THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA 07.14.19

July 14, 2019 by Tia Tenopia

THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA:  SAL BALDENEGRO ON “INCOME EQUALITY RAISES ITS UGLY HEAD,” ALFREDO SANTOS ON “TRUMP THE CIRCUS RINGLEADER,” SOÑIA ROMERO ON HER ART AND CAROS AVILA ON HIS FILM “PRICE OF GLORY.”

This week Sal Baldenegro returns with his Political Salsa y Más blog. Reporting form Tucson, Arizona, Sal looks at how efforts to level the playing field for candidates seeking support by qualifying for campaign contributions don’t really give candidates from working class backgrounds much of an edge over wealthier candidates.

Alfredo Santos, editor publisher of La Voz Newspaper opines on how Donald Trump uses the same tactics as Barnum and Bailey to elicit oohs and aahs from a gullible populace.

Also this week, director Carlos Avila speaks about the making of his film Price of Glory which starred Jimmy Smits and we post a two-video visit to the studio of acclaimed artist Soñia Romero.

Enjoy your week on Latinopia!
