From a legal point of view, what happened in Bolivia is a coup, can't be called anything else. Even if you think that Morales can't run for another term, his current term was supposed to end in january and he's been forcefully ousted before that term ended.
I think what lies in the background of this conflict is the big racial/class fracture of Bolivia, between the white bolivians and the amerindians. With varying degrees and local differences, the same class fracture is present in many countries of the continent. As usual in latin america, "defending democracy" is just an excuse to act. Both sides would be happy to have a dictatorship in place as long as it represents their class interests.
Sadly South America doesn't have much natural resources and even Venezuela is going belly up with their oil market which is downright insane. So, it's either drugs or coffee to bring money.
What exactly are you calling "resources"? Just oil or something else?
The geography of Venezuela/Colombia has nothing to do with Argentina or Chile's. Saying "south america" is an inmense generalization in this aspect.
I missed all the thread but, to answer the original question of hckosice, in the case of spanish it's very easy to understand portuguese. Like, I read something in portuguese and I understand 95% of it easily, only slang or words with a very different root is the only thing I can misunderstand. And I never studied portuguese formaly.
Then there is also familiarity to other latin languages, but not to the same level as portuguese. I would say for a spanish speaker the order from easiest to hardest is portuguese, italian, french and the hardest would be romanian.
I can only speak for the city I live in: In some neighbourhoods there are those different bins like olympian1010 described, but in most neighbourhoods (in particular the lower income ones) there is just one giant bin with all the trash together and the truck just comes and picks it up.
I don't think there is a specific norm regarding the use of plastic bags either, as far as I know you can throw the garbage like you want as long as you put it inside the bin.
Right, now when you mentioned it, I don´t remember any sequence from a state school. In other hand it´s not like I am a mega fan and watch them regularly, I remember only the one with Natalia Oreiro playing a servant or something named Milagros, she was a super star here in the days, almost everyone was watching it, she was even "on tour" in all cities in Slovakia one summer
That is Muñeca Brava. For some strange reason the show was incredibly popular in places like Russia or Israel, I would say even more popular than here. And it ends with her marrying the rich dude, because obviously that should be the dream of any poor person
well, this is well known here thanks the million of different Argentinian telenovelas assaults our TVs the whole days
That's a bit controversial here because private schools are generally for wealthier kids and I don't remember a SINGLE of those kind of tv shows in which the kids attend a state school. It's like depicting poverty is banned in those fantasy worlds.
No presents of any kind to the teacher unless you, for some personal reason, want to give him/her one (which would make you seem like the teacher's pet anyway haha).
In private schools you have to wear the school uniform every year. In state schools, it depends of your age: in primary school kids wear a sort of mandatory white lab coat ("guardapolvo"). In secondary school (ages 12-18), students wear whatever they want.
for your side, congratulations, you choose one of the two ways to continue decreasing the PBI Per capita year after year.
What? I voted for Lavagna man
I would vote the Ks if it came down to ballotage though.
And I think you are too simplistic in that analysis: in this country the president has all the power. It will be the decision of mr. Fernández what he wants to do with it.
How can be a goverment who increase taxes like "rigth" goverment?, or make promotion of the LDGB lobby, etc etc, how can a "neoliberalism goverment" being 148 of the world ranking of economical freedom?
or this: https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/tecnicamente-gobierno-mauricio-macri-es-centroizquierda-opino-nid2228356
He's clearly centre-right. Of course he's not Trump or Bolsonaro, but he's not very different from Macron or the PP in Spain. The economic freedom thing is an structural condition of the country, he can't do a 180° in 4 years.
I think he's pretty neutral to gay rights, being right-wing is not equal to being conservative anyway.
And the "communist" label for Alberto is just ridiculous man, be serious
I dont agree with LDOG in the description: the candidate of the goverment is socialism and the Fernandez are comunist, is a " leftist" figth.
Im really afraid about what will happen in the country, the Argentinian vertion of the chavism will return........why i have an Useless title like lawyer outiside my country.....
And you're simply wrong. Stop watching Milei youtube videos please
Damn, I didn’t even know you guys were having elections? I’m generally I’m the know about these things. Would you mind giving me a quick rundown of the major candidates?
There are only two "major" candidates: Alberto Fernández (leftist/socialist) and Mauricio Macri, current president (moderate centre-right). They got so far 47% and 32% respectively.
The third candidate has only 8%.
We have a very stupid system, this round is officially the "primaries" but in actuallity it works as a nation-wide survey. The next round is the official first round (in october) but the results will be almost the same (with only the very minor candidates eliminated after today). To be elected president in the next round you need either to reach +45% of the vote or have at least 40% with a 10% difference over the 2nd placed. As you can see, Fernández with 47% is all but elected at this point.
Fernández is not popular by himself, almost all his votes are provided (in truth) by his VP: former president Cristina Kirchner.
It's worse than that, why Jon wasn't killed as soon as they saw he killed their queen??? Grey worm had lost everything dear to him at that point and was esentially in charge of the kingdom but he still waited for a trial? lol
I'm really pissed off with my guesses because it means the ending was quite predictable. Still, I didn't predict the outcome of the main thing that the show is about, but it was such a wtf decision from the writers that I can't really blame myself.
My final predictions (let's see how much I can get right):
Spoiler
-Dany dies, killed by Jon or Arya.
-the iron throne is destroyed (99% sure of this because of what it symbolizes), maybe monarchy altogether is abolished as well (50/50 IMO)
- if monarchy is not abolished then my pick is Gendry.
-North becomes independent as Sansa wants.
-Tyrion lives.
-Jon may survive. If he does, he won't become king of course.
-Bran and his powers will be involved somehow in solving all this shit. Don't think he will be left out of the episode entirely. Hopefully he wargs into the Dragon or something like that.
-Bronn gets highgarden, as he was promised.
No clue about what could happen to Greyworm and the other unsullied when Dany dies.
And I guess ''valonqar'' were the bricks? None of the prophecies didn't happen in the end.
They didn't mention that in the show, it's in the books only. If you see that scene you'll see they omitted that part (on purpose, so they could do anything about her death).
