Presentan al país nueva alianza de carácter político-electoral con miras a presidenciales 2024

Caracas 01/02/24. (PS).- Representantes del Partido Comunista de Venezuela (PCV) Patria Para Todos (PPT/APR) y del Movimiento Popular Alternativo (MPA) anunciaron este jueves al país la conformación de una nueva alianza de carácter político-electoral a fin de participar en la elección presidencial 2024 y los procesos electorales previstos para 2025.

Oscar Figuera, secretario general del Comité central del Partido Comunista de Venezuela aseguró que debido a la coyuntura actual de las luchas de los trabajadores y frente a una “política neoliberal encabezada por el presidente Nicolás Maduro Moros, la cúpula del gobierno y del PSUV que afecta a las grandes mayorías, hemos decidido dar un paso en la dirección de construir una propuesta también en el terreno electoral”.

Explicó que se trata de la voluntad de las tres organizaciones de promover espacios de encuentro, de trabajo y de articulación con otros movimientos que coincidamos en la necesidad de construir una fuerza capaz de enfrentar a los dos grandes polos del desastre nacional o como decimos en el Partido Comunista de Venezuela, los dos polos burgueses del desastre nacional, un primer sector, que está en el gobierno quienes dicen ser una burguesía revolucionaria y está influida por la presencia de sectores mafiosos profundamente corrompidos”.

“El otro polo que consideramos debemos enfrentar también, es la fracción burguesa, también profundamente reaccionaria, aliada a los sectores del gran capital trasnacional norteamericano y europeo, que se expresa en la llamada Plataforma Unitaria Democrática cuyo programa también es neoliberal”, subrayó.

Entre tanto, Rafael Uzcátegui, coordinador nacional de Patria Para Todos (PPT/APR) señaló que tanto los partidos como las organizaciones políticas en el país “han sido aniquiladas, asaltadas usando la Sala Constitucional del Tribunal Supremo de Justicia o el Consejo Nacional Electoral, siendo el sector más agredido la izquierda venezolana”.

A su juicio, no hay una organización de izquierda que tenga registro electoral “porque lo que se pretende hacer no es otra cosa que partidos mercenarios u organizaciones bachaqueras hechas a la medida de un asalto patrocinado por el Presidente de la República con el aval del Tribunal Supremo de Justicia, de su Sala Constitucional y con el silencio del Consejo Nacional Electoral y otras instituciones del Estado como la Fiscalía”.

Aseguro que el paso inicial que dan “es un esfuerzo de puertas abiertas, no hay nada cocinado o acordado en secreto, todo lo venimos haciendo de cara a los problemas que vive Venezuela así como también al empeño de salirle al paso a quienes quieren impedir que la izquierda venezolana y el movimiento popular venezolano tengan una expresión organizativa para participar y protagonizar como lo señala la Constitución”.

Por su parte, Manuel Isidro Molina, presidente del Movimiento Popular Alternativo (MPA) consideró que esta nueva alianza es una buena noticia para el pueblo venezolano, quienes están inconformes con la oferta política electoral actual y las condiciones de vida que atraviesa el país. “Para nosotros en el MPA esta alianza es clave para determinar el futuro inmediato del país, no nos resignamos a la muerte de los mecanismos estatuidos en la Constitución vigente”.

“Vemos con amplitud que el reclamo a un proceso electoral transparente y confiable es unánime en Venezuela, solamente hoy, los grupos estrechos y en decadencia del PSUV y del gobierno de Nicolás Maduro, tratan de amañar el proceso electoral”, puntualizó.

Molina destacó que la acción a la que dan inicio, “emerge para torcer el rumbo que el gobierno nos quiere imponer, un rumbo autoritario, antidemocrático que obstruye la real participación, que le niega el derecho a los jóvenes venezolanos a inscribirse en el Registro Electoral, pretendiendo teledirigir un resultado que ya el pueblo venezolano derrotó”.

The Phantoms Part 1: Hollywood Tragedy | Bang Chan

Part 1 (You are here) | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 | Part 10

Synopsis: It was supposed to be a huge night for Chan, Changbin, and Han; they would be playing their biggest show yet at the Orpheum! Yet, it all slipped from their grasp within a matter of a few seconds, as all three passed away just hours before the show. What happens when they end up on their old garage floor and meet a someone who can make their dreams come true again?

Pairing: phantom!Bang Chan x fem!reader (Reader takes the place of Julie Molina from Julie and the Phantoms) [Does not occur in this chapter]

Genre: Julie and the Phantoms/3RACHA AU, Crack, Angst

Warnings: Mentions of death

Notice: Another idea that has stemmed within my brain! I have decided to take 3RACHA and Julie and the Phantoms, combining them into an alternate universe! In this series, Bang Chan will represent Luke Patterson, Changbin will be Reggie Peters, Han will be Alex Mercer, and y/n will take the part of Julie Molina! As with every series I write, I do NOT own the rights to 'Julie and the Phantoms!' I only hold the rights to the scenes and descriptions I create! I am excited to write this series, and I hope you all enjoy :)

Hollywood, California, 1995. The night that everything changed.

Last night was destined to be momentous for Bang Chan, Seo Changbin, Hwang Hyunjin, and Han Jisung - a triumphant step into the spotlight for their band, 3RACHA. The Orpheum, an iconic venue synonymous with "making it" in the music world, had finally opened its doors to them. It was not a simple accomplishment. Even after people knew who the band was, they still had to use every ounce of effort within them, calling in every favor they had from friends, family, and befriended executives to secure the opportunity. The day Chan received the fateful phone call inviting 3RACHA to perform a showcase at the infamous theater was unforgettable. The boys erupted into jubilant chaos in the cluttered garage - cheering, leaping, and shouting as if their dreams had materialized before them. Chan, the ever responsible leader, motioned for them to stop acting a fool as he attempted to remain professional for the secretary on the other side of the line.

Alas, 3RACHA had finally made it. The hours leading up to the performance were a blur of rehearsals, their focus razor-sharp as they fine-tuned each guitar riff, tightened every bass groove, and perfected the rhythm of every drumbeat. They poured themselves into the music, all in hopes to make the night one to remember for their fans and for cementing their place in the music industry. The night would be unforgettable, but not in the way the boys envisioned.

---

Microphone feedback rang out briefly through the stage room as 3RACHA ran through one last song before the show. Chan began the guitar riff for the band's lead track, 'Now or Never,' followed by three raps of Han's drumsticks.

"1, 2, 3!"

"Take off Last stop Countdown till we blast open the top Face first Full charge Electric hammer to the heart"

Chan's rich, melodious voice resonated through the venue, each note carrying a raw, electrifying energy that sent shivers through the crowd. His fingers kept up expertly with the fretboard of his guitar, each strum perfectly synced with the driving beat. As the lead guitarist and vocalist, the weight of the performance rested heavily on his shoulders, but he fulfilled it with grace and passion that was nothing short of breathtaking A confident smirk tugged at his lips as he glanced at the audience, their cheers spurring him on. Moments later, Changbin and Han stepped forward, their voices blending seamlessly with his for the pre-chorus, creating a harmony that seemed to light up the entire room.

"Clocks move faster 'Cause it's all we're after now"

Chan motioned subtly for Changbin, signaling him to join him at the microphone for the next verse. It was a part of the song they always sang together; although it had originally been written it in a tune solely for Chan. However, sharing the lyric with Changbin brought an undeniable sense of ease, grounding Chan even in the most nerve-wracking moments, whether performing or during a simple soundcheck.

Changbin instantly caught the cue, shooting Chan an exhausted yet eager grin, the exhaustion from rehearsals evident in his eyes but overshadowed by his enthusiasm. He approached the microphone stand, his movements quick yet deliberate, until his face was barely inches away from Chan's. Their voices joined in perfect harmony, a combined energy radiating through the air as the two began their shared lyric.

"Won't stop climbing 'Cause this is our time, yeah"

Changbin and Chan moved effortlessly back and forth to the tune of their own song, their bodies rocking and swaying with the beat. Grins stretched wife across their faces, uncontainable and almost goofy, as they fed off each other's energy. Chan pushed Changbin back with a playful shove, reclaiming the microphone and belting out his independent verse. As he hit the final note, he raised a hand from his to pump a triumphant fist in the air, a singature habit he had in between rest notes.

"When all the days felt black and white Those were the best shades of my life!"

Chan expressed pure joy as the band launched into the chorus, his smile wide and unrestrained. Beads of sweat glistened down all of the band members' foreheads, a testament to the energy they poured into every note and lyric. Their hearts pounded wildly, each beat louder and more intense than the thunder of Han's drum set; it was as if the music itself had fused with their very beings.

"Don't look down 'Cause we're still rising Up right now And even if we Hit the ground We'll still fly Keep dreaming like we'll live forever But live it like it's now or never!"

With three exaggerated guitar crescendos and a rapid-fire drum fill, the boys shifted in unison, turning to face Han as he prepared to take the spotlight. Their smiles were full of encouragement, silently cheering him on as he began his solo verse. His voice rang out clear and commanding, each word carrying the weight of the song's energy, filling the room with an electric charge that left the Orpheum hanging on every note.

"We ain't searching for tomorrow (tomorrow) 'Cause we got all we need today (today)"

Changbin served as backup vocals for the verse. His mid-pitched voice complimented Han's higher tone in an ethereal way. "Living on a feeling that's been running through our veins We're the revolution that's been singing in the rain"

As the four guys sang the final chorus, they clapped to the beat, their movements aligning effortlessly with the sharp rhythm Han's drumsticks repping through the air. Chan, being the performer that keeps the crowd on their toes, pulled off a fresh trick - swinging his guitar in a smooth loop around his body before catching it flawlessly. As he caught it, the guitar riffs kicked back in, powerful and precise, while smoke uprose dramatically from below the stage, shrouding the band in a haze of light and sound. The boys jumped all across the stage, their infectous energy igniting the room. Despite the hullabaloo of movement, their vocals remained impressively steady, demonstrating their dedication to the art.

"Keep dreaming like we'll live forever But live it like it's now or never It's now or never (now or never)"

The final high note was always difficult to warble, but Chan delivered it flawlessly, his voice unwavering and powerful. As the song, reached its climax, 3RACHA ended the song all facing Han, each member locking in for the finale. Changbin, Chan, and Hyunjin poured all of their energy into their final, thrilling guitar plays, while Han punctuated the moment with an impactful cymbal crash that seemed to reverberate throughout the entire building.

With the last note hanging in the air, they spun around to face the crowd, with Chan raising his forearms above his head in a motion of triumph. Their hair stuck messily to their necks and foreheads, and adrenaline still coursed through their veins; all four had one thought cross their minds simultaneously: the ride home was going to reek of straight teenage boy body odor - and it was one-hundred percent worth it.

The crowd for the group's soundcheck was modest yet attentive; said crowd consisted of two members of the audio crew, a couple bartenders lingering in the back of the room, and one girl wiping down tables. From the small audience came a plethora of applause, as well as a few cheerful "Sounds great, guys!" comments that echoed in the near-empty space.

One girl in particular stood out - the one wiping down tables. She clapped the loudest, her enthusiastic applause adorned with spirited cheering. Her encouragement drew grins and chuckled from the band as they wrapped up their set. Still laughing, they carefully put their instruments back onto their proper stands, the girl's reaction making them feel as if they just played a packed stadium.

"Thank you! We're 3RACHA!" Changbin grabbed his mic for one final quip, which he complimented with a swift wink at the girl. He readjusted his microphone to its previous stance before rejoining the other guys.

"Too bad we wasted that on the soundcheck," Hyunjin, the rhythm guitarist of the group, commented. "That was the tightest we've ever played!" He and Chan fist bumped as the latter adjusted his necklace back to the front of his shirt. Han was given the same fist bump from the former as he attempted to one-handedly comb through his disheveled hair.

"Wait until tonight, man, when this place gets packed with record execs!" Chan exclaimed, turning his attention back to the center of the crowd, his eyes widened in hopeful expectation. Chan's ultimate goal for the band was to secure a record deal, and tonight was the perfect opportunity to turn his dream into a reality. After all Chan had sacrificed to keep 3RACHA alive, from running away from home to countless late nights producing and writing, they deserved at least a couple of deals, right?

"Han, you were smoking!" Changbin commented towards the brunette drummer.

"Hm? Oh no," Han denied, waving his hand dismissively. "I was just warming up. You guys were the ones on fire," he finished as he motioned to the other three members.

"Could you just own your awesomeness for once?" Changbin held up his pointer finger accentuatedly as he raised his eyebrows at Han. Han turned to the rest of the guys for approval, his blank expression slowly turning into one of meek self-appreciation; his nervous glances were met with nods from his band mates.

"All right, I was killing it!" he finally admitted in the tone of an energetic yell as he turned back to Changbin. Chan rubbed his shoulders in an animated manner before the brunette went in for a hug from Changbin.

"Okay, well I'm thinking we fuel up before the show," Chan began, still panting lightly from the intensity of the soundcheck. "I'm thinking street dogs." The rest of the boys agreed on the food choice with an 'Ooh!' coming from Changbin and an enthusiastic, 'Yes!' from Han's end. Hyunjin, however, had made his way towards the front of the auditorium, shaking his head in disagreement.

"Hey, Hyun," Han called after him. "Where ya going?"

"I'm good!" Hyunjin responded, referring to the street dogs. Hyunjin was now leaning forward on his hands, engaged in conversation with the cheering girl from before. "I'm a vegetarian, I could never hurt an animal." The other three boys shot daggers at Hyunjin's boldfaced lie, but then again, they knew Hyunjin all too well - he was one do to anything for his own gain, even if that gain were as simple as impressing someone.

"You guys are really good." The girl disregarded Hyunjin's flirtations, a mild accent lacing her tone. Chan moved his free arm to lean against Hyunjin's shoulder as he muttered a "Thank you."

"I see a lot of bands. I've actually been in a couple myself. I was really feeling it." Her compliments were genuine, which made all four boys beam in delight.

"That's what we do this for," Chan replied as he pushed in front of all of his members in order to get closer to the girl. "I'm Chan, by the way." The rest of the guys followed his lead with their respective introductions.

"Changbin! Hi, I'm Changbin!"

"Han! Hey!"

"Hyunjin." The last of the band greeted the girl by shoving himself in front of Chan; the latter of the two then stuck his pointer finger in his mouth, wetting it swiftly and sticking it directly in the former's ear. Han flashed her an apologetic look before she introduced herself as Rose.

"Oh, uh, here's our demo!" Changbin handed Rose one of the CDs he had been carrying, as well as a T-shirt he claimed to be "size beautiful." Upon that comment, Hyunjin and Chan both shook their heads, Hyun complimenting his with a subtle side glance. Changbin caught on to the stink eye as Rose thanked him for the shirt, shrugging his shoulders slightly afterwards in response.

"I'll make sure not to wipe the tables down with this one," Rose joked.

"Oh, good call," Han responded, completely serious. "Whenever they get wet, they just kinda," Han paused, holding his hands out in front of him and wiggling his fingers in jagged movements before shoving his hands back into his pockets, "fall apart in your hands."

"Don't you guys have to go get hot dogs?" Hyunjin ployed as a way to make the guys leave him and Rose alone, undoubtedly planning to pester the girl with more flirtatious banter.

"Yeah," Chan smacked Hyunjin on the chest before leaning in front of Rose. "He had a hamburger for lunch today." They all giggled at the exposure before galloping away to purchase the infamous Street Dogs; Changbin did so with a pile of merchandise in hand. Chan made one last quip, however:

"Oh, and uh, Hyun? How's the bum rash, Mate?" If looks could kill, Hyunjin would have murdered Chan in cold blood.

Chan quickly escaped before that could happen, however, opting to catch up with Han and Changbin instead. A fit of giggles escaped his lips as he ran off.

---

Chan burst through the doors to the outside world, wrapping his arms tightly around Changbin and Han as they ventured down the street.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Chan enthusedly screamed as he took in the illuminated streets around him. Changbin replied with a scrunched nose.

"The smell of Sunset Boulevard?" he inquired with a chuckle.

"No, doofus," Chan answered, optimism still bright in his eyes. "Don't you get it? What that girl said in there tonight about our music?" Han and Changbin eyed each other perplexedly. Chan sighed, shaking his head. "It's an energy! Our music connects people. Connects us with people. They can feel our presence when we play." Chan eyed a group of fans lining up outside of the theater, smiling brightly as he did so.

"I want to have that connection with everybody."

"Then we are going to need a lot more t-shirts," Changbin responded, causing the other two to almost topple over in laughter. "But before we get shirts, can we get sustenance? Sound check's got me starving." Chan and Han nodded, muttering, "Yeah man," and "Of course," respectively.

As the three made their way to their Street Dog whereabouts, Changbin caught up to a group of girls standing outside of the Orpheum; he handed them a pile of 3RACHA branded t-shirts, and the subsequent squeals and calls for the bassist delighted his heart as he ran back over to his members.

The three eventually made it to the corner of Sunset Boulevard, where an Oldsmobile was set up. The open trunk contained hot dogs, hot dog buns, and every condiment imaginable. The three boys wasted no time in digging into the nourishment; the three of them messily assmbled their own respective hot dogs, with Han being the grubbiest of the three.

"Sorry, man," he spoke to the owner of the vehicle. "I got pickle juice on your batteries."

"Eh, don't worry about it," the owner replied. "It'll help with the rust." Han's faced contorted in uncertainty.

"I don't think..." The man creepily grinned at Han's aloud thought. Pickle juice did not have the chemical formula to clear rust off of a car battery, Han figured. The suspicious feeling in his gut grew; however, Chan grabbed his shoulder and dragged him and Changbin to an empty alleyway before he could think further on the matter.

The alley was adjacent to the Oldsmobile corner. The three guys plopped down onto an older couch towards the middle of the sidewalk; smiles were etched on two of the three faces, with Han still looking unsure about the Street Dog encounter.

"This is awesome, you guys!" Chan began rambling excitedly. "We're playing the Orpheum!" Joy completely enveloped the oldest of the three. He bit his lip, something he did whenever he felt a rush of adrenaline. "I can't even count how many artists have played here and become legends of their time. Louis Armstrong, The Bee Gees, the list goes on, mates." Chan glanced up at the starts and slowly closed his eyes as if he was making a wish; he let out a deep breath as he opened them.

"We're going to be legends."

Chan raised up his hot dog, encouraging the other two to follow suit in a sort of toast fashion.

"Eat up, boys. After tonight, no more Street Dogs. We're gonna be dining like rich kids." Chan ended his declaration with a chuckle, resulting in a smile from Changbin.

Chan took a bite of his hot dog first, followed closely by Changbin. Han was still immensely reluctant to even look at his; however, his mind had convinced him that it was not a big deal, that he was overthinking the situation. As such, he was the last of the three to scarf down his meal. Almost instantaneously, the gutwrenching feeling had returned; Han tasted a unique flavor, unlike the syrupy texture of ketchup, the tang of mustard, or the flavor of any other condiment; it tasted metallic, bitter, and unappetizing.

"That's a new flavor!" Han called to the other two, his faced puckered up in disgust.

"Chill man," Changbin casually responded, flicking his hand in a, 'do-not-worry,' motion. "Street Dogs haven't killed us yet!"

Talk about famous last words.

The exact sequence of events following Changbin's declaration of certainty was blurry. All the three could recall was an unappeasing churn in their stomachs, a sensation so intense that it forced the boys to the ground. Gasping for air, they clutching their torsos, their faces etched with pain and fear as they exchanged panicked looks. The world around them seemed to obscure moreso, the sharp wail of an ambulance siren wailing in the distance and echoing in their ringing ears.

Before they could process the unfolding calamity, their bodies grew limp, and they were lifted up by the strong hands of paramedics onto stretchers. The emergency workers moved precisely and urgently, working fastly in order to save the disaster at hand. Outside of the Orpheum, a crowd of fans looked on, stricken with worry and disbelief. Whispers spread among them like wildfire, prayers and manifestations filling the air as 3RACHA was transported to the hospital. They had saved up their allowances in hopes to see this show, but all they could anticipate now was a recovery from the three and a reschedule of the showcase.

By morning, news outlets would be covering 3RACHA's most notorious embellishment; unfortunately, it would not be the concert they worked so hard to make it to, or a spectacular recovery from their tribulated sickness.

TRANS DAY OF REMEMBRANCE 2024

Don't have the spoons to make a spiel about how solidarity in and out of the community is important, but wanting to highlight that as is. We need to speak out and show up for those who fight alongside us, and for those we've lost*.

Fun fact: All three cities have a mole which canonically helps miners find ores, and all three of them are visually distinct.

MOLAN is in Castele by the Life Master

MOLEO is in Port Puerto by the boardwalk

MOLINA is in Al Majik in front of the lake by the entrance

Hai presente... una stazione, un aeroporto, un porto, un qualsiasi posto dove ci sia una partenza? La gente si saluta si augura "A presto!" "Ma dai!" "E' solo un viaggio, che vuoi che sia?" (Eh già... che vuoi che sia una perdita quando non hai perso ancora niente? Una partenza è, sempre, dire addio a qualcosa...) "Vedrai!" "Il mondo è solo un fazzoletto!" (Già...) "...una cartolina ogni tanto scrivimi quelle cose che tu sai..." "...vedrai!". "Non ci perderemo... sentiamoci al telefono intanto..." (Eh già...una partenza arriva sempre all'improvviso, mai ti trova preparato a dire addio, a che la vita alla stessa misura si restringa a una voce senza volto, a una foto tristemente aggrappata al suo tempo, a quattro parole scritte che presto avranno perso significato e che il futuro immaginato non sarà più tutto il tempo a venire ma, tutt'al più qualche minuto ogni tanto, fra una cosa e l'altra.)

"Perú: Ciclos de Autoritarismo y Democracia"

A lo largo de la historia peruana, el poder político ha oscilado entre regímenes autoritarios y democráticos, dejando una huella profunda en la vida económica y social del país. En esta ocasión, exploraremos algunos de los episodios más significativos de estos cambios políticos, desde golpes de estado hasta reformas sociales y crisis económicas. 

Acompáñenme, Pulgas Aventureras, a recorrer esta línea del tiempo que muestra cómo el autoritarismo y la democracia han dado forma al destino de esta nación.  🐜📜💚

Para más información: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGQAK8BmfY/ZxfTBS_ko3pTxpdel1ad6Q/edit

Comenzamos con Juan Velasco Alvarado (1968 - 1975), un periodo marcado por la instauración de un régimen autoritario que disolvió el Congreso y reprimió a la oposición política. Durante su mandato, se llevaron a cabo importantes reformas, como la nacionalización de industrias y la famosa “Reforma Agraria” de 1969, que buscaba redistribuir la tierra entre los campesinos y reducir la influencia extranjera en la economía. A pesar de sus esfuerzos por implementar cambios estructurales, su gobierno enfrentó serias dificultades económicas, lo que culminó en su derrocamiento mediante un golpe de estado en 1975.

Continuamos con Francisco Morales Bermúdez (1975 - 1980), quien asumió el poder tras derrocar a Velasco. Su gobierno, también autoritario, se caracterizó por el control de los medios de comunicación y la represión de la oposición política y social. Morales Bermúdez centralizó el poder en el Estado y el ejército, pero descuidó las demandas sociales, generando tensiones internas. A pesar de sus intentos de mantener la estabilidad económica, su periodo dejó una marca de autoritarismo en la historia del Perú.

Pasamos al primer mandato de Alan García Pérez (1985 - 1990), donde la política económica tomó un rumbo audaz. García limitó el pago de la deuda externa al 10% de las exportaciones, aislando a Perú del comercio internacional y del crédito financiero. Esto, junto con una inflación descontrolada, provocó un colapso económico hacia el final de su gobierno, con graves repercusiones para el país. Sus políticas, aunque ambiciosas, llevaron a una crisis financiera que definió este periodo.

Finalmente, llegamos al gobierno de Ollanta Humala Tasso (2011 - 2016). A pesar de haber llegado al poder con un partido de izquierda, su administración mantuvo una política económica neoliberal. Su mandato estuvo marcado por numerosos conflictos sociales, especialmente en torno a los proyectos mineros Conga y Tía María, que enfrentaron una fuerte oposición popular. Sin embargo, uno de los logros más destacados de su gestión fue la creación del Ministerio de Inclusión Social, lo que permitió una mayor inversión en programas sociales y más oportunidades para acceder a becas educativas.

Queridas Pulgas Aventureras, la política está en constante movimiento, y cada etapa sigue moldeando nuestro presente. ¡Gracias por acompañarnos en esta travesía! Sigamos explorando y aprendiendo juntos. ¡Hasta la próxima aventura! 🚀✨

" Yo estaba en la habitación de al lado de Cuti y Licha. Te levantabas y el pasillo era Londres. Abrías la puerta y había un humo increíble. Palo santo había por todos lados. Llegó un momento en que le dije 'Licha, pará un poco' " -- The story of La Banda del Palo Santo as told by Leandro Paredes

IDK, it's either let these three share a room together or give them the connecting room.

....Un error de uno hace que sea más chiquito, porque el otro lo banca o le dice no pasa nada. O porque el otro la arregla sabiendo que es un amigo - Lionel Scaloni on AFAStudio

Cuti - Licha: *happily slanders Molina*

meanwhile, Molina: *tries not to cry while thinking about Cuti - Licha*

Cuti 🤝 Licha

It just had to be that way. The first and only time Cuti, Licha, & Molina played as starters in this World Cup, Molina scored such an amazing goal which gave us this moment when the last players embraced him leaving only Messi, De Paul, Licha, and Cuti.

#TMI: (Probably) the first ever they played together as StartingXI was on this edition of CONMEBOL 2017 (Sub20) with Cuti being Cuti got his 2nd red card (after the 1st one happened exactly right on their 1st match 😂 )

Our 98 Line ~

Many people think Cuti's recent tattoo is a silhouette of their WC photo, but it's actually from the Finalissima one.

UPDATE: LICHA'S NEW TATTOO !!

promesa cumplida: El Moli's tattoo (similar with Licha's)

Frequently seen together, DO NOT SEPARATE THEM EVER!!

Tenia recuerdos borrosos del Goofy Gaucho y pense que me lo habia imaginado de chico, así que era real... bueno bien por Walt por al menos hablar con un artista como Molina Campos, ahora no hacen ni el minimo esfuerzo

Creo que encima son algunos de los dibujos animados de Disney más viejos, pero sí, es realmente interesante que se tomó el tiempo de aprender de lo que estaba animando. Seguramente si la hicieran ahora lo harían teniendo en cuenta argentinos y latinos en EEUU, que está bien, pero no es lo mismo que hablar con gente de acá.
