Is Merkel kind of a dictator?
In the larger scheme of the World, it’s not hard to certainly say that Angela Merkel has strong dictatorial streak. Much like every other level of German society – authority figures have very high discretionary rights and very little accountability. Not just chancellor (making immigration decision) but also teacher (grading students), landlords (preferentially renting house), or nightclubs (profiling Club goers at entrance). Also, long term chancellors are quite common in Germany. Kohl was chancellor for 16 years. Adenauer 14 years. This doesn’t mean that they are dictators. When they are elected out of office, they go. The comparatively long stays in office have more to do with the German dislike of all changes.
Bernie Sanders vs Donald Trump

Why Roma deserves the Oscar?
Is not about Trump, racism or something like that here. Is not about other films. Roma is something to see if you lived in Mexico City in the sixties and seventies. Mexico city as almost all Latin America was a background of the U.S. Military Forces. That is why the military took place in the…
Natalia Lafourcade: “I voted for AMLO with the hope of change, but we have to do it all together (interview)”.
Natalia Lafourcade wasn’t supposed to be here. She had made important plans. She thought she would be quietly at home in Mexico City with her father and sister, who has come to visit her from Chile. “I started a moment, space, to spend time with my family, at home, to reconnect with me, to compose…
