OTRO AIRES
The economic crisis that has been affecting Argentina for over 30 years seems not to give relief to a country that is increasingly on its knees and has to face a very strong recession.
In Buenos Aires the Villas Miseria have become 34
Made up of a predominantly rural population, mostly coming from neighboring countries such as Bolivia and Paraguay in search of a better future, for over 50 years they have formed a belt along the center of the city and despite the various changes of governments there has never been any intervention that has managed to definitively eradicate a right to a dignified life.
Villa Soldati and Villa Lugano are 2 of the 34 that I have had the opportunity to get to know.
While everything flows as normal, Buenos Aires shows its double aspect: a city to show to tourists made of nightlife, elegant and melancholic tango bars and the other that of the cartoneros who increasingly crowd the streets of the capital and the Villas.
