Another sámple as recent UK/Murdoch opératioñ was intrigued by invísible hands.

Dec 08th, 2012 - 09:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0So although the 'law' is enacted, the judiciary cannot rule on it.
Are you for fcuking real?
Please tell me, if you dare, just what is the judiciary for in that shithole you call AG?
What a damnable country it has become.
Why not wait until till the constitutional position is clear,would that not be fair?

Not really off topic considering the ludicrous state of the AG Judiciary. Have a look and laugh for yourself:

”Republic of the Children, Argentina
This theme park in La Plata, Argentina, contains all the key elements of a city (parliament, courthouse, airport, hotels, etc), but everything is downsized for children. It was opened in 1951 by Juan Peron, and legend has it that Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland after visiting.”
I would have thought Disney had nightmares about it, he built Disneyland after seeing BsAs, the floods, the poison gas, etc.
Even then it was a disaster: nothing changes.
Most people against the law don't care about Clarín media group. Only the Govt. cares about dismantling Clarín media group because it's a personal issue with CFK. It's the law that's so bad. There's a detailed discussion about the actual law here: http://www.argentinaindependent.com/currentaffairs/newsfromargentina/%E2%80%987d%E2%80%99-the-next-plot-twist-in-the-media-law-saga/ (I suspect this a Govt. sponsored site, because it is heavily moderated. I doubt you would be able to comment other than saying CFK is wonderful, so is the law, etc.)
Dec 08th, 2012 - 12:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I imagine that if the British Broadcasting Corporation was daily going 'off-message', e.g. criticising the policies and actions of the British Government, it would be quickly deconstructed, to rise again as The Government Mouthpiece ('The Voice Of The People').
Dec 08th, 2012 - 12:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Government might even select for it the 'correct' Director General.
[Makes you wonder how Clarin and Veja have survived so long in countries believing in 'direct action'!]
This is a joking comment ... I think.

Dec 08th, 2012 - 01:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How a population reacts to a publication, news channel, etc., is relative to the education and experience of that population.
Lol, the Supreme Court will decide what Kirchner decides the Supreme Court will decide. No self-determination here.
Dec 08th, 2012 - 02:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Interesting to note that in current day Argentina if anyone publishes growth and inflation statistics that are contrary to the official government version they are liable to be prosecuted. Note INDEC's (Argentine government agency)annual inflation statistics are 10% when the true figure is 25%. This is why the IMF is re visiting Argentina on the 17th December brandishing their 'red card'. Argentina has also refused to allow the IMF to review its public accounts since 2006, making it the only G20 nation not to undergo annual reviews.
Dec 08th, 2012 - 02:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0CFKC is criminally insane. Seriously. Nestor kept her chained up but since she got rid of him, all his advisors and set about abusing her power to persecute her personal 'enemies' and carrying out her vendettas, running the country has become secondary. I suspect it is because she does not understand it.
Dec 08th, 2012 - 02:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Interestingly, I hear more and more from young people complaining about her lies and taking away their freedom. They see a drug-addled, narcissistic, idiot who loves to hear herself speaking on prime time TV. The fact that she rambles incoherently is not lost on them.
Elaine, This is why she either needs to stay in power or anoint Maxi. They both would be in jail or dead otherwise.
Dec 08th, 2012 - 03:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am happy to see they have already begun to restrict their Wheat exports...they know its bad bad bad
snicker
'CFKC is criminally insane. Seriously.'
Dec 08th, 2012 - 03:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Elaine, you are much more overt than you used to be.
Do you really CARE that much about the Argentinan people,
that you inveigh so heavily against CFK?
Why is anybody waiting for this joke “Supreme” Court decision? All the judges appointed by the criminal “president”. Anybody want to lay bets?

US$ 100 says that the Supreme Court will find AGAINST the Government!!!!!!
Can any of the Rg answer this for me:
Dec 08th, 2012 - 04:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If a cancer or HIV patient ( or any others) dies because they are denied the ability to buy imported drugs, is that considered murder? And do you think CFK/Moreno etc will be tried for crimes against humanity when they lose power?

Dec 08th, 2012 - 05:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You say:
“ Elaine, you are much more overt than you used to be.”
I say:
I'm happy to see that, even if you have become an insufferable geezer, those academic years of critical thinking still roam somewhere in that British brain of yours ;-)
Keep thinking...
It's healthy...

Dec 08th, 2012 - 05:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think you might be right about this actually.
It could be that the Supreme Court is hacked off about the pressure that the government is putting on them so they could go against them.
But I won't take you bet though, Christmas being just around the corner and all that...
Maybe they are just waiting to see how big their 'Christmas envelopes' from KFC are this year.
Dec 08th, 2012 - 06:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Supreme Court will decide on Clarin/Argentine government conflict

Boy, am I glad I sold my house in Mendoza and left 8 months ago - it feels like having left Germany in December 1932, immediately before the big sh¡t happened.
Dec 08th, 2012 - 10:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I see there is a move , reported in BA Herald for the judges to be impeached for “irregularities” No they didnt like losing this stage of thethe Clarin battle did they?
Dec 09th, 2012 - 01:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Impeachment?! Didnt Paraguay get suspended from the mercosur for using just that legal tool?
Its not a good aidea to try and intimidate the judiciary

I've always found Bo anti-Kirschner.
Dec 09th, 2012 - 10:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0CFK is mental, She was basically saying the judiciary should bend to “the public will” or her will in other words. Then went on to claim she was talking about criminals being let out.... something she has a part in! she lets out criminals to attend her rallies!
