As the conductor of the Univision News, Ramos has covered five wars (El Salvador, the Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq), and numerous historical events.
The terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of apartheid in South Africa and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Ibero-American summits, guerrilla movements in Chiapas and Central America and elections on almost the entire continent. Ramos has participated in several presidential debates.
Ramos has interviewed some of the most influential leaders in the world. Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. Sarah Palin, Harry Reid, John McCain, John Edwards, Al Gore, George Bush Sr., John Kerry, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez, Felipe Calderon and dozens of Latin American presidents.
“Look, Ramos,” the woman said to me. She’d recognized me as the guy from TV as we waited for an elevator, and she had something to get off her chest. “I don’t watch the news anymore because all they do is talk about Donald Trump. I’m sick and tired of it. Please change the subject.”
President Donald Trump has once again denounced journalists as being the “enemies of the American people.”
It’s disturbing that Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Mexico’s president-elect, has chosen Manuel Bartlett as one of his administration’s top officials. Bartlett is widely believed to be primarily responsible for the country’s presidential election fraud in 1988. I don’t understand López Obrador’s reasoning, and it’s inconsistent with the promises of change that he made during his campaign and since his election, more than a month ago.
There are times when you can’t hesitate to act. Nicaragua is going through one of those times, having arrived at a turning point that could change everything. And at the center of it all is a young man of 20.
It was the great betrayal. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto betrayed millions of his countrymen when he didn’t demand that President Donald Trump apologize for likening Mexican immigrants to criminals and rapists when Trump launched his presidential campaign, nor did he dare tell Trump during a humiliating 2016 news conference in Mexico City that Mexico would not pay for a new border wall. It has been obvious since then that Peña Nieto, an incompetent and cowardly leader, will not defend Mexico when it comes to Trump.
There are two things I don’t understand about Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua’s president. The first is why he so wants to be like Anastasio Somoza Debayle, the tyrant he tirelessly fought to overthrow decades ago during the country’s civil war; the second is why he lives in a house that isn’t his.
At what point did we become desensitized to the shocking news that the bodies of three murdered students had been dissolved in acid? When did we stop searching for the 43 missing college students from Ayotzinapa, Mexico, who disappeared after being kidnapped? When did it become normal for more than 100,000 people to lose their lives to violence in a six-year presidential term?
It was supposed to be a day of love. It ended as a day of death.
In Latin America there are a group of presidents — political dinosaurs — who have stuck around for a long …
President Donald Trump’s most recent racist remarks don’t surprise me. What does surprise me, however, is the fact that it took this long for so many people to accept the fact that the president subscribes to racist ideas.
