Argentina “suggests” banks should limit dollar extractions by credit card holders
The Argentine central bank has informally “suggested” the banking system to limit the advances (in dollars) of credit card holders overseas, reports the Buenos Aires financial press. This is seen as another tightening of the dollar clamp imposed by the administration of President Cristina Fernandez to retain much needed foreign currency. Read full article

Sep 13th, 2012 - 07:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dummyburger will come back with something brillant, in his own mind, from utube or wikipedia. ANd the inflation is listed at 6.8%...BUT....they increase welfare benefits 26%. the peso is being devalued at .5% a week so the argentines don't notice.......I think they notice.
Sep 13th, 2012 - 08:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Next step in the objective of removing dollars from private citizens.
Sep 13th, 2012 - 09:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just a matter of time before the devalution comes and the economy really tanks.
Can Argentines get credit/debit cards easily in another country? What if they're saving up to work in Brazil?
Sep 14th, 2012 - 01:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0Paypal is ending domestic transactions between Argentines. I dont think it's a gov mandate. It may be because inflation is snowballing at .5% weekly. Makes me grateful for all the stability of my country. I wish Argentines that yearn for that to someday have it too.
The good people of Argentina took to the streets all across the country to let ass lips kirchner know what they think. Gotta love when people excercise free speech in protests!!
Sep 14th, 2012 - 01:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0When a government minister has to explicitly state that his nation “is a free and democratic country” it's a signal that it probably isn't.
Sep 14th, 2012 - 02:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0@8 They were out in numbers ALL over Argentina. From Salta in the north to Bariloche in the south.
Sep 14th, 2012 - 03:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0The biggest question is where is the opposition?
#10 opposition the cfk or the protestors?
Sep 14th, 2012 - 10:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0But TMBOA has gone on the telly again to claim that critics of her government 'do not frighten me'.
Sep 14th, 2012 - 10:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Mmmm. Bet they do! :o)
When they start burning her in effigy we shall see who freightens who
Sep 14th, 2012 - 01:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentine people have made their views public, now its up to Kretina to tell us if she will take any notice of what we say.
Sep 14th, 2012 - 02:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unfortunately I don't think she will, her bi-polarity will not allow her to admit she's wrong, so the protests will go on until finally there will be blood in the streets and a remake of 2001!!!!!
If someone intelligent stepped up now and said all the right things, rather than the arrogant foot-in-the-mouth bilge coming from CFKC, they would soon have a massive following.
Sep 14th, 2012 - 02:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@15 “someone intelligent”

Sad for Argentina, sad for all those who hope for better.

Sep 14th, 2012 - 11:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Would you mind posting it on the “Thousands protest...” thread, please??
A good “suggestion” =)
Sep 15th, 2012 - 08:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0#8 “Gotta love when people excercise free speech in protests!!”
Great sentiment! Occupy Wall St. =)
#15 “If someone intelligent stepped up now and said all the right things, rather than the arrogant foot-in-the-mouth bilge coming from CFKC”
Cristina IS the intelligent person saying all the right things, Argentina is blessed that such a person is already in power rather than in opposition like Tsipras, Galloway, Melanchon etc
#19 Why on earth should Cristina resign, she was re-elected with 54% of the vote and there hasn't been a scandal since! She will overcome these difficulties like all the others. And there won't be blood, unless her oligarchic, Galtieriite foes start shedding it, she is a beautiful princess of peace

Sep 15th, 2012 - 11:36 am - Link - Report abuse 054% wrong! It was 33.6% of the eligible vote. We've been through that La Campora bollocks before.
“and there hasn't been a scandal since!”
What about Boudou and the 'printing the money' scandal. Did you not see people in the crowds waving the 'money' with his head printed on it?
What about the fiasco with her neck? Having a smoothing of the old turkey neck under the guise of a cancer operation. One long superficial scar under her throat instead of two scars just below each carotid artery?
Being ill when everything that she's fcuked up comes home to roost?
Flying FatBoy from the south of the country to BsAs in Tango1, I just bet they paid for it- NOT?
Cutting down on wanking to a photo of TMBOA might just calm you down a bit. I think I understand your problem, no decent Scottish woman will touch you with these weird fantasies you have over a rubber doll with an empty head.
Peace.
I take taking donations to have a lifelike animatron doll of cfk made for bk so he will never get out of the horizontal position and post the most stupida, thoughtless, subjective rants.
