good to remember he was there when Néstor Kirchner led his country back through the gates of hell, out of the raging nightmare it was before Kirchner was elected. (I want to take space to mention for people who didn't know, Néstor Kirchner was also another world leader who had been tortured earlier in his life by a fascist dictatorship. He was a very courageous person.)



Thanks for the helpful update, sandensea.
