Rampant corruption, but they will deny everything, that's how they believe things will get better for them and worse for the others. The crust of corruption is so thick, it is going to need a real fight to penetrate and cut away. Supporters of Cristina are as corrupt as she is, not even Sarah Palin is that corrupt.

if only closing clarin will undo what they destroyed in years of BS news printing, “boycott Clarin” and anyone selling that garbage newspaper, Moyano is doing a great job with the picketeros he should always keep the enemy of the state on their toes, we have enought leaches in Argentina, nobody will miss clarin.

The article appears to be about criminal activities.

I am always suspicious when there is an attempt to stifle the media. People can chose to read the newspaper or not. They can use their intelligence to believe the content of a newspaper or not. But they have the right to read it and make their own decision.
