Argenzuela as we are know calling it is following the Bolivarian principles of Chavez in trying to nationalize Repsol/YPF & paying the absolute minimum in compensation.

At least Chavez had the guts to do it openly & face the wrath of the international business community whereas CFK is trying to do it underhandedly making excuses about inadequate investment etc.....,

Turns out that people are a lot more educated these days ........ go figure !!!

Under national security laws it might be easier for Argentine to nationalize YPF, USA breaks many international laws with the national security excuse.
