They are faced with a possible moral crisis aggravated by a deep recession and political turmoil that is not a random situation but a living reflection of the canyons dividing the Brazilian soul as we speak. Beginning last year, Brazil has seen itself submersed in political turmoil, economic recession and at the center of a health epidemic. Brazilians find themselves in the midst of a structural crisis. As the world waits for its caipirinha, samba and beach party, the “not-so-serious” Brazilians have their minds elsewhere. The money stolen from the Olympics might curb the Brazilian party.

In fact, she claimed that her administration deserves a Nobel Prize in economics for the work it did:“I think the society they [the Macri administration] received was a society that had the highest purchasing power in Latin America. Read more: Weekend Roundup: Macri Receives Death Threats, Cristina Wants A Nobel PrizeThe Macri administration couldn’t disagree more. The Macri administration has claimed that the Kirchner administration destined too many funds to subsidizing energy consumption as a way to garner votes. However, what she seemed to most care about was denying allegations (primarily from the Macri administration) that her administration was entirely responsible for the delicate economic situation the country is currently experiencing. Former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was interviewed yesterday by journalist Roberto Navarro on the political TV show Economía Política.

The Macri administration has announced aims to boost public work and attract investments of US $100 million and has called this new direction “The Marshall Plan.” Sounds familiar? That’s because Macri is borrowing the namesake of a strategy that was used by the US to help Europe rebuild after World War II. It was named for US Secretary of State George Marshall and had bipartisan support under the Truman administration. “Argentina is conditioned by the factors of the region and the world.”Rocca also said, “Argentina must also define its commercial relationship with China so employers can define their investment.”Of Argentina’s commercial relationship with China, Macri has said he prefers a more “balanced” relationship with foreign investors.

Tarquino was not only one of the best restaurants in the city but one of the best in Latin America, coming in 48th in the region in 2015. The world renowned restaurant, located in Hotel Hub Porteño, hadn’t released any plans of this ahead of time but Liporace, current executive chef for the Casa Rosada and former Tarquino chef, explained the restaurant’s closing in an emotional FaceBook post. This weekend, Tarquino served its final dishes before head chef Dante Liporace abruptly closed its doors. Fear not food fans, Liporace has already revealed that he is working on a new project that “will be 100 x 100 Liporace.” So there’s hope for the Liporace experience outside of the Casa Rosada. Someone couldn’t handle the heat, which makes me think reality television just missed out on an opportunity.

The letter was announced on the Sala Sede Press:“We ask Saint Cajetan for bread and work. Unemployment has become a significant problem in Argentina especially amid a difficult economic climate. “Bread solves part of the problem, but only part of it, because you haven’t won that bread through your work. It’s one thing to have bread to eat, but it’s another to being it home as the fruit of your labor. As an organization, it also provides community services such as food distributions.

There is simply no shortage of stuff you can buy in support of Rio 2016. When Rio won its bid to host the Olympics in 2009, the country went into celebration mode. ImageIf the Rio 2016 organizing committee has one thing on lock, it’s swag. VenuesPerhaps the most anxiety over the preparations for Rio 2016 has been reserved for the construction and revitalization of the Olympic venues. Sounds like a dystopian novel – or just daily life in Rio de Janeiro as it prepares to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

Oil Prices In Supermarkets Set To TripleThe Macri administration recently eliminated oil subsidies. Oil prices had not risen significantly in Argentina for the past few years, thanks to a number of government-enforced measures. Since 2008, the government had maintained the price of oil through a private trust, subsidizing the store price of soybean and sunflower oil. On Thursday, the National Production Ministry met with the chamber of oil merchants and a price increase was authorized: a 6 percent increase in the price of sunflower oil and a 4 percent increase in oil mixes. Last week, supermarkets experienced oil shortages as consumers flocked to supermarkets to stock up ahead of skyrocketing prices, so area inspectors were called to supervise the stock of oil.

Saturday, July 30, 2016 Pope makes historic visit to AuschwitzPope Francis walks through a gate with the words “Arbeit macht frei” (Work sets you free) at the former Nazi German concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau in Oswiecim, Poland. One man gave the pope a picture of himself surrounded by other emaciated inmates in a bunk, and asked Francis to sign it.

He later spent a few minutes quietly greeting 11 Auschwitz survivors, kissing each of them on both cheeks.

Lula’s lawyers said in a statement that they had not been notified of the court’s decision but intended to prove his innocence. FIRST TIMEThis is the first time that former president Da Silva, universally known as Lula, will stand trial for charges related to the Petrobras scandal. On Thursday, Lula’s lawyers petitioned the United Nations Human Rights Committee on the grounds his rights had been violated in the corruption investigation. The Supreme Court took over the Lula investigation later in March after Moro released a wiretap of a conversation between Lula and then-President Dilma Rousseff. “Lula is a victim of abuse of power by a judge, with the complicity of prosecutors and the media,” the petition said.

“Our presence representing the PO stands against the murderer of students and teachers Peña Nieto and against Macri too. “It’s up to us to show solidarity with our colleague workers in Mexico who are being tortured and killed.

Teachers such as Ezequiel Amarilla, 36, attended in support of the thousands of teachers currently demonstrating in the face of repression in Mexico against Peña Nieto’s latest education reforms. Many of those demonstrating before the Pink House yesterday, like Adriana Garza, 22, were students, and determined to show their solidarity with the 43 missing students “disappeared” from Iguala in 2014 with what human rights organizations have dubbed as the complicity of the Mexican security forces.
