At a Summit of the Americas that has been defined by its absences—Maduro, Trump, PPK—the region’s remaining leaders should stand up for free trade and democracy.

 To remain relevant in a rapidly shifting environment, the PT must return to its base and find new leaders capable of voicing the needs that captivate Brazil's next generation.

El Presidente Piñera tiene más que claro que la luna de miel con la opinión pública no durará para siempre.
