Argentine presidential candidate Milei goes to the opera — and meets both cheers and jeers

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Both cheers and jeers for Argentina’s right-wing presidential candidate resounded with acoustic perfection inside the country’s legendary Colón Theater, laying bare the country’s polarization on the eve of Sunday’s runoff.The audience had gathered Friday evening in Latin America’s premiere opera house that is world-renowned for its acoustics to watch a performance of “Madama Butterfly” — but Javier Milei soon became the main event. A group began insulting him as he sat in the front row of a box alongside his girlfriend.“Milei, trash, you are the dictatorship!” some attendees chanted at the candidate. He has downplayed Argentina’s bloody 1976-1983 military rule, saying the number of its victims is far below what human rights organizations have long claimed, among other controversial positions.Some videos on social media also showed a few orchestra musicians playing the “Peronist March,” an anthem of the political party of Economy Minister Sergio M...

Matt Wallace birdies every hole on back 9 in Dubai and matches European tour best

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:16:36 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Matt Wallace made nine consecutive birdies Saturday, all of them on the back nine for a 12-under 60 in the DP World Tour Championship.Wallace had a chance at the only the second 59 in European tour history. He had 202 yards to the green on the par-5 18th on the Earth course at Jumeirah Golf Estates. But he hit into a bunker, and hit out to inches from the cup for a tap-in birdie.The nine consecutive birdies equal the European tour’s best by James Nitties of Australia in the 2019 Vic Open. The tour said it would not be considered a record because of preferred lies from overnight rains. Bernd Wiesberger in the 2017 Maybank Championship in Malaysia also had nine birdies in a row while playing under preferred lies.Wallace also matched the European best — but not an official record — with 12 birdies in one round. Raphaël Jacquelin set the official record in the 2013 Turkish Open.Wallace holed from 30 feet on the 10th hole and from 18 feet on the 1...

Las propuestas de Sergio Massa para llegar a la Presidencia de Argentina

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:16:36 GMT

(CNN) –– El actual ministro de Economía de Argentina, Sergio Massa, ya lo dijo en una entrevista con medios locales: “El problema hoy es que tengo los dos sombreros puestos, el de la campaña presidencial y el de la gestión”. Esto podría verse como una desventaja o como una posibilidad de mostrar con hechos lo que vendrá en caso de quedarse con el sillón de la Casa Rosada.Sin embargo, los datos parecen no ayudar. Mientras la oposición lo acusa de usar recursos del Estado para ofrecer en medio de la campaña múltiples beneficios a la población y a sectores empresarios, su gestión en la cartera económica carga con un gran aumento en la inflación interanual.¿Quién es Sergio Massa? De las idas y vueltas con el kirchnerismo a la precandidatura presidencial por el peronismoLo cierto es que desde que la coalición oficialista Unión por la Patria lo propuso como precandidato presidencial, Massa no hizo una presentación oficial de lo que sería su programa de gobierno. Sin embargo, declaraciones...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Matt Wallace of England made a 30-foot birdie putt on the 10th hole and didn’t stop until he birdied the rest of them, tying a European tour best with nine birdies in a row for a 12-under 60 that shot him into the lead Saturday in the season-ending DP World Tour Championship.“That was fun,” Wallace said as he walked off the 18th green on the Earth course at Jumeirah Golf Estates.Even better was the 54-hole lead when Tommy Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland and 36-hole leader Nicolai Hojgaard couldn’t catch him.Wallace hit the ball so purely down the stretch that his final six birdie putts covered a total of 15 feet, 8 inches (nearly 5 meters).
