A bank is far different to National media

Media to ??? produce more government propaganda
Seems poor old Marcos has got his little brain confused (again)....
May 10th, 2012 - 07:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0The poor lad can't tell the difference between theft (YPF) and a bank asking to be nationalised to save itself.
You can't blame him for getting confused, when you have the intellectual skills that equal that of a piece of burnt toast you'll understand him getting confused.
I did find it amusing he then randomly states the UK would do something it hasn't done for over 200 years and then posts a another completely random link to a newspaper.
On another note, it continues to amaze me the number of Argentine's taking pleasure in Spain's problems. This is a country that has supported Argentina when nobody else would in Europe and is also your mother country and this is the way you repay them?
Hypocrisy, hypocrisy where?
May 10th, 2012 - 08:27 am - Link - Report abuse 01-Nationalisation of a private company (Bankia).
2- Discrimination, because only the “cajas” will be expropriated.
3- No payment before compulsory expropriation.
4- They are saying that the part of the “Cajas” has 0 value.
“Lo que parece evidente es que las cajas perderán casi toda su participación en la entidad” El pais
I can see Rajoy and Cameron in the same boat next year sailing toward F@klands Isolation, because after the mess they are making plus rioters wanting to kill them none would like to give them a visa.

“This is a country that has supported Argentina when nobody else would in Europe and is also your mother country and this is the way you repay them?”
Was mother country of Britain first when the Romans sent the Spanish soldier to conquer Britain.
Sorry Dany, your question to me is in very poor English and doesn't make any sense.
May 10th, 2012 - 08:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0As for the rest, well if you can't tell the difference between voluntary nationalisation to save the bank and theft (YPF) then there is little hope which is I guess why you think this is hypocrisy.
Britain does not have a mother country,

We would say Neanderthal man,
From Europe via Africa,
mmmmm
lool
Nationalising a bank to support your country's economy is totally different to stealing an oil company!
May 10th, 2012 - 06:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is laughed at for being backwards. It's 'undemocratic trend' and 'rising corruption' shows that the military dictatorship is still not far enough away in the history books yet. When Argentina enters the developed world then people may start listening to them... at the rate Argentina is going it will never get there.
500 years at the least .

Well your English also sucks and I try my best to understand you, so don’t be lazy.
The fundamental difference is that YPF expropriation, benefits Argentina because has ended the Spanish scam Enron type circle. While the expropriation from “Cajas” (they do not agree with this) of Bankia will ruin taxpayer and the “Cajas” to save corrupted bankers friends of the PP govt.
Let’s say a UK banking style scam.
And if you don’t know what is a “caja” plural “cajas” is something like what was “abbey national” before turned into a bank (building society).
@briton
If you insist “Pakistan” is your mother country ha ha ha.
