Jul 19th, 2012 - 11:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0CFKs administration only reconises unions alligned to her politcal ideals. This is the first step into a totalaterian state similar to that seen by the Junta. We only wish to discuss ideas with people who agree with us. This split in the CGT will only cause increased embarasment for her administration and I hope that there can be a tactical partinership between Moyano and the other polital parties who oppose CFK in the tun up to the mid term elections.

This guy is so lame, the real masochism or indeed sadism for workers is to follow him, after everything Cristina has done for the poor and with everything that still needs to be done and her as the best one to do it, he just sounds ridiculous. But he's free not to vote for her in 2015, interesting that he thinks she'll be on the ballot so I hope he's right about that! As for an alliance with opposition parties, its one thing to get workers to go on strike when the economy is going through difficulties, quite another to get them to vote for candidates promising austerity and a return to neoliberlaism!

Jul 20th, 2012 - 02:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What has CFK done for the poor?
1) She has made them dependent on government handouts in exchange for their votes.
2) She and Nestor have created nearly a whole generation of people who have completely lost the will to work.
3) She has created an economic situation where everybody in Argentina including the poor is paying almost 3% of their income in inflationary tax.
4) She has created a situation where the Argentine people live in fear for their lives due to the increasing violent crime rate.
5) Due to her agressive form of expression she has alienated large sectors of society, causing more and more intra-class hatred than has existed in Argentina since the time of Rosas.
6) Due to #5) she has closed the door on foreign investment in Argentina causing enormous lay-offs and sackings in idustry, with the consequences this brings.
I could go on forever, but these few notes sould show that this woman is destroying Argentina for the sole reason that she wants to be more that Evita to the Argentine, she has failed utterly, she'd have done better by dying 10 years ago!!!!!
'CFK wants to be CGT's secretary general,' that explains a lot .....

All the quote says was she “wants to represent us all” which she should do and is doing as President. But I can't think of a better leader for the CGT than her actually. Perhaps if she stands down in 2015 that would be the ultimate check and balance on her successor to keep acting in the intersts of the workers and people, or else =)
Jul 22nd, 2012 - 09:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0“She wants to represent us all,” assured Barrionuevo and said the Head of State’s unity hopes are a lie. You can not miss part of the sentence out just to your point ! She is a liar & a compulsive one at that ! Moyano wont be voting for her ! I certainly wont be voting for her ! so I guess BK you will have to return to make your vote count ! ... BTW I heard an ex lorry driver could well become a candidate for presidency ! A unionist becoming a president where have I heard that before !!!! hmmmm
