critic

Reiterating the words of his predecessor Pope Francis, the new pontiff lambasted critics who "ridicule those who speak of global warming".

Far too often, critics say, he has let the chief off the hook after recent controversies.

There is a defiance and steeliness to the prime minister; with this performance, he reminded his internal critics just who it was who won that whopping majority in the election 15 months ago.

His critics see his socialist campaign and his growing popularity in the city as a threat — and he’s more than here for it.

These trials are one reason, his critics allege, that he is reluctant to leave office and face the judges without the shield of his national duties, power and profile.
