Argentina to request on Monday a review of US Judge Griesa latest ruling
Argentine Economy Minister Hernán Lorenzino assured during a press conference on Thursday that “paying off the vulture funds is illegal,” and said that the ruling by US District Judge Thomas Griesa against Argentina is “unfair”. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesSo basically Argentina is saying “we gave an option to people to either accept payments from us on a heavily reduced level, or choose not to, however if they chose the second option then we would say they were vultures and refuse to pay them anything at all”. The fun thing is, that even if Argentina does reject these payments and gives nothing, well that just means that no boat or plane will ever be able to leave Argieland again, for fear of it being impounded. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater, indeed.

Nov 23rd, 2012 - 06:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0Have Argentina learned some humility? Requesting instead of 'demanding' and 'insisting'.
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 07:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0No didn't think so.
Is it me or is he looking a little tired and “hunted”??
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 07:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0oooohhhh I bet KFC / TMBOA / Asslips Fernández / TMBOA / The Harpy has had a “little talk” with him as well as Laughing boy Timerman.
Is it true the rumour that CFK is losing her hair and Lorenzino is being forced to grow his so that she can use it as hair extensions?
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 09:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0”Who is going to accept a debt restructuring, with significant cuts and 30 years long term if with time, patience, good lawyers and a permeable judge they can collect the full face value of the bonds?”
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 09:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe people will restructure more carefully, without writing blank cheques as part of the process.
Maybe people will accept their responsibilities as an issuer of debt, and see vulture funds as the price they have to pay for not managing their finances conservatively, so avoid putting themselves in a position to have to restructure.
Maybe they won't issue debt in the first place if they have any doubts about their ability to repay it.
All these things make the market more efficient, and I think we can ALL agree that what the world needs right now is better fiscal management. This should be a nice case study to educate undergrads in established and emerging markets.
Argentina is officially finished! PLEASE INVADE OUR COUNTRY AND TAKE US OVER CHILE, UK, URUGUAY, USA.......SOMEBODY PLEASE!!

Anything they don't like is always dismissed with their favourite three words. Colonialism, piracy and sovereignty.
But remember that AG put in their original moan to the court at 15 min to midnight and yet this prat claims:
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 10:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0”Lorenzino also complained that contrary to what is normal and customary, “we received the Judge’s decision by e-mail at a very unusual time, very late at night”. He added that nine presentations were made between last Friday and Monday, that is 48 hours, in which they were analyzed and the decision came in yesterday (Wednesday) at last moment, and since today is a holiday in the US, it means the ruling only took 48 hours”.
So, as usual, it's OK for AG to piss about at the last minute but not for the judge to send his email out late, even though he was going on holiday?
I should think that Judge Griesa is absolutely fed up with all the challenges on the most spurious of grounds that this bunch of wannabe crooks foist upon him.
And now they are saying he does not have the power to judge in his own court.

Nov 23rd, 2012 - 11:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0”Judge Griesa doesn't have the power to define this current situation”.
Then what the hell are your lawyers doing in his court????????????????????????
They fail to state that in all other situations, the haircut on the debt is negotiated to a level with which both parties are comfortable. Argentina seems to have this childlike idea that, in a negotiation, you get everything you want and the other side get nothing. Strangely, when you become an adult one of the first things to realise is that, in a negotiation, you are going to have to give some things up to get what you want. Until they understand this they are going to find life on the international stage very difficult.
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 11:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just off topic a bit, though worth mentioning. I see the trade surplus once again is continuing the trend and down 50% to just over 500 million and steel production down 18%. I think the nails in her coffee are being hammered on all cylinders.

Nov 23rd, 2012 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Does anyone know where the rumours of the $45bn reserves came from?”
Yes I do.
Cristina Fernandez Kirchner - President of Argentina, during her visit to speak at Harvard University.
So either Argentina has the US$45 billion reserve and just won't pay....or the US$45 billion doesn't exist and they can't pay making CFK a LIAR.
Any bets on which one it is? ;)
The BBC seem to think that this ruling will seriously prejudice the ability of nations in trouble to re-structure their debts.
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It thinks this would be 'a bad thing'.
It does not consider that those making the loans want their money back with the loan interest.
Perhaps the BBC thinks that failure to pay what you owe is not such a 'a bad thing'.
Yes, the BBC is in serious trouble and is edging even further to the Left with it's new top appointment.
I believe the concept of sovereignty is outdated in many ways and that this change will be a good thing making governments more responsible. The world is now so intertwined that it is much easier to sanction a nation without going to war.
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 12:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What is it with this “thing”? “if with time, patience, good lawyers and a permeable judge they can collect the full face value of the bonds?”, asked Lorenzini” Really? So with time (how long?), patience (don't bother us, we're busy stealing more money), good lawyers (loadsa money) and a permeable judge (does that mean corrupt? Or stupid?), they can collect the full face value of the bonds? To whom is he offering the full value of the bonds? The bondholders who accepted the “haircut” as a means of getting some of their money back? Desperate rearguard action. Do we have an American who can comment on this “request”? Is it similar to asking permission to appeal in the UK? Can the Court simply say “No.” Let's see argieland stitched, sewn and buried.
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 02:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Slightly different topic but we've obviously tried to get US$ out of Argentina as my wife's mum used to send them over. She is not longer allowed and, even with my highly creative ways of hiding cash, we still haven't managed.
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 02:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Question: How does CFK get money to her daughter who is studying in the US when it is impossible to send it through the banking system. If anyone can tell me I'd be interested to know as I will use the same method in future
a crook like Lorenzino and his fellow gang members feels treated illegaly because he has stolen money and becomes sued by the victim and condemned by the court. that is his meaning of arschistic justice. welcome in north korea, somalia pirates and other robber gangs. and ck!
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 03:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's just a stalling tactic that will not really work. The Appellate Court already ruled and upheld the lower courts ruling. The only place now is the Supreme Court of the United States and that is not a given. SCOTUS will only take maybe 90 cases out of as many as 10,000 requested for a judiciary. And all of these request have been submitted already and the Justices clerks are reading and writing summaries of all the requests. They have certain criteria for accepting a case. Even at that, the new session will not start until September 2013 when they announce the cases they will review. I assume what they will try and do is ask SCOTUS for a stay until SCOTUS decides if they are taking the case. In theory, assuming they submitted their appeal to SCOTUS and if a SCJ grants a stay, they can milk this until September 2013 when they anonounce the SCOTUS case reviews. If they accept it....they buy even more time, if not.......it all ends there from the judiciary POV. The likihood of they getting this case reviewed at best......nil to minimal, they chances of getting a stay.....I would suggest they buy some lottery tickets.

When you are convicted of a crime, you not only lose your right to freedom, but all actions accorded to a free living person living within the rules of a given society. Prison is your chance to pay the price of your burden to society and redeem yourself WHEN you are released. Britain, do not change your position for criminals.

@26
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 05:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not the point, and no cares about your USA/UK values. They signed up to agree to certain common rules and human rights, did the UK with the EU. They are OPENLY saying they will defy it... When a country defies the international community, especially when they are part of an entity and they refuse to agree to what they signed... THEY are rogues, and are violating court rulings, end of story.
As Idleheads said @20, the concept of sovereignty is outdated. The UK must obey this ruling and that's that, because any person arrested in the UK from other countries must have the protections promised by the EU.
Or didn't the UK recently NEGATE the extradition of a person to the US because of fears of the US system, which from the UK point of view seems archaic, barbaric, and Hammurabian?
Oh, check mate.
The UK disobeys the court order, they are rogues. No buts.
As for the USA, why do you think every country on Earth is more and more refusing to extradite people to your corrupt justice system? Gosh you had an industry of putting INNOCENT TEENAGERS IN JAIL SO THAT THE JUDGES AND THE CORRECTIONS FACILITIES INCREASED THEIR PROFITS!!!
How more putrid and immoral can you get. No one respects the American justice system. It's all about eye for an eye, retaliation, and revenge, not civilized justice.
Judge Griesa being exhibit A, because he decides that the words of one woman change his ruling. So much for “justice is blind” statues you showcase in your pathetic excuses for courthouses.
Recapping: UK is now at the level of Argentina, congratulations.

Nov 23rd, 2012 - 08:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@38 A few small points. The European Court of Human Rights is an organ of the Council of Europe. Nothing to do with the EU. The ECtHR has no means of enforcing its rulings. Prior to the introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998, the ECtHR could not interfere in the UK judiciary or its actions. The UK Parliament has been determined to be sovereign. The UK Parliament that criminals, such as argies, will not have a vote. The ECtHR cannot enforce fines. The ECtHR cannot enforce the payment of compensation. The UK is so much better at the LAW than argie dummies or European numpties. In point of fact, there are grounds for indicting the so-called “justices” of the ECtHR for interfering in the sovereign rights of a sovereign state. Admit that you know nothing about REAL law. Don't bother to “rely” on corrupt argie “law”. Want to go for the unconstitutional expropriation of YPF without prior compensation? Try to understand that WE have a couple of thousand years more experience and knowledge of law than you do. And we created most of it anyway!

What you obviously do NOT know about the European Union is

2. the union is not and cannot be above a member country's parliament, a question of constitutions.

What's next?
The 2013 argentine default is gonna make Peru and even Ecuador overtake Argentinain the per capita GDP?
What Argentina fails to accept and why the SCOTUS will not accept this case, why the International Court will not rule in favor of Argentina is because this ruling has minimal to no impact on newer bond issues. The pari passu clasue is all but eliminated and newer clauses defined to allow for restructuring. Get over Argentina ....the choices are simple......pay your legitimate debts for the money you took in from the lenders. You will always have the credit system because you were too corrupt to properly manage your debt and payments.

The level and amount of shit piling up at one time. I am heading after the holiday!!

Nov 26th, 2012 - 02:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why's that then, because they recognise the dangers Cristina is talking about perhaps? So why cause Argentina to implement a systemt hats been agreed to be wrong, and destroy itself. If one doesn't actually WANT Argentina destroyed, there must be some way round Griesa's destructive technicality...
@BK, that's called rewriting the law, by legislators. And that's completely doable.
Nov 26th, 2012 - 03:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Griesa seems like a good honest member of the -judicial- branch, that interprets -existing- law. (Interestingly, I just read that Argentina has NEVER argued in U.S. court that the resale funds were illegal.)
So this is a GREAT proposal! BK for nations (The change of admin required may be controversial): http://m.guardiannews.com/commentisfree/2012/nov/25/greece-debt-crisis-didnt-need-to-be-this-bad?cat=commentisfree&type=article
Because most intelligent governments read the fine print. Regardless why it was there......it IS there. Argentina took the money now they need to pay it back. The law is the law....ways of helping cristina.....she is the one that has stomped on toes, yelled screamed.....she has no clue as to what diplomacy means.

Nov 27th, 2012 - 08:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0Chris you get the impression argentina is spinning faster and faster? Now Paraguay discovers oil on the border. Maybe a new borders war.

Nov 27th, 2012 - 03:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Paraguay didn't do very well in the last war they fought, but Argentina is a push over compared to Chile so I just cannot see even TMBOA starting one.
I think, Chris,
Nov 27th, 2012 - 05:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0that the UN would intervene with a predominantly LatAm peace-keeping force (CH/MEX/COL/etc), if AR/VE/BO/(BR)/(UR) crossed the border ..... but they would have to be quick, because it would be all over bar the shouting before a UNSC special committee could be convened.
The UK could help save PA by making the Falkland garrison available for UN deployment ;)
With the way Mercosur members treated Paraguay and chubby chavo being the new big daddy, I can see them taking advantage of a weaker nation.

Nov 27th, 2012 - 07:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was not actually joking when I suggested that AG may attack on its own, BUT I note your point about a gang of them turning up. Surely you are not suggesting Uy would get involved?
Hi Chris @#86.
Nov 27th, 2012 - 08:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No, hence the brackets, but there are 'defense' agreements via Unasur that may translate into surrogate support.
Like Russia supplying China in Korea, VE and (others?) might feel duty -bound to supply AR with weapons and 'advisors', as it externalises its internal problems with an easier target than TFI.

Nov 27th, 2012 - 09:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I get it now, thanks.
Mind you, if AG did ever try to take Paraguay your idea of using the Falklands Defence Force against them is an excellent one that would really help with the UKs relationship.
I think probably 2 Typhoons, a Ghurkha force (the AGs HATE the thought of them) a Type 45 and an Astute would be more than enough to send the AG crap-hoppers back home with their heads in their hands (kukris are lethal) ;o)
