Jul 18th, 2012 - 09:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0So the people strike and they bring in the army, for supposedly security reasons and in no way to break the back of the long running strike. Thats Argentine democracy for you, why doesnt Christina “Give peace a chance”????
#1 When the “people” on strike in question are the police, this seems pretty unremarkable as a response!

Jul 18th, 2012 - 10:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0And you don't think it at all remarkable that the police are on strike in the first place?
@2 why not send police from other provinces instead of the military surely they can find 240 spare police officers nationwide?
Jul 18th, 2012 - 11:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0the answer, the army will have no problem in crushing the epic police strike when ordered unlike other police forces who may be sympathetic towards the strikers plight.
rule with an iron fist, its a good job she gave a pay rise to her armed forces as she will be needing them a lot in the future, maybe to police the hungry at food ques, or peaceful student demonstrations or dare i say it INVASION??
What more can happen in Argentina before we start seeing mass civil unrest? I doubt it will be long now!

Jul 18th, 2012 - 12:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0completly agree this is a milatry crackdown on provinces which are beggining to get tired of being fobed off with excuses from BsAs and have seen their share of federal tax revenues shrink whilst BsAs has seen them grow. This is the beggining of civil unrest in the Argentine provinces and the governments response is to send troops to shut them up using force. This is representative of the actions taken by a Milatry Junta not a democracy. All people have a right to strike peacefully and to prevent this using milatry forces is a disgrace. @2 I dont understand how you can claim to be alligned to the left wing of politics and not support workers rights to strike!
This civil unrest will spread throught the provinces and CFK will hopefully be ousted from power.
Also it would seem the poor people in the slums are not happy...

Jul 18th, 2012 - 03:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The police are workers just like anybody else, only their job is made harder by the crooks that Kretina's government subsidize to shout at her rallies!!!!
Well, as they say, this could be the beginning of the end.
