The Charagua manuscripts EL PAÍS USA EDITION

Dear readers, ‌ Over the course of several decades, a Spanish priest named Lucho Roma abused hundreds of Indigenous girls in Bolivia. He photographed them, recorded them on video and documented his crimes in writing. This is the second diary of a pedophile priest that EL PAÍS has managed to access. The case had remained buried until just over a year ago, when this newspaper published the diary of another Spanish Jesuit priest named Alfonso Pedrajas that caused a media earthquake in the South American country. This caused more cases, like that of Lucho Roma’s, to come to light. ‌ The Copa América 2024, which kicks off on Thursday, promises to be the biggest edition of the championship ever seen, and the sporting event has also generated anticipation over the opening ceremony. Feid, the Colombian reggaeton artist, will be in charge of the opening musical performance, surprising many who were expecting Shakira, who performs one of the tournament’s official songs, Puntería.  ‌ And in another twist to the plight of Julian Assange, one of the main pieces of evidence against David Morales, the former Spanish soldier whose company spied on the Wikileaks founder and his lawyers during his prolonged stay at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, has disappeared.  ‌ We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS US Edition. ‌
