The protests against Claudia Sheinbaum’s government have been used by some digital media outlets and commentators from the MAGA movement to denounce Mexico’s supposed transformation into a “narco-terrorist state.” In a context where the US has declared war on “narco-terrorism” in Latin America, the implication is clear: they are calling for Mexico to be the next target.
November 20 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Francisco Franco. We interviewed British historian Paul Preston, author of the canonical biography of the Spanish dictator, at a time when Spain's youth seems to be increasingly embracing Franco's figure.
Our other interviewees this week include the Baroness de Rothschild, the veteran singer-songwriter Patti Smith, and Ben Collins, head of the satirical website The Onion. And finally, we bring you the story of the floating hotel that started out in Australia and ended up in North Korea after a series of unfortunate events.
We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
