    You know, when a left wing government starts to scapegoat and blame the unions for its problems, that a swing to the hard and far right is taking place.

    CFK's party isn't the National Socialists is it?

    She has it wrong. The issue is one that rots the core of Argentine politics. There is no middle ground. No consensus. It's either you're with us or against us and if against us you must be destroyed. This creates a dangerous instability in the country that manifests itself in many ways-coups, riots, looting. Angry rhetoric on all sides makes thing like looting a major possibility.

    @Anglotino

    Kirchner is a Peronista and, although the uneducated brainwashed masses will deny it, peronism is by definition a die-hard fascist movement, so I'm not sure why you'd express any surprise that the La Plata Whore's façade so transparently betrays its piercingly right-wing foundations.

    @4 Give it time. Some of the bonkers posters on here have already stated it is the work of the British government.

    Interesting that CFKC pretty much admits to being involved in 'good' riots against previous government - they were historic - but claims these riots are 'bad' because they are against her. What is a decadent riot?

    @5 “What is a decadent riot”

    Two possibilities..

    1) A riot where they throw champagne bottles instead of beer bottles

    2) The rival college punk band to our own in the late 1970's

    These people can do and tell what they want, the other people rub them gently the hair and say: “Yes, crissy. Don´t forget your pills before you go to bed.”

    In time the Left often becomes “the hard and far right.”
    Anyway, Cristina is looking for new 'enemies of the state.” Doesn't she have enough?

    Not once has this “leader” accepted responsibilty for any of her actions. What kind of a leader places blame on others for all the bad and takes credit for only the positive> HAs she ever heard the say....”the buck stops here?
    She is the worst of the worst as a leader. She cannot handle input form others, accept constructive criticism, alter plans midway that seem to be failing.
    Plan, impletment, review and modify as needed. Basic of basic concepts of any manager that she fails to possess. She is a one person destructive force.

    High inflation always brings social unrest. I wonder what the (inflation) tipping point will be? 40? 50?
    Gas went up 6% yesterday, 25% for the year so they are still below inflation, I imagine there will be another increase to make up for the difference shortly.
    Neither the business or Gov't can pay wage increases above the inflation rate. It won't take long for this to start grinding away at people's daily life.

    Her pet rodents are already spray painting the city walls with retarded hateful messages against Moyano and the Labor Unions. It's sad really. Considering that the people that did the looting were lazy unemployed Cristina supporters.

    Doesn't being involved in a labor union involve actually working? How would he associate people that don't leave their own hovels unless they're waiting in the welfare line or stealing from people's houses?

    Simon, I guess you are feeling it more because it is accelerating. I heard all of the products that Moreno put price caps on are no longer being manufactured so there are a lot of bare shelves.
    The good part of it is that it can't last much longer. It seems like the general population is finally getting fed up with it. I just wonder what the tipping point will be? Argentinians know how to deal with there problems since they happen about every 10 yrs. I am not sure what would happen in the USA if we had 36% inflation! I am sure it would be ugly.

    It doesn't look as though the Unions and others are trying to “destabilise” their government, but are trying to obtain a stable one.

    So where is the Scottish fantasist?

    Leaving his ‘whatever’ you could call TMBOA in a sexual sense (what a mental picture that brings up) to deal with this on her own.

    Perhaps the Scots have finally committed him under the Mental Health Act.

    “to form their political parties and win elections” but not taking advantage of the needy or the marginalized.

    Maybe it's time that KFC / TMBOA / Ol' Turkey Neck / The Harpy took a leaf out of her own book then......

    Cristina is right, this was a mockery of the legitimate, mass, insurrectionary uprising of 2001, set up by minority interests. There is no real material basis for a mass movement to topple Cristina because the alternative would be a right wing oligarchic government and austerity, therefore the people - and me, ChrisR, in case you're worried! - will stay loyal to the world's most beautiful head of state. If only we had a leader like her in Britain who told the truth and acted in the people's interests; there was actually a great drama on Channel 4 recently about that, Secret State...

    Oh dear god!!! As predicted, you have missed the point!!! I'm getting sick and tired of saying this; Talk to Simon68, you would do well to listen to what he has to say about how the policies of your “ most beautiful head of state” are impacting on the “Ordinary” Argentinian.

    This is what happens when the elected government ignores the people that it is supposed to represnt.

    Came-moron and his little b*tch Nick Clegg would do well to learn this as well. Before the masses storm, the whitehall and put them to the sword.

    BK is incapabile of making a post without a masterbatory statement os sex in it. Besides, he makes a post based on kowing nothing about what is going on in Argentina. He is a clueless horny, sad little man on the other side of the moon.

    More BK comedy on show I see.

    I'm pretty sure he has to be winding you guys up, nobody could say those things in their right mind. And quoting a fake drama as factual must be a windup.

    Argentina, failed government, failed leader, failed economy, failed international relations, so essentially its all failed on every level, it really couldn't get any worse.

    So Cristina has got one of her toadie judges Dr Silvina Brocamonte (see article by Adrian Ventura in La Nacion of 14.8.2012) to declare the expropiation and summary eviction of the Rural Society from thier legally acquired premises at Palermo So far no mention of any compensation for this illegal eviction from private property and even if its promised it wont be paid
    Expect more fireworks from the farmers great and small shortly

    #23 He's actually not the head of state, his 18 year dead grandad still officially is, and as a corpse probably is the ugliest!

    BK is a joke, even as a sock puppet.

    the only alternative to CFK is another peronist style president anyway... as they say the peronists can make life impossible for any non-peronist president anyway, so the only viable president is a peronist...

    which = yet more years of shit populist theory that ultimately, inevitably, ends in economic disaster.

    WHich is the great shame for Argentina as a nation and means they will likely never recapture the status and success of their early 20th century nation (very pre-peronist)

    Argentine is, in the meantime, a tragedy in action.

    the BK sort of sock-puppetry support is just a laugh.... (anybody who thinks cfk is attractive is on to a loser in the “My opinion carries weight” categories by default..she's a hag who even maggie-the-milk-snatcher could've given a run for her money...but at least maggy had balls, cfk defo~ doesnt.)

    I digress: one day Argentina will get a proper leader who isnt shackled by vote-buying by food-parcelling the poor into block votes.

    #31 Anbar you notice that in BK's eyes asslips never errs? Even the greatest leaders in human history have made mistakes, grave mistakes. When asslip kirchner's puppets blindly follow her without serious criticism, the people fall in line, lock,stock and barrel and start down that path called “hitler's highway” because there is no one to see what see is doing and stop her.
    And when you never err that makes you inhuman......which explains her Frankenstein looks.
