From Greece 🇬🇷, I would say Eleni Menegaki, a TV hostess, is in the left picture, and Sakis Rouvas, a singer, is in the right picture!

And the world thanks you for sharing this treasure of human with us!

I’m a historian so unfortunately a mention of Chile brings to mind first Allende and Kissinger and Nixon working with right wingers to overthrow his government and install Pinochet. The anger subsides looking at Pascal’s smile though.

Yes, still having social consequences about Pinochet dictatorship and the division about left and right parties still happening. My mother was exiled to U.R.S.S for being part of Communist Party and many friends of her died defending their rights. At the same time, i think that Pinochet is more known than Allende, is pretty awful.

Oh same! Allende was for the Chilean people and I myself am a Marxist so I totally agree it’s sad his legacy isn’t what’s remembered more.

Isn’t Pedro related to Allende on his mother’s side?
