Carolina Amoroso on the Pope, Milei, and how the rejection of violence defined Argentina's future
Manage episode 422054625 series 3567020
Carolina Amoroso is an Argentine international journalist. She first came to Ukraine at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. As soon as she got here, she realized that she knew nothing about the country despite her thorough preparation for the trip. But even then, she understood that this war for Ukrainians is an existential one, a war for their own identity. In May 2024, Amoroso visited Ukraine for the fourth time, even cutting her honeymoon in Europe short for this purpose. In particular, she reported from the south of Ukraine on the lives of ordinary people. The journalist is sure that there is no fatigue from the stories of life in Ukraine among the international audience, it is present only in the media themselves.
Journalist Natalia Gumenyuk talks with Amoroso about the hypocrisy of human rights defenders in Latin America, the romanticization of Cuba, why the Pope remains a mystery to her, what to expect from Argentina's President Milei, and how political violence has become a thing of the past in her country.
