Argentine farmers and government exchange strong accusations
The head of the Argentine Rural Society (SRA) Hugo Biolcati demanded the government of President Cristina Kirchner “to leave pride aside” and said that they “should open a window of the intolerance wall” because “we are a country thrashed with corruption, exclusion and poverty”. Read full article

Aug 02nd, 2010 - 12:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 01) The Rural Society has lived during the last 200 years looking down on the needs of the Argentines. They talk about poverty but they don't want their pockets to be touched, they talk about dialogue but they feel disturbed by diversity and plurality.
2) In Argentina, there are 13.7 million ha. that the agriculture won over from cattle raising and this created a productive structure in the last decade in Argentina where 77% of the soil is in hands of contractor business organizers.
What we've tried at the Ministry has been to place in the middle of the discussion what the agricultural subject we must defend is. For us, it’s those who work the land, takes risks, buy and invest; we want more production with more grains and more producers.
Thanks Huguito!!

It's funny that this guy uses this antipoverty talk whilst the interests he's defending are those of powerful landowners.
Aug 02nd, 2010 - 11:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What Ms Kirchner intends with the taxing of agricultural exports, I don't really know. But it is an efficient way to preclude the country from de-industrializing and becoming overly dependent on commodity exports. I wish Mr Lula did the same in here.
It's noatble the hipocresy of this thief, i would like to know what kind moral authority has he to criticise the corruption of the government, while he appropiated two streets from carlos acsares village,and included them to hes big fields, beside he talks about the poors, and he refuses strongly to distribute a little of the huge profitability of the agrarian sector, please, if people has any memory, i dont think that they are so moron to believe in the words of this son of a bitch, and the worst of this, is that many of those shamefull integrants of the oponent politic partys are totally submited to the caprices of these fucking corporations, that were one of the main supporters of the strike of 1976.
Aug 02nd, 2010 - 11:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I hate to discuss these items in a hostile environment full of brit warmongering, I prefer to talk on our differences at home but...seems that readers here aren´t a representative sample of the perception of majorities in Argentina.
Aug 03rd, 2010 - 02:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Any assessment would show that Mesa de Enlace is more credible than Government...unless Artemio get the job.
And for greedy, corrupt leaders...just take a look at the Cabinet.
As Charly García put it: for me, ´Say no more´ - here.
