    The woman is clearly deranged if she thinks that Argentina is doing better than Australia who will soon start its 22 year of continuous economic growth.

    I'm still waiting for a metric on which Argentina is considered better than Australia!

    Why don't they just sell it?

    They can't use it. And they still have to pay for other transport. They may as well sell it for hard currency. Very few countries have a plane just for their President. It's ridiculous that some tin pot loser third world country thinks it should be one of them.

    @6 Redrow- you mean the other 18, because the UK is one of the G20?
    @ 5 + 7 - As far as Tango01 is concerned, it must be a real pain to be told that you can't fly where and when you want and that a journey has to be broken in a place like Morocco (no disrespect) and continued with a regular charter or airline. Tango -o1 is a 21 year old B757 (with Rolls Royce RB211 engines - oh the irony!), so it is doubtful they would get more than $ 7-10m - there are newer aircraft in the Arizona desert awaiting the scrapper and this one (albeit with low hours) had an accident and is fitted in VIP mode, so a lot of work would be needed.

    Let us be realistics. The president of Argentina plays small role in the G-20 countries, therefore, she can never lecture about good prospects in macro economics and much worse about foreign cash flow currency.
    Argentina's debt old due debt to its bond holders is 1. 3 Billion USD , plus Argentina unsuccecssful control of USD currency leaving the country are indicators that its national bank reserve is smaller , in fact, if Argentina keeps the same path of currency lose, its national reserve will not last more than 35 years, considering that its USD lose is about 1.1 Billion per month.
    Bla, bla, bla is not suficient, macro facts are the best indicators of a country solvency adding to it the quality life, so how it is possible that an Argentina woman gave away her daughter for a refrigerator?
    Agentina is not a good economic model nor a good sample to create jobs for its own people, so what kind of lecture can she offer to the EU countries?
    Falklands? Please, let us be realistics, it is nothing to chat about anymore. Argentina must move ahead without looking the past.
    Did not the referendum speaks for itself ?

    You'd be surprised at how many countries actually do have a presidential plane. What appears to be unusual is that it's a full-on intercontinental airliner.

    Most other places (including the UK) tend to charter planes for international trips and have a relatively small fleet of regional airliner and business jets for shipping VIPs around.

    One of the main reasons Argentina was invited to join the G20 was BECAUSE it is a 'problem country' with huge debts. The idea being to bring it to the adults table to try to get the government to look outwards and at the bigger picture, rather than being entirely focused inward and short-term. In signing up to the club, the Argentine government agreed to many terms and conditions that they have ignored. It was a bold but failed idea to include them.

    On the plus-side Argentina is generally marginalised at the meetings and even though CFK is prone to ramble on twice as long as any other leader, no one listens. It does afford the opportunity for other leaders to confront CFK when she would prefer to hide away tweeting her random insults and not face them She would be better off staying home but she cannot resist a photo op. where she can be seen with the big players in the league.

    Her consistent bad behaviour at home and at the meetings has reduced her to the dotty aunt one has to invite to family occasions but no one wants to talk to.

    That including Argentina has not worked will not likely lead to suspension. (I am not even sure they can do that). I guess they could always reform again as the G19 and leave out Argentina without explanation.

    @10 19. Spain keeps taking part, even though it isn't a member. First order of business - drop-kick Spain out of the door. Second order - drop-kick argieland out of the door. CFK doesn't have an “economy”. She has a pile of shit. Why is the Tomato going? It's not as though argies know anything about “labour”. First thing in the morning for argies (about 11 am) “Up down, up down, up down” and seventeen more times. Then the other eyelid.
    @12 Argieland is only “in” G20 because the real members thought it would be an idea to have a representative “poor” country. One quick look at the statistics shows that argieland cannot qualify as being amongst the 20 “richest” nations. CFK should be put in her place. Serving the drinks, polishing the shoes and then “How do you feel about the measures we intend, fag end?”

    @21

    The formal birth date of the G20 goes back to G7 summit in Cologne during 1999. There were announced, following the approved creation of a Financial Stability Forum and the Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) of the IMF. It was created to establish an informal mechanism for regular dialogue between important countries (or considered so at that time).

    China had a privileged place and during this process there was never been any serious consideration to exclude it from the new group. There was a great discussion on the number of members and some lists excluded Australia, Korea, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

    Argentina acceded to the Group of 20 in a position quite different from today: the country was quite appealing to foreign investments and the international debt was under control and was timely honored.

    The relationship between the UK and Argentina were quite friendly (at that time) but not any real progress were made regarding the FI.

    For some reasons both nations, the UK and Argentina, squandered that opportunity.

    @27 I think it is better to be talking and meeting than not. I think they have succeeded in working together in times of financial crisis. I don't think we should underestimate what really goes on behind closed doors at these meetings. The photos and front of house stuff is just window dressing.

    @25 Whilst the G20 was formed to discuss international financial growth, development and reform, CFK seems to believe it is all about her. Some kind of platform for her to whine about the world being horrid to Argentina and not giving her what she wants, the Falklands, just because she wants it. I don't actually think she is capable of grasping any economics beyond 'one for you, ten for me' when handling the money belonging to the Argentine people.

    Can't believe that Argentina are still invited to the G20 meetings, CFK's policies of import controls, currency controls & protectionism are totally against the principles of 'cooperation and consultation on matters pertaining to the international financial system' of the G20

    Also most of the G20 countries have complaints against Argentina in some form or other so maybe it's time to kick the 'vagabundos' out!!!

    The complaints at the G20 about Argentina have varied from major 'not producing any accurate financial data' to minor 'rudeness in turning up late for everything'. But I am not sure there is the facility to suspend anyone from the G20. It is more of an informal club. They could just agree to reform without Argentina but for now they are stuck with the irritating child trying to distract the adults from working.

    Apparently CFK has announced she intends to denounce 'vulture funds' at the G20 because they are an annoying inconvenience to countries 'on the brink of default'. (And you can't fly your presidential plane where you want to). At least she admits Argentina is on the brink of a default.

    This issue is not on the official agenda but when has that stopped CFK trying to make the summit all about her?

    I guess it gives the heads up to everyone so they can suddenly be busy when she approaches them.

    It is a little odd that Argentina is a member of the G20, which consists of the EU plus 19 of the worlds largest economies. There are a number of other countries which are not members but whose economies are larger than Argentina's including: Switzerland (whose traditional isolationist neutrality probably precludes membership), Sweden, Belgium, Norway, Poland and Austria. Europe is however hardly under represented and there is the EU to represent them. Fair play that Two South American countries are invited to join. It's just a shame that the second South American slot goes to Argentina rather than Chile or rising star Columbia. Membership of the G20 for these more mature political and diplomatic cultures would benefit not only themselves but also their G20 partners.

    I do have the strong impression that Argentina is pretty much sidelined at these meetings. Furthermore Kirchner is one of the few delegates not to be able to speak English, which is a handicap at the informal meetings which take place away from the conference hall.

    THE RED CIRCLE.
    It's well known that different euphemisms are usually used to call the economic power in all the countries, in fact, conservative intendant from buenos aires city, mauricio macri indicated last week that there is a group called red circle, joined by influential people, who meet with the purpose of creating a political alternative which can win kirchnerism.
    If there is something that i praise of the last ten years, is the fact that the true powers of the country, which have always rulled argentina from the shadows, were unveiled more than ever.
    In a context like the actual one, where lies and mediatic operations are more active than ever by corporate press, and it's political partners, it's necesary to date the following extract of an academic work, which refers to the results of the parliamentary elections of 2009 and 2013, made by Professor Javier Zelanznik from the political science and international studies appartment at the Torcuato Di Tella University, his work was published on august 18th of 2013 in www.pagina12.com.ar by Horacio Verbitszky.
    The work is contundent, because it destroys any kind of mischievous lecture published in press.
    Although some people hate hearing this, like them or not, even after 10 years of rulling the country, f. p. v., is still the most voted political party from argentina.
    Unfortunatelly some people dont realise that they are commiting the same stupid mistake than after the defeat of 2009, when many detractors started to talk about the so called end of cycle of kirchnerism, however, 2 years later reality was very sad for the wishes of those people.

    Results of legislative election of 2009.
    F. p. v and it's allies: 30,3.
    E. p. c. s: 30,2.
    Pro and it's allies: 5,0.
    Left and Centre left: 8,8.
    Prov. and others: 4,4.

    Results of legislative election of 2013.
    F. p. v. and it's allis: 31,1.
    Disident p. j.: 25,9.
    U. c.r and it's allies: 25,0.
    Pro and it's allies: 7,7.
    Left and centre left: 6,2.
    Prov. and others: 4,1.

    MY ACLARATION.
    I must recognize that i committed a mistake in my comment 47, i said that professor's zelaznik work was published in pagina12, but actually it was dated partially by journalist horacio verbitszky in his sunday report. Anyway, you can find verbitszky's report in www.pagina12.com.ar and see more of what the he dated.
    On the other hand, unfortunatelly some detractors don't realise that it's too soon to talk about the so called end of cycle of kirchnerism, what they often manifest is just a wish expression more than an objetive fact. It's evident that those people can't see that it's a very wrong idea to understimate c. f. k. again, as they did in 2009 after the result of that legislative lection.
    Anybody can agree or not on c. f. k's ideas, but accept it or not, she's not an idiot, and she'll know interpret correctly again, the discontent of some social sectors of the country who decided not to vote for her party last month, as she did after 2009, when she created policies which benefited millions of people, which let her to become in 2011 into the most voted president since 1983.
    The last decisions taken by her government in the last days, in relation to income tax show that she's taking note of the result of the elections, because she knows that if her party repeats a similar result in october, she will be able to continue rulling the country without signifficant parliamentary obstacles.
    Respecting her comparisons with australia and canada, the editor of this report made a very mischievous lecture, due to she has never said that argentina has a better life standard than those countries, she just refered to trade surplus, reserves level, and fiscal deficit.
    I wish argentina to have someday the life standar and industrial and teconogical development of australia and canada, that's why it's necesary to continue having a strong statal intervention.

    CASPER: It would be good if c. f. k. and putin discuss about policies on gay rights, as a citizen and as a gay man, i can only tell you i feel really free since i have the same rights than heterosexual people, thanks to the politic will of almost all political parties which voted on behalf of gay marriage in 2010, but unfortunatelly not many gay people around the world can have the same rights.

    Any culture is usually more liberal at the supposed height of their economy. The Weimar years of Germany-they were known as the most orientation inclusive in the world!

    Then came Hyperinflation and a socialist leader with his own youth group. Bam. Literally Hitler.

    Did you notice that at the official photograph at the G20 that CFK had pushed her way into the front row to stand next to Putin. Angela Merkel and Obama were further away. Presumably this is for home consumption to show how important her standing is in the world.....what a self deluded person she is !!

    ISOLDE: If argentina were a recalcitrant debtor, like the court of appeals, and some our sepoys love repeating all the time, it would never make the two debts re estructurings it made, which were accepted by most holders, in fact the vultures who litigate against argentina represent just the 0,45% of the whole debt, so, it's not honest to say that arg. didn't have the politic will of paying it's debts. I know you hate argentina, but unless it would be better if you had more information when you give an opinion about our problems.
    TOOOLTODIEYOUNG:
    I prefer to be considered one million times like a moron, but not like a sepoy who takes the side of the people who want to prejudice the country. I was perfectly clear in my comment 54 about what i think in relation to detractors of kirchnerism, and about our conflict with the vultures.

    @65 axel,
    Can you give me a good reason why l should love Argentina?
    Your country wants to steal our land & dispossess us or worse.
    Your country also continually tells lies about us to the world.
    Your country is a bully, a thief & a liar.
    You don't like it because you can't get your own way, you can't bulldoze us aside.
    And the thing is, your country has caused ALL the trouble here.
    We could have been friends..................but, oh no, you want to conquer & rule us.
    You never will.
    Why should we humour you?
    We won't.
    Happy now?

    ISOLDE.
    You made a wrong interpretation of what i told.
    I have never pretended you to love argentina, i just wanted to give you more information, in relation to what you said in your comment 61.
    If you want to make an analysis about any of our problems, you should have more information, instead of making such an ignorant comment.
    Respecting our sovereign claim for the islands, i won't discuss with you again about it, because it has always been a waste of time.
    It's not possible to have a mature and honest debate, with somebody like you who doesn't have any intellectual honesty, and considers that we want to steal the place where you were born. It's evident that you never wanted to understand the true posture of argentina, which has always shown that it's disposed to dialogue with the u. k., in order to find a solution for this conflict, as the u.n. proposes.
    However, if you prefer believing that argentina wants to steal the islands, or force the islanders to leave the archipelago, or anyother mischievous lecture, without making a critic to the behaviour of the islanders, due to they have never shown any will to discuss a fair solution, and ask for the application of self determination which actually has never been invoked by the u. n. for this cause, you have right buy that ignorant lecture, it just shows once and again that it has always been a waste of time to discuss with you about it, happy now?.

    AXEL,
    You are correct about one thing. lt IS a waste of time talking to you.
    You have this weird, strange, wholy ridiculous idee fixé in your melon that somehow Argentina actually has rights in the Falklands when ANY sane person will tell you that you DO NOT.
    You are extremely ignorant, Axel & arrogant as well.
    And for your information, Bucko, we has a solution for this “conflict”.
    i.e. We OWN the Falklands & you DO NOT.
    Your country wants our country & you are NOT entitled to it.
    What would you call that, Dear Axel? l would call it thievery, wouldn't you?
    What is the point of a debate, Dear Axel? We are NOT going to give you what you want. There is nothing to “dialogue”about.
    You love to quote the UN.
    UNGA resolutions are suggestions, Axel. Not orders. And we decline.
    We will NOT discuss Sovereignty with you.
    However, my Dear Axel, UNSC resolutions are mandatory.
    What about UNSC Resolution #502 which ORDERED Argentina to remove its troops from the Falklands in 1982.
    Argentina refused.
    So, hypocrite, stop quoting UN Resolutions.
    Actually l am glad that you won't talk to me again as you have nothing interesting to say, only lies.
    à bientot, sweety.

    This made me laugh:

    “A bizarre episode came when Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner stood up to speak during the meal and rambled on for a full half hour about her country’s history and views, oblivious to the fact that some of the other leaders pulled out their translator earpieces and started chatting among themselves.”

    ISOLDE.
    Wrong again dear isolde, i recommend you again that you should search more information, in order to avoid your tipicall mischievus lectures.
    Firstly, i want to say that i have never omitted the horrible things that my country commited in different historical contexts.
    In relation to resolution 501, in think that it would be honest to recognize that actually both countries didn't comply with it.
    In the case of argentina, the idiot junta thought that they u. k. would never make a war for recovering the islands, they were so ignorant that they thought that if they took possession of the archipelago, and left a small garrison in the islands, it would push the u. k. to start negotiating with argentina for the sovereignty of the islands, in fact, the true purpose of the junta was to make a touch and go, that's why after having taken over the islands, argentine troops started leaving the archipelago the following day.
    On the other hand, resolution 502 not only asked the retire of argentine troops, which had started the following day to the invasion, but also asked both nations to solve their differences peacefully.
    Your so loved lady thatcher has never shown any will of searching a negotiated solution for this conflict.
    If she wanted to recover the islands for the u. k., she could have sent a huge military and humatarian mission to the islands, with the purpose of protecting the islanders from the terrible abuses that the junta commited in the mainland against our people, and at the same time start the conversations with argentina, in order to find a negotiated solution for this conflict, as resolution 502 asked both countries. However, a negotiated solution wasn't convenient for her political ambitions, because only a military victory would save her misserable government.
    Beside, you are suggested finding a negotiated solution with argentina, and you reject it, it shows that actually you have no will of finding a solution for this conflict.

    @71Axel,
    You're wrong again Axel.
    You've got hold of the wrong end of the snake, mate.
    We don't have to find a “negotiated solution”.
    We have a solution:- these are 100% OUR lslands.
    They are NOT your lslands.
    After your invasion in April 1982, it wouldn't matter whether you increased or decreased your troops.
    They should never have been here in the first place.
    Your internal difficulties with your junta, although deplorable, had nothing to do with the Falklands.
    Thats your business, keep it your business.
    The onus is/was not on us to”send a huge humanitarian(?) mission”(whatever that means?)to the lslands, the onus was on YOUR COUNTRY, to remove your troops as per UNSC Resolution #502, dear Axel.
    Which your country REFUSED to do.
    Argentina was in breach of a Security Council Resolution, & Argentina should have to answer to that.
    l would recommend expelling your country from the UN.
    What M.Thatcher did or did not do, is irrelevant to what happened, Axel.
    The crux of the matter is that absolutely NONE of any of this would have happened if YOUR COUNTRY had not illegally invaded the Falklands. A land to to which does NOT belong to Argentina & a land in which Argentina has NO RIGHTS at all.
    Finally, just in case you, personally are in any doubt at all, let me just say Axel, that we will NOT discuss our Sovereignty with Argentina or anyone else.
    Hope this helps.
    Btw-l thought you said that you were not going to talk to me anymore???????
    Another Argentine promise broken? so?

    71 axel arg (#

    I'm afraid your just plain wrong. PM Thatcher did attempt to find a negotiated solution. Talks were held with Alexandra Haig (the two Haig peace plans) and when these broke down (as his proposals were rejected by both the UK and Argentina) talks continued at the UN in New York between the British UN Ambassador Sir Antony Parsons and the Argentine UN Ambassador Enrique Ros with UN Secretary General Perez Cueller acting as go between.

    The British UN propsals went further than the Haig ideas and included an interim UN administration on the islands with both Argentine and British representatives. Negotiations would take place after Argentina withdrew its forces from the islands (under UN supervision). Argentina rejected these terms just before midnight on 18th May 1982.
    On 21 May 1982 the British landed on the islands in San Carlos Waters and the british proposals were withdrawn.

    As Haig as stated afterwards the main difficulties in the negotiations were not with the British who were professional, united and consistant throughout, but the Argentinians who were drunk, inconsistent and couldn't agree amongst themselves as to their position
