I say :
The methods,we employed to learn were time passed in the centuries not favoring any particular movement of history,but were instead rooted in learning everything about what had happened before,even from sources deemed --unacceptable - by the powers that be .!.......
The fat boy has learned to steal money just like his Mom and Dad. The Argentines are afflicted with the Peronist cancer and Maximo is the latest generation. Peronism is like a bad skin rash which you can't get rid of.
Jan 28th, 2012 - 11:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0perhaps he will follow his parents , and he to will rule argentina,

Maximo Kirchner, the ‘favourite son’ with ever growing influence in her mother’s administration.
Jan 28th, 2012 - 12:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How did this headline make it into print - Influence in?? Come on - we say influence on!! And since when is Maximo a girl - on HER mother's administration??? Dreadful.
And ever growing girth. Didn't his father die of a heart attack? You would think he would stop whatever is giving him the munchies.
Jan 28th, 2012 - 12:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He is being groomed to take over from CFKChaves but I cannot see him being popular with the voters.
Can anyone else see the resembalance between Hitlers Nazi regime and that of the K's regime here or am i the only one? Bear in mind that CFK and Nestor are both apparently half german.
Jan 28th, 2012 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If she angers the Unions much ore he will probably have the same fate as Menem's son...
Jan 28th, 2012 - 02:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Stay classy, maxi!!! :-)
Jan 28th, 2012 - 03:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So, in summary:
Jan 28th, 2012 - 04:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 01) He has no formal appointment within the country's political system, yet told Bow Wow how to run the country when CFK was off having her neck smoothed out;
2) Is a smart 'kid'of 34 who dropped out of Law School andd was given the family fortune to look after;
3) He “cultivates a low profile, doesn’t give interviews and never speaks in public”, so can he speak or is he unintelligible or just shy?
4) “Though he has a larger build than his late father, Maximo has inherited Néstor Kirchner’s gaze and casual dress sense” it looks to me like animosity in his gaze and his dress sense borders on being on that of a slob;
5) And his crowning glory the La Cámpora movement comprised of 'rich kids'.
Well what a catch for the country.
I think he's Hugo's son.
Jan 28th, 2012 - 04:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0looks like argentina has a Kirchner future then,
Jan 28th, 2012 - 08:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0not very bright and overweight, imature and lusting for power .
I wonder who would the writer of this article (article that is not even signed and we cannot know who wrote it) like to have influence in the Argentinian Government -I like the word Government more than administration-
Jan 28th, 2012 - 08:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe Corporations?
Maybe Concentrated Media groups like it used to be till a few years ago?
Maybe International Banks?
Maybe foreign monarchies??
I wonder if these same journalists have something to say about the influence and support that European leaders like Sarkozi and Berlusconi gave to those dictators like Khadafi or Moubarak before the revolutions in these countries, before they were shown by the media like monsters.
Please watch the picture here:

Let's trust media that support ideas and that does not change its words depending on the nationality of the leader they are writing about.
The Government that CFK's heads is influenced by PEOPLE and masses more than her son. Saying that he could be the next president is really giving readers really WRONG INFORMATION. Nobody in Argentina can think so...
Let's be CRITIC, stop buying headlines like if they were a Hollywood Movie.
Do not let media wash your brains so easily, ask for proofs, ask for certainties, not for speculations. Apart from this, we live in a globalized world, much of what happen in Argentina has to do also with foreign interests.
I say.
Jan 28th, 2012 - 08:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unfortunately it is headlines that sell papers,
The people are not stupid, but they all like a good juicy headline,
No body is supposed to believe what they read in newspapers, but some believe everything and anything they read,
For that is the power of the media is it not,
It has the masses listening, reading, and watching, by the millions,
It is very influential powerful and intimidating.
.
@13 briton: it's true, people like juicy headlines (me included)
Jan 28th, 2012 - 08:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0On the other hand, information is important for the life of societies, that's why it should be controlled in a way, without compromising the freedom of expression.
That is why I support the law that goes against corporate media in Argentina, the one that CFK's Government impulsed and the Congress voted.
I agree with you about some media being “influential, powerful and intimidating”.
They can also be very intimidating, and accusing,
Jan 28th, 2012 - 09:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When you try to control the freedom of the press,
Them they claim that democracy itself is being threatened,
That they have the right to investigate anything thus they consider is in the best publics interest,
At this point you get the results of bad journalism and the infringements of rights, like Maxwell
The news of the world, and the scandals that go with it, which drags the word decency into the gutter,
Even today 4 journalist were [helping the police with their inquires]
Controlling the press or freedom of the press, has its good and bad sides,
But witch would you prefer??

Crown Prince Maximo?
Jan 28th, 2012 - 09:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Anybody read Saturday's Guardian yet? The paper of choice, I believe, of the Malvinistas....

A growing number of young Argentineans’ are questioning their nation's claim to the disputed islands
Jan 29th, 2012 - 01:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0While some Argentineans’ still claim the Falklands for their own, increasing numbers are daring to say they should remain British
As more and more wake up to the real world, they begin to understand, that the islands are British, and will remain as such,
Sooner or later CFK will understand this,
The sooner the better, then we can go home in peace.

Jan 29th, 2012 - 03:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0I am laughing your UK criticism regarding Argentina political life in this newspaper. Where do you get your sources ? In the bathroom of your dirty pubs located along the Thames ? You guys are amazing. “

WHAT !!!
I am wonder why you are so verbally distractive to something that you only have seeing in some documentary.
By the way, is it true that fog increases colon irritation and constipation among English people? That may explain their bitter thinking and the lack of observing their own reality. Do you still live in a Monarchic land my friends. YEAP.

There is no way that censoring the press is acceptable in a democratic society. The filter we should all use is our own intelligence. But to suggest that it is right to censor the media is one of the tools of fascists.
Jan 29th, 2012 - 09:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0The suggestion that a lot of young people are not singing from the same hymn sheet as CFKC over the Falklands is exactly the conclusion I reached when talking to Argentines. It is the last concern on their agenda and think it is a lost cause.

Jan 29th, 2012 - 11:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0You say :
There is no way that censoring the press is acceptable..........
I say :
We recognized that inproved participation of civil society depend on strenghtened the right to access information and building civil society
capacity to exercise this right ,technology is making easier Governments to share informations with the public and for the public to hold decision makers accountable,in this regard it is essential to work towards universal access to information and communication techs.......
“technology is making easier Governments to share informations with the public ”
Jan 29th, 2012 - 01:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, but it would be completely wrong if the public was only listening to government propoganda. The opposition, minority and alternative opinions should have the same platform so people can make their own decisions. The CFKC's government wishes to silence any media that does not stick to the government line. And fines independent consultants from questioning the figures put out by the government. If they had nothing to hide they would welcome the challenges.
I am laughing your UK criticism regarding Argentina political life
Jan 29th, 2012 - 08:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0pot kettle black would help .
Is “Maximo Kirchner” the result one gets when entering “Kim Jong-Un” into Google Translate and asking for a Korean-to-Spanish translation?
Jan 30th, 2012 - 08:01 am - Link - Report abuse 025 Dan4
Jan 30th, 2012 - 12:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good idea, but I think 말을하지 않는 뚱땡 is probably closer: “Fat boy who does not speak” :o)
