What a terrific democratic country. The Kirchners plan to stay in power for 10 to 15 years.
Of course, it may simply mean that they are confident that no-one else in the country has the intelligence to depose them.
Or is this a dictatorship masquerading as a democracy? It's the way Hitler started. And how many Nazi war criminals, or their offspring, are still in Argentina?

In Latin America, with the exception of Chile and Brazil, it is vital that governments stay in power because when they lose they either end up dead or in jail. There is a huge corruption scandal breaking with the DictaKs it will be interesting to see how it comes out. The opposition is somewhat united and if they can hold the Ks will be out next election cycle.

fredbdc, in Brazil you can not be prosecuted while holding public office, so that just leaves Chile. There are several folks in the congress with murder charges, but as long as they continue to buy their votes, they move with impudence around the country.

1. What an ignorant comment. If Kirchners wins the next election, that would mean they were not as bad economy managers as the media want to make you believe. We'll see!!!
