Clarin blocked edition: fingers point to Moyano with CFK’s consent
Under the excuse of a labour conflict there’s a clear intention to put pressure on the newspaper, said Daniel Santoro national news editor of Argentina’s main daily Clarin, which was impeded from circulating Sunday by 12 hour-pickets that respond to the head of Argentina’s organized labour, Hugo Moyano.

Mar 29th, 2011 - 10:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0So, the 'Southern Hoffa' wants a war with the Argentinan free press.
Mar 29th, 2011 - 12:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If the newspapers are shut down for a few days by neandertal unions this is ok because it shows where the irresponsibility lays, and it shows that graft and corruption is alive and well and administrated through the union bosses.
This will do the newspapers no long-term harm, and the longer CFK backs away from the law and comment on these illegalities, the more she becomes embroiled in the corruption itself.
And this is the gang-boss whe wants to be CFK's running partner in the presidential elections !!!
Everytime I read articles like this, it looks like the prelude to another ”coup'. That's exactly the way it begun in the early 70's that ended in the 1976 coup!

Mar 30th, 2011 - 01:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0Correct. All right-wing coups in Latin America were preceded by media campaigns to denigrate the democratic leaders in office. Mercopress' agenda is to denigrate the Latin American Left as a whole, but more specifically Argentina. It is not concerned with facts and certainly not with impartiality and fairness. Articles such as this one should be taken with a grain of salt.
Circumspection is always in order, but if it looks like shit, smells like shit and tastes like shit - it probably is shit.
Mar 30th, 2011 - 10:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Have you not read about the Presidenta's ongoing battle to curtail the activities of the Argentinan media .
You don't have to be paranoid to see that CFK is more than happy to use a union big-beast to do her anti-democratic job for her.
Evidence:
Minister of Security “Storm in a tea cup”
Presidential Office “No comment”.
Government manipulation of the police and judicary (alleged) - Priceless!
So the people who award Chavez with the Press Freedom award are the ones stopping the press from its own country from being free....
Mar 30th, 2011 - 01:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The continued hyprocracy of Argentina.
No, M.
Mar 30th, 2011 - 05:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the chavez 'award' was by a group of students who prefered to not see the bigger picture of totalitarianism.
You might say “Bless them, they're only students” or you might say “God help Argentina when there looneys start working for a living!”
The ones stopping the free press in Argentina are the (teamster) Union leaders, acting under licence from the Ministry of Security, the police and the judicary, and the President.
The latter people are already in work in Argentina, undermining the democratic process.
The former, the students, have yet to make their mark on society - and, with the Chavez award, we can see what sort of a mark they intend to make!
You really have to cry for Argentina.
