Explosive materials were set off outside the door of the European Union’s branch in Argentina, located in an expensive neighbourhood. Early police reports said the explosion only caused superficial damage and that there were no injuries. Read full article

If so they aren't very coherent.
However I'm impressed they've now mastered bomb technology enough that the explosion actually escapes the bag it is detonated in. What nex? A broken window? Golly gosh we're in trouble.
1 - I agree The Kircher Youth - its got RG government incompetence written all over it. Reason it didnt cause more damage was that it was left in maximos lunch box, all the food muffled the explosion.
May 02nd, 2012 - 06:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sadly I'm a little surprised that this was outside the offices of the EU rather than outside the UK embassy or a UK linked business. I expect that there will be an increased level of security.

May 02nd, 2012 - 08:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0Indeed it is a surprise and you're right, the Lady in Black is firing up the passions. The blame lies with government and the unending falsehood of the ludicrous Argentine claims to the Falklands.
How predictable. Complete nutters. How can a country and its politicians behave so badly all of the time? Its like watching kids in a childrens play ground throw toys around when they dont get their own way.
May 02nd, 2012 - 08:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0The RG's have no fucking chance whatsoever of getting the Falklands. None. If they think that this sort of juvenile behaviour reflects well on them then they are very much mistaken.
It makes them look like pathetic school kids.
Give peace a chance? Nazi-stylee? La Campora Stylee?
May 02nd, 2012 - 09:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0About time that Argentina was given a seat on the UN Security Council (;-)
May 02nd, 2012 - 09:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0....then she could call in UN Security forces to protect her citizens and foreign national on the streets of this fair city.
There is little evidence that Argentina's security forces themselves have either the ability, the energy, or *the inclination* so to do.

Oh and would anyone, anyone at all like to comment on the probability of the Argentinian police catching the people who did this? or are we going to get the “We have no leads” excuse???
They are investigating if the “bombers” weren't two right-wing morons that, in lack of arguments, almost hurt themselves trying to create one :)
May 02nd, 2012 - 12:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is La Campora (militant wing of KFC's political party) 'giving peace a chance' through direct acts of terrorism.
May 02nd, 2012 - 12:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well done argtards on just being retarded. YPF-style peaceful negotiations anyone?
Violence is always to be regretted and rejected, but having said that, and remembering Hemingway's “For Whom the Bell Tolls”, and unintended tactic of such bombing by Argentine terrorists might be to push the EU to also take a stance to support EU members who have Overseas Territories or Outermost Regions (Denmark, France, Netherlands, Spain, UK).
May 02nd, 2012 - 12:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Of course, the Argentine terrorist-sympathsizers might say that knowing such a dynamic would emerge from such violence against the EU, the MI5 or Spain's Centro Nacional de Inteligencia might be responsible. Hmmm... ¿Quién sabe?
Best way to stop these two right-wing morons from hurting themselves in the future is to put guards in front of EU buildings and not mention their existance. As we all know, media exposure is what they live for...
May 02nd, 2012 - 01:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is falling apart much quicker than I imagined. I said a few months ago as it gets cold and rainy it was going to get really ugly there and it is worse than I imagined.

Guzz, right wing anarchists would blow up a gov't building not an EU building. How does that make sense? Or is it RG logic that I don''t understand?
@16
May 02nd, 2012 - 01:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That wouldn't be the only logic you don't understand, lad :)
As the right-wing is extremely reduced and in lack of followers, the only way to create a fuzz would be to seek internacional backup, thus selecting a target that would point to the left-wing. But they are so stupid, they chose an EU building :)
@16 Guzz is clearly having a breakdown of some type. Better just leave him alone for a while to come-down
May 02nd, 2012 - 01:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You're not wrong. Right-wing activists would have targetted the government, not the UN. It could be a false-flag from the Spanish, but it's hardly their M.O. and it's not as though they don't have enough popular opinion against Argtardia at the moment anyways. Ockham's razor would suggest it is more likely to be La Campora starting up a period of militancy against foreign targets in order to support KFC's reign.
Let's face it, they're going to be ice-cubes in a few months.
@18 Based on your “baselines” and the fact that no one attacked the UN (another one of you “facts”:) ), I now know for a FACT it wasn't La Campora :) :) :)
May 02nd, 2012 - 01:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@19 Why would they attack the UN? La Campora know that as the Militant wing of the Front for Tyranny they need to get Argentina onto the Security Council in order to ruin the diplomacy there too. They wouldn't attack a UN office and would instead turn to the EU, which is their target du jour, for stealing companies, trying to annex land, et cetera et cetera. The Front for Tyranny made it quite clear that the EU is their enemy of the day, so it fits with their motivations.
May 02nd, 2012 - 01:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They also didn't attack any Chinese targets, a communist country that is buying up large parts of Argentinian industry and land. Surely the right wing would see that as a target.
Little of what you say makes any sense.
Guzz, you are stupid. Really really stupid.
May 02nd, 2012 - 01:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This has CFK written all over it, EU backing Spain on possible sanctions, blaming the lack of MercoSur/EU FTA on instability from members etc.

@20
May 02nd, 2012 - 01:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have no clue why they would attack a UN office, you tell me, that's just another alternative reality presented by you in post #18.
Why would La Campora attack a EU office??? :)
@21
So, according to you, La Campora broke two windows on a EU office in the middle of the night, in the country they are in charge of, because of the fact that EU support Spain in the YPF cause???
I wont call you stupid, that would offend stupidity...
22. Absolutely, I didn't say it was smart but it is predictable. Next will be a fire at Congress a la 1930's Germany or the equivalent.
May 02nd, 2012 - 01:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you don't see the patterns developing I feel sorry for you.
@22 You're using distortion again, trying to minimize the effects of the explosive blasts, using terms which do not reflect the seriousness of this La Campora terrorist act, like 'broke two windows'.
May 02nd, 2012 - 01:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yankee explained quite clearly in @21 the drivers behind a La Campora attack on an EU office. However, you offer up no such logical explanation. You just offer lies and an attempt to play down the seriousness of the militancy of the organization that you aspire to be a part of.

@28 At this point ScottishPoor_Kirchnerist stops watching his Murdoch pleb-o-vision whilst counting his giro, and types something about the Front for Tyranny not being fascist, but really being love-socialist. This is despite them playing out of exactly the same rule-book as the Nazis in 1930s germany.
May 02nd, 2012 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 029. It's the Peron playbook; nationalize foreign compnaies, bomb the buildings of “the enemies”, railed against ( burned) the opposition newspapers, isolated, promoted replacement to imports etc etc.
May 02nd, 2012 - 02:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am baffled why RGs don't see it.
It is too bad for CFK that there aren't reserves. Peron was at least able to use the huge gold reserves to keep himself if power but ooops there is nothing left to dole out.
So in the end it will be like Venezuela or Zimbabwe. High inflation, high unemployment and empty shelves the Bolivarian dream.
Everyone equal except some are more equal than others.
And so it begins...Argentina begins to slide down the slippery slope to dictatorship, oppression and doom.

Why would an enhanced Molotov at the EU be related to the Falklands? Please get off the importance scale. This obviously has to do with the harrassment of Argentina by the EU.

I need not to respond to complete nonsense, and uninformed nonsense at that. Mendoza never issued “currency”, didn't default on its debts in 2001 (the only province in the nation, only the Capital Federal didn't but they are not a province), and certainly no patacones here as you have the wrong province buddy.

Well, you are wrong, not surprisingly after a very quick search. The only thing that happened was that provincial legislatures are opening their sessions, and both the governmor and local governing chambers meet and give speeches. Somewhere in there surely there was reference of either reducing infraestructure projects or taking debt to financing. Quite distant from your statement of “they are issuing IOUs”.

Toby, Again one of us will be right one of us will be wrong but I'm pretty sure by the end of the year you'll have Patacones in circulation OR the peso will be 10/1. Not sure which will happen maybe both...I'm thinking devaluation first and soon.
May 02nd, 2012 - 05:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Agreed but since you had predicted in February when I read your posts for the first time that the rate would be “14/1 by June, before winter”, I would propose that you don't make so many predictions. Just let things happen.
May 02nd, 2012 - 06:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@42 So toby, blatant diversion aside, what's your opinion of La Campora bombing an EU office? did your cell get notification before it happened?
May 02nd, 2012 - 06:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Loved it. EU has engaged for decades in economic warfare against Argentina.
May 02nd, 2012 - 06:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Also makes Buenos Aires a bit more European, with all the bomb threats. Think Madrid in the 90s (ETA), London in the 80s (IRA), Rome (years of lead), Germany in the 70s (left-wing terror), Paris in the 60s (Algerian terrorism)... now it has that EU feeling, with all the terror and domestic bombings typical of European life.
@44 So you're in full support of La Campora's campaign of bombing of EU targets within Argentina?
May 02nd, 2012 - 06:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes. As long as they remain Molotov sized and just singe the front door's paint, let them have it. Makes them feel a bit at home, and we wanna be nice guests to our European “”“”“”friends“”“”“” . We won't go as far as totally recreating Europe in BA for them, so we will abstain from blasting the subways or phone-calling car bombs.

@46 I was simply getting a feeling for general support for militant terrorism towards foreign targets in the argentine fatherland. I see that your new Chinese owners didn't get attacked. I guess La Campora just aimed at those retreating from investing in your failed state.

Either way, it's fun to see La Campora not bombing their new chinese owners things. Given the track record of Chinese in other failed states, usually in Africa, we'll have to see how long that lasts.

Was it more brave to enable decolonialisation of India?

Re. “dam the UK” .... with the present floods this would be a good idea.

May 03rd, 2012 - 06:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The bravery dig was aimed at Argentina as you are well aware, and iam sure your struggling to provide details of such a subject.
India's independance was agreed during the second world war, it insured a 100 percent effort in defeating the Japanese invasion force (Brave Indian and Brave Commonwealth troops fighting)
After the war as iam sure you know Britian was bankrupted and slowly one by one gave up and granted independance to its former colonies. Partition along racial grounds was nesseary and a terrible time was had by both emerging nations. Both are now emerging and gaining in stature , unfortunately Argentina is fading into economic and moral collapse.
So back to the original point , lack of bravery and humiliated country with a huge chip on shoulder, answer Argentina. Bullying a small island of 3000 souls. Shame on you for supporting such a despotic regime
One more question what has Argentina ever done for another nation to help them??? They are self obssessed caring only for themselves.

2-Argentina sent food to EU while EU was starving during WWI & WWII.
3- Helped Spanish when starving during Franco Era and accepted Spanish nationals refugees.
4-Helped Italy with food and Humanitarian aid by accepting war refugees.
5- Allowed Brit companies to sell food to Germans to finances their war.
6-Recieved Germans escaping from the wars.
7- Bailed out Britain in 1bn pound when she couldn’t paid.
8- Received a huge emigration of EU nationals refugees during and after WWI & WWWII.
9- Is currently providing humanitarian aid in Haiti and Africa.
Now you tell me what your nation had ever done for Argentina?
2-“They are self obssessed caring only for themselves”
May be that is a result of what happened during 2001 when some fellow countries sent used medical material (like used syringes and that kind of stuff) as humanitarian donations.
Or because some fellow EU countries like Spain mistreat them without reason.
A teacher was deported from Spain having a letter of invitation from Spanish Uni. and she lost her pregnancy after being caught 4 hours by Spanish officers and being forced to fly 36 hours non stop.

Did I helped to answer your question?
#29 Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts, I've been quite busy today and just seen this thread, I must say the conspiracy theorising, especially from you, about La Campora has reached new lows with this one. Next you'll be saying the real reason Maximo is chubby is that he's really a giant lizard, don't you know?!

Misiones and Formosa Provinces are provinces of Argentina that were seized and annaxed by Argentina from Paraguay this page is dedicated to address Argentine hyporcacy and ensuring their return to Paraguay.
It's only right that Argentina first addresses its own hyocracy by re-examining its own history before talking about taking more land it has never had soverignty over. Not just the Falklands but South Georgia and the South Sandwhich Islands.
