Before embarking on an “ego trip”, she (CFK) should look back in history and carefully look at what happened to: Hitler, Musolini, more recently..Mubarak, Gadhafi, Hussein...
Dictatorship never worked, does not work and will never work. CFK is hiding behind the “democracry” screen. She looks more than a dictator in the making than anything else. Hint: ...ammending the constitution to seek a third term???

These events do not bode well for liberty and property rights in Argentina. Unless you are connected to the Peronist mafia prepare to be fleeced.
