    “they keep attacking us instead of looking for dialogue”

    Under Argentinian “law” how can they reverse a sale from 20+ years ago?

    Do you think when the opposition is in power this is what they will do will all of the Ks properties?

    Well, well, well. ”the decision from the government of President Cristina Fernandez to seize the Argentine Rural Society’s (SRA) fairgrounds in the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Palermo.“ Is ”seize“ the same as ”expropriate“? Has the SRA been compensated? Isn't ”expropriation“ without prior compensation prohibited by the ”constitution“?

    ”blasted the Cristina Fernandez government for its decision to declare as invalid the sale of Palermo to the SRA in 1991, and accused it of “spreading countless lies” as an excuse to justify their “illegitimate decree”. What's new? CFK only knows how to lie. She and her minions lie about everything.

    “the decree reflects the administrations “corrupt, authoritative character” and stated that “surely that appropriation was made in order to increase the sources of corrupt revenue that many in this government have used to get richer.” Nothing new. Just how many members of the ”government“ have hoarded dollars and lied about it? Anybody seen the dollar bills being exchanged for peso notes? Where's the answers to the questions about where ”government“ ministers got their money? How many members of the argie ”government” aren't corrupt, greedy crooks?

    Yes maybe the transactions in Calafate and the funds from the Santa Cruz government deposited in Switzerland might not stand up to scrutiny but where is the courageous investigate judge who might be prepared to investigate that?

    The way this government acts in relation to its enemies, perceived or otherwise means even if it was legitimate you could never trust it.

    Being a nation that has become an agrarian country, totally dependent on farm exports for financing, why rile the farmers?
