Putin’s Incomprehensible Admirers
OPINION By ENRIQUE KRAUZE A nuclear power invades a small, sovereign nation. The world is witness to this unjust war, minute-by-minute, image-after-image: relentless bombardments against the civilian population, harrowing testimonies, mass exoduses, scenes of indescribable pain. That alone should arouse unanimous repudiation of the aggressor and unrestricted support for the victim. But that is not the case. A current of
Read moreThe Problem with the ‘Enlightened’
OPINION By ENRIQUE KRAUZE Redemptorist leaders, daffodils in love with their self-proclaimed moral beauty, are not responsible for the consequences of their actions. This ironclad truth was the subject of “Politics as a Vocation,” a famed conference offered by German sociologist Max Weber in January 1919 in Munich . His words then reverberate in our current time. The circumstances when

OPINION By ENRIQUE KRAUZE Even though this is something that happened a few weeks ago, it is an issue that I don’t want to let go by unmentioned: Anti-Semitism has reappeared in Mexico’s public life, instigated by the powers that be.

By RICH GRANT We did not want to go to Auschwitz-Birkenau. After all, it had taken us a lot of time and effort just to get to Krakow. The sun was out, and it was a perfect day. Pretty Polish girls walked by in summer dresses. The cafes of Old Town were buzzing and there were buskers singing and juggling

By THÉRÈSE MARGOLIS Monday, Oct. 26, is Austria’s official national day, but because of the still-surging covid-19 pandemic, Austrian Ambassador to Mexico Franz Josef Kuglitsch and his wife Maria Kuglitsch will not be offering their traditional diplomatic reception to mark the day this year. Notwithstanding, Kuglitsch, who will be retiring and returning home to Vienna in January, did send out

By THÉRÈSE MARGOLIS If there remains any doubt as to whether or not Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) has assumed dictatorial powers, his blatant use of “trial by president” should be proof enough for anyone with even the slightest knowledge of how a democracy is supposed to work. Let me be very clear: The fact that AMLO has
