This is a massive waste of time and energy. No need to embark on a campaign to defend the model if it is working so well. After all, everyone in Argentina can see the benefits of this model daily so why the need to convince people?

Jul 05th, 2012 - 10:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Nice unbiased reporting there!
#3 How naieve can you get, of course a good model can make enemies just like a good policy of standing up to Rupert Murdoch would not be supported by the Sun in Britain! The campaign is needed to convince people not to fall for the lies of their objective enemies at Clarin etc
@4 Yes, the “harangue” was over the top. No need. I'm getting confused with regards to the inflation rate, rate of growth etc, who is it who is lying at the moment?

6. Joe. what do you expect for a Peronist, Populist, nationalist, Argentinian government.

Jul 05th, 2012 - 12:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What is this damn model she keeps banging on about. Is it written down or detailed in an economic journal.
No.
The “model” is just her term for her government's propensity to clatter around from one fiasco to the next while increasingly implementing draconian anti competitive command economy policies.
Any benefit of the doubt vanished long ago. She's a political dictator and an economic idiot.
And urged people to preserve the achievements of the Government,

Any politician that must go out and campaign to their public and convince them that they are doing good..........well, that speaks for itself. BUT!......just incase to the ignorant and blind...........If the public is doing well, they do not need to be campainged that they are, if the public was doing well, there would be not strikes and if the public was doing well a national leader would not be opening pig and pasta factories. Hey....there's a new motto for KFC.....pig and pasta for all!!! Let the good times roll baby !!!!!!
Jul 05th, 2012 - 01:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“The responsibility of all Government officials is to safeguard jobs and the development of all Argentines and thus look after the present and the future of Argentines,” Abal Medina said as he addressed lawmakers.
Jul 05th, 2012 - 02:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Tell that to the 3.600 employees let go by Renault Argentina, Juanma, and the poor fruit growers in Río Negro and Neuquén who can't sell their product in Brasil. Let's hope that the government strategy in La Rioja gets the Nucete employees their jobs back, Juancito, and what about several thousand fishermen who are out of work in Mar del Plata, San Antonio, and points South?
“There are some sectors that want Argentina to fail, they are minority sectors, but they are powerful. They are anti-democratic, because they dream with a different, democracy-free Argentina.”
In other words “Clarín miente.” If Argentina fails, what will Magnetto's holdings in Argentina be worth, Juanma? I think that what they dream of is a free democracy in Argentina, like most Argentines do.
Stop talking rot Juan Manuel, speak the truth, you kirchneristas have messed up both politically and economically and should stop following this ridiculous “model”, and admit that its not working. We cannot go on putting up with 30% inflation, its slowly killing off the middle class and has already slaughtered the poorer classes. You politicians are the only ones who are surviving this debacle.
So whats the current inflation rate in Argentina at the moment? The government says 10%. I wonder how much more expensive daily food staples are now compared to a year ago. Oh yes thats right 30%+ more expensive...That makes CFK's lot liars...
Jul 05th, 2012 - 03:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The economic 'model' was simply to say FO to the money lenders and grow from a very low starting point. it would have been impossible not to especially with all that Argentina has. Thats not genius. A 10 year old could have 'formulated' that 'model'.
Its simple. If the government is doing a good job the benefits their actions bring will speak louder with the public than any anti government media. Why such insecurity?
After 10 years of Kirchnerism it looks as if Argentina is going to be in a worse position than it was in 2001. There is no plan. There is no residual success of the K 'government'. And any reasonably intelligent free thinker can see that.

Yes, but we are talking about The Mad Bitch of Argentina and her cohorts (plus Blind_Scottie_Kirchner) here!

Jul 05th, 2012 - 06:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you need to ask why the leader of a real nation does not go around opening pig factories or any factory for that matter, unless of of course the impact has such national importance, then you would never understand the answer.
Let your black widow start opening brothels, because in a year of so the paid whores will be the only employed in Argentina with a wage that keeps pace with the real inflation........well, at least KFC keeps the makeup stores in business.
Face the fact that your own “crisis” is no such, it's a mere response to the “3rd world” not wanting to uphold your socially and environmentally destructive, unequal society.

Jul 08th, 2012 - 03:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You constantly let yourself down Tobias. You had not used to be so bitter: perhaps you should stop using drugs.
I would be dismayed if any of the Brits spoke about a natural disaster in Argentina in this way.
Do you think the poor devils in the UK who have lost all their possessions in the current floods have brought it on themselves?
Please pull yourself together young man and start behaving properly.
Who said anything about people deserving misfortune? Stop telepathy, you'r not good at it.
Jul 08th, 2012 - 03:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I just said some of the crops in the US are baking away. No one is dying, and those farmers are well taken care of, they don't compete in the “free market” as we know because like European farmers, they are guarded by a warchest of billions and protectionist measures. Oh btw, those are the same countries whinging about some secondary trading partner somewhere in South America doing THE EXACT SAME thing, just on other products.
“I would be dismayed if any of the Brits spoke about a natural disaster in Argentina in this way”.
Too late. Though obviously “winter” isn't exactly a natural disaster. But they sure love it if argies freeze though!
You do not deserve my proper behavior. When all of you start with your attempts at verbal humiliation, then I will stop. Until then, your daily hatred of Argentina gives me free license to reply with alacrity and on similar terms.

Jul 08th, 2012 - 07:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I must admit when you first came onto Mercopress with your, shall we say 'strong views', I assumed you were the normal Malvanista. When I realised that was not the case I stopped my 'strong' responses.
I have not disabused you, in fact I have genuinely tried to help advise you, for all the good it has done me.
You seem to confuse intelligence with sense and education as a way of lauding it over others.
Genuine education prepares the pupil for mature living. The way you have been posting lately shows you have high schooling but little education.
Saying you 'hate' things when you have never experienced them is somewhat foolish and definitely shows a lack of maturity.
With the best of intentions from someone who has had a very full life and has learned the value of listening before speaking: and then only after due consideration.
I repeat, no one here deserves maturity on my part. The continued belittlement of my country and the people that live in it merely because of their nationality gives me full liberties to reply in kind, and in fact I am not as caustic as quite a few of your haughty compatriots.
