“Moyano whose support for the Kirchner’s couple has been crucial is now pressing President Cristina Fernandez for the vice-president post in her presidential re-election ticket for the coming October election.
“We workers want to reach power and this fact annoys many people, but that’s our aim and we will not desist,” Moyano continued.”

So, this Argentinian union leader under investigation for international money-laundering and corruption
(i) supports CFK party in government
(ii) wants to be her vice-president
(iii) wants power for the people (read: unions)

This is redolent of Jimmy Hoffa (jury-tampering, bribery, fraud, prison),
the Teamsters Union (mafia, corruption, extortion) and
Richard Nixon (impeachment).

It's like Hoffa standing for high office as Nixon's Vice President !
