The stories of Taibo II in Guatemala

The article discusses Paco Ignacio Taibo II's claims during the International Book Fair in Guatemala about establishing 24,000 citizen reading clubs under his role as director of the Fondo de Cultura Económica. The number is questioned due to Mexico’s National Public Library Network having only around 6,400 facilities. Taibo emphasized the importance of reading in combating misinformation and global defamation campaigns, citing an interview with EFE. Additionally, the article covers the potential resignation of Argentine opera director Marcelo Lombardero from the Bellas Artes Opera House, though no official announcement has been made. There are rumors that administrative issues are being resolved, and Lombardero might remain until July 31. His departure could affect plans for an opera based on 'Profundo Carmesí,' which had already secured rights from Arturo Ripstein.
