    • 2017 April 2, “Las dictaduras según Borges”, in El Nacional[1]:
      Se ha instalado en el proceder de radicales puristas y escrupulosos que, señalando yerros de la MUD y obviando sus aciertos, promueven frentes y movimientos de signo negativo para restar y dividir, en sintonía con lo que buscan los hegemones, a fin de que sus partidarios sigan siendo «botones que balbucean imperativos» y, gritando sus «vivas y mueras prefijados», continúen, disciplinadamente, «usurpando el lugar de la lucidez».
      It has settled in the behavior of purist and scrupulous radicals who, pointing out the MUD's mistakes and ignoring its successes, promote negative fronts and movements to subtract and divide, in line with what the hegemons seek, so that their supporters continue to be «buttons that babble imperatives» and, shouting their «prefixed live and dies», continue, disciplined, «usurping the place of lucidity».
