Spanish term or phrase: estar presente
I think "is present in Argentina" sounds a little ackward
in English... at least to me, but I can't come up with anything else... Would you help me please?? Thank you!!


El riego de la disolución social está presente en la Argentina. El riesgo de la lucha de todos contra todos está presente en la Argentina. La idea de justicia por mano propia está presente en forma subyacente en nuestra sociedad. La disolución de las instituciones por el descrédito y la desconfianza recorre las calles de la Argentina.
¿Cómo hacemos para restablecer la paz en la Argentina? ¿Cómo podemos ser capaces de reconstruir los lazos de la solidaridad social? ¿Cómo afirmamos la cohesión social de nuestro país?
