EDITORIALE: MANAGUA – PECHINO, LA NUOVA ROTTA

Greatly surprising the international community, Nicaragua has decided to reestablish diplomatic relations with China at the highest level and, in consecuense, break diplomatic relations with Taiwan, which have always been commercial, never political. It is no coincidence that Taiwan has never come out in support of Managua in the different stages of its political action and that it has never tried to pressure its main sponsor – the United States – who has always been reminded that the relationship was only about business. The free zone is the only portion of Nicaraguan territory that interested the Taiwanese, that are now only recognized by 13 countries, apart from the Vatican, of the 197 that make up the entire international community.

PUNTA DE LANZA: EL LIBERALISMO EXPERTO EN DIVIDIR

Lo vuelvo a repetir, soy un liberal de convicciones, independiente, que, durante muchos años, permanecí en el centro, con algunas coincidencias con la izquierda, las que hoy veo tan absurdas, que desaparecieron de cualquier mirada distraída de mi parte, ni si quiera de soslayo, ni menos por simple curiosidad.
