Can't wait for the attempt to deflect attention back to the Falklands.
CFK: ”Yes, we have a national strike and yes, we have no fuel. But more importantly, I tried to hand David Cameron an envelope at the G2o!! The Falklands will soon be ours!!”
The Argentinian Federal Police and/or Gendarmarie are not well trained. It is very dangerous to put them against the union protesters.

Because Timerman, with his pliers, impounded the US aircraft and equipment that was to be used to train them. Another brilliant move by timidperson.

Argentina has reached the time for armed insurrection against the Peronists. CFK and fat Maximo need to be shown how the guillotine works

Jun 21st, 2012 - 04:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This truckers need to get back to work because the army is doing what needs to do to keep people happy, for example fuel, why doesn't moyano talk more clear and tells everyone that he is really pushing for higher fuel cost by disrupting distribution, and I imagine there is a long term agenda since a 30% salary increase Sounds like something that will need a lot of debating. Moyano get a life you looser and get your thugs back to work because they will cause many Argentine children to live in hunger and poverty, I really do hope you end up in jail for abusing your power, it's about time for Argentinea to change the leader of CGT anyways!

Jun 21st, 2012 - 05:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“get your thugs back to work because they will cause many Argentine children to live in hunger and poverty, ”
Even when Moyano's“thugs” were working normally, about 30% of Argentine children were living in hunger and poverty.
BTW as a qualified malvinista/kirchnerista surely you should be on the side of the workers, why the sudden change from workers to thugs?
We will march towards Plaza de Mayo and other unions will back us up“, Pablo Moyano said and assured that ”A Government that needs to deploy armed forces to the street is doing something wrong.”

Moyano doesn't seem to care.

Otherwise, this government looks like an entourage of liars.”
@11 Do you think the claim for a 30% pay increase has got anything to do with your 30% inflation? As I understand it, 2 out of 3 unionised workers in argieland belong to the CGT. Doesn't the membership elect the leader? It's what happens in democratic societies! And just as a matter of interest who's paying/supporting you?
Jun 21st, 2012 - 06:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@26 I'm not sure how one goes about importing poverty and hunger. Do they come in containers or tankers? As I understand it, in a modern country, whatever is “produced” is split between what can be used to support the population and what can be sold for export. The exported goods generate money that pays for goods the country has to import. Now, how does it work in argieland?
And still the silly old whore from La Plata deludes her vacuous little army of followers that the tinpot country isn't collapsing - friendless, leaderless and broke - around her ears

I honestly don't think she will go for the big showdown. Her Whining World Tour was a flop and her best mate Hugo has his own problems - like staying alive for a few more months.

If that doesn't work she will fake some illness and bow out. She is just not clever enough to handle the shit coming her way.

Well since people have been asking after me, I'd just like to say I'm still 100% in support of Cristina, and increasingly angry at Moyano who seems like a complete opportunist who instead of backing her in her fight against the workings' old enemy, capital, he takes advantage of the difficulties the bankers have caused to try and drive her out and presumably take power for himself. As an old right wing Peronist he would be a far worse President than her, and there are worse people even than him who could take over if Cristina goes. I hope and pray the workers remember the principles of solidarity on which the workers' movement is built, get rid of their opportunitic leader and rally round Cristina to take on the rich and make society better for the many

While she has stuffed her bank accounts to bursting with ill gotten gains, she has created a nightmare for the workers; high taxes, pay freezes, inflation through the roof, a freeze on dollars and imports.
She is like Marie Antoinette, she's fine and let the peasants eat cake, despite the fact that the cake costs more than they earn in a week.
Soon the peasants will rise up, and your beloved Queen will be brought to account by them. No doubt they are sharpening the guillotine as we speak.

I'm afraid your beloved Cristina is no exception. She will serve her time, people's live's won't change much at all and then she will retire wealthy. It happens in every country on earth, there are no true statesmen/women anymore, the last true statesman in LatAm for example was Lula Da Silva, well at least in my opinion. There are't any more real statesmen/women like Churchill, Thatcher, Roosevelt, De Gaulle etc, for example so please sir don't put your faith in a career politician.
