Argentine takes to the streets on Thursday to protest against Cristina Fernandez
Argentine pro and anti-government officials, politicians and lawmakers took to the nation’s radio stations to speak out on Thursday’s planned 8-N anti-government pot-banging protest, highlighting issues of class and ethics, but denying that the measure could be comparable to the magnitude of protests that took place in 2001.

Oh what Joy! Yet another ever so regular unmistakeable racket of pot clanging a true sound of overwelming public happiness and obedience towards the mafioso regime, and a show of their unwavering love for the competent supreme highness and dear leader of the peoples front of the Argentine republic state.

The counter-campaign and its message is organised (and paid for) by the Peronist government.
In contrast, the protest is a grassroots event by the people.
“Stop crying, grab a pot and go make a fool out of yourself, I need a good laugh”
You seem very disdainful and dismissive of the plight of Argentinians.
Fernandez is one of the nazi “GOEBBELS” in the ck-government. A professional liar like all others under ck. They must defend their criminal programm to hold the arg people stupid about the real situation in the country.

I don't know if I can be considered “neutral” exactly, but very briefly the Argentine oppostition parties are:
FAP - Progressive socialists with a sensible approach to the global market (similar to Dilma Rouseff's socialism in Brasil).
UCR - Social democrats mainly very centred, but with both left and right wing subsets.
CC -ARI - Socialists with a sensible view of global market.
Several smaller groupings of left wing socialist/communist parties.
PRO - Right of centre conservatives, actually running the City of Buenos Aires Government.
Peronismo Federal - Traditional peronism, from centre right to far right.
As you can see the opposition is very fragmented. The main problem being that the leaders of these “parties” are more interested in being protagonists in the political scene than actually doing anything to improve the lot of the Argentine people. This has been a failure of the Argentine political class since the 1930's when it became a way to make money instead of a way to serve the people.
The word “oligarchy” is much used in this context, but really it is outdated. Out grandfathers might have belonged to an oligarchy that was more rigid, exclusive and not meritocratic , but today it is a different world.
Nov 08th, 2012 - 01:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What we have now is a global elite with regional chapters. There is no great plan to subjugate the world as some seem to think, it is just a system that perpetuates itself. Whether Argentine or Angolan we go to the same elite schools, the same top-10 universities, then take positions close to the many distributed levers of power.
Wealth is so hard to get and so easy to maintain, it is not a conspiracy, it is just nature. Presidents come and go, but the king makers remain. The ones on the street are the middle classes, squeezed in the middle; not wealthy enough to be above the economic slowdown, but enlightened enough to see where the bad policy comes from. I feel for them and wish them success with their campaign.
...
Best wishes to all.
On the one hand they say that this 'middleclass dollar buying miami vationing weve got a housemaid' demographic is insiginificant and yet so much fear SO much fear for this event tonight.
Nov 08th, 2012 - 01:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They say respect that the fact that CFK is presidfent because she won 54 pc of the votes and yet they cant respect a demonstration that has never insinuated that there will be civil unrest. Argentines are legally allowed to demonstrate! Its a key indicator of a democracy is it not?
CFK and her mob are worried very worried - simply because they are losing control.

The real truth of the support will show when the people take to the streets this evening.

Nov 08th, 2012 - 04:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was watching the local Los Angeles Spanish language station at 9 AM. The reporter was at the entrance to the building that houses the Argentine consulate in this city. There was a massive turnout and a line up of local people seeking visas for travel, tourism, and Argentine retirees processing documentation for return to their homeland. Many did comment that they were concerned that protesters may slow down the process or that they would have to return if the offices were forced closed. With 35,000+ Argentines in this city, there were no protesters in sight at this time.
I thought that you all ought to know.
@41 where I'm at, there are several thousand various expats from all over the world plus, hundreds of students mostly from SA. I found it most amusing that all the argentine students, as well as other SA students took N8 into their theme for the annual fancy dress haloween party in the town...this is a huge event started friday evening, and finished monday morning. You should have seen the theatrical macabre killings of the botox queen....

The ex-military behind bars and the politicians that have fallen are only tools. The division between rich and poor continues to grow, a clear sign that the aims of neither side are achieved.
Comparing results on social media sites is a parody of the situation – people fighting, discussing, debating, protesting while none of the causes they champion will achieve the outcome they want....while Mr Zuckerberg achieves exactly his.

Nov 09th, 2012 - 02:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0The picture on the bbc wasn't with a wide angle lense and it seemed massive enough a crowd to me. Nothing will change these malvinistas point of view on it all, if she stands down they'll say she did great service and it was a conspiracy or health reasons, anything apart from the truth that shes pretty much hated as a liar, an incompetent and an elitist. “My queen, her legacy will be great and history will prove her right” bla bla bla. Goodbye and good riddance. Lets hope the next leader has two brain cells to rub together so we can get a spark of sense or decency from them.

Socialists despise the working people, whom they consider a tool to gain power so they can grab everything within reach.

What an idiot!!!!!!!
Last night the GOVERNMENT estimated 700.000 on the 9 de Julio!!!!!!
Most observers calculate that well over a million people manifested in Bs. As. and close to 500.000 in Rosario. I've not seen any estimates for the other cities throughout Argentina, but in our small town the protesters were up by 25% compared with September 13th.!!!!!!!!!

Make sure the barrels are clean and free and hand the boys plenty of ammo.

Luciano Pavarotti open concert had an audience of 200,000 and 9 de Julio was fuller than the photos.
Three years to go and counting fellers. I will say, that being in argentina is never boaring.
She will be assianted, or “die” or natural causes long before those three years arrive
Nov 09th, 2012 - 10:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#96 A short, hust war against the vultures would do wonders for her popularity, who would want to march against her in BA if it was a clear choice between her and an army fighting for Singer! Of course I hope it won't come to that but its something the other side should definately factor into their calculations. A good point was made ont the discussion under that article - Ghana invited the warship to visit as a sign of friendship, then impounded it, surely a causus belli?!
Nov 09th, 2012 - 10:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#99 Are you sure Cristina should do nothing to change the constitution and stand down, if she wins the Liberty War (if there is one) surely re-election would be hers for the taking if she wants it, and who could do better? I know Timmerman would be good, so would Alicia Castro and I'm sure others in the K camp, but I'd sure miss her charisma and spirit
#100 You wish!
Castro was chubby chavos BJ machine....what a joke. As for wishing....I wish for nothing, if I don't have it, I don't need it. Actions are not wishable comodities bk, everything that will happen will happen. Wishing is for losers.

last line: “... the armed crew, who only laid down their arms later in the evening.”
Having reading problems? or did you lose your third brain cell?
If the crew fire at the Ghanaian port authority, it constitutes an act of war (ARA Libertad being a ship of war, right?) and they'll be wiped out.

You still refuse to anwser......all your claims of how Argentina is worthless. One thing is wonderful about the protest.....it keeps sickening asslips. She had to cancel her Spain trip. Her doctor is telling people it's a 40 hour flight to Spain and back. They must think the Argentine's are really that stupid. Anyway.....maybe a weekly protest will kill her !!!

#99 the captain and crew are sailors, you know.....400 men go out to sea and 200 couples return. Sure....they were brave as hell against unarmed portmaster. Will they shake they balls when the Army sends a armored vehicle with a 102 mm canon on it to ask them to move?
