Disclaimer & comment rulesThe headline sounded a lot better without “stats and official inflation” and should just read “Argentine pro-government unions don’t trust Cristina” I would imagine that is what they are really thinking about her !
Jul 18th, 2012 - 03:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0Its all well and good having Yes men to back you within the government but when you don't get the support from the union's that is when things start to fail for you ...........
What is = a “normalizing” election of CGT ?
Jul 18th, 2012 - 06:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0and also
an “official CGT” which will be contrary to Moyano and his CGT.
How an industry afford to pay a 25% wage increase ????
Jul 18th, 2012 - 09:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0@3 By putting the price of its goods and services up 30%, usually. And so on and so forth until inflation goes from just 'absurdly high' to 'totally out of control'. Fun to watch from afar but wouldn't want to be there.
Jul 18th, 2012 - 09:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0What pathetic spin in the headline, its clear that in general the unionists DO trust Cristina and support the model, its just that contrary to the smears on here about them being flunkies they are still doing their job and representing the workers' interests. Just not using that to bring down a left government and help the right, like Moyano does
Jul 18th, 2012 - 10:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0@5 Nothing wrong with the headline, it accurately reflects the content of the article:
Jul 18th, 2012 - 10:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0“I don’t believe in the Indec at all” said Andres Rogriguez head of the public employees union
What would you prefer the headline to say? Maybe: Look into my eyes, not around the eyes.....and everything is great in Argie-Land, the economy is booming, we are loved around the world for our wit, intelligence and ability to invent things, and we stick to all our international obligations at all times'.
And you're back in the room.....
I'd just ignore BK if I were you. He's just a spoof parody of a teenager with a boner for old ladies.
Jul 18th, 2012 - 10:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is becoming increasingly clear than no one in Argentina believes the offical economic figures which are derived by government cronies. When will CFK admit she has got it all wrong and that inflation is the alrgest problem facing Argentina today. He windows for solving this problems is closing day by day.
Jul 18th, 2012 - 12:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0She needs to worry about this and not be getting involved in trying to involve her government in the affairs of the unions. Who is she to say there will be “normallising” elections (what ever that means). It is key to demogracy that the union leaders are chossen by and supported by their members with 0 government influence. We will have a fractured CGT which ill comprise of the government approved leader and a democraticatly elected yet troublesome leader who does his job, speaks up for his members and embaresses CFKs government by exposing them for the idiots they are. Her grip on power is slipping.
